All
Glory To The Hypnotoad©
 Yes,
yes. I know. Everybody loves the new Hypnotoad,
but I don't.
As you stare into his happy, friendly, throbbing,
pulsing, mesmerizing gaze you almost forget
that he's
the head of
an organization that has persecuted the non-hypnotized
for a thousand years while also systematically
denying advances in science.
Yes, it's certainly true that the Hypnopians only
rarely get caught engaging in inquisitions
these days, and they
accept
any
science that
can be easily spun
to fit Hypno-templates, but lets not forget
that the current Hypnotoad only attained his
lofty position after his predecessor was caught
cannibalizing his own
young and had to leave the galaxy stashed away
in the hold of a Peruvian solar-junk.
The new Hypnotoad has gone to great lengths
to mollify a nervous public, even going
so far as to suggest that intergalactic mega-corporations
should share their vast hordes of bio-credits
with all sentient life-forms instead of converting
them
into Slurm. He also hints that female Hypnotoads
may someday be allowed to equally delve into
the corrupted
recesses of our souls and bend our wills to
their dark desires, but I won't be
so easily stupefied. He is just a figurehead
doing whatever he's told and, given enough
time, would happily take us back to the moment
when no man dared not look back into the abyss
and say "Thank you, Father."

 Tiny
Movie Revue: Don't you hate those
movies where they take some dainty Hollywood
starlet
and try and make her a bad-ass action
hero?
Me, too,
which is why I really enjoyed watching "Haywire"
this
past
weekend.
It's
a
"small"
Steven
Soderbergh
film featuring MMA veteran Gina Carano in the
part of a double-crossed covert operative.
She brings a real heft to the part and when
she starts throwing punches, you feel it. It's
available on Netflix, so go watch.
(One last note: Ms. Carano has a Dallas connection
as her dad, Glenn Carano, played quarterback
for the Cowboys for seven years. You
never heard of him because he played backup
to both Roger
Staubach
and Danny White. Tough luck, but good teams.)
