Flush with victory, Uber-Cons are becoming Hectors.

Is it just me, or is anyone else seeing a looming battle within the Republicrat's multi-cultural ranks? And by multi-cultural, I don't mean race, sweetie. After all, "factions" sounds so...tawdry in a party that has acheived such a stunning victory recently. C'mon, you gotta admit that us Dems were indeed stunned, and it might as well have been with a half-brick-inna-sock.

No, wait, that's victory *by* stunning...

Anyway, I digress. There's a rather vocal section within the GOP; Yep, who else, the far-right "Christian" (sic) uber-conservatives. They scream about Mary Cheney appearing with her lover on the victory platform. Now they are hectoring Santorum to deny the Senate Judiciary Chair to Sen Spector because *gasp!* Spector is Pro-Choice, and might stall the appointment of a Pro-Life judge to the Supreme Court.

*rolls eyes*

Watch closely, friends and neighbors. How long do you think it will be before they are told politely but firmly to STFU by their elected officials because they don't like being ordered about? This should be good. Pass the popcorn, please?

The movie has little bearing on the book, I'm afraid.

I assumed as much :\

There was a great usericon floating around somewhere. Screencap from 'Troy', Agamemnon to Menelaus: "Don't worry, I can't die yet... I've read the book!"

Ha! I know I was quite surprised when he bit the dust in the movie. I was all "But what about Clytemnestra?"

One odd thing which struck me about the movie was all the funeral pyres made of large, perfectly cylindrical logs. Where the hell did they get them? There sure as heck weren't any trees in the panoramic shots of Troy. I guess they just chopped them all down upon arrival in anticipation of the funeral games.
