The Soloist

220px-SoloistPoster

Tonight I finished watching The Soloist (2009,PG-13).  From ScreenIt!:

A newspaper reporter befriends and tries to help a homeless man whose life and innate musical talent are undermined by his schizophrenia.

I enjoyed it and Foxx and Downey's performances.  It's been criticized for being unfocused and uneven, but the story of someone suffering from schizophrenia would be.

I give it 4 out of 5.

Reagan on Unions and Collective Bargaining

For those who love Reagan and hate unions, this must be disturbing:

These are the values inspiring those brave workers in Poland. The values that have inspired other dissidents under communist domination.  They remind us that where free unions and collective bargaining are forbidden, freedom is lost.  They remind us that freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.  You and I must protect and preserve freedom here or it will not be passed on to our children.  Today the workers in Poland are showing a new generation not how high is the price of freedom, but how much it is worth that price.

I want more than anything I’ve ever wanted to have an administration that will, through its actions, at home and in the international arena, let millions of people know that Miss Liberty still “lifts her lamp beside the golden door.”
