What the Dems need is to cram the health care reform down these people’s throats. Let them choke on that for the time being. They should treat these people with contempt. It really is ridiculous what these fuckers claim.
These white people, and it is almost exclusively white, are too selfish for words. They don’t understand the intent of the health care reform. To put it plainly, it’s to give health care insurance to those who don’t currently have it in the least costliest of ways. These white people, and it is almost exclusively white, don’t want to share with anyone. Heaven forbid that the poor, sick, or the uninsured get health insurance. They don’t want to share in the cost. They want to live in the greatest country in the world, but don’t contribute. I say get the fuck out then.
And those health benefits? How are they?
Every time I’m at the Yard, I enthusiastically cheer the ballgirls. They always have a cush job, and they’re right there on the field. Most likely the best seats in the house. That is, until the screaming line drive comes your way. Stick out your glove and try to make the catch.
Way to go ZERO-NINE! Over here ZERO-NINE! Throw me the ball!

Why does it take a man who watches movies all day to get you to understand health care reform?

Guy in the bottom of the ninth jumps the fence. Runs to the center field wall and back, but is tackled by the po-po. Hope the beer, drunkeness was worth it.
Cheers to you drunken fan!

Adventures From My Netflix Queue: Amélie
I didn’t plan on blogging the movies I saw today, but a scene in Amélie was directly copied in Ghanjani. It’s kind of weird to notice these things. Similar to Julius Caesar from yesterday. Is it coincidence?
The scene: The girl helps out a blind man.
She spots him lonely on the curb. Then she goes to help him. Takes him by the hand. Leads him to his destination all the while describing what she sees. She gives a running commentary on life being led around them.
In both movies, it signifies something important in the girl. In Ghanjani the girl is carefree, and shows her kindness as helping towards others: it comes naturally. In Amélie, the girl needs to become carefree and she slowly comes out of her shell.
Qué un shell!! Audrey Tautou is plain cuteness personified like an anime girl come to life. Moe in French.
Amélie is a charming movie. Love and the search for love will always be fun to watch. When the girl is as cute as Tautou it’s even more charming. When her character is as shy as that, I’m easily charmed. Reminds me of all the quiet, shy anime girls I so dig. (Mio! Yakomo!) You just want her to find that love. The search is darn cute as well. Find the man. Give him clues. Show him you love him. It’s as easy as that. Where’s my quiet anime French girl in my life.

Hunh!?
This should be tweeted, but your limited to 140 characters.
I’m watching Ghanjani, some BollyWood film on iFC. It starts off as rip-off of Memento: some guy with amnesia looking for the killer of his girl.
And then like all Bollywood films, the singing kicks in. We’re now in some romantic comedy showing the back story of how the guy with amnesia falls in love with the girl. It’s a case of mistake identity. And singing.
When will it get back to the thriller?
UPDATE WITH REVIEW:
I was just looking for something to watch this morning as I was waking up, and I decided to check out one of the free channels that I get on DirectTV. It’s the Independent Film Channel, iFC, showing their Sunday Bollywood programming. I let the station play as I was more interested in the morning’s news on the blogs. That is until, that dude decided to beat some guy up. Then I was intrigued about the movie. Then they started in with the singing. And the movie went from some thriller to romantic comedy.
She was a struggling model low on her ad agency’s actress list. He was the scion of the big telecom company. He’s come back from America to take charge of the family business. She is somehow linked to him. She pretends he’s her boyfriend. It works and she becomes the darling of the ad agency. They do finally meet. Cute. She thinks he’s an aspiring actor. She helps him get a job with her clout. They sing and dance.
Then we go back to finding out how she dies. And we’re back into Memento land and the bad ass kicking ass theme.
I was more interested in the romantic comedy. I wonder if that would make a better movie.

Danny Choo and his weeks in Tokyo
http://www.dannychoo.com/adp/eng/1736/A+Week+in+Tokyo+43.htmlIf you haven't yet, you should check out Danny, son of Jimmy, Choo's
internet haunt. It's a real geek/otaku hangout, but there are some real
interesting things there. What's awesome is his weekly "Week in Tokyo,"
which he just shows you around. Beautiful photos. Nice writing. Good to read. Sometimes, the food he puts on there, makes my mouth water. Most
everytime raw fish is presented, I really get the hankering for sushi.
And then the noodles… Mmmm.
