How time flies -- the youngest is a teenager in For Better Or For Worse. How funny Get Fuzzy is -- look at the mouth alone of Bucky in the first panel. lol. Today's strip was almost as good.

Paul Gross Edition: Caught an amusing and surprisingly serious (and seriously Canadian) movie on the Dish last night -- Men With Brooms -- one of the few movies about curling out there, most likely. I saw it in the video store once, and though it had some actors I enjoy (Paul Gross, Molly Parker, and Leslie Nielsen), the box made it sound like a stupid comedy. As noted, it's a bit deeper than that, and those who remember Paul Gross (who co-wrote and directed as well) from Due South will be surprised at some of the edgy language and such. Might be something y'all will enjoy if you are looking for a small but enjoyable film.

"Relinquunt Omnia Servare Rem Publicam": More hearings in the 9/11 Commission and apparently John Ashcroft was his old snotty self (see, e.g., Balkinization), but I'm skipping over that today. The Latin epigraph translates as "They leave everything behind to serve the Republic," and is in honor of the hundreds of dead, many more wounded, and others in harms way. It is the subtitle of a Robert Lowell poem, For the Union Dead. I do not know of Lowell, but the epigraph seemed fitting given the times.
