It's no secret I'm a sucker for Presidential politics, or politics in general. But political movies are my weakness!
Olympus Has Fallen premieres on March 22, and already I cannot wait for this movie to hit my local theater. The movie revolves around a group of terrorists taking over the White House and a disgraced presidential guard doing whatever he can to rescue the president.
I'm thinking Die Hard and Independence Day, but 20 times better! Can't Wait!
"One of the most memorable moments of Election Night in 2008 came when Sarah Palin joined John McCain after his concession speech. As she walked onto the platform Palin looked visibly angry, not someone resigned to a loss but someone still ripe for a fight. Apparently the reality of the situation had yet to sink in and Palin was still in campaign (i.e. pit bull) mode. What prompted her anger was later revealed by political journalists John Heilemann and Mark Halperin in their best-seller "Game Change" and acts as the climax to the HBO movie based on the book that premieres this weekend. And, yes, she was pissed." [edge] People who have already seen this movie are raving about it, but it doesn't come without the backlash from the folks on the right - the Reds. To put it in simple terms, instead of people placing aside their political differences when watching this film, there's the pre-conceived notion that Hollywood was being biased in the making of this film.
Well, I kinda have to agree with that; Where's the first part of the book by Halperin and Heilemann? You know - the part where Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were at each other's throats? But place this aside for the moment, because we all know that a majority of the REDs would agree that Palinwasn't fit to handle the job. And even more were weary of her becoming President if something would have happened to John McCain. But going back to the book the film is based on - more than 300 people were interviewed who were involved in the McCain/Palin campaign, so it begs the question, how could it be false if all these people were involved in the campaign?
Watch the trailer, it's definitely is an award-winning film and makes for must-see-TV. It's definitely something Ryan and I will be watching this Saturday night on HBO - 8PM Central
This was absolutely fantastic. Too hilarious! I don't even have the words to describe it, but it is the best movie trailer you will ever, ever see. If there is anything you watch all day, it should be this and the Laugh of the Day I posted earlier this morning.

You knew it was bound to happen. It's a political season, a political year, and another day of hearing Sh*t Politician's Say. I'm just waiting to see when the videos of "Sh*t Mitt Romney Says" & "Sh*t Obama Says" will transpire.
Oh and just in case you haven't noticed, there's all sorts of other sh*t people say. Just YouTube it for God's sake. These videos have gotten out of control. Hell, just the other day I saw this one, "Sh*t Rocks Say". Yep, my thoughts exactly. LOL.
Ryan and I are currently watching one of the greatest shows ever to air on network television, The West Wing.
Last night, we had the pleasure of watching our new favorite episode to date, titled "The Midterms". It's memorable because of what President Josiah Bartlet told a Dr. Schlessinger character aka Dr. Jacobs.
She was told by the President, "I like your show. I like how you call homosexuality an abomination." And she responded, "I don’t say homosexuality is an abomination, Mr. President. The Bible does."
The President's reply was absolutely awesome, and astounding. Check out the small script below, better yet, watch the video I attached.
President Josiah Bartlet: [addressing a radio personality party in the White House, entering room to applause] Thank you. Thank you very much. Thanks a lot. I wish I could spend more than a few minutes with you, but the polls don’t close in the east for another hour, and there are plenty of election results still left to falsify.
[everyone laughs]
President Josiah Bartlet: I’m sorry. Uh, you’re Dr. Jenna Jacobs, right? Dr. Jenna Jacobs: Yes, Sir. President Josiah Bartlet: It’s good to have you here. Dr. Jenna Jacobs: Thank you. President Josiah Bartlet: The awesome impact of the airwaves and how that translates into the furthering of our national discussions, but also obviously how it can… Forgive me, Dr. Jacobs. Are you an M.D.? Dr. Jenna Jacobs: A Ph.D. President Josiah Bartlet: A Ph.D. Dr. Jenna Jacobs: Yes, Sir. President Josiah Bartlet: In psychology? Dr. Jenna Jacobs: No, Sir. President Josiah Bartlet: Theology? Dr. Jenna Jacobs: No. President Josiah Bartlet: Social work? Dr. Jenna Jacobs: I have a Ph.D. in English literature. President Josiah Bartlet: I’m asking ‘cause on your show, people call in for advice and you go by the name Dr. Jacobs on your show, and I didn’t know if maybe your listeners were confused by that and assumed you had advanced training in psychology, theology or health care. Dr. Jenna Jacobs: I don’t believe they are confused. No, Sir. President Josiah Bartlet:Good. I like your show. I like how you call homosexuality an abomination. Dr. Jenna Jacobs: I don’t say homosexuality is an abomination, Mr. President. The Bible does. President Josiah Bartlet: Yes, it does. Leviticus. Dr. Jenna Jacobs: 18:22. President Josiah Bartlet: Chapter and verse. I wanted to ask you a couple of questions while I had you here. I’m interested in selling my youngest daughter into slavery as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. She’s a Georgetown sophomore, speaks fluent Italian, always cleared the table when it was her turn. What would a good price for her be? While thinking about that, can I ask another? My Chief of Staff Leo McGarry insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly says he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or is it okay to call the police? Here’s one that’s really important ‘cause we’ve got a lot of sports fans in this town: Touching the skin of a dead pig makes one unclean. Leviticus 11:7. If they promise to wear gloves, can the Washington Redskins still play football? Can Notre Dame? Can West Point? Does the whole town really have to be together to stone my brother John for planting different crops side by side? Can I burn my mother in a small family gathering for wearing garments made from two different threads? Think about those questions, would you? One last thing: While you may be mistaking this for your monthly meeting of the Ignorant Tight-Ass Club, in this building, when the President stands, nobody sits.
