We were talking about today being Chuck Norris 70th birthday (how is this not a thread by the way?) when my boss chimed in with.
“Really? I had no idea he was such an old goat. He’d asked me out when I was in Vegas about 25 years ago.”
Okay. How does someone get asked out by Chuck “Fist of Steel” Norris and never mention it? How is this possible? Shouldn’t she be wearing a shirt that says “I was asked out by Chuck Norris”? Regardless she said no because she doesn’t like facial hair or karate, but she did get an autographed picture out of it. Not kidding.
Floyd has written a filter that evaluates the quality of each comment. If the logic and/or grammar are judged at or below Huffington Post level they get quarantined.
Thank you for your constructive remark, Rufus. If Mike had said that, I’d have been mortally wounded. But since it came from your desk, I’ll take it under advisement to start writing comments that are more in line with Saul Alinsky’s.
Now you guys understand why financial, economic and accounting types make so much money. None of you want to have to think about this stuff so you overpay in order to avoid it!
OK my blue ray player is sort of playing the new blue ray I bought of Braveheart. Now its starting and stopping. It loaded it fine, and all and it seemed for a second that all of the issues from last night were done…ohhhh no……..gonna give this piece of crap one more chance and then I am going to shut it down permenantly and wait till hubs comes home to get a new one. This is bulls!
I know he went off completely but unless you have dictionary.com up you might be at a loss (Rich being the possible exception). This I’m assuming would be one of those nerve grating intellectual elitist who use big words for the sake of using big words.
Buckley had the best knowledge of vocabulary and ability to utilize it of anyone I have ever heard speak. He always used the most specific word to state whatever it was he was stating. Brilliant!
There was a master of the English language who didn’t feel the need to get into a lengthy word pissing contest with other intellectual pointy heads. No offense to our many intellectul pointy heads.
I’m having spelling issues or perhaps typing issues today. We need an edit function desperately or to be more in line with how I’ve been typing today dsepratelly.
I heard of them today for the first time, actually. I went to the link you posted and got a kick out of the charter school stuff. If you want to see flame’s shoot out of the face of an Ohio Democrat, mention charter schools.
I think her name is Selena Royle, a B-movie actress. This shot is from the movie “Robot Monster” from the 50′s. I think it’s considered one of the worst science fiction movies ever. I used the film still in my banner for my craft blog – http://attackofthecraft.blogspot.com/
“During the early Depression, Selena Royle and Elizabeth Beatty started the Actors Free Dinner Club in Union Church on West 48th Street. It was organized so that those who came to volunteer and those who came out of necessity were indistinguishable from each other.”
Pretty cool, even if Ms. Royle refused to deny that she was a CARD CARRYING MEMBER OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY and ducked out of the McCarthy hearings.
I read a great biography on Jim Valvano about 20 years ago. What a great, character! Every time Dick Vitale cashes his paycheck he remembers how lucky he is Valvano was taken at such a young age.
Did you know he had an interest in Bigfoot? His last appearance in a movie is a documentary “Sasquatch Odyssey: The Hunt for Bigfoot”. I had it in my Netflix queue but gave up on seeing it because it was in such demand.
See that is the sort of quirky behavior that would be great in a biography he was a fascinating guy. Great actor, turned war hero (in defiance of the studio might I add), turned greater actor, humanitarian, and best friend to the President of the United States. Seriously, how can there be no definitive biography for him? Perhaps it’s our societies fear of great men and real heroes. We tend to only like people we can bring down to our level.
There are a lot of comments on here so I think this may get lost in the swamp. Then again, maybe you just don’t care but I want to go back to an older subject about Captain America in the comics and how Marvel portrayed him fighting against the Tea Party (and the racial implications of the movement suggested by a black character). I think following this stuff is important, knowing the zeitgeist and knowing how conservatives are perceived in popular culture. Things are not good.
First though, a half apology from Joe Quesada, editor and chief of Marvel:
About halfway down he talks about it being an accident. Though I tend not to believe him, as even liberals don’t as noted by comic fan, liberal and writer for the Washington Independent notes (pardon the link name, this guy is a leftist):
“Will you forgive me for being dubious? I haven’t read the issue, but I’ve read Ed Brubaker’s run as Captain America writer and this strikes me as entirely commensurate with the stories Brubaker tells portraying Cap as a redeeming figure for an increasingly hysterical country. (And his ‘death’ as jostling America’s moral gyroscope.) Captain America would tell the teabaggers that they ought to consider that freedom is something rather more than the top marginal tax rate. Marvel is a huge corporate entity, so I get that it can’t be so overtly political, but c’mon — one of the villains of Siege’s accompanying Embedded book is based on Glenn Beck. Norman Osborn demands that the enemies of the Dark Avengers be taken alive ‘for enhanced interrogation.’”
Ignoring this guy’s idiocy a moment… yup. The Marvel Universe Glenn Beck analogue, Todd Keller, is cahoots with Norman Osborn (aka the Green Goblin) and other well known super-villains such as Dr. Doom. So I went to look up the Siege Embedded comic (as in Mr. Keller as a journalist embedded with the military).
I even found a comic frame on another blog, so you can judge for yourself (this blogger, being a Marvel comic fan, is also a leftist). As if you didn’t already know this, the Left is engaged in a DEFCON 1 level, multi-front culture war.
Glad to see that Quesada regrets the Tea Party mention in the comic. But I don’t buy his excuse that it accidentally went to print due to an “editing error”, not for a second.
This is Marvel we’re talking about. They used the Civil War plotline to have Captain America turn his back on America in protest against a Patriot Act-style legislation that made superheroes register themselves, and ultimately be murdered for it.
In other words, Marvel’s message was that George Bush killed Captain America. Real subtle, guys. Almost as subtle as having Spider-Man team up with Obama. Now will you please keep your grubby little politics off our superheroes?
For those of you under the age of 35, or so, you probably don’t remember what things were like when Reagan was President. But you need to understand this. What Mighty Skip writes about comics. What JohnFN writes about Sarah Palin. Sucker punches in movies. This is nothing new. This is how the left reacted when Reagan, a Conservative, was in the White House. It was Bush Derangement Syndrome everywhere in the culture, 24/7. A silly example, but one of the most popular shows was “Family Ties.” Michael J. Fox played a son who was conservative and a Reagan fan. His character was played for laughs. He was the Urkel of the ’80′s. A complete misfit. A pariah.
I was in College during Reagan’s Presidency and every week the student newspaper featured panicked editorials from folks who were sure “that fool Reagan” was going to “get us into World War III.” The monkey related jokes they used with Bush II were even the same; “Bonzo.” Remember that scene in “Back to the Future” when Marty tells Doc Reagan is President? Sucker punches everywhere.
This is no reason to lay down, or not fight, but don’t ever forget the impact this stuff had on Bush II and Reagan and Gingrich. Any Conservative who tries to move the ball forward on any front; Social Security, Education, Health Care, Immigration… will be met with a cacophony of opposition from all forms of media. Reagan was one of the best communicators we’ve ever had in the White House. He was able to cut through the noise and get through to the American people. Gingrich could not. Bush II could not. Ford could not. Nixon could not. Bush I didn’t even try.
This is one reason why I’m cynical of any Conservative plans. Without exceptional leadership we have no hope of any plans being enacted, no matter how wonderful they are. There are thousands waiting to noisily oppose anything Conservative or traditional.
I agree with everything, Rufus, except for the “Back to the Future” reference. Back to the Future was written by a hardcore conservative, Bob Gale, who now writes columns for Big Hollywood.
The joke in the movie was not meant as a knock against Reagan, but simply a comment on the fact that in the ’50s he was just a popular actor, and no one at that time could imagine him becoming President. Imagine if someone came back from the future and told you that Brad Pitt was going to be President 30 years from now, you’d react the same way.
No argument, Rufus, but the 80s also were a golden age for the likes of Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Chuck Norris, and even as cheesy as they’d devolved, Bronson’s Death Wishes; i.e., movies that celebrated the USA (and the individual) for our greatness.
Roger Ebert just put up his review of The Green Zone. He gave it four stars. (Shocking, I know). I couldn’t bring myself to finish reading the review, but suffice it to say that his first paragraph refers to the soldiers fighting in Iraq as “not heroes, but dupes,” and also contains the word “neoconservatives.”
You can read the whole thing at http://www.rogerebert.com, if you’ve got a stronger gag reflex than me.
My uncle died today. He was my safe spot in the world. He taught me about Jesus, prayed over me at my wedding, told me again and again that I was a person worthy of love. He embraced even my children who had died, and shared his little one gone on with me. He used to take us everywhere with him, work, play, church, any where that didn’t welcome “his” kids didn’t welcome him. He sang all the old hymns in a great joyful voice, read only the King James, and was incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about his faith. All of my important traditions come from him, and for a long time, all my self worth. There isn’t really a hole left with him gone, even in death there’s so much of him left in me and my life, he can’t be really gone. But I’m gonna miss his rib cracking, lift-me-off-the-floor hugs. I’m gonna miss seeing his eyes light up when I walked in a room. I’m gonna miss him calling me Trace and asking me to pray with him. Pray for his wife and girls, they’re going to miss him even more than me. He lived so as to make us all relatively sure of where he was going in the after life, but unfortunately, those are the same things that will make us miss him all the more.
No one’s going to see this but I just had to come in and vent. Dana Carvey was being brilliant on The Tonight Show…then he lost me with the “Obama is too smart to be Pres” bullshit.
Let’s see that mfer’s college transcripts/law review articles/employer evals from his college prof days. “Sounding smart”/”Being smart” == two different things.
What angers me more than Carvey — who, of course, is only doing His Master’s Bidding — is the shocked attitude of some in the press who are “just now” discovering some of BO’s lack o’ credentials. Where were you obsequious turds when this guy was running for the office??
I wager this is the first time in the history of the English language when the words “obsequious” and “turds” have been placed side by side. If I have my way it will not be the last.

Ah, Joe Namath. One of my favorite basketball players.
Eric Massa and Glenn Beck…..two loons for the ages
Just saw a clip of Patrick Kennedy bloviating before an empty House…looked and sounded just like Chris Farley’s old SNL character Matt Foley!
“Livin’ in a van,down by the Potomac River…”
Those Kennedys seem to love vehicles near bodies of water. I’m just sayin’.
We were talking about today being Chuck Norris 70th birthday (how is this not a thread by the way?) when my boss chimed in with.
“Really? I had no idea he was such an old goat. He’d asked me out when I was in Vegas about 25 years ago.”
Okay. How does someone get asked out by Chuck “Fist of Steel” Norris and never mention it? How is this possible? Shouldn’t she be wearing a shirt that says “I was asked out by Chuck Norris”? Regardless she said no because she doesn’t like facial hair or karate, but she did get an autographed picture out of it. Not kidding.
I would have been wearing that t-shirt. Kind of like when I met Butler I didn’t wash my hand or shoulder for a week. True story..
Why am I awaiting moderation? What diabolical mastermind is behind this? Rufus I’m looking your direction.
Veruckt, welcome to the “awaiting moderation” club. I was beginning to believe that Tracy and I were the lone outcasts.
Floyd has written a filter that evaluates the quality of each comment. If the logic and/or grammar are judged at or below Huffington Post level they get quarantined.
I’ll try to improve.
I’m confused…does this mean I should start ripping Sarah Palin?
Thank you for your constructive remark, Rufus. If Mike had said that, I’d have been mortally wounded. But since it came from your desk, I’ll take it under advisement to start writing comments that are more in line with Saul Alinsky’s.
Now you guys understand why financial, economic and accounting types make so much money. None of you want to have to think about this stuff so you overpay in order to avoid it!
OK my blue ray player is sort of playing the new blue ray I bought of Braveheart. Now its starting and stopping. It loaded it fine, and all and it seemed for a second that all of the issues from last night were done…ohhhh no……..gonna give this piece of crap one more chance and then I am going to shut it down permenantly and wait till hubs comes home to get a new one. This is bulls!
“Freeeeeedommmmmm!”
I think you mean, “Free– ee– bzzz-garble-zzkt– eed– bzzzz- om!!!” OK, never mind. That sounded funnier in my head.
Pretty much the story of your life EP!
(SNAP!!!!)
Although true, I was hoping one of you would take the softball I lobbed. Please don’t forget the “Crackle” and/or “Pop” next time, though.
Speaking of Rice Krispy treats…..
I am beyond disgusted. The thing won’t play any blue rays but it will play DVDS? WTF?!
Maybe it sensed you leave the superfluous “e” in “blu-ray player.” That’s as tech as I get, so just a guess.
Not the first time the voices in your head have steered you wrong.
I’ll never live down the goats and midgets incident, will I?
If you hadn’t dressed the midgets as the cast of “Square Pegs” I don’t think the media would have latched onto the story so readily.
Sarah Jessica Parker, you bitch.
I see the review starts with: “When it comes to modern action directors uninterested in spatial lucidity…”
It’s not easy to lose your audience in the first 11 words, but this guy does an excellent job of doing just that.
Clarification: It’s not easy FOR ANYONE WHO IS NOT RUFUS to lose your audience in the first 11 words, etc.
Wrong freakin spot – the above was meant to go in V’s thread.
So very old I am…
Interested in some goats and/or midgets with frizzed-out hairdos?
I’m trying to cut down, but thanks!
If any of them have hairy manboobage, Floyd may take ‘em off your hands!
I don’t think this critic likes Green Zone. Also I like that he overwrites it completely by braking out every multisyllabic word in the dictionary.
http://slantmagazine.com/film/review/green-zone/4693
Veruckt, what did the man just say? Webster and Roget would be very proud!
I know he went off completely but unless you have dictionary.com up you might be at a loss (Rich being the possible exception). This I’m assuming would be one of those nerve grating intellectual elitist who use big words for the sake of using big words.
Indubitably!
“(SNAP!!!!)”
Is this an example of Rich’s use of big words, V?
If you struggled with this review, you should probably stay arm’s length from Buckley.
Buckley had the best knowledge of vocabulary and ability to utilize it of anyone I have ever heard speak. He always used the most specific word to state whatever it was he was stating. Brilliant!
I’m siding with Churchill.
“I like small words. I think they are the best.”
There was a master of the English language who didn’t feel the need to get into a lengthy word pissing contest with other intellectual pointy heads. No offense to our many intellectul pointy heads.
I’m having spelling issues or perhaps typing issues today. We need an edit function desperately or to be more in line with how I’ve been typing today dsepratelly.
Excellent use of typos to make a point V. I’m so proud that I’m not the only functional illiterate here at 3D!
Many thanks Fritz with dashes. I’ve decided to blame my recent rash of errors on a paper clip that has worked it’s way under the keys on my keyboard.
“No offense to our many intellectual pointy heads.”
None taken
I’m with Churchill, too. I try to only use Anglo Saxon words, unless there isn’t one that carries the right tone for what I’m trying to say.
(Is ‘tone’ Anglo-Saxon? At least it’s one syllable— I mean beat.)
ACORN just gave up Ohio.
http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/ohio-news/acorn-agrees-to-leave-ohio-under-settlement-593067.html
That’s good news though I can’t help thinking that ACORN will just come back as another organization with another acronym.
The AP got the name of the attorney’s law firm wrong. It’s actually the 1851 Center for Constitutional Law – not the 1815 Center.
I heard attorney Maurice Thompson of firm on my local radio station speaking about the recent decision on Ohio’s smoking ban enforcement.
Seems like a good organization. JohnFN, have you heard of them or their work?
http://www.ohioconstitution.org/
I heard of them today for the first time, actually. I went to the link you posted and got a kick out of the charter school stuff. If you want to see flame’s shoot out of the face of an Ohio Democrat, mention charter schools.
Check out what the crack team at White House came up with… http://dailycaller.com/2010/03/11/what-does-heath-care-mean-for-you/#commentsThey’ll probably just blame it on the “schoochildren.”
Who is your avatar, Karen L.?
I think her name is Selena Royle, a B-movie actress. This shot is from the movie “Robot Monster” from the 50′s. I think it’s considered one of the worst science fiction movies ever. I used the film still in my banner for my craft blog – http://attackofthecraft.blogspot.com/
Selena Royle trivia, from IMDB:
“During the early Depression, Selena Royle and Elizabeth Beatty started the Actors Free Dinner Club in Union Church on West 48th Street. It was organized so that those who came to volunteer and those who came out of necessity were indistinguishable from each other.”
Pretty cool, even if Ms. Royle refused to deny that she was a CARD CARRYING MEMBER OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY and ducked out of the McCarthy hearings.
Also Karen: you’re boys are mucho cute.
I read a great biography on Jim Valvano about 20 years ago. What a great, character! Every time Dick Vitale cashes his paycheck he remembers how lucky he is Valvano was taken at such a young age.
Why can’t I find a good biograhpy on Jimmy Stewart?
Did you know he had an interest in Bigfoot? His last appearance in a movie is a documentary “Sasquatch Odyssey: The Hunt for Bigfoot”. I had it in my Netflix queue but gave up on seeing it because it was in such demand.

Don’t forget his poetry.

The joke in the movie was not meant as a knock against Reagan, but simply a comment on the fact that in the ’50s he was just a popular actor, and no one at that time could imagine him becoming President. Imagine if someone came back from the future and told you that Brad Pitt was going to be President 30 years from now, you’d react the same way.
Sounds like you’ve got your facts straight, JimmyC, but I’ll bet 80% of the audience heard it as a joke.
No argument, Rufus, but the 80s also were a golden age for the likes of Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Chuck Norris, and even as cheesy as they’d devolved, Bronson’s Death Wishes; i.e., movies that celebrated the USA (and the individual) for our greatness.
Just as our current age is the era of Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, Iron Man, Transformers, Red Eye, Gran Torino, The Blind Side, South Park…
Roger Ebert just put up his review of The Green Zone. He gave it four stars. (Shocking, I know). I couldn’t bring myself to finish reading the review, but suffice it to say that his first paragraph refers to the soldiers fighting in Iraq as “not heroes, but dupes,” and also contains the word “neoconservatives.”
You can read the whole thing at http://www.rogerebert.com, if you’ve got a stronger gag reflex than me.
He sure makes it hard to have any sympathy for him and his illness. I won’t say what I’m wanting to here because it would be very cruel.
He is a narcissistic idealogue.
My uncle died today. He was my safe spot in the world. He taught me about Jesus, prayed over me at my wedding, told me again and again that I was a person worthy of love. He embraced even my children who had died, and shared his little one gone on with me. He used to take us everywhere with him, work, play, church, any where that didn’t welcome “his” kids didn’t welcome him. He sang all the old hymns in a great joyful voice, read only the King James, and was incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about his faith. All of my important traditions come from him, and for a long time, all my self worth. There isn’t really a hole left with him gone, even in death there’s so much of him left in me and my life, he can’t be really gone. But I’m gonna miss his rib cracking, lift-me-off-the-floor hugs. I’m gonna miss seeing his eyes light up when I walked in a room. I’m gonna miss him calling me Trace and asking me to pray with him. Pray for his wife and girls, they’re going to miss him even more than me. He lived so as to make us all relatively sure of where he was going in the after life, but unfortunately, those are the same things that will make us miss him all the more.
Deepest condolences on your loss, Tracy. I’ll keep his family in my prayers.
Sorry to hear, Tracy. Most definitely adding you and his family to my nightly prayer list.
What JimmyC said Tracy. He sounds like a hell of a guy – very sorry for your loss dear.
Sorry for your loss Tracy. It’s only temporary as you well know, but it’ll be a joyous reunion.
God bless, your uncle, Trace.
My prayers are with you and your uncle’s family, Tracy. What a moving tribute.
Sorry for your loss, Tracy. God bless you and the family!
What a lovely, lovely tribute, Tracy. He’s an amazing man with an amazing niece!
Sending you hugs and prayers.
Sorry to hear about your Uncle, Tracy. My thoughts are with you.
Folks,I gotta go take a shower….need to make sure Eric Massa or Rahm Emmanuel aren’t lurking about.
No one’s going to see this but I just had to come in and vent. Dana Carvey was being brilliant on The Tonight Show…then he lost me with the “Obama is too smart to be Pres” bullshit.
Let’s see that mfer’s college transcripts/law review articles/employer evals from his college prof days. “Sounding smart”/”Being smart” == two different things.

I wager this is the first time in the history of the English language when the words “obsequious” and “turds” have been placed side by side. If I have my way it will not be the last.
My guess is he barely passed his classes, had others do his homework, and cheated on his tests.
