The Devil Made A Funny

The remake of The Omen opened yesterday and earned:$12,633,666. They totally made that up, right? Source: Box Office Mojo

From Another Blog - But Still Interesting

Well, score a victory for small-minded bureaucracy and a huge loss for common sense and decency. Veterans Affairs has decided that James Roberson is not worthy of being buried in the local VA cemetery. In an act of mercy, Mr. Roberson shot his elderly, incapacitated wife rather than see her go to a nursing home after his impending death. I guess his distinguished military service was not enough.

So Weird.

William Shatner + Elton John's Rocket Man = William Shatner doing his interpretation of Rocket Man. The most unintentional comedy in the history of ever. YouTube video.

Happy 25th To Anna Kournikova

On TV Last Night . . .

. . . I heard: "We're here tonight cause we got immigration problems spiralling out ofcontrol . . . . Mexicans flocking into this place like some giant %$#& pinata was shattered . . . It's tragic. On the Statue of Liberty it says 'Give me your tired, your hungry, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free.' It does not say give me your shiftless, your greedy, your indolent, your criminals, looking for a free ticket. We're here tonight to show the government how we feel about minorities taking over our country.The treat us like criminals while they reward them with jobs and *&^% welfare checks. And it's only getting worse." CNN? Fox News? Nope. It was uttered in the movie American History X by the skin head played by Ed Norton.

Random Thought

An "ozone action day" simply means there will be little wind. I hate it when mayors of say, Miami and Dallas, make a "bet" in connection with a sporting event. I started watching Gone With the Wind for the first time last night. I had no idea the term "white trash" was used back then. And, from what I can tell, I really like Scarlett.

Crazy People

I am of the firm belief that there are very, very many people like this guy. (3:24 video clip from YouTube.com).

Baseball Draft

The number three person taken today in the MLB draft was Evan Longoria. I'll stop there.

Cowboy Nugget

Bill Parcells (who I wish failure upon because of his arrogance) took over after the 2002 season. Of the 22 starters that season , only three players remain: Flozell Adams, Roy Williams and Greg Ellis (who is barely hanging on).

Kasey Kiker . . .

. . . is an 18 year old kid from Alabama who has just become the Texas Rangers #1 pick in the MLB draft. Interestingly, one of his buddies has this myspace.com graduation farewell to him: "Kasey Kiker / DAMN LOOPER J/K J/K YOU KNOW I DO THAT TO MAKE YOU ANGRY LOL. DUDE YOUR THE QB OF THE BASEBALL TEAM..

Maverick Tickets

You can get tickets through StubHub.com (I've used it in the past). For Game 1, your choices are here. My couch is looking good.

It Has To Be The Most Dangerous City In The World - Since We Arrived

"1,400 Iraqi civilians died in a wave of targeted killings in Baghdad last month." (Story)

4/20 Silliness

I didn't know that possessing a "small amount" of marijuana in Alaska had been legal due to a 30 year old Alaska Supreme Court decision holding that the right of privacy trumps the government's need to outlaw pot. I also didn't know that a new law has been passed in Alaska re-criminalizing pot possession of any amount. (How a new law can overrule a court decision based upon constitutional grounds is beyond me, but I leave that alone). And why Alaska is going back in time is beyond me as well. In Texas: Under 2 oz. is a Class B misdemeanor (up to 180 days in jail) 2 to 4 oz. is a Class A misdemeanor (up to one year in jail) 4 oz. to 5 lbs. is a State Jail Felony (up to two years in a "state jail")

The Devil Child Is Born . . .

. . . just kidding. Cute baby.

Ann Coulter - Rant Part 2

Ann Coulter's new book (released today) has this passage on some widows of 9-11: "These self-obsessed women seem genuinely unaware that 9-11 was an attack on our nation and acted like as if the terrorist attack only happened to them. They believe the entire country was required to marinate in their exquisite personal agony. Apparently, denouncing bush was part of the closure process. These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by griefparrazies. I have never seen people enjoying their husband’s death so much." She is slowly catching Nancy Grace on my all-time-most-hated female list.

Ann Coulter . . .

. . . was on the Today show this morning promoting her new book "Godless: The Church of Liberalism". Something was wrong with her. She seemed distracted and would pause for several seconds before answering a question. And what was up with the slinky black dress?

Happy 6-6-06

I think I'll take Damien to Hurricane Harbor or something. (And the interest rate for a 30 year mortgage is very disturbing. )
