Saw an excellent movie the other night. "Osama", the first movie made in Afghanistan since the fall of the Taliban. It's about a family of women who are starving to death because all the men in the family are dead and the Taliban bans women from working to earn a living. So they cut the hair off their youngest daughter and have her pose as a boy in order to work. Meanwhile, all the young boys in the village are rounded up to serve in Bin Laden's army - including her. It's an amazing film and very reminiscient of "Europa Europa", where a Jewish boy pretends to be German in order to escape the Holocaust and even serves in Hitler Youth.

Terrible, terrible pictures out of Iraq. First there's the prisoner abuse photos. Then there's the beheading of the American. It's as if the terrorists are saying "Oh you think you're sick? Watch what we can do."

Voting for the next Survivor million dollar winner has closed with the winner to be announced tonight. I voted for Rupert a few times. I tried to vote for myself but did not see my name on the ballot.
