Monday Book Pick – 101 Uses for My Ex-wife’s wedding dress
101 Uses for My Ex-Wife’s Wedding Dress by Kevin Cotter
Ok, this book isn’t available until tomorrow, but it is just so mind blowingly awesome that it has to be today’s book pick. The author’s wife left him after 12 years and said to keep the wedding dress, he could do whatever he wanted with it. Word of advice darling, don’t give a man a challenge like that.
For your Halloween sugar fix…
Hard to find in stores, but Amazon comes to the rescue, Count Chocula, Frankenberry and Booberry cereal.
Oh, and you can get your plush on in all three as well.
Friday B-Movie Pick: Near Dark & Dog Soldiers
It’s almost Holloween, so today we have a double header of Vampires and Werewolves. The first is a low buget classic from 1987. A group of vampires roaming Oklahoma those recent yet far away days before ubiquitous cell phones, multiple 24/7 news channels and new media news back channels. There is plenty of blood and mayhem to go around in this dark and violent vampire flick that never uses the word “vampire.” Dog Soldiers was made fifteen years later, but has a lot of the same noir grittiness. A small group of British soldiers are dropped into the remote countryside for some “routine” training. Add a group of werewolves that “just happen to be in the area”, and you have a nice flick to get you in the mood for Holloween.
Question of the Day
Why is profiling illegal when looking for terrorists, but is considered good policy in college admissions?
Was David Gregory drunk on the air again?
Alternate question, is he actually just that stupid? These question are raised because of his “performance” on last Sunday’s Meet the Press. Let’s review the transcript:
MR. CAIN: We replace capital gains tax. We replace the payroll tax. We replace corporate income tax, replace personal income tax, and replace the death tax. It is a replacement tax structure.
MR. GREGORY: But where do state taxes go? You’re saying they’re going to be repealed?
MR. CAIN: If you–with the current structure, you have state taxes, right? So with this new structure, you’re still going to have taxes–state taxes. That is muddying the water.
MR. GREGORY: How so?
MR. CAIN: Because today, under the current tax code, state taxes are there if they have it. If they don’t have a state taxes, they don’t have it. It has nothing to do with this replacement structure for the federal tax code.
MR. GREGORY: But that doesn’t make any sense to me. If I’m already paying state taxes, and I have a new Cain administration national sales tax, I’ve got more state taxes.
Mr. Gregory appears to be deeply confused on the difference between State taxes and a sales tax. He is either spiking his coffee and hosting a national political talk show drunk or is completely incompetent for the position he holds. The other explanation is that does know the difference, but is deliberately attempting to confuse the issue in order to make the current Republican front runner look bad. That last option points to a deep and widespread far left wing extremist media bias at NBC News/MSNBC.
So which is it? Drunk, incompetent or deliberately attempting to mislead the American people?
It’s a safe bet that their houses won’t have leftist “OWS” protesters
Meet the “1%”, uber-rich Obama bundlers.
The Obama re-election campaign quietly released the list of their elite deep-pocketed donors who bundled at least $20 million each.
Ms. Malkin has the the full list.

How the Left supports our Troops
Filed under: Barking Moonbats, Politics, When democrats attack
A member of the US Coast Guard went a bit too close to the far left extremist, strike that, I mean “open minded and tolerant” “Occupy” crowd in Boston yesterday.
They thanked the servicewoman for her service in the following fashion:
The Coast Guard in Boston confirmed that a woman in uniform was harassed and spat upon near Occupy Boston protesters.
The woman was walking to the train and said protesters spit on her twice, called her foul names and even threw a water bottle at her.
Can’t say I’m surprised.
Hold on a moment…was that a plastic water bottle thrown at the member of the US Coast Guard? Was wasn’t the thrower turned in for crimes against Gaea?
Oh well, just another data point to prove that there is nothing quite as intolerant and closed minded as an “open minded and tolerant liberal.”

Friday B-Movie Pick: Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen
Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen
Donny Yen, son of Boston Kung Fu Master Bow Sim Mark, and start of the Yip Man films, stars in this excellent martial arts flick. He plays Chen Zhen, Bruce Lee’s character from The Chinese Connection. After seeing the horrors of war in WWI France, Chen returns to Shenghai to continue his battle against the Japanese. The action is excellent, and the acting quite good. As Joe-Bob would say, check it out!
