Depends on your customer base. Your courier is not only the face of your company, but, by extension, the face of your clients.

Jeffraham Prestonian
For eight years, the nation has been led by a guy who relaxes by clearing brush in scorching heat and taking breakneck bike rides through the woods.
He dishes out nicknames to world leaders, and even gave the German chancellor an impromptu, perhaps unwelcome, neck rub.
He's annoyed when kept waiting and sticks relentlessly to routine. He stays optimistic in even the most dire circumstances, but readily tears up in public.
He has little use for looking within himself, and only lately has done much looking back.

I take that as a "no," then.
Unfortunately for the wanna-be courier, that is probably the case. If you are hired to transport legal or medical documents, would your clients want someone who looks like an extra from The Road Warrior to deliver them? Probably not. It could cost you additional business. In a perfect world, it wouldn't matter, but the world is far from perfect.

Associated Press Writer= CONAKRY, Guinea (AP) In this African capital nearly 25 years ago, an unknown army officer staged a coup, promising democracy. He won over the people by declaring he had come to power poor, and if they ever saw him with a nice car or big house they would know he had stolen.
His name was Lansana Conte and at his funeral last week, his children arrived in a convoy of opulent SUVs. He was buried on the grounds of a house the size of a hotel built with public funds.
Hours after his death, another unknown army officer declared a coup. He too is promising democracy. He too vows not to steal from the people and to punish anyone who does.
In Guinea, history is stuck on replay. Since winning independence half a century ago, the nation has been pillaged by its ruling elite. Its people are among the world's poorest, even though its soil has diamonds, gold, iron and half the world's reserves of the raw material used to make aluminum. The question is whether this time will be any different.
The international community rushed to condemn the Dec. 23 coup. But people in Guinea have largely welcomed the coup leader, seeing in his age and junior rank he's a 44-year-old captain signs that he is not part of the corrupt elite that brought the nation to the brink of economic collapse. When his cortege drives through town, people greet him with cries of "Long live the president!" A top imam in the mostly Muslim nation declared that he had saved Guinea.
Westie, I think.

Obamas' green light to Israel for this ongoing massacre
Obama isn't in yet, many journalists were away on holiday vacations, and Israeli elections are coming up. Since the massacre Kadima ("Forward," the ultra-right wing party founded by Sharon because Likud was too weak) has been doing much better following national disgust at Olmert. This has everything to do with it.

Valkyrie was actually pretty good. At worst it "over-performed on the under-promise," that is, it wasn't nearly as bad as the hate hobbyists desperately wanted it to be. There are two problems though: every single person in the movie has a different accent. It's maddening. One wonders if these are not Star Trek extras unable to get out of Gene Roddenberry's idea of instant foreign-ness. The other thing is that the Stauffenberg plot is presented as German official mythology would have it, a silver lining of morality illuminating a sea of shame, wheras the Stauffenbergers were sort of right-wing non-Nazi German nationalists who wanted among other things to keep territory and escape unconditional surrender.

Sadly, I'm serious about the comic-book hero.
Since I can't find decent European films except on video at Blockbuster and Hollywood Video (ocassionally), I see no reason to spend my movie $$ on "serious" American films that are all the same story. (Can't ever find indies, either, except on video).
So I go for the FX, and the familiar stories I grew up with. Oh, and the beer and pizza.
Might as well make a night of it.

I've rented a few movies from iTunes, but they don't have much of a selection.

And can I tell you a Danny Thomas story? Ages ago, Danny was a struggling comedian in Chicago, and he was having a tough time supporting his wife (Rose Marie) and new baby girl (Marlo). So he went into a church on the North Side and prayed before the St. Jude statue there (St. Jude being the patron of impossible causes) to make him a successful comedian. Next thing you know, a downtown club called him, and before you know it he was on TV. And one thing led to another, and lo and behold, he was a great success. He didn't forget the good saint, but founded a hospital where sick children could be treated for no charge, and named it after the good saint. And he sent a donation to that church on the North Side every year for the rest of his life.
I think my city might have the last decent video store on the planet. Weird, that.

I use my local library. If they don't have it, I try the Ohio library loan system.

I'm supposed to root for the "good" Nazis v. the "bad" Nazis.
Of course, if they'd been successful, they'd have saved about 8 million lives. Approximately 8 million people were killed in the last twelve months of the European war. By that time, however, most of them were Germans.

I have nothing but admiration for the Medicis. Here in the Putrid Sound, I see their ambulances everywhere, ready to help, each one labeled "Medic I"
