Get Smart! Get A Ticket
I am not one for movie reviews, but after seeing Get Smart tonight, here I go.
Off the charts funny. The original creators had their hand in this movie and it showed; Buck Henry and Mel Brooks. It was true to the original t.v. show, which is still an all time classic. From the Cone of Silence to "Missed it by that much." Agent 99, 13 and Jaime.
It was fun, had comic, slapstick violence, and just a few off color words, which added nothing to the movie. And yes, there will be a second one made. There is a scene with the Chief and the head of the CIA at a DHS meeting that is funny.
In my humble opinion....best movie I have watched in years. But then again, It is only about the third one I have seen in as many years.

Our Country...Our Laws
Mexico has gone to the world court in an attempt to block executions of their citizens who have been found guilty and sentenced to death in America's courts.
Tough, these people willing broke our laws from the time they crossed the border. Innocent people are dead and this is American turf. If you don't want "your" citizens punished, how about keeping them on your side of the fence? Sorry, but you don't get to pick and choose how our laws work.
Also, don't forget El Jorge Bush backed Mexico and the world court. Tells you a lot about his priorites.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Mexico made an emergency appeal to the U.N.'s highest court today to block the execution of its citizens on death row in the U.S.
Mexico's chief advocate Juan Manuel Gomez-Robledo said the U.S. was "in breach of its international obligations" by disregarding a 2004 judgment by the U.N.'s International Court of Justice, which ruled that Mexicans had been denied the right to help from their consulate after being arrested.
Gomez-Robledo said that without urgent action now, five Mexican citizens "will be executed before the conclusion of these proceedings."
The issue went to the Supreme Court, which ruled last March in a 6-3 vote that Bush lacked the authority to compel state courts to comply with the judgment from The Hague. The Vienna Convention cannot be binding on the states unless Congress enacts legislation enforcing it as federal law, the Supreme Court ruled.
Mexico argues that international law applies not only to the U.S. but also to individual states.
"The United States cannot invoke municipal law as justification for failure to perform its international legal obligations," it said in its application to the court two weeks ago.
