I saw this tidbit today, and all I could think was “Thank God!”

Any Superman fan who saw Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle should be relieved. That was one of the few sequels I’ve ever seen that was so bad it made me regret seeing the first one.

They’re apparently still having casting problems, too, after a litany of completely-wrong-for-the-part actors, from Nicholas Cage to Josh Hartnett to Jude Law have come and gone. Good grief, why don’t they just cast Jim Carrey and be done with it? I know Warner Bros. is trying hard to find a big name to cast as Superman, but I think they should learn from Smallville and go with lesser names that better fit the characters. It didn’t work out so bad for the original film, which was Christopher Reeve’s second film.

As the rhetoric gets louder and louder, with less and less connection to reality, I feel a responsibility to say - I was wrong to support the Bush administration in invading Iraq. It seems clear to me that the President was willing to claim whatever was necessary to justify our invasion, willfully misinterpreting (or flat-out fabricating) evidence to do so. If the President was a Democrat (or the Congress was), I have no doubt he would be impeached by now because of his lies. I am even more disappointed that the man who made the case for me, British PM Tony Blair, went along with the charade.

It has been an incredibly busy six months, and I haven’t posted a single item about us, the baby, or anything.

The last few months of Jennie’s pregnancy were trying for her. She suffered from sciatica for a few weeks, which she managed to get through thanks to physical therapy. Luckily, nothing was wrong with the baby through all of it.

Sabrina Michelle Patten was born on May 12, 2004, at 8:06PM MDT. She weighed 6 lbs. 12 oz. at birth and was 19 inches long. She is the most beautiful baby girl on the planet, and I’m not at all biased (I swear!).
