General Observations.........

Nancy Grace is my new hero.

She's basically told Jon and Kate (of Jon and Kate Plus Eight/Kate Plus Eight) to shut the hell up, no one in America gives a d@mn about either one of them and to get their butts home and look after those eight kids.

Personally, I wish Nancy would call child protective services on them and have the kids removed from the home. I bet Jon and Kate would straight themselves out toot-sweet.

I found something interesting on an imdb message board tonight; it was a post titled "Who's as tough as Clint?" Here's a copy of the initial post:

I was just having a conversation with my friend about what a badass Tommy Lee Jones was, and it got me wondering. Actors like him, Clint Eastwood and Charles Bronson.. do they even exist anymore? I'm talking actors that built a career and reputation around being mean as hell bastards that don't take not *beep* from no one. Think about the current crop of leading men. Is there a single one of them worthy of taking Clint's mantle, now that his acting days are behind him? My friend mentioned Samuel L Jackson, but he's badass in a very comical sort of way. He lapses into self parody so often that it's hard to take him seriously any longer.

Tell me who you think, out of this current active crop of actors (of any age), or any deceased actors who deserve comparison with Clint.

Pardon me while I puke.

Tommy Lee Jones is a badass? And Samuel L Jackson? Puh-leeez!

Then someone else had the audacity to mention Keanu Reeves. Keanu Reeves is about as big of a badass as Ned Flanders.

Now the funny thing is that someone later on in the thread developed a "BA Scale" (Badass Scale) where they rate the stars of certain movies based on their level of badassness.

For instance, the inventor of the aforemention BA scale compared Harrison Ford to Al Pacino.

Harrison Ford is a badass (not in MY opinion, but the poster's opinion) in the Indiana Jones movies, Star Wars series, Blade Runner, and Apocalypse Now.

On the other hand, Al Pacino is a badass in Donnie Brasco, Heat, The Godfather Series, Scarface, and Dog Day Afternoon. Therefore, (in the poster's opinion), Al Pacino is a bigger badass than Harrison Ford.

Ok....I'll give him props for that. But then, he has the audacity to post that Al Pacino is giving Clint Eastwood a run for his money in badassness.

Excuse me?
Clint is badass in:
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Hang 'Em High
Fist Full of Dollars
For A Few Dollars More
The Outlaw Josie Wales
High Plains Drifter
Dirty Harry
The Enforcer
Magnum Force
Sudden Impact
The Dead Pool
The Gauntlet
Pale Rider
Gran Torino

I rest my case. Clint is King Badass.

Now Nancy Grace just might be the one to give Clint some badass competition.

Well...that was fun.

More later....I be tired so I be going to bed.

For anyone that cares, Amazon dropped their price on kindles today to $259.....$279 if you want international wireless.
