I'm not sure if any of you will find this interesting... But Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders just became the first Socialist to be elected to the U.S. Senate. 1 down 99 to go! An interview: http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=06/11/08/1457245 Any thoughts?

I'm so looking to seeing this movie! I'm a sucker for bloody action flicks. It's about the Battle of Thermopylae and is based on graphic novels by Frank Miller (the Sin City guy). Who else is excited?! Trailer: http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/300/trailer1/

I just saw this movie and loved it. Very funny and the cast were all awesome actors. It even had a cute emo boy! Has anyone else seen it???

I wanted to get my nephew a book for Christmas, but I'm not very knowledgable about books for children his age (around 4 1/2). I want to get something that he'll enjoy listening to and eventually be able to read on his own in a couple years. Basically I'm looking for the best children's book...
