Party Crashers: A Microcosm of America I wanted to let the news of the party crashers at Obama's first State Dinner sink in before I wrote about it.

Holiday has finally and officially started. Actually, it's not that holiday is THAT much exciting.

... are given a random weapon, an explosive neck collar, and a simple instruction… be the last one standing in 24 hours and you’re free to go home. What follows is a satirical societal microcosm, a Lord of the Flies with machine guns and crossbows, as some of the kids work to survive and others (like Kill Bill star Chiaki Kuriyama) begin systematically slaughtering everyone the can.

... in the Western Conference (which we obviously do), that's not a bright spot. Joe Thornton is a world-class player, but his decision making with a minute remaining against Phoenix stuck out as a microcosm of the Sharks current ailments.
