No, that’s not Larry to the left. That’s a shot of Mickey Rouke in The Wrestler. The guy may be odder than a three-legged duck, but he can act. I recommend the movie, but I did have to look away from the screen a couple times (but not while Marissa Tome was up there). I can’t believe neither Clint Eastwood nor Gran Torino were nominated for any Academy Awards.Larry Summers was on Meet the Press yesterday, and if he is going to be the administration’s chief salesman for the recovery plan, it’s in big trouble. He was inarticulate, unenthusiastic and unpersuasive. Meanwhile the whole plan is starting to sound like one big “earmark” bill to me; every tin-pot Congressman seems to be getting some chunk of real money for his or her pet local project. If they want to sell this plan they should consider the much-maligned, but very-effective-when-done-right PowerPoint presentation. Al Gore won a Nobel Prize and an Academy Award based on his PowerPoint. They can communicate a lot of information in a few pages and can be emailed to millions in a heartbeat. I’d rather take my chances that way than count on Katie Couric getting it right.
Do you think the reason Joe Biden has that permanent goofball grin smeared across his face is to show off his ten grand in dental whitenicity?
Doesn’t anyone pay the payroll taxes for their household help? Was this also one of Caroline Kennedy’s sins? The Gov would have us think so. Things are heating up among the Patterson/Clinton/Kennedy clans. Both New York and Massachusetts have mobilized their National Guards. There have been reports of skirmishes in the disputed West Berkshire borders region. Stay tuned.
I saw my man Steve Earle at the Tarrytown Music Hall Friday night. I wish he’d had his band with him, but it was a thrill to hear him anyway. The dude can do a lot with voice, guitar and harmonica.
