My fellow nerds and I will retire to the nerdery with our calculators.
Harry Reid is awfully supportive...
The Dem Party has positioned itself so that failure in Iraq benefits their party and success is bad for them.
I'm not fan of the Republican party anymore but this group is just despicable.
Don't act like you support the troops. Don't call us kids or children. We volunteered. We made the choice. Don't patronize. When you stop doing that...maybe we'll think you truly support us.
Never liked the guy much to begin with but...is this a big deal about something small? It was a stupid thing to say. Apologize and move on.
His mistake was bowing at the altar of Al Sharpton(one of the most vile men in national politics in my generation) and Jesse Jackson.
I'm not a fan of Michelle Malkin because she's specializes in outrage over everything(not too different in that sense from Sharpton and Jackson) but this raises excellent points.
And Jason Whitlock also makes good points.
Think I'll take the same stance on this as I do "man made global warming." When the people who spout off most about it and claim to be most worried...when they start taking it seriously, I might, too.
On to a lighter topic...
Was thinking the other day about some of the funniest moments I've ever seen in a movie. Moments that if someone saw only that scene it would still be hilarious. A scene so funny that even if you watched it by yourself, you would have, or did, laugh out loud. A scene where you laughed so hard and so long, your abs ached.
Some personal favorites in no particular order:
-Ace Ventura (the first one): This movie is full of them but the scene at the beginning where Jim Carrey is playing the faux UPS guy and beating the crap out of the box he's delivering.
-Tommy Boy: This is also a movie chock full of hilarious scenes. The scene I think I laughed the hardest at was when the deer woke up in the back seat of the car, scaring Chris Farley and David Spade out of the car while it destroys it.
-Black Sheep(Not this scene but another good one from the movie): Not as good as Tommy Boy but that's a hard act to follow. The scene where Chris Farley falls down the hill and tumbles at a 45 degree angle about a mile had me in stitches.
-Anchorman: When Paul Rudd puts on the Sex Panther cologne and makes a run at Christina Applegate. It peaks when the random woman walks by and just as she's walking off the screen describes what it smells like.
-Dumb and Dumber: When Jeff Dnaiels winds up and drills Lauren Holly in the face with a snowball.
-High Fidelity: John Cusack is in his record store when Tim Robbins, Cusack's ex's current boyfriend, comes in and John Cusack goes through the different scenarios in his head of what he wants to do to Robbins...except he's gutless.
-Love Stinks: Not a popular movie but certainly has it's moments. The end after French Stewart stands Bridget Wilson up at the altar in Vegas. She's shot him in the butt. He's being carted into the ambulance while she's being arrested. He shouts "You've put me off women...I'm gay. And not just a little gay. Full on, Liberace gay. I like show tunes!...Back to hell, demon! Back to hell!
-South Park (Opening 10 minutes of the movie. Warning: profanity): I love this show way too much and my first exposure to it was the movie. I couldn't stop laughing at these little 3rd grade kids learning the wonders of swearing. And their mouths were fouler than mine in my teenage years. I suppose the best part is the end when Cartman realizes the V-chip in his brain(implanted to give him shocks whenever he swears) has malfunctioned and now when he swears he can shoot lightning. He mixes up great swear word combinations and mixes "Barbra Streisand" into the middle of one long curse phrase.
-Other favorites?
*UPDATE: Tara points out that it's a crime that nothing from UHF is on here. She's right...
-UHF The scene where Raul from Raul's Wild Kingdom is teaching poodles how to fly. Notice how many times Raul excitedly claps his hands one time? Click here for more UHF clips. Make sure you watch Wheel of Fish halfway down the page.
I know it's a general statement and someone who reads is married to one but, seriously. What happened? I'd make fun of them but, shoot, they aren't any worse than we are.
This is just beyond lame. Now, I don't mind Christians being made fun of or offended. Shoot, we give people plenty of material to make fun of. But why the desire not to offend Muslims? Why do they get this special "right?" (Hint: it's how many of them respond).
Don't tell me some artist is courageous because he made a nude, chocolate Jesus or stuck a crucifix in a jar of piss. That takes no guts at all. Any blowback those artists get is just publicity they capitalize on. Shoot, there are large segments of American society that lionize that.
I'm waiting to see an artist depict Muhammad out of chocolate. Or put the Koran in a bucket of piss and call it art. That would border on courage. We saw what happened to the filmmaker who made "Submission."
We've seen how European Muslims react to CARTOONS! of Muhammad.
