Hugh Grant in "The Rewrite" just released on DVD is entertaining.
There is a struggle in the sky too. The dark, flat-bottomed clouds are forming; the rest are dying.
Watched the HBO documentary about Scientology last night. excellent film.
Made a birthday cake from scratch today, along with some outstanding barbeque sauce. Personally picked the vegetables for the sauce. Went to the butcher for some nice ribs, and filled up the trophy wifes’ suv on the way home.
Took a break and cleaned the bathrooms while the cake was baking. Put the ribs in the oven and mowed the front and back yards. Figured I might as well pull all those weeds while I was out there.
Still waiting on the ribs, I washed the two trucks and four cars. You hafta dry them or they get water spots.
Put out all the birthday stuff and frosted the cake.
The wife and teenage girls did their Iphone and tv stuff.
After festivities, and doing all the cleanup by myself, the 13 year came out to the garage and educated me.
“Grandpa, what you did today was very passive aggressive, and we all know it”
Kids’ say the darnest things!
I just laughed and finished rebuilding the carburetor on the ‘78 Bronco while the ladies caught up on their facebookin’.
@JulieC,
I've heard that a few wealthy friends of Scientology have made it nearly impossible for a Hollywood film to say anything negative about Scientology.
Oddly, I didn't know that PBS had done anything about Scientology.
Was it positive, negative, or more complex than a simple good/bad description?
@JulieC,
now I feel like a fool...
HBO, not PBS.
Odd, and interesting.
NW PA weather:

Althouse: Come for the commentary, stay for the photography!
Is John Boehner the Greatest Spender of Them All?
Who will spend more as Speaker than John, all Speakers from here on out?
Democrats will rightly claim in 5 months John Boehner has lead us into $19 T (I can't do the whole "number" thing when it comes to trillions because it is too much in terms of typing and reception of such an effort) debt and he's controlled Congress since 2010 so don't blame Democrats for debt.
Gina Geardennieo from New Hampshire is even on record as seeing debt as a huge threat and demanding an end to it, from roughly 2010.
Deep derp "Democrats wanted to raise the debt and made John Boehner spend more than any Speaker has ever dreamed of spending" derp derp Republicans contra Cheney think "deficits matter" when we all know they don't.
They don't collect because they haven't the power to challenge our terms, so spend it all conceivable when in power.
Barack has started the end of this Bush league "spend us to Hell" idiocy, and I am mitigating pain from it as we speak.
I find it humorous in this age of Powerful Lies and the distribution methods known, people doubt, %^!& it would DARE to doubt, my prognostications.
Democrats win by placing debt blame on John "Speaker" Boehner. The facts back Leftists in soundbytes so that is what they use to win.
Cat was out of the bag in the fucking 1920's and shit, now we got Panther's inside your domicile.
If you were not concientous (sorry auto spell...) of radio, despite warnings and reported deaths via Wisonsin native Mr. Orson Welles, and the Devil's Device Television, and warnings of pagers in the 1980's, warnings about email and the Internet and browsers and Dark Webs and all I can say where the fuck are the locusts?
Those whom speak of woman shaming and then proceed to man-shaming is humorous enough to be conceived spoofilly, or is it spooffilly?
Spoofily brevity.
Spooffily?
UPDATE: I have received a message "no replacement found" which is why folks pay too much for Apple.
UPDATE TWO: If people gladly wait in lines to pay it the company should charge way more for three months access to those that buy in line day 1/2/3... 12 times after-90-days release cost point.
They will status themselves to the level of me!!!
Go Apple!!!!!!!
You can do it.
Remember when the Speaker was a "fourth branch" of government?
It was meant to convey an extra special olive-branch to consolidating power in one individual, diametrically opposed to our Founding Fathers words and wisdom and clear vision.
Unfuckingclouded.
Boehner's best legacy: I tried and did better than anyone else could have done against the most incredible American phenomoma ever President Obama.
Everybody and all the fucking debt deficit spending is always so fucking exceptional.
Fucking bullshit.
I used to link cumulus.hillsdale.com/Buckley or cumuluos.hillsdale.edu/Buckley all the time.
It hit me, though I keep drinking, that Buckley wouldn't associate with me.
The worse thing is if by chance he had.
What if I might have met William F. Buckley Jr. when he had had a bad day?
By God I think I would have gotten by, per Lincoln.
Copernicus, Atlas, fucking Khan, most of the Mings, the Kennedys, the Johnsons, the Roosevelts, the Rockefelleras, the Smiths, the Z's, the Gates, the Jobs, the Chavez, the more I know the more ignorant I get.
Biblical, but as is everything Biblical this is Biblical.
So...
There is rarely an opportune time to be able to say you have two ideas, so separate they cry out for a decent alignment, in a single brain.
Unimaginable money shall henceforth be spent upon my development of your two brains.
That is why I forgot.
Yeah, that's the ticket.
Jon Lovitzt Alcohols!
Biden reads me and thinks "ha I got Buckley good, almost as good as I got Clarence Thomas before he got confirmed."
So is all I worship power, via Clarence Thomas?
Why wouldn't I choose the easy middle choices, Breyer or Kennady?
You have little to fallback on, most extremely UnCruz.
Hugh Hewitt will tell ya: raise those taxes.
Good gosh darn that other side won't just pay to keep us safe so we gotta do it.
We gotta keep us safe.
So throw the funds that way, this way, the other way, the way behind there too, just throw the money: we gotta be safe.
Every single cent would have prevented:
ALL THAT TERRORISM cheapies.
Listen to Hewitt, he will tell you 10,000 times and then you'll do it.
So don't hate on our military bro. Just listen to Hugh and open your wallet cheapie.
Every dime spent on Air Force vanity is because you lack gravitas, every gallon of fuel at above market rates is simply R and D that ultimately pays off (!), every Leftist general order without Generals of Faith, since Fired like General Petreaus, to disrupt-other.
Richard Epstein podcast on Indiana and religious freedom.
I haven't listened to it yet, because I'm recording streaming Imus until 10:00, so Althouse and I will hear it together.
I'm hoping he explains once more the differnce between monopoly markets and competitive markets as they apply to civil rights and freedom of association, as to priority.
But who knows.
Beautiful photos!
I am waiting for rhhardin's blog on Romantic Comedies.

There are so few that are not formula, after watching 200 of them.
The Rewrite is interesting as self-referential, in addition to Hugh Grant's excellent quips, on what the film formula is in general.
The inspiration was Stanley Cavell on film, usually remarriage comedies.
What I prefer, as the difficulty to be overcome, is antagonistic opposites that discover that opposites fit.
Some play at it; only Two Weeks Notice actually works it.
The bad ones tend to portray the guy as a slob who turns out to be nice.
The pure form is an analogy of men and women being different.
Very beautiful - thanks
Beautiful pictures, Ann.
You have an eye.
I think that Much Ado About Nothing was the originator of the form of romantic comedy.
The Epstein was pretty on-point and worth a listen.
He left out the explanation of why competitive markets didn't work with racial discrimination, namely private violence enforcing it.
Most people wanted to serve blacks. As if the railroads wanted to segregate into white and black cars when they crossed into the South, or motel chains wanted to; and there's more money in serving without discrimination the more discrimination there is. The market self-cures it, if it's allowed to operate.
The civil rights law, by enforcing nondiscrimination, overrode private violence as a threat in that case. It was forcing business to do what it already wanted to do.
This is not the case in wedding cakes.
Although "ice regresses" could be defended, "ice recedes" would conform to Standard American English usage.
nice photos as usual, ann.
