I don’t like John McCain. I used to like him. I used to respect the hell out of him. But now I don’t like him and I don’t respect him.
I respect his military record. I respect his genuine support for those who serve and have served in the military. For example, while Bush & Co [...]

Hellboy II: Please Kill Me Now
Posted in Rants, movies, tagged movies, Rants, Hellboy, Hellboy II on July 19, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Amy and I went to see Hellboy II last Sunday. We didn’t leave happy.
Wow, did it suck. On so many levels.
If you never saw the first movie but like goofy beat-em-ups, you might enjoy this one. Indeed, with the continuity issues, this probably should have been the first movie.
If you liked the first movie or [...]

Jesse Helms is dead.
FINALLY!!!!
He died in Raleigh, NC, at 1:15 am EST of natural causes, said former chief of staff Jimmy Broughton. “He was very comfortable,” Broughton said.
This is proof that there is no God. If a kind, loving God looked out over the world and saw Jesse Helms, He would have struck him down [...]

Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down District Of Columbia V. Heller, one of the last decisions of their current term before wrapping up business, sending their robes out for dry-cleaning, forwarding the office phones to voicemail, and sneaking out of town. Truly, a shameful decision from a shameful court.
I, for one, am sick [...]

Wright & Wrong; or The Mendacity Of Hope

Once again, the right Reverend Jeremiah Wright is in the news. On Monday, he addressed the National Press Club over breakfast. The National Press Club (in my recollection) usually gives thirty minutes to a speaker, followed by about twenty minutes of answering questions (submitted on index cards) from the press, which are read by the [...]
Ben Stein’s Monkey

With the release of “Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed”, it’s official: Ben Stein is a dickhead.
I have not seen this movie and have no intention of seeing it. I’ve read a number of reviews and descriptions and so I feel reasonably certain that I have a sufficient understanding of the matter to make [...]
A Fine Day For Fast Women

Well, Danica Patrick has finally scored a big win, taking first place in the Japan Indy 500. Or whatever it’s called. I know it involves expensive cars and going around in circles, but that also describes Hollywood. In any case, the esteemed Ms. Patrick is known far and wide as a hottie as well as [...]

cold dead fingers

As Jens noted, now is the time for a video of someone prying Charlton Heston’s gun from his cold, dead fingers. Sadly, I do not have that video. Here is my feeble attempt to see justice served.
Charleton Heston Is Dead
Posted in Rants, tagged rant on April 6, 2008 | 2 Comments »
. . . and I feel fine. After an iconic acting career, Heston became an iconic activist for all sorts of right-wing causes. Want to arm children with automatic weapons loaded with teflon-coated cop-killer bullets? Call Charleton Heston! Think that disagreeing with a Republican president is traitorous and unpatriotic? Heston’s the man to agree with [...]
