All kinds of BS...
Duke won. I guess I'm glad, but at this point, choosing a winner between Duke and Carowhina is like choosing between syphilis and gonorrhea.
Mitt Romney has left the race. I wasn't enamored of him, but he was easily the most conservative of the Republicans left in the race. I think McCain really has the nomination now. With his views on immigration and taxes and his constant ass-kissing to the libs, I might as well vote for Hillary. Looks like I'll be checking the "Libertarian" box this November.
I've been thinking about the movies I've been watching recently and I've decided to post some Top Ten Lists. I'll be doing one movie per day, which I hope will help my consistency in posting to this blog. First list is of my Top Ten Sports Movies:
#10--Miracle (2004)
Worth a look just for Kurt Russell's portrayal of 1980 US Olympic Hockey Coach Herb Brooks. From what the players on that team say, Russell nailed it. Of course, it helps to have the story written for you. They also had Al Michaels reproduce his commentary form the actual match against the Soviets at Lake Placid, but the final call is the original broadcast tape from 1980.
Memorable quote:
Herb Brooks: Great moments... are born from great opportunity. And that's what you have here, tonight, boys. That's what you've earned here tonight. One game. If we played 'em ten times, they might win nine. But not this game. Not tonight. Tonight, we skate with them. Tonight, we stay with them. And we shut them down because we can! Tonight, WE are the greatest hockey team in the world. You were born to be hockey players. Every one of you. And you were meant to be here tonight. This is your time. Their time is done. It's over. I'm sick and tired of hearing about what a great hockey team the Soviets have. Screw 'em. This is your time. Now go out there and take it
