One thing I like about 30 Rock is that they tackle politics on it without trying to make a point and just trying to be funny. Simpsons was that way for the first decade, but there was a while it got annoying and preachy. I think they’re through that phase, though.
Now that I’m a father, I can better imagine myself as Liam Neeson next time I watch Taken.
Now that you’re a father, you’ll be watching less TV. 😉
Adult programming is not in your future.
Can you say: The wheels on the bus? I think you can.
We imagine with you as father Buttercup would never be taken! She would decimate the bad guys all while looking quite fetching in the process!
No more primetime MSM stuff for you. You are now sentenced to NickJr. Off you go !!!
What is a 30Rock? If it’s a primetime alphabet network comedy, nevermoind. If i want left wing comedy there is CNN or pmsnbc.
Speaking of being a father and the movie “Taken”. My 16 yr old daughter and I watched the movie together. So last Saturday my daughter, x-wife and I go to a “Rotary Youth Group” meeting that helps sent foreign exchange students around the world. Catch is, they “assign” a country to you, you do not get to pick because “every girl chooses France or Italy”.
Well, they had some interesting countries that these 15 – 20 yr olds can be “sent” to. Indonesia, Croatia, Yugoslavia, Jordan, etc. Of course there was Swedan, Iceland, France, etc. but the fact that you go to a country “chosen” for you had me a bit concerned.
Fortunately, their emphasis was not on “education” (your high school would likely not accept credits from the foreign schools) but on “cultural” experience. You become immersed in the culture such as no english, must learn the language cold turkey.
Though the x was all for it, I used the educational flaw to say it was bullshit and I wasn’t paying a dime. (plus I convinced my daughter that she would miss out on her senior year with all of her friends, etc,)
The truth is, there was no frigging way I was letting my beautiful 16 yr old daughter go to some godforsaken country, esp., muslim in the name of cultural diversity.
The only diversity I celebrate is the gun t-shirt I bought on this site.
If you were a real man, you would be doing exactly as you please and you would have your woman taking care of all the woman’s work (housecleaning, cooking, diaper changing etc.) and you would be sitting in your lazy boy issuing edicts from on high which shall be obeyed or else!
You should imagine yourself as Sam Jackson, not some British clod.

How long would Mr. Shiny stay in his holster if Frank tried your suggestion? Two, maybe even three whole minutes?
Must be some nice political analogy to why the Liberals can’t stand an armed populace in this as well.
ussjc – I rather think Frank IS doing exactly as he pleases. The Princess is proof of it.
Jimmy – I just fear that our dear leader (may he live forever) is doing dishes, washing clothes and vacuuming which is just not like right! We need FrankJ out front punchin’ hippies and such as the election draws near…
Pig Chump! There, I said it.
Now that you’re a father, all those things that liberals do to children that you used to find mildly annoying will now send you on mass hippie-punching binges.
Yeah, ussjc, we ARE asking a lot of Frank. But I’ll betcha he can cook dinner, do dishes, vacuum, wash clothes, change diapers and STILL find time to write for his blog. Engineers are like that because they systematize everything!
Nah, the Simpsons still kinda blow. Once in a blue moon they’ll come out with an ep that’s worth it.
Taken is awesome.
Now, Buttercup isn’t gonna dye her hair purple & become all Ninja is she?
Now that you’re a father,
the “Random Thoughts” post got a lot shorter.
Yeah well get used to that. A tiny bubble has that affect. Frank and Sarah should enjoy their daughter. Lord knows they gotta pay for it with the most intense diligence outside of Parris Island.
