Guys, can we aim for some middle ground? I can’t watch old movies because every man in them sounds like he’s about to either take on some no-good yella-belly at high noon or issue some bulletin about the Russians. On the other hand, I can’t watch Matt Damon, Leo Dicaprio, etc., in any serious role because they all sound like Anderson Cooper or the Mac guy from the PC/Mac commercials.
One of the most puzzling developments I’ve seen over the past thirty years is the demand by certain types i.e. libs that nobody be judgmental. Libs are the most judgmental people in the world. If you do agree to their twisted view of the way things ought to be, you are condemned in no uncertain terms. Look at the same-sex marriage fiasco in California and the thuggish behavior by homosexual advocates to see what I mean.
I say that because there are people who go on year after year about how the world is getting worse and worse. Even if they're right, it gets tiresome after a while.
That said, if California's a lost paradise, it may not be because they can't build more nuclear power plants, offshore oil wells or superhighways. Something a lot more valuable was lost there a while ago.
And VDH has a bum ear. Peck and Jagger had voices of a very different sort than Wayne or Boone or Cooper. Just like Paul Lynde's accent would still stand out in a crowd.
Frank's fans like him because he laughingly admits to being a slob, but they don't see how much of a lowlife he really is.
I don't know if it's because the "Age of Nihilism" has arrived, but there's something about a cynical pose that wins some people over to an outsider, but when that onetime outsider's been in office for a long time, he becomes just another corrupt hack.
His supporters don't see it, though, because he's taught them to laugh it off, to think off him as a happy warrior rather than as a thug.
My thought:
They said they want to paint the White House black. Are they going to use brushes or spray paint?
We are talking about a bunch of rappers here.
