National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. Best. Xmas. Movie. Ever.
“It’s gonna be the hap-hap-happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap danced with Danny Fuckin’ Kay. And when Santa squeezes his fat white ass down the chimney tonight, he’s gonna find the jolliest bunch of assholes this side of the nuthouse.”
“Name a Christmas movie that doesn’t glorify the little guy and vilify accomplishment.”
Answer: “It’s a Wonderful Life”. The whole point of the movie, as I see it, is to show what can happen to society if those in power don’t live up to their responsibility (and by responsibility, I don’t mean hand-outs). It shows what power can accomplish, that it can be a force for good. What’s so lefty about that?
Die Hard! Yes! Thanks DH.

I’m with DH- what a heartwarming family movie Die Hard is 😉

The Zadroga Bill is supposed to be voted on today. let’s see if Congress does the right thing.
They will, as long as the Democrats don’t attach another tax bill on corporations to it; which is what prevented it from passing last time.
My cousin, Kirsten G, seems to have seen the light and ironed it all out.
I was looking up essays on a Christmas Carol the other night at work and and the descriptions of its meaning were quite touching.
“Name a Christmas movie that doesn’t glorify the little guy and vilify accomplishment.”
I never realized that greed=accomplishment. Thanks for the insight, Lech.
