My Belated Birthday Gift.

I’ve come to find that if you don’t involve yourself in government as an individual, corporate America is happy to make the rules for you.

And I came to this conclusion after watching the documentary Street Fight, about my favorite politician of all time: Cory Booker.

Cory will become your favorite as well, and part of your gift to me. You see, it’s tradition that on my birthday, I ask that you watch 25 movies that I think are great but have been somewhat overlooked. That way good films will get more of the attention they deserve, and beget more good films. And I'll get cast in them and write happy blog entries about them and the circle of life will continue:
