If you have known me for 30 minutes, you are probably aware that one of my all-time favorite movies is 1985’s "Real Genius."
In "Real Genius," Val Kilmer plays a super-smart college kid at a high-tech California college. A 15-year-old enters the scene with even higher test scores, and hilarity ensues.
The story behind the one-liners and sight gags is that these college students are being use in a military research projects one of their professors is using for his personal gain. They are developing efficient high-powered lasers.
Of course, the super smart kids never considered what purpose the laser would have, they just created it.
Then they found out the laser could be used to vaporize human targets leaving no evidence behind.
The movie is a comedy, but I bet it scares Sen. Rand Paul to death.
For more than 13 hours this week, Paul has filibustered the Senate action on the nomination of John Brennan as CIA director to replace Leon Panetta.
Paul has criticized and offered concerns about President Barack Obama using his killing machines from above.
In the movie, the laser was operated by a person on a piloted plane. But Obama has unmanned drones that he could use to kill anyone – even Jane Fonda.
“Are you going to just drop a hellfire missile on Jane Fonda? Are you going to drop a missile on Kent State?” Paul asked as he filibustered.
Fonda had to be wondering what she did to find herself back in the headlines this week. After all, she hasn’t criticized the military recently – unlike during the Vietnam War – and she isn’t even married to Ted Turner anymore – which could have been more traumatic than living through the Vietnam War.
Paul went on to “not” call Obama Hitler, thus placing the idea that Obama is Hitler in all of his followers’ minds.
“I’m not saying that anyone is Hitler, don’t misunderstand me,” he said as he continued hours of speaking without so much as a bathroom break....
This guy is no real genuis either.
Obama isn’t Hitler for sure. Hitler at least wrote his own book and he did get the Olympics to come to his country. I’d say Obama is a two-bit Mussolini.
