Friday Stuff

RIP Omar Sharif – kind of funny that, as he recounted in an interview with somebody at some point, he really didn’t consider himself as a candidate for the lead role in “Dr. Zhivago,” but was thinking more along the lines of the scoundrel Komarovsky, the role that went to Rod Steiger in the movie, but director Sir David Lean wanted Sharif in the lead all along…liked the depiction of what it’s like to be a writer in the movie…Sharif also once recounted what a tough time he had getting his hair straightened for the role – thought he was great as Sherif Ali in “Lawrence of Arabia” too…



…and hey, pick up your damn trash, my fellow Pennsylvanians (here), or else you might get a visit from this guy (heh)…



…and leave it to our corporate media to immediately rush to the aid of the “party of Lincoln” in the wake of the massive federal employee data breach (Jason Chaffetz is a damn idiot) – yeah, maybe the resignation of OPM’s Katherine Archuleta is a good idea, but do you want to hear another good idea? HOW ABOUT GETTING RID OF THE DAMN SEQUESTER ALREADY AND FUNDING OUR GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES THE WAY THEY SHOULD BE FUNDED (and I call this a good first step)…



...and while everyone is now beating up the FBI for supposedly being responsible for allowing the maniac Dylann Roof to purchase the handgun he used to (allegedly, let's not forget) murder nine people in Charlestown, SC (here), how about if we ask why South Carolina has not yet required a "permit to purchase" from law enforcement before anyone buys a weapon of death (here) - doing so might have disallowed Roof from orchestrating his evil (once again, allegedly)...

...and on this subject, get a load of the following quote from some asswipe named Gary Marbut, president of the Montana Shooting Sports Association (from HuffPo here)...

..."People need to assume personal responsibility for their own welfare, including personal safety, rather than expecting society or others to provide that for them."

…and whether you’re ready for it or not, here comes another installment of "This Day In Doomsy History" from about two years ago (kind of a bit of foreshadowing for the arrival of Pope Frank, to be honest...surprised this great clip from John Fugelsang is still available, actually)…



…and this song has a bit of a religious reference; haven’t put it up for a while – the wild T-storms last night cleared everything out for some nice weather including today – hope it’s a good weekend for you also.
