FACTCHECK: Obama Campaign Fundraising Still Sluggish

…Obama’s draw, for all his supposed $1 billion campaign, is actually less than President Bush’s in his final election. Remember, back when Bush was supposedly unpopular because of the Iraq War? In the fourth quarter of 2003 the Bush campaign raised almost $48 million. Adjusted for inflation that’s $59 million, a whopping $17 million more than Obama.

Don’t believe the lying media. Obama isn’t inevitable and he’s not a magic money machine.

Another Edition of Dungeons and Dragons is in the works

Here is the executive summary.  The 4th Edition rules were a bad business decision and resulted in decrease in market share.

This new edition is supposed to be a return to their “roots” in a effort to win back their core fan base.

HT to Mr. Reynolds, and oh BTW, there have been several Traveller movies.  Namely Serenity and Dark Star.

Marc Miller and Loren Wiseman never made a dime off those however.

Friday B-Movie Pick: Blade

Blade

Wesley Snipes plays ‘the Day Walker’, a sorta half Vampire who can withstand daylight, and really, really hates Vampires. They killed his mother you see. Fun flick, got Kung Fu, sword fu, machine pisol fu, and for extra added bonus B-Movie credit, Traci Lords!
