The Man Who Made 80's Movies Fun

John Hughes passed away today. When I was in college and just after, Hughes' movies were guaranteed to deliver a good laugh and are pretty much guaranteed to be caught on TV for a long time to come. One my all time favorites is Uncle Buck. Thanks for some great memories from the '80's Mr. Hughes, you will be missed.

Uncle Buck

Well sure

Well now we know how the Federal government makes their accounting work.

A Picture of the Happy Couple & Their Relatives on Their Wedding Day...

Lil' Kim and Bill pose for a portrait after consummating their new relationship.

I need to use my command authority and add to Mr. Buford's commentary on this. Now I am happy that the two dipshits who thought it would be a grand idea to go visit North Korea to do journalistic work are now on thier way home but I just have to ask....

Where the hell is Hillary?

Last time I checked wasn't she the Sec of State? If not her wasn't there someone in Foggy Bottom that could go that she had to send her husband to grovel before the midgit dictator? Was Jesse Jackson not available? Does anyone else find this absolutely odd? In addition to odd it scares the crap out of me because the last time Clinton made a deal with North Korea, they responded by detonating a nuclear bomb a few years later.

3 years and 5 more months of this.

I will show you where the Iron Crosses Grow

Germany has resurrected the Iron Cross, now known as the Cross of Honor. Yeah, I know, not as catchy, and certainly nowhere near as striking in that Teutonic, hard-edged, militaristic way the original was; but then again, that pretty much sums up the Bundeswehr - not your grandfather's Wehrmacht...

What He Said

As a follow-up to Hoosier Daddy's Rant (I hope I'm one of the 100 he keeps around!) I present my view of how best to deal with THOSE PEOPLE he spoke of, via two classic scenes from Babylon 5.

Sound Advice

I don't give a shit what anyone says but I still watch Wall Street every once in a while to remind me that some people are just asses. I remember on great line from Gordon Gekko (no not that stupid greed speech) and that's where he talks about WASPS. They love animals but they hate people.

I can relate.

Well not all people. I can carve out maybe 100 I would spare in my personal universe that aren't complete assholes. I guess I just don't understand how some people aren't complete unless they are somehow causing grief for someone else. I'm talking office gossip, office politics, or when someone has a bug up thier ass so by God and sonny Jesus everyone else is going to feel thier wrath too. Or how someone lack of planning suddenly becomes my crisis and my fault because oh gee, I didn't drop everything right now to pitch in. 'Gee it's nice of you to take the day off when we have this project due tomorrow'. Well, allow me to retort. 'Gee, my part of it was done a fucking month ago when it was assigned two months ago and you started working on it last week'.

I'm just getting sick of people who live in thier own personal private universe and the rest of us are either servants or obstacles. If I am ever elected dictator I am going to pass a law that allows every decent tax paying citizen one free bitch slapping each month until the attitude of society improves.

Lance Still Second

Well it's Stage 8 and Lance is comfortably 8 seconds down in the General Classification. Last stage saw Contador take off on his own not making his team happy and not winning the stage. I've been talking to some folks who think Lance is doing well but still think he's going to crack.

Never count out a guy who beats cancer. The above video shows he is not your ordinary cyclist.
