Carrie Mathison Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 What's comedic gold is Blazing Saddles. This is admittedly going on a tangent- but, agreed. Of course, it was made back when you were still allowed to be funny. Can you imagine if someone tried to make that movie today? I can just hear the hysterics.

Metropolis Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Black Lives Matter, Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton and the rest would protest. And that white woman who identifies as black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 The only person I can picture trying to do it would be Adam Sandler, in which case anyone with a sense of humor should protest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a Netflix original and it's aweful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tex Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 And I guess the Rock is still planning to run for president in 2020. Early polls show that he's ahead of Scissors, but still far behind Paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transducer X Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Eating popcorn and watching CNN? That sounds batchit crazy to me. Lots of them are nuts. Assad never struck me that way. And he may live "far away from the states" but he was educated in London and his wife is from the UK. They were the great hope for reformation less than 10 years ago and all the western countries were singing praises. I understand that desperation is a great motivator, but this strike still struck me as excessively bold for him. There are too many eyes watching and too much shifting political ground. I don't doubt that the attack came from that airfield, I just wonder if it was actually Assad that gave the order. If he didn't that might be far worse. That's not even close to being true.

More of a "come on, do what you said you would"Plus that quote was right on the heals of the Arab Spring when the SoS might have used that turmoil to hold it over the head of the likes of Assad. "Hey, you don't wan to end up like Libya, right? Here's what you do..." He was no less a ruthless dictator just because he we tried to convince him to stop being one. Obviously.

I smell what you are cookin' but Paper is a jabroni. And Paper doesn't have the People's Eyebrow.I think he'll get past paper. At that point the race will between him and a hard place.
