Clinton Chances? Very Very Dim.
Last week, an important Clinton adviser told Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen (also of Politico) that Clinton had no more than a 10 percent chance of getting the nomination. Now, she’s probably down to a 5 percent chance.

Polyphonic Sock Puppet Lithium
For the first time, I heard the Polyphonic Spree's cover of Nirvana's song Lithium. I was damn near beating my head against the steering wheel on my way to work this morning. What a travesty.
The only thing that makes me smile about this awful cover is the fan made video below.
The Proposition
I recently received The Proposition in the mail from my Netflix list. This Western was released in 2005 and I never got a change to see it in the theaters. I really wanted to when I found out that it was written by Nick Cave. Sadly, I missed it's run in the theaters.
I am a fan of the Western movie genre and this film was quite unique in the fact that it took place in Australia. I've never seen an Australian Western. This movie has a phenomenal cast including Guy Pearce, Ray Winstone, Emily Watson, Danny Huston, and John Hurt.
The film was gritty, bloody, and beautiful to watch. I enjoyed the story and all of the actor's performances. However, I felt it to be quite slow moving. The movie was under 2 hours long and I kept checking the clock. That was the only thing I had against the film. I am aware of the sense of dread, romanticism, and longing that the slow moving elements of the film contributed to. I still had a problem with that.
But besides that, the film was great and well worth my time. I would suggest anyone who likes a good Western or is simply a Nick Cave fan to give this movie a shot. It's definitely not your regular run of the mill Western movie.
If I had Stars, I'd give this movie 4 out of 5.
