“What’s this day of rest shit? What’s this bullshit? I don’t fuckin’ care! It don’t matter to Jesus.

But you’re not foolin’ me, man. You might fool the fucks in the league office, but you don’t fool Jesus.

This bush league psyche-out stuff. Laughable, man – ha ha! I would have fucked you in the ass Saturday. I fuck you in the ass next Wednesday instead.

Wooo! You got a date Wednesday, baby!”

Jesus Quintana, “The Big Lebowski”

You Belong to Me sounds like an interesting movie. It stars Barbara Stanwyck and Henry Fonda. She’s a doctor. He’s a millionaire. They meet on vacation. I suppose wacky highjinx ensue soon turning to love.

But the movie only sounds interesting. There was never a movie with that description with those two in it. It is almost real and very similar plot points to The Lady Eve. Yet, I think it’s all fabricated.

I got this link in my google search RSS feed for Barabara Stanwyck. I read it the site. I think it’s a spam site as lately this search RSS feed has been getting hit with spam sites. I apologize now if you’re on a Windows machine and it installs some kind of malware.

I can’t believe how sophisticated these spammers are. If you read the rest of the site, you’ll see some other movies that were made in the alternate reality Hollywood of the spammers.

“I walk into someone’s place of work, they shit scared. They know I’m not a cop, think I’ve come to kill ’em. And I would. I’ll kill anybody who crosses me. Know what I mean?”

Lite, “Repo Man”

I have two bikes that I’ve been riding this year. I also have two more bikes in the garage. What to do with these? I would like to sell one, the Bianchi, but the other, an old Specialized Rockhopper, I want to recycle. Fix it up and give it to someone who may make use of it better.

I don’t who would do that, but these guys are close. If you have a few bikes you want to get rid of consider donating to this organization. Now if they only picked up door to door.

Avoid the Olympics on NBC. They suck. And it’s all about the people story. What about the sports? Who won the archery? The judo? The women’s weightlifting? Who knows if your watching NBC. You’ll learn more about the adversities of the atheletes than about their sport or their competitors.

Sometimes political commentators can be blowhards hard to listen to and to take seriously especially if they bloviate about the problems of the Democratic party. While not perfect in any sense, and not achieving much for the American people, the Democratic party still strives to make living in the United States better for everyone.

The Republican party? Not so much.

Thomas Frank is supposedly one of the more astute commentators of the political scene. While I don’t doubt that (I had read One Market Under God which was okay), he does put succinctly the problems with the Republican party and the people who come to be its representatives. They are a corrupt bunch of people, because the philosophical underpinnings of the Republican party is corrupt as well. They are beholden not to the people who elect them but to the corporations and the wealthy. They believe government to be THE problem, but still want to work within it. You don’t put the criminals in charge of the police. Why do we do it for our government?

Get this book and see the impoverished ideas of the Republican party.
