I Have a Bad Feeling About This- Disney buys Lucasfilm

Disney has bought Lucasfilm for $4.05 (£2.5) billion and have announced Star Wars  Episode VII in 2015 followed by a film every two to three years forever

The Star Wars saga is one of the greatest masterpieces of American cinema but outside of the movies, has been tarnished by the Expanded Universe; examples include:

***Spoilers***

1. Luke Skywalker getting married to a Jedi Assasin named Mara Jade while Han and Leia marry and have children; the fact we had a young Anakin Skywalker and a young Luke makes it depressing the characters age. One of the kids also becomes a Sith and those kids have kids too (GREAT-Grandparents Anakin and Padmé?)

2. Palpatine survives and has many clones (making Vader's death pointless-the lightsabre fight in Episode VI was too short anyway and made Vader look weak, especially after he was kicked down the stairs).

3. Another war takes place against aliens who are undetectable by the force.

4. Luke's Jedi powers mean he can move entire planets and create black holes (kind of lame and an insult to the original where by luck he could destroy the Death Star. Palpatine has these powers too.

5. Darth Maul returns THREE TIMES: he comes back in the Clone Wars TV series, fights Darth Vader after Episode III and fights Luke as a hologram

6. Boba Fett blasts his way out of the Sarlaac, gets married and has a daughter and grand daughter (really?). He becomes friends with Han too (really?!) >.>

7. Chewie gets crushed to death by a planet trying to evacuate everyone else.

8. General Grievous' body is reused several times between Episodes II and III.

9. Somehow Asajj Ventress survives the ass kickings she has against Anakin and Obi Wan but manages to get the better of Jedi Masters in combat.

10. Darth Maul's brother Savage can beat Jedi Masters in combat but is no match for Ventress or Dooku.

Making any post Return of the Jedi story into a movie is like putting gasoline on a fire or throwing mud on already tarnished gold. That and the fact that Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford are too old and not interested doesn't help.

Romney's Binders Cost Him Presidential Debate

After a debate on the state of the economy under President Obama, as well as the administration's foreign policy, Mitt Romney and the President seemed to have both stalemated one another after Mitt's debate victory on October 4th. However, Romney makes a second blunder that was almost as bad as the quote on 47% of Americans being,

'dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe that government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it. '

or his viewpoint of

'Palestinians not wanting to see peace anyway, for political purposes, committed to the destruction and elimination of Israel'

This time,  Romney says,

'I went to a number of women's groups and said, "Can you help us find folks," and they brought us whole binders full of women...I was proud of the fact that after I staffed my Cabinet and my senior staff, that the University of New York in Albany did a survey of all 50 states, and concluded that mine had more women in senior leadership positions than any other state in America'

Within hours this quote made internet memes and as of writing, has over 316,000  'fans' on facebook.

Here are the memes

So far polls show Romney leading at 46-50% with Obama at 46-48%; different estimations come from different companies. So far electoral votes are at 237 for Obama to 191 for Romney. The offical votes do not start until November 6 so polls or electoral votes so far are only performance indicators.
