Star Trek
I am impressed. To work, this movie needed decent writing, spot on casting, outstanding acting and finesse in assembling it all, and they had it. Simon Pegg as Scotty was a master stroke.

Gitmo
For pity's sake. Seriously?
Congress denied the funding to close Gitmo.
Okay, I don't have much time for anything but sleep these days, so pardon the lack of finesse: the threat posed by those in Gitmo is now and always has been overstated. We are all surrounded, all the time, by much more dangerous criminals, safely contained in the same prisons we could put these guys in. Gitmo itself is a continuing blemish on our reputation as a just and democratic nation, and makes it harder to fight this war. It should be closed immediately.
