Weekend open thread

I’m not any more a fan of home schooling than the next guy, but this is ridiculous.

Did I miss the shortage of black actors that led to Robert Downey Jr. being cast as a black man?

I don’t know what YOU were doing when you were 8, but I bet you didn’t get into law school.

Obama says “no” to being Hillary’s VP.

Note to golfers: Aim for the hole, not the birds.

    funny thought of the day…

    I scored this on ebay. (http://i7.ebayimg.com/02/i/000/dc/16/a8cc_1.JPG)

    Zell boldfaces his proclamation of being a “progressive”.

    In fact says “I am progressive“.

    Yes it was in bold.

    Yes, I probably shouldn’t be shocked, but since he was a pit bull going after all types of corruption when he was AG, I guess I just expected more of him.

    I’m shocked too, but not sure why we should be. The oldest profession and all…

    It sounds like he was a client, not anything more. Certainly not the first one, probably not the last.

    Re: Spitzer. When I usually say I’m shocked…shocked I tell you, I am 99.99% of the time saying it in a snarky fashion, but this time I am absolutely shocked…shocked I tell you! Holy cow!

    Waiting for the video….

    Obama in Columbus MS today..

    ‚ÄúNow first of all with all due respect, with all due respect,” he said here during a town hall meeting. “I won twice as many states as Sen. Clinton. I won more of the popular vote than Sen. Clinton. I have more delegates than Sen. Clinton. So I don‚Äôt‚Äô know how someone in second place can offer the vice presidency to someone in first place. If I was in second place I could understand but I am in first place right now.

    “You can’t say he is not ready on day one, then you want him to be your vice president,” Obama continued. “I just want everybody to absolutely clear: I am not running for vice president. I am running to be president of the United States of America.”

    I caught a snippet on CNN yesterday afternoon: the little girl asleep in bed in Hillary Clinton‚Äôs 3 am/red phone ad is now a 17 year-old working hard for Obama! As she said, life’s little ironies.

    About Robert Downey Jr new role:

    “In Tropic Thunder, an epic action comedy co-written and directed by Stiller, Robert Downey Jr. plays Kirk Lazarus, a very serious Oscar-winning actor cast in the most expensive Vietnam War film ever. Problem is, Lazarus’s character, Sgt. Osiris, was originally written as black. So Lazarus decides to dye his skin and play Osiris”
