The weird part is, I've heard so many people complain about Shia LeBeouf in this movie, but for me, the movie improved markedly when he came on. ...That being a marked improvement from "I think I will turn this off in five minutes" to "Not good, but I can keep watching."  But still... His part is no better conceived or written than the rest of this movie, but he's the only lead so far with any vibrancy to him at all. Ford and Blanchett have all of the energy you'd expect if this was a one-off short shot to accompany a ride at Universal Studios.

Well, the confusion is understandable, them being contemporaneous and all.

This article boasting of the new administrations exemplary vetting process for its Washington staff (actually, it merely sounds intrusive) got me laughing with this marvelous bit:

But Mr. Obama has elevated the vetting even beyond what might have been expected, especially when it comes to applicants’ family members, in a reflection of his campaign rhetoric against lobbying and the back-scratching, self-serving ways of Washington.

“President-elect Obama made a commitment to change the way Washington does business, and the vetting process exemplifies that,” said Stephanie Cutter, chief spokeswoman for the Obama transition office.

Jobs with the mortgage-finance giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have served as lucrative incubators for Democratic and Republican administration officials. But those affiliations have become potentially toxic since the government seized both companies after years of financial irregularities that have stoked the economic crisis.

Not surprisingly, then, Question 18 of the Obama application asks whether “you, your spouse or any member of your immediate family” have been affiliated with Fannie, Freddie, American International Group, Washington Mutual and any other institution getting a government bailout.


Those answering "Yes" get to become Obama's Chief of Staff or Chief Economic Advisor.
