Friday B-Movie Pick: Murder by Death
From 1976 comes this murder mystery spoof that sends up the classic movie dectives. Sam Spade, Charlie Chan, Nick and Nora, and Miss Marple are amoung those who are spoofed. Great cast, Peter Falk, James Cromwell, David Niven and Peter Sellers are just some of the actors who obviously had a lot of fun with this flick.
Unemployment is on the rise again
The Obama Economy is operating as predicted, with employment hitting a 26 year high of 9.7%.
Let us review what our Dear Lader and the congressional democrats told us when they rammed the porkulus bill down America’s throat. If the massive spending program (that doesn’t even start to spend two thirds of the money until after 2010) wasn’t passed, unemployment would hit 9% and if it was passed, it wouldn’t go over 8%.
Geoff has a nice chart that compares the Team Lightbringer fantasy with reality. Let me sum up the chart for you, the so called democrat “leadership” who came up with that Charlie Foxtrot are either incompetent or liars. Either one of those solutions is not very comforting to the American people.
A shout out to Steven Crowder

I was at a Tea Party protest in Worcester, MA today snapping pictures for PJTV and ran into this fan of PJTV’s Steven Crowder.
Losing your base
Filed under: economy, Our Dear Leader, Politics, Taxes
Politically, that is a bad thing to do. President G.W. Bush and the GOP acted like they were intentionally out to piss off their fiscally conservative, Libertarian leaning base for most of his time in the White House. Clearly, that strategy didn’t work out too well for them, loosing both houses of Congress and the White House.
Now it seems that our Dear Leader is following yet another bad example set by former President G.W. Bush, i.e. pissing off his base. A lot of the really far left moonbat wackos aren’t happy because he isn’t putting enough admitted communists in positions of power and now it seems that classic liberal, minivan driving, soccer moms are starting to get pissed off our Dear Leader raiding their kids, and future grandkids, college funds through out of control spending and taxes.
Tea Party Attending Liberal Soccer Mom
I’m betting that the owner of this minivan voted for our Dear Leader and isn’t happy with how that turned out.
Comic book movie goodness
Scarlett Johansson will be playing Natasha Romanoff, aka The Black Widow, in the upcoming Iron Man 2 and The Avengers movies.
This is cool strickly on the Eye Candy meter alone. She has pulled off some good action rolls before (The Island), so it could be cool in other ways too.
John Carter of Mars film still in the works
A film version of “A Princess of Mars”, the first in Edgar Rice Burroughs’ John Carter of Mars series has been listed on IMDB since 2005.
It’s still listed as in pre-production, with the latest in release dates as 2012. There are also some cast listings. The most interesting is Willem Dafoe as the Green Martian King Tars Tarkas.
As I said before, this film could be amazingly cool or a fiasco of epic proportions. With William Dafoe on board, I’m leaning more toward amazingly cool.
If the four armed Green Martians look sufficently cool, this could be a plus toward getting David Weber & John Ringo‘s March Upcountry made into a film. That would be a good thing.
Why is the left afraid of honest questions?
Here is a video of a leftist protest organizer (probably a paid professional) instructing people attending a town hall meeting (were they bussed in from out of district, like other leftist “protesters”) on how to drown out people asking honest and legitimate questions about ObamaCare.
What does the left have against the First Amendment and the basic right of Free Political Speech?
Monday Book Pick: Two Hawks From Earth
Two Hawks From Earth, by Philp Jose Farmer
This classic alternate history/alternate reality book is back in print, which is a good thing. During WWII, Army Air Corps bomber pilot Roger Two Hawks bails out of his shot up bomber and lands in a different reality, one also experiencing a world spanning war.
Ya, I know. It’s Tuesday.
A quick look at the polls
Lots of interesting data over at Rasmussen today.
Only 29% of American voters are confident That Congress Knows What It’s Doing on Economy!
Only 22% of Americans think that Congress understands ObamaCare.
42% of American Voters Strongly Disapprove of our Dear Leader‘s performance, and total disapproval rating is up to 52%. We now have a majority of American voters who disgress with our Dear Leader!
Sixty percent (60%) of Americans say there is too much media coverage of our Dear Leader‘s personal life and family. Here is some advice to the MSM, less noise, more signal.
Two Thirds of American voters think our Dear Leader is taking America in the wrong direction.
Far left extremist democrat Congress critter “SanFran Nan” Pelosi’s unfavorables have risen to 64%
Score one for the Motor City Madman
I need to find a better source for this interview, but it sound like Ted Nugent.
A French journalist, an animal rights activist, was interviewing Ted Nugent, rock star and avid bow hunter from Michigan. The discussion came around to deer hunting.
The journalist asked, “What do you think is the last thought in the head of a deer before you shoot him? Is it, “Are you my friend?” or is it “Are you the one who killed my brother?”
Nugent replied, “Deer aren’t capable of that kind of thinking. All they care about is, what am I going to eat next, who am I going to screw next, and can I run fast enough to get away. They are very much like the French.”
The interview ended
