Said Damon to the Associated Press: “It’s like a really bad Disney movie.”

“I know she was a mayor of a really, really small town,” he said.

Damon offered up his assessment, which - to say the least - wasn’t too optimistic about the Republican Veep nominee. He also wanted to query as to whether or not Palin believed “dinosaurs were here 4000 years ago, because she has the nuclear codes.”

The 2008 Democratic National Convention is in full swing. Last night Michelle Obama gave a riveting speech to the throngs of faithful dems in the crowd. Tonight, Dennis Kucinich set the crowd on fire with his admonition to “wake up America.”

As we await the results of the coming speeches in Denver convention, I thought I’d attach a video excerpt of Dennis Kucinich’s speech on Tuesday. To be fair, Kucinich gave one of the best political speeches I have ever heard.

An ancient Maya network of sacrificial temples in underground caves was recently discovered in Mexico’s Yucatan State.

The construction was presumably a portal for dead souls to pass into the underworld. According to National Geographic News, one cave featured a “300-foot (90-meter) concrete road that ends at a column standing in front of a body of water.”

The Maya believed that “the souls of the dead had to follow a dog with night vision on a horrific and watery path and endure myriad challenges before they could rest in the afterlife,” leading experts to speculate whether the underground world inspired the Maya mythology, or it was - in fact - Maya mythology that created these underground spaces.
