Things are looking up for Newt. With the heavy usage of absentee ballots, reported to be over 200,000, the vote is bound to be close.

Vacation
Enjoyed watching the manatees from the upper deck of our rental house boat.
Key West was interesting but having the dog with us kind of limited our ability to move.

Joe Kidd
I am sitting here like a vegetable, watching Joe Kidd.
A fun enough movie that I've only ever watched in bits.
Eastwood is too cool to be stuck in a cowboy movie.
Duval playing the dick he was so good at before all of the sweetheart roles.
In this! was checking information at ImDB, and learned that Duval is younger than Eastwood. Only by a year, but would have bet Duval was ten years older.
Guess my powers of perception aren't so great.
Duval just got shot.
Next time I'll knock your damn head off.

Kick Some Money In
The nice man from the RNC called again. Like always I told him that I do not give money to people who call me on the phone, but I may respond to mail.
Two days later there was mail from the national RNC and state Republican Parties.
I sent a little money to each.
This feels better than having to throw out those darned McCain fliers trying to get money to pay for his inept Presidential campaign.
Or throw out the lame pleas for help from Micheal Steele.
Now is the time to pitch in, influence the result by strengthening the opposition party.
Sealed up and ready go.

Best Quote?
I have made an effort lately to broaden my studies. Part of that change was to sign up for a daily mailing from the web site MoveOn.org. For years I have heard pundits from the right and the left extol the power of this site.
So far, I do not see much more than unorganized ramblings of random Democrats.
The effect is no better than this junky blog. Today's gem leads off with the tantalizing title.
Here is the quotation, dated 2-January-2012.
This is SnagIt picture of the web page.

The Best Quote About Democrats V. Republicans We've Seen YetSo I follow the links and this brings me to a quote attributed to Barney Frank. Barney, the matriarch of of male prostitutes with staff salaries (aka stiff pay).
Here is the quotation, dated 2-January-2012.
We're not perfect, but THEY'RE NUTS!Though surely not the construct of the soon to be retired Representative, the quotation is coupled with a collage of Republican Presidential candidates.
This is SnagIt picture of the web page.
Now, I have a glimmer of understanding of my shortcomings as an author and an intellectual, but if this is the work of genius liberal soldiers, I have to question the ability of pundits to know difference between value and crap.
This is crap, childish crap.
Oh, as Lieutenant Colonel Frank Slade says in Scent of a Woman,
And Barney, wherever you are out there, FUCK YOU TOO!

Steinism
"Fathom the hypocrisy of a Government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured ... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen."
Ben Stein
Well said. This existing as an issue purely because the media will not address acknowledged voting abuse honestly. The media's habit of labelling POC proponents as racist is based purely in their liberally biased position and wishes for electoral outcome. There is no plausible argument against the requirement of factual proof of citizenship., especially in a society where proof person is required for all significant non-cash transactions.

The Last Picture Show
I have been focused on Larry McMurtry lately, even getting the final Jeopardy question right the other night when none of the contestants did. This led me to watch The Last Picture Show, a movie I heard about for years and never caught on television.
After watching the DVD, I understand whey it is not on television.
A movie released in 1971, based on a story written by the author of stories that led to many popular movies, such as Hud, Terms of Endearment, Lonesome Dove and Brokeback Mountain. An early direction work by director-actor Peter Bogdanovich, whose immediate following works included Paper Moon. More recently he has appeared as a psychiatrist on the series The Sopranos.
The movie is based in a dying Texas town of the early 1950's. The main characters are high school classmates, with little sense of future or ambition. The opportunities for employment are all out of town, those being in oil, military or college. Duane is Jacy's boyfriend and has all he can handle with girl that is learning to be an expert at manipulation. Sonny has the same affection for Jacy but respects the order of things. In time they graduate and move on the the next stage, except for Sonny who seems trapped in a town with no future.
The cast is positive, catching many well known actors early in their careers.

The cast is positive, catching many well known actors early in their careers.
- Timothy Bottoms, the lead male, as Sonny Crawford, in a created and later reprized in Texasville.
- Jeff Bridges as Sonny Crawford's best friend Duane Jackson.
- Cybill Shepherd as Jacy Farrow, the object of every young man's affection. A good looking girl, whose poor ability was masked by the director's control of the role. Her naked breasts, even then, did not match the beautiful exterior.
- Ben Johnson as Sam the Lion, always entertaining.
- Cloris Leachman as Ruth Popper, a good portrayal of a sad woman.
- Ellen Burstyn as Lois Farrow, Jacy's mother, whose skill at manipulating men is her chief bequest to her daughter.
- Eileen Brennan as Genevieve, not quite sure how all the relationships worked, and at the time has a pretty good figure.
- Sam Bottoms as Billy, brother of the lead, playing the town mute.
- Randy Quaid as Lester Marlow, a goofy looking, awkward rich kid with the hots for Jacy.

Home From Work
This is the second four day weekend in as many weeks, could get used to this.
Spent Saturday afternoon watching my Jackets snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
A pretty disgusting thing to watch, the temptation to want the CPJ thrown under a bus is hard to resist. Later this month when my season ticket renewal arrives, the yearly cost will no doubt be higher than last year.
So what if we have gone to 15 or 16 bowl games in a row, if we are not goo enough to win, we should not be going.
An embarrassment for sure.
