Movie Quote: I need some help here

As we all know, life is a pretty much never ending movie quote. Within five minutes of talking to me the chances are you've heard at least a dozen references to movies, five of them from Christmas Vacation or Office Space.

This one has me stumped, and I'm not sure if it was just because the movie was SO lame or if it is because it is actually a line that is used in a lot of movies.

Here it is:

"Oh no you din't" and is accompanied by a head roll (fyi, not a misspelling)

I tried Googling without success.

Anybody?

Where your gas money is going?

If you were wondering where all of the money from the $4 gas is going.

Dubai is right near the top of that list. So much money in fact that ordinary buildings are just too plain. How about one that rotates? Not just the building, but each floor... individually. Check out the concept picture. Would you live in it?

Wow, I got taken?!

I say that with surprise because it DOES NOT happen very often. I must say that I am normally the king of finding out if something is legit or not.

Well, it turns out our little ball girl is a stunt girl.
And the last two seconds of the video is the most important part. Where the "ball girl" sits in her chair that is right next to the... Gatorade bottle.

Thanks for the real catch, Nick. Check out the story here.

Behind the scenes of the $300 BILLION bail out

Rich Lowry has a great piece about the mortgage bailout and a little of the behind the scenes action that has gone into it.

It's tough to be a senator, especially when you are chairman of the banking committee...

This is unbelievable

I've seen some pretty good catches in my time. But not by the ball boy/girl at the game. And this one is AMAZING! I mean, the athletic skill, timing, guts, and just plain effort are... well, just watch.

I thought Obama was a lawyer?

A great piece by a blogger from PowerLine got picked up by the NYP. Check it out here. It explains the problems presented by dealing with terrorism as a law enforcement issue and explains how it failed miserably after the first WTC bombing. A method that Obama lavished praise on after the Supreme Courts ruling a couple of weeks ago.

Candidates for any position should not be followed blindly. If they are really the right person for the job then they should be able to stand by their record and their knowledge of recent history. It is our duty as Americans to elect someone as president because they would be the best person for the job. Those who would walk blindly into the booth in November and select their candidate without doing research are doing themselves and their country a great disservice.

Setting the stage

This absolutely made me mad. Not just a little mad, but a lot mad. This isn't news, this is a bleak and depressing look at all of the bad things going on in the world. What about stories of people pulling together to help those in need? Why haven't we heard stories about Americans giving to aid the earthquake victims in China? Or groups that have been praying for the Chinese parents who lost their children when their school collapsed? Or how the reaction of the people in Iowa and the other Midwest states has been amazingly positive given the situation? How about stories talking about the improvements in FEMA management?

I mean come on! Something! This story is just depressing! But it's not really even a story, it's a sob-story depression piece. WHAT'S THE POINT!!!!

Or is there a point? Hmm... granted there are a lot of bad things going on in the world right now. But aren't there always? The world is a big place. If you have a camera and a few airline tickets you can string together quite a collage of negative imagery.

Of course if you want to get your "audience" ready to receive their hero and deliverer, then that is probably exactly the picture you would paint. The world was a dark and horrible place, filled with pollution, disease, incandescent light bulbs, and gas guzzling SUVs until... our hero OBAMA!

Okay, it may be a little "conspiracy theory-ish", but I don't think that it is THAT much of a stretch. I think that there are a good many "reporters" out there trying to do their best to influence their world. Some of them are probably even pretty innocent about it. Unfortunately sometimes we see what we want to see.

A switch pitcher meets a switch hitter...

Pretty cool story. Never heard of a switch pitcher before. I like it.

I only wish the McCain reached across the political isle as infrequently as Obama does

Obama keeps talking about change, hope, and a different kind of politics. The fact is he is a liberal and the most liberal liberal at that. Kind of strange that he talks about a new kind of government for everybody. If you peak at all at his record you would think that he is living in a state of denial if he thinks he is a centrist.

McCain on the other hand is a centrist in the very definition of the phrase. Depending on the issue he would just as well call himself a democrat. It ticks me off, but that's the record.

If you aren't a partisan (which most people say they aren't) and you are really a middle of the road kind of person (which every body thinks they are until they look at the issues). Then you should love McCain.

There is a great piece from the Washington Post highlighting the record.

Winnie the Pooh Shaping Our NATIONAL SECURITY! ARE YOU EVEN SERIOUS!!!!

That's right ladies and gentlemen the essence of our National Security Policy will be pulled from the great bear himself.

What next are we going to drop honey pots on the enemy?

Maybe Minnie and Mickey can be our ambassadors to Iran.

Once again, Obama showing his incredible judgement in choosing his advisers.

Is this the 60's mantra coming into our National Security Policy... "If it feels good, do it?"

Maybe we should write a couple of slogans to communicate our new policy.

"When the going gets tough... give up and give in!"

"Try something with us... and we'll go home crying like a little girl!" (no offense to some very tough little girls out there)

Maybe we should just redesign the American flag now. Half yellow and half white. That would communicate our cowardice and surrender all in the same shot.
