Corrupt Politicians and a Kick Ass movie

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

I took an online quiz this week that said I was a left leaning Libertarian. I’m a registered Independent and if I had to be pigeon-holed into a party I would probably pick that one. I have never really agreed with Republicans and after meeting several Democratic politicians never really felt like I could be a Democrat, although I have an easier time agreeing with them than Republicans. I just have a hard time trusting politicians in general and don’t agree with the fact that most elections are about picking the lesser of two evils. Sometimes it  feels like picking between the cleaner of two pigs.

Because of these feelings I was rather pleased when I saw a post by my 8th grade social studies teacher on Facebook about the Judicialwatch.org realeasing their list of Washington’s “Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians” for 2009. It’s an interesting read and kind of funny to see who made the list. Not surprising though, there are only a few politicians I actually respect and the rest are probably on this list after number 10.     

In other news,  Kick Ass the movie comes out next Friday 4/16/10  and I’m a little stoked and a little frightened. The comic book was really good and I have always been a fan of Mark Millar’s work. However, his last story that was made into a movie “Wanted” was a complete let down. The comic was so good and written to be a movie so it should have been easy to make, but sadly the result had almost nothing to do with the comic.  Kick Ass looks very much like the comic, at least from the trailer but I am still a little concerned.
     
Regardless, I will still go see this if anything it should make for a good popcorn flick.
