I Can’t Handle the Truth

Last night, Mr. Shakes and I watched A Few Good Men, a movie which, when viewed through the prism of what’s currently going on at Gitmo, makes you pause to consider just how much sympathy you want to have for soldiers “just following orders,” and I swear Tom Cruise has ruined all of his movies for me by acting like a complete numbnuts. All I could do was picture him wrestling with Oprah and jumping on her couch like a monkey on crack.
