Most days I go to work and I'm a desk jockey. I work with spreadsheets and databases. And what did these guys do at work that day? They removed a LIVE BOMB from the patient's SKULL.

I always use dictator's as litmus tests for what I try and do. For example, if I were debating on whether or not video games are good or evil, and then somebody like Chavez weighs in, it makes my critical thinking so much easier:

I think I have found a new hobby.

I watch Marks Mothersbaugh every day on Yo Gabba Gabba with Lily, so this is extra funny.

Perhaps a come back for Jar Jar, though Seth Green promises "it won't suck". That sort of disclaimer does not bode well for you, sir.

Okay, so the guy has a role on House, arguably the best show on television right now and he leaves it to go work for Obama. Not what I would do, but hey, he's working for the president, so that's a nice resume builder. What reason should you quit working for the president? To make a 3- D holiday movie about weed-induced misadventures, naturally.

We always here about free speech. And it's really about freedom of expression. Free speech protection includes songs, paintings, television, images, nudity,  and unfortunately, anything Frank Rich at the New York Times has to say.
