I say we arm Saddam Hussien to the teeth so he can kick Iran's ass and then maybe Iran will release our Hostages! He can be trusted!
 

That new Star Wars movie they're working on looks like it's going to suck. What kind of stupid name is "The Empire Strikes Back" anyway? Star Wars is a one-hit wonder it seems :(

Anyone else see Star Trek last weekend? I thought it was ok, but I bet we never hear from those guys again. Not with Star Wars stealing the show anyway.
