Pay for Hollywood’s Opinions?

So Green Zone, a $130 million movie about how the Iraq war is wrong and a plot by neocons, was a box office flop this past weekend. Who could have predicted that? You’d think the American people would feel they haven’t heard enough arguments against the Iraq war and would be clamoring to pay $10 and hear from Hollywood actors and directors on the subject.

Really, when are actors and such going to figure out they’re the last people we want to hear from on any subject beyond where to score good blow? Just dance for us, monkeys!

Question of the Day

Obama is in his final push (final for real this time; we swear!) for his health care bill. Which raises a good question: How much do we laugh at him if he fails?

I say we put aside a whole week to mock what a failure he is, going to any public even he’s at to point and laugh at him. He’ll eventually yell, “You guys are mean!” and run away crying to the White House and hide in there and refuse to come out. That will be a nice break for all involved.

Sounds a little cruel, but that’s how you play politics. How much do you plan to laugh at him?

Creative War Plans

The Pentagon revealed that they often get e-mailed plans like parachuting bears into the Middle East the hunt down Osama bin Laden. So yeah, I e-mail the Pentagon my ideas in my spare time. Here are some other plans I’ve come up with:

CREATIVE WAR PLANS

* Send terrorists boxes labeled “guns” and “bomb making supplies.” What’s actually inside? All our nation’s squirrels!

* Create giant robots that eat people.

* Make our own flying saucer and land it in the Middle East so terrorists think they’re being visited by aliens. When the “aliens” come out of the UFO, the terrorists will rush to greet them and find out too late that they’re actually angry rottweilers in robes.

* Make a satellite that can throw rocks at people from space. Then terrorists will get hit in head with rocks and be like, “Where the hell did that come from?!” They’ll be totally freaked out!

* To hunt down and kill Osama bin Laden, send the Land Shark.

* Send the terrorists shipments of free sunglasses. Unbeknown to them, the sunglasses have no actual UV protection.

* Build next to the Pentagon a decoy Hexagon. You’ll have to carefully count the sides to make sure which one is the right one.

* Create a virus that turns people to zombies and release it in a terrorists stronghold. Just make sure it stays isolated to there as that’s where the trouble starts.

* Distribute free candy to children. The terrorists, being evil, will then steal the candy from the children. But the joke is on them because the candy is poison!

* Replace Osama with Obama to make all the terrorists plans ineffective.

What are your creative ideas you’ve sent the Pentagon?

St. Patrick’s Day

Today is St. Patrick’s Day, the day we celebrate how we chased all the drunken, subhuman Irish out of America by throwing potatoes at them. No one knows what happened to them, but rumors say the Irish hide in burrows underground and sneak in our houses through our basements or crawl spaces to raid our liquor cabinets. That’s why we celebrate today by trying to drink all our liquor before the Irish get to it.

Random Thoughts

I still don’t get how I could have put a movie in the mail yesterday morning and Netflix has already gotten it. I guess that’s the speed of U.S. mail when infused with capitalism.

When SarahK saw the baby’s heartbeat, she cried. I even almost had an emotion.

This is really going to change SarahK’s life. I wish her good luck with that.

While we were watching, the baby jumped and waved his arm around. I think he’s going to be an ultimate fighter!

I already love the baby more than either of our two stupid cats. The dog is still good.

Whatever the baby’s sex is, he/she better like playing FPSs with me. And mowing the lawn.

In preparation for the baby, I should make my own children’s book: Goodbye Moon.

I grew up dreaming to be the first person on Mars, and now my child can too since our space program has been a complete turd.

Thieves Described As “Wearing Brown Coats”

Saw this story:

Thieves scaled a wall at a pharmaceutical warehouse over the weekend, cut a hole in the roof and rappelled inside to steal about $70 million in antidepressants and other prescription drugs, authorities said Tuesday.

Hmmm… that sounds familiar.

And based on this little snippet:

No vehicles were reported stolen from the site or nearby, so it’s believed they arrived with one or more vehicles large enough to transport the dozens and dozens of pallets of drugs, he said.

I just gotta ask the readers near Enfield, Connecticut…

Did anybody happen to notice a suspicious-looking Firefly class transport ship in the area last Sunday?
