That doesn't even make sense. But wait, I'm talking about a DUmmie...they never make sense.

I think the poster is saying that Osama and Jesus must look alike because they both have beards. Just like you might look like Hitler if you have brown eyes.

[SaveTheChief]

Help! My mean evil Republican daddy hurt my feelings and now I need all of my deranged leftist friends to help me get back at him!

I should have looked into becoming a therapist. It seems there is a big enough market for them these days.

[SaveTheChief]

Maybe I am a wee bit sadistic, but I just love that photograph.

[MarineBrat]

Fer crying out loud, that thing has been circulating around the net for years! I suppose our DUmmie in question thinks that the world was created when his mamma whelped him, and things are created when he first sees them?

DUmmie needs a life, DUmmie needs a sense of humor. If you can't laugh at yourself then you have yet to become a desirable companion in life.

[PJ-Comix]

Maybe we could work out some sort of act.

[Xenalyte]

Oh, HELLS yeah. I am THERE.

[PJ-Comix]

Yeah. The basic theme is that Little Enrique thinks Big Enrique's club is too old fashioned so he sets out to open an American Rock'n'Roll club. He tries to enlist the help of American gangster Meyer Levinsky who informs Little Enrique that American tourists in Havana want to see Cuban music, not American Rock'n'Roll music so he tells Little Enrique that he will help him open a nightclub in his new Riviera Hotel & Casino but ONLY if he uses Cuban salsa music. Reluctantly Little Enrique agrees but as he prepares to open the nightclub he begins to develop a growing respect for the traditional Cuban music. He also begins to respect his father, Big Enrique, more as a result. But as soon after the Riviera Hotel & Casino has their big opening night, Batista (musical number for him too) flees the country and Castro takes over. Big Enrique is executed for owning a "bourgeois" nightclub and Little Enrique flees to Miami where he opens a nightclub with the same name as his father's nightclub. Bittersweet ending with a big musical number in the new Miami nightclub.

Also musical numbers in this demonstrating Castro's inflated ego and a part for Herbert Matthews of the NY Times who aids Castro with his phony news stories. This is all loosly based on Shakespeare's Henry IV.

Oh, and Juan Falstaff MUST drunkenly dance with the feathered dancing girls on stage. Maybe even wear a few tail feathers himself.

Just like you might look like Hitler if you have brown eyes.

Blue eyes corrected the green-eyed sage.

[MarineBrat]

The kid could send this to his dad....

One interesting thing about Meyer Lansky is that until he came along, organized crime always operated crooked games which ultimately upset the clientele of those casinos. Lansky was the first to see that they could still make lots of money operating HONEST casinos since the odds were always in favor of the casinos without having to depend on crooked games.

[Xenalyte]

I did not know that! How did you learn so much about gangstas?

[NRA1995]

I have not forgotten the glorious days of CB radio's heyday....."Break one-nine for a horny beaver, this be the Beaver Squeezer standin' byyyyy....."

[PJ-Comix]

We are near to Cuba here and pre-revolutionary Havana has always interested me. I also saw an interesting documentary about the history of Cuban music and how it developed which I found fascinating. Havana of the 1950s was a fascinating place. Yes, it was corrupt but at the same time an amazing amount of musical talent was on hand there. Such a play would teach folks both about the great culture of Havana back then plus a bit about how Castro pretty much destroyed that. The gangsters weren't all bad as we can see the case with Meyer Lansky who actually CLEANED up the casinos. I might stop by the library this week and check out a book about the Tropicana nightclub of Havana. Also plan to reread Henry IV again. I definitely see there could be an audience for a musical update of that play. If my dream came true I also see the play being presented in both English and Spanish in separate performances for different audiences.

Of course this is all a dream for now.

[PJ-Comix]

Another interesting Meyer Lansky fact is that the proudest moment in his life is when his grandson graduated from West Point. You can see something of a portrayal of Lansky in Godfather II.

Batista loved Meyer Lansky because whenever Lansky came to Havana, which was frequently, he always brought Batista a briefcase full of money.

[PJ-Comix]

FYI. See above reference to Godfather II.

I definitely see there could be an audience for a musical update of that play. If my dream came true I also see the play being presented in both English and Spanish in separate performances for different audiences.

This is better and better! Shakespeare was always meant to be seen in performance, not read . . . and your idea sounds like you could really do the Bard and the story justice.

And it also sounds way better than that scary Leonardo DiCaprio version of "Romeo and Juliet."

Order him a subscription to "The Nation" for X-mas. And a copy of Howard Zinn's "A Peoples History of The United States, 1492-Present".

I was given just that, by my "progressive" aunt, for Christmas several years ago. She lives in NYC and normally can be counted on for cool earrings, but really messed up that year.

[gate2wire]

Does anyone know of a ... saying, that I could use to send to him??

Hmmm... How about Merry Christmas, Dad. G-d Bless You.

[Elyse]

I'm just so glad my two daughters are conservatives.

[Repub4bush]

Speaking of "White Christmas"....

One of Malik shabazz nutjobs was on Fox last night saying, it is a racist statement....LOL
