Well, That Settles That

The all-important Penn endorsement is in the bag, and Kucinich is the big winner:
Academy Award-winning actor Sean Penn endorsed Dennis Kucinich for president in San Francisco Friday.
Penn made what had been billed as a “major political statement” at San Francisco State University.
The event was organized by the S.F. State College Democrats and was paid for by Kucinich for President 2008.
NBC’s Domenico Montanaro said a source close to the Hollywood star confirmed Penn would endorse Kucinich.
Call in the dogs and pee on the fire. It’s all over.
Or is it “pee on the dogs and call in the fire?” I can never remember.

Perhaps Sean could take Dennis for a boat ride.

Sean is backing a film based on Krakauer’s Into the Wild. It’s about a college age kis from a wealthy family who literally gives up all he has — other than what he was born with — and heads into the Alaskan wilderness in search of ‘authenticity’. He’s a stupid kid and makes mistakes from the very beginning; he seems to think that he can live off the land with no training or experience in a region a navy seal would find it difficult to survive a winter. He doesn’t even bother to have a plan for getting out if things don’t go well.
The kid records his every activity and his meditations in a journal while he slowly starves to death.
I think Penn identifies a lot with this character.
