There are a handful of nifty Blu-Ray deals: Beetlejuice is $7.99 (70% off). Serenity is $8.49 (58% off) and also includes the DVD and digital copies. Blue Velvet is $10.99 (56% off). American Beauty is $9.99 (67% off). The complete FLCL is $20.99 (53% off). And the combo pack of The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions is $9.99 (50% off).
On regular DVD, the complete Transformers: Beast Wars is $27.49 (50% off).
In board games, the Gossip Girl Board Game is $8.99 (64% off), and Scene It: Twilight is $13.99 (53% off). I'm sure both are worth every penny.
Other cheap board games include Scene It: Seinfeld for $9.12 (77% off).
In video games, LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean (which I got as a Chanukah present, and really like) is $19.99 (50% off).
In the MP3 store, Amazon's got a deal on One Hit Wonder songs for $.69 each. Technically, some of these folks did have other hits (surely I'm not the only person to remember The Divinyls's "Pleasure and Pain" years before "I Touch Myself," and Men At Work had at least four top-ten hits in the US), but the theme's generally pretty sound. Songs go as far back as "Louie Louie" and as recent as "Breathe (2 AM)" (
Finally, the Kindle Deal of the Day is on three Dava Sobel science books, including Galileo's Daughter, Longitude, and A More Perfect Heaven, each down to $.99 or $1.99.

One question about Romney and Paul
Jan. 4th, 2012 01:44 pmHere's a quick thing to think about with Mitt Romney and Ron Paul: Since Reagan in '80, no one has won the White House after staging a losing primary campaign. Gary Hart's 1988 campaign never recovered from his own shot foot in '84. '88 loser Bob Dole won the party nomination in '96, but got stomped in the general election. On the opposite side of the aisle, '88 loser Al Gore did the same thing in 2000 (although in a much closer election). John Edwards followed his promising 2004 showing by imploding in '2008, the same year that 2000 also-ran John McCain failed to win the general election. And none of this even considers perennial candidates like Jesse Jackson, Jerry Brown, Alan Keyes, and Pat Buchanan.
So, is it possible to recover from losing a presidential bid in this day and age?
On another note, assuming Rick Perry continues to crash and burn, is he this year's version of Wesley Clark/Fred Thomson, the candidate everyone keeps egging on to enter to save them from a field of depressing candidates who then goes nowhere once he enters?
