• Moral Lessons from Captain America: The First Avenger



• Considering the sequelability of a stand alone Captain America film as well as repeat roles by the cast of Captain Planet in a follow up feature.



• Book review on Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close as well as a film preview



• Sandra Bullock's turn 47 this week (Born July 26, 1964)



• Food as an expression of individualism, potentially exploring ideas of isolation as well as the transition from choice/personal preference to conviction.



• The debt ceiling and whether or not it's appropriate to compare the American financial situation to individual household budgets.



• Response to the 30 Rock episode "The Bubble" (season 3) regarding attractive people.



• Further exploration on concepts of giving
