I love Thanksgiving, I love getting together with family and friends and stuffing our faces, loosening our belts afterward, and nodding off while the Cowboys beat the heck out somebody, anybody. But as I sit here and think about the preparations for the upcoming Turkey Day I do come to the same conclusion, there are at least 5 Thanksgiving side dishes that have got to go.

Today I saw in an interview in Variety. Adam Aron, the new CEO of AMC Theaters says he's considering allowing people to text while the movie is playing. What? Really?

I guess my question is, should we? Seriously, I'm not very squeamish when it comes to scientific exploration and experimentation. Discoveries are made by madmen and women who just have a certain drive, a need-to-know attitude. Combine that with a good education and you have scientists who are willing to do almost anything to learn those burning questions of science.

Have you ever watched a film that actually took you a few minutes to recover from before you could start expressing any feelings about it? There have only been a few for me, "American Sniper," "Saving Private Ryan" and this one.

UPDATE: I wanted to give everyone an update on the efforts to end the twice a year clock changing ritual in the state of Texas. The idea is to end daylight savings time and stay on standard time year round.

Remember when ABC/ESPN/Monday Night Football let Hank Williams Jr. go after he expressed his political opinions in a totally different forum? Well shouldn't NBC/Sunday Night Football consider letting Bob Costas go for lecturing us on his political opinions about gun control actually during the game's halftime show?
