Random Thoughts

1.) I was reading an article today by former Secret Service Agents and the behind the scenes look they give about certain presidents. The agents who served JFK confirmed the long held belief that the President would have numerous mistresses meet with him when his wife was gone. They would even have to radio one another to keep an eye on the First Lady to make sure their boss wasn't busted in the act. The most surprising account came from an agent who served under President Carter. He said that the agents were never allowed to make conversation with the President, nor were they supposed to look him in the eye when he was passing by. They also were ordered to carry the President's luggage around, except of course when the cameras were on him. In one instance, the President carried a suitcase with absolutely nothing it just to give the impression that he was a man who carried his own luggage.

2.) Famed movie director Tim Burton is bringing Alice in Wonderland to the big screen. The film will be showcasing Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter. Check out the trailer...something tells me this is either going to be absolutely awful or amazing. Check out the trailer:

3.) The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, John Conyers, said that it was impossible to read the entire 1,000 plus pages that make up the health care bill because every lawmaker needs at least two lawyers to read along so they could understand it. Yet, Conyers voted for the bill and dismissed criticisms that members of Congress voted for the bill without reading it. Newt Gingrich responded on FoxNews by asking how the average American citizen is supposed to understand their would-be new health care plan if the chairman of the Judiciary Committee can't even understand the bill without the aide of two lawyers by his side. Maybe part of Obama's stimulus plan can be to hire a lawyer for each family when it comes time to make their health care decisions.
