BATMAN!


Saturday my buddy JP and I went to see Batman: The Dark Knight. I won't comment on the film so I don't spoil it, but I will say it is AWESOME! Heath Ledger was so great as The Joker. This was the best comic book film I've seen to date.



Christian Bale is great as Batman. He's tough, good fighter, handsome, smart, compassionate, sexy...he's just gooooood.

However, he's no Adam West...And no one will ever be able fill Adam West's leotard...NANA NANA NANA NANA BATMAN!

Ban on Fast Food Proposed for South Los Angeles

This is from an article in the Los Angeles Business Journal...

Los Angeles City Councilwoman Jan Perry is launching the largest Big Mac attack the nation has ever seen.

Last year, Perry proposed a one-year moratorium on new fast-food restaurants in South Los Angeles. She told the Business Journal last week she wants to make it permanent.
The ban, for which Perry has already gathered support, would prohibit new fast-food outlets in 32 square miles of the city, including Watts, Crenshaw and Baldwin Hills – an area with perhaps hundreds of the restaurants.
The ban is intended to stop the proliferation of eateries that serve unhealthful food and save the remaining vacant land in the area for other development. It would be the largest such ban in the nation, according to experts familiar with such issues.
The ban, like the moratorium, would apply to eateries such as McDonald’s, KFC and Taco Bell. Existing restaurants would be allowed to continue operating.
“What I hope happens is we make it a permanent ordinance, so we can continue our efforts to protect people’s health in a permanent way,” Perry said. “It’s also a land-use issue. We don’t want to lose whatever available land there is to activities that are detrimental to people’s health.”
Perry proposed up to a two-year moratorium in September, but by December had settled on a one-year moratorium. Now she wants it to be followed by a permanent ban.

Does anyone else find this offensive? This woman is basically saying that, as an individual citizen, I am incapable of choosing where and what to eat. That I am so lacking in willpower and sound judgement that I need someone to regulate my meals. Perhaps Ms. Perry would prefer a nationwide implementation of government regulated cafeterias. We would all stand in line with our tray, and our food and drink would be provided to us. We would not be able to choose what we were having for lunch, no, that overwhelmingly complicated decision would be made FOR us. Sort of like elementary school when I was a kid. Except even then, I had the option of bringing my own lunch. I love how this woman believes that by removing the fast food restaurants she will somehow be curing obesity. The only thing this legislation cures is freedom.
