It's about a life that changes in a good way as a result of something most people (including me) would think of as a disaster. I saw it a few weeks ago and can safely say it changed the way I think in a deep way. Not many movies do that.

I got a voicemail yesterday from President George W Bush. It wasn't really a personal message. He'd like me to support his candidates. He didn't leave a number to call him back at. If he had, I would have thanked him for the call, and would have told him that I did not plan to vote for his great Republican candidates. I guess it's kind of rude to leave a voicemail without a number. Maybe he assumes I already have it. What do you think?
