So I saw The Hangover a couple of weekends ago. As the post title says, Instant Classic. I think this movie will surely be what all bachelor parties are measured against. It was crazy funny and I think I'll have to buy it simply to hear some of the lines again. "I'm sure you get this question all the time, but did Caesar actually live here?" - Checking into Caesar's Palace in Vegas. :) Classic! "It's not a purse, it's a satchel. Indiana Jones wears one." Oh they just get better and better. It should say something that this movie was relegated to one of the smaller theaters since it's been out a bit and it was still almost full of people. Awesome.
So we had to travel back to LA last week due to a death in the family. Sad, but it went as well as you could expect. Got to see a lot of the relatives and eat some good food. Well, on the way home got stuck in Mobile, Alabama...for two and a half hours. This is why people make jokes about Alabama. The great state of Alabama took a six-lane highway and merged it into two lanes to go through the nifty tunnel. Well, obviously the drivers thought it was a good idea to merge conscientiously. Not so much, so we got stuck waiting to get through this traffic jam while these buttheads raced to the point where they were forced to merge and cut in front of people. Gotta love it. I'm surprised there aren't more instances of road rage on I-10.

Tragedy Abounds
Well, you can't turn on a television, radio, pick up a paper or look at the internet today without seeing some sort of coverage of Michael Jackson's funeral. While any death has a certain sadness about it, I don't know if his death garners the type of media coverage it is currently generating. I find it ironic that there is so much news coverage of his funeral when there wasn't this much coverage of his life in the last decade or so. He was a great singer and performer, weird but good, and his legacy is sure to live on forever but do I think we need 24/7 inundation by the media of his funeral? No. Sad part is there was story about 8 soldiers dying in 2 days in Afghanistan but it was waaayyyyyy down the page from Michael Jackson, Steve McNair and Sarah Palin. Think we have our priorities skewed a bit? I'm just saying.
Now hearing about Steve McNair's death was a shocker. Found out about that on the radio as we drove from Louisiana back to Hurricane Central, aka FL. Then it comes out he's still married but was dating this 20-year-old waitress who may or may not have committed a murder/suicide on him and herself. See this should be another cautionary tale about who you fool around with as her family and friends are telling the media that she was telling them that he was leaving his wife and marrying her, etc. Haven't heard that one before right? Have these men not seen Fatal Attraction? Have they not heard of Amy Fisher? Guys, if you're going to cheat on your wife with some young thing, especially if you're rich and/or famous, and tell her you're leaving your wife and you don't, things could get messy. The media said they met while she was waiting tables at Dave & Buster's when he was dining there with his family. Tacky. What's wrong with these people? Ugh. Sorry Steve, I know you didn't deserve to die for just happening along some psycho hosebeast but man, cautionary tale.
On a lighter note, Sarah Palin resigned from the governor's office of Alaska. If I were an Alaskan I wouldn't know if I should be happy or worried. Look, everyone is talking about the possibility of her running for President in 2012. I was scared when she was running for Vice-President in 2008. It's not because she's a woman, because I'm a woman and know that a woman can do the job just as well as a man as long as she's equally qualified, but because she seems not all there. Any woman that winks at the camera during a vice-presidential debate seems a) patronizing and b) slightly goofy. Also, if she's not able to fulfill her duties in the governor's office, what makes the GOP think she would be able to fulfill the duties of the President of the United States? Hello? She said that the Letterman jokes contributed to her stepping down. Seriously? Basically, they called you and your kid a name and you're quitting? It's not nice but you're in a public office for the world to see. What did you expect? Poor Chelsea Clinton got called all kinds of names and you didn't see everyone jumping down the throats of the media. You get over it. Is that how the office of the POTUS would be run if you were there? "Iran said we were horrible people, I'm quitting." Yeah, that would totally work. Why are people still listening to this woman? Her fifteen minutes of fame was up llllloooonnnnnggggg ago.
