Anyone watch South Park last night? A repeat will be airing tonight, but it was pretty funny. Tore into 9/11 conspiracy theorists (myself being among them, though not to the degree that they were poking fun at). Last week's World of Warcraft episode was pretty funny, too. I've never played WOW (or even seen it played), but I've heard a lot about it and from everything that I've heard, the episode portrayed the - um - symptoms accurately. It almost made me want to find someone who has the game on their PC and play it.

I saw the prequel to the remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre last Friday. It kept my interest, but it's really not that different from the remake a few years back. Nothing I would rush to theaters and see again.

300, however, I'll be one of the first in line to see. I loved Sin City and, judging by the trailer, this is going to blow it away. I'm hoping it jumps ahead of Gladitor and Troy on my "Men with Swords" list.

Alpha Dog should be pretty well made, also. I heard about it a year or so ago but nothing since. I thought maybe it was a dead project but evidently it just took a bit for it to finally hit theaters.

Also Sarah, I don't know if I mentioned it on here or not but I finally got around to watching Brick. Great movie. I loved how it was basically an organized mob story set against a high school backdrop.

Just saw this on the Drudge Report. After listening to Pat Buchanan on Bill Mahr's show last week, I can't help but wonder how bad the border situation is going to get before something is done. I'm not quite sure what that "something" has to be, but it's going to have to be something. Personally, I think it should be a combination of better law enforcement and military resources assigned to the border coupled with an easier and more efficient process for becoming a citizen. I think so long as a person does not have a criminal record in their home country (unless one can demonstrate that the record should be ignored, such as being given a temporary grace period in which employment can be built and no criminal offenses in the United States during that period) they should be extended every opportunity to come into this country. I think that's a reasonable, sound policy.

I'm rooting for Detroit in the playoffs. They haven't won it all since '84 and the 90's didn't treat the franchise very well. It's too bad Alan Trammel couldn't have been at the helm for the turnaround, but it's pretty obvious that Jim Leyland is an amazing manager headed to the Hall of Fame on his first ballot.

Shaun Alexander is out this week, which is about what I figured. A lot of people seem to want him to come back right now, especially after the beat down in Chicago, but we're only in Week 6 (about a third of the way through the season). There's a lot left to play and it's better he miss two games (thank you bye week) than the remainder of the season.

If you want to read one of the most offbeat sports columns, I'd recommend Uni Watch. Paul Lukas breaks down uniforms. He's pretty funny, too.

Gregg Easterbook's Tuesday Morning Quarterback is probably the most intelligent sports column ever. I read it every Tuesday and, if anyone decides to check it out, I think you'll see why.
