Sonic Overload 12/5/11

Back to the regular programming for this week and next and then it’s on to the holiday spectacular (?) and the best of 2011 to wrap up the year. I’ve been keeping away from the political coverage a bit lately, half paying attention to the Republican shenanigans, whether it’s on the campaign trail, in congress or in the media. But you can only take so much—so I’ve been watching movies. I finally saw “The Right Stuff” last week. Yeah, it’s probably a bit corny ‘n all but it actually has wit and some excellent performances. Beats watching Herman Cain, Mitt Romney, Michele Bachmann et al. I think it’s time to watch “Reservoir Dogs” some night this week. But don’t worry—if I do watch it, I promise not to play “Stuck In The Middle” by Stealers Wheel. Those of you who have seen the movie know the significance of that song!
