Keeping Mum

TOO LATE MOVIE REVIEWS

Keeping Mum

If you haven't seen this 2005 release, and enjoy droll British humor, try Keeping Mum.  It's the story of a vicar's new housekeeper who helps family members out -- in her own way.  My advice is to avoid watching the trailer, because it cobbles together scenes that completely misrepresent the tone and tenor of the film.  Rowan Atkinson, for instance, would ordinarily never be associated with droll,  and the trailer leads us to expect Mr. Bean>  Nope, he plays his role as vicar very nicely, but as the straight man. (sample). Maggie Smith is always delightful, and she is here as "serial mom." The rest of the cast, which includes Patrick Swayze,  are quite up to the task.  A quite enjoyable couple of hours. It's an instant PLAY on NET FLIX

Merrily knows that MoSup wants us to take ballroom dancing lessons, and forwarded this as inducement. “ You might want to re-think those ballroom dancing classes... ”

Meet Pete

Pete thinks he'd make a good Sec/Commerce.  "I've never paid any income tax, but I've also never had any income."  Wish him luck.

Mau Mau

Grandpa Hussein Onyango Obama and the Mau Mau.

Actual real Kenyan Mau-Mau. Can we talk?  Here's how it is with me.  When I saw John Wayne being attacked by Japs in say, Sands of Iwo Jima, or by Injuns in say, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, I rooted for Wayne and the U.S.  When I watched the Brits being attacked by hordes of African savages in say, Zulu, I cheered as the Red Coats mowed them down. Of course, I understand that today's Zulu mofos would prolly be throwing Milk Duds at the screen, but  so what?  I'm telling you this, using contentious language, because Chrissie has a post about President Obama returning a bust of Winston Churchill that graced the Oval Office, and it  pisses me off.  It further emphasizes the rift between Western culture and the third world.  The rift between Americans and the filthy left. “ The bronze by Sir Jacob Epstein, worth hundreds of thousands of pounds if it were ever sold on the open market, enjoyed pride of place in the Oval Office during President Bush's tenure. But when British officials offered to let Mr Obama to hang onto the bust for a further four years, the White House said: "Thanks, but no thanks. ” The British Army kicked Mau-Mau ass during their Kenyan uprising. Among the asses kicked, evidently, was Grampa Hussein Onyango Obama's. Winston was British. 'Nuff said.

Where I explain stuff

“How Much For the Little Girl?”

The guys at the liquor store are always saying, "Rodge, how is it that you're such a keen, always spot-on, observer of political perfidy, when others don't see, or even care, that Obama is an illegal alien puppet foisted upon us by people bent on bringing the United States down to the level of Brussels or Ethiopia?" It's simple, I'm always thinking. Even after, especially after, 5 or 6 Bourbon Manhattans. Like this morning.  This Wall Street Journal  story, Obama's Rhetoric Is the Real 'Catastrophe'   is about Obama using fear mongering to raise the specter of another Great Depression. “ First, he did so to win votes in the November election. He has done so again recently to sway congressional votes for his stimulus package.       ” This isn't news.  Democrats always employ their version of  crisis management  - create one from air, then manage to offer a solution that only they are willing to spend our money to solve.  But, here's what I saw  explained in a heart-beat.  The Obama-Caroline Kennedy alliance. You'll remember that Obama turned the public perception of Caroline from "the darling little Kennedy girl,"  to "stupid Liberal twat"  in  just a few days during the campaign.  He needed the JFK association, because without achievements of his own, Obama cloaks himself in other's. Ted was by then quite brain dead, so he set about seducing Caroline Kennedy.  For the Magic Negro, this was as easy as a gigolo working a Fort Lauderdale condo.  They were, together, the "Prince and Princess" of the American Left.  Obama whipped out his promise of Hillary's Senate seat - the Sec/State deal having already been struck, in return for the Clinton's silence about certain embarrassing truths they'd collected about him.  "But Barry," Caroline is said to have squealed,, "I've never had a public life.  I wouldn't know what to say."  To which Obama replied, "I'll teach you."  Which explains ... “ Obama answering the tough questions Caroline answering the tough questions Uhh,  well look, uh .... uh ....  (embarrassing silence) I've always said that, um .... uh ... Uhh,  well look, uh .... uh ....  (embarrassing silence) I've always thought, um .... uh ... ” It takes about 80 years of practice, so don't try this at home.
