I'd have given Al Pacino a shout out for his portrayal of Lieutenant Colonel Frank Slade in Scent of a Woman. I introduced this movie to some of my employees, many of whom were only 7 or 8 when the movie came out - and now I'm getting sick of hearing quotes from it.

Oh, thank God! I've got an English degree as well, and it's nice to know I only have 13 more years of this "drunk, shirtless and weeping" crap. As it is, I'm gonna turn back to my polar bear burger, and wait for the next revelation from the 'revolution'.

I was shocked that he would be so...bold(?), as to attack any portion of the government in his SOTU. It not only smacks of amateurism, it strikes my ear as childish. I'm further incensed by the continued media bias in reporting these actions. It would only take a few of these journalists to call the President on his antics to put him back in line - their continued ignorance of this, and punishment of the wronged is slowly tipping their hands, that they don't care to report the truth - and would instead prefer to stoke unnecessary fires.

I hated Gravity's Rainbow as well.

Oh. Snap.

I think it was Will Rogers who figured it out: Prohibit any government from starting a new war, until they have paid for the last one.

If I had a dollar for every time someone told me to 'Shut up and be awesome.', I'd be able to afford a castle for myself.

It bothers me more that as they begin funding these projects, there are dozens of small theater houses going under from a lack of funding. I won't argue the value of Thundercrack vs. Waiting for Godot - there isn't an argument that will please everyone, so it would be a waste of time - but, it is a shame that the one is getting $50,000 and the other is shuttering its windows.

I won't lie. I laughed. This made me laugh. Am I a bad person?

David, I intended to read this post all the way through, as I do whenever your pieces come up on the headlines. But, you had to put in pictures. I can't focus on the words. . .scrolling back up. Talk to you later.
