I have had it with the idiots at the NRA.  Their ad that claims the president doesn't care about protecting our children, while his daughters are protected at their school is completely offensive.  They Suck! 

I am so proud of President Obama for finally taking a stand on gun control.  It is one of those organizations that are very difficult to make a stand against because the idiots that are on the fringe will probably try some crazy action.  Also the lobby is so strong that most congressmen wouldn't ever have the balls to stand up to them or they would not get re-elected.

Thank you Mr. President for having the guts to at least START a conversation about gun control.  I am worried about you and your family because these NRA crazies are not even able to start a conversation that is coherent, let alone intelligent.

Is there a difference between a militia from the early 1800's and today? Oh duh- muskets were not very "rapid" fire.  ( by the way the 2nd amendment calls for the right to arm a militia- not teens or twenty-somethings that have nothing better to do then shoot defenseless children in their kindergarten class.)  Lets get real here- way too many innocent people have been killed in mass shootings.  Something has to be done to make weapons less accessible and the dip shits at the NRA don't want to even admit that we need better background checks or less access to assault weapons. 





 

silver linings-go see it!

I was so happy to hear that this movie received 8 nominations for the Oscars.  If you haven't seen it- I highly recommend that you do. We saw it after a bad week and it really helped us to heal.  It seems as though it would be a sad, tragic story.  Bradley Cooper has just been released from a mental hospital and he has been cast out of almost everything in his life.  The actors are all great.  They are completely believable as Philly style folks.  Jennifer Lawrence has also faced a life tragedy and is also a little nutty.  The interaction between them is very raw.  Robert De Niro plays Bradley's Eagles fanatic father.  I mean I think he reminds me of quite a few Philly natives.  Even Julia Stiles and the actor who plays her husband are totally believable in their perspectives roles.

I was sorry that Ben Affleck didn't receive any personal nominations, but his movie Argo was a great movie.  We knew the outcome because it was a true story and it was still very intense.  Alan Arkin and John Goodman made that movie.  John Goodman also injected a left into the Flight movie.  I think Denzel was perfect in his self-destructive role.  I was also happy to hear that Quvenzhane' Wallis was nominated fro Beasts of the Southern Wild.  She was spectacular in that role and I loved the movie. 

This was a great year for movies.  There were so many interesting stories out there.  I loved Life of Pi,Perks of a Wallflower and Robot and Frank.  Many of the movies didn't have a completely happy ending, but there was always a silver lining!
