You Need to Eat Bitter to Taste Sweet*

Now that I've depressed everyone, let me link this bit from KerrySpot showing that Bush leads in all tracking polls released this morning.


Ace, I like you, but I don't like-like you.
I'm sorry, but all I can offer you is a purely
physical relationship.

* If anyone knows what movie this is from, I swear, I will literally plotz.

Literally.

And I don't know what plotz means exactly, so it's going to be tricky.

Oh man, what the heck was that movie? Was it the one with the figure skaters?

Fear not the voters, but the frauds. I don't know if the futures markets have dope on fraud prospects, but they sure like Dubya's:

Is it from George C. Scott's big speech at the start of "Patton"?

Waynes world 2?

Posted by: A-AMISH on November 2, 2004 12:27 PM

It's taken from the movie "Tootsie", imo.

Posted by: Ken on November 2, 2004 12:30 PM

Nope, nope, nope.

I'll give a hint: It's from a small-budget, virtually unknown but critically-well-regarded martial arts film/drama.

Karate Kid 3?

Posted by: jamie r. on November 2, 2004 12:45 PM

Ah-hem.

Jamie, I don't think Karate Kid 3 was critically well-regarded.

Wasn't that the one with the insane pony-tailed global mogul who just also happened to be a karate master?

Are you sure it wasn't The Sphynx from Mystery Men?

Posted by: David on November 2, 2004 12:53 PM

I would venture that the early polls trend for Bush because of people voting before they go to work. The Core Dems (aka 'jobless wonders') are having breakfast right now (they just crawled up from their parents basements a few minutes ago).

CBS of course will announce several states for Kerry at 5 pm ET, even though the polls will still be open for hours.

Posted by: lauraw on November 2, 2004 12:54 PM

Yep, that's the one.

I suppose if he, uh, mogulled at an early age, he'd have a lot of free time for training.

Posted by: jamie r. on November 2, 2004 12:57 PM

"plotz"=simultaneously imploding and exploding

T'ain't pretty.

The movie is Tuff Turf. This sicko:
http://www.kimrichards.net/start.html
Has about fifteen million pics from all her movies, with about 200 from that particular one. Go crazy, Ace.

Posted by: McGurk on November 2, 2004 01:11 PM

The movie is Tuff Turf

C'mon, now. Can't be. That would be a cosmic coincidence of frightening dimensions.

The movie I'm getting it from is, um, well gee, I forget the title now, and I can't seem to google it up. I thought it was Lace and Steel, or Steel and Lace, or something similar to that (steel and something which is soft and used in martial arts), but Lace and Steel seems to be the title of an entirely different movie.

Anyone know what the hell I'm talking about? It's an early-nineties semi-autobiographica. independent movie which about a young man's journey to China with the backdrop of the cultural opening of the eighties, and then the closing of that openness, mixed with martial arts training (and fights), and starring an actual big-time martial arts instructor as his instructor in the film (who was also his instructor in real life, IIRC). I think that cat's name was Master Pan-- Master somebody, at least.

Posted by: ace on November 2, 2004 01:33 PM

Okay, I found it. It's Iron and Silk.

Pretty close to Steel and Lace.

Good movie, if an odd one, and low-budget starring no one at all.

Mr. Plotz: he was the director of the Warner Bros. studios

Here's a clip

Tucker Carlson claims that it's weird that Ted Cruz is interested in the massacre of Christians by Nigerian Muslims, because he has "no track record of being interested in Christians," then blows off the massacre of Christians by Nigerian Muslims, saying it might or might not be a real concern
Tucker Carlson enjoys using the left-wing tactic of "Tactical Ignorance" to avoid taking positions on topics. Is Hamas really a terrorist organization? Tucker can't say. He hasn't looked into it enough, but "it seems like a political organization to me." Are Muslims slaughtering Christians in Nigeria? Again, Tucker just doesn't know. He hasn't examined the evidence yet. He knows every Palestinian Christian who said he was blocked from visiting holy sites in Bethlehem, but he just hasn't had the time to look into the mass slaughter of Christians in Nigeria that has been going on since (checks watch) 2009. He doesn't know, so he can't offer an opinion. Wouldn't be prudent, you know? Don't rush him! He'll sift through the evidence at some point in the future and render an opinion sometime around 2044.
Of course, if you need an opinion on Jewish Perfidy, he has all the facts at his fingertips and can give you a fully informed opinion pronto. Say, have you ever heard of the USS Liberty incident...?
You'd think that the main issue for Tucker Carlson, who pretends to be so deeply concerned about Palestinian Christians being bullied by Jews in Israel (supposedly), would be the massacre of 185,000 Christians in Nigeria itself. But no, his main problem is that Ted Cruz is talking about it, "who has no track record of being interested in Christians at all." And then he just shrugs as to whether this is even a real issue or not.
Whatever we do we must never "divide the right," huh?
Tucker is attacking Ted Cruz for bringing the issue up because he's acting as an apologist for Jihadism, and he can't cleanly admit that Jihadists are killing any Christians, anywhere. There is no daylight between him and CAIR at this point.
One might conclude that Tucker Carlson himself isn't interested in the plight of Christians -- except as they can be used as a cudgel to attack Jews.
Just gonna ask an Interesting Question myself -- why is it that Tucker Carlson's arguments all track with those shit out by Qatarian propaganda agents and the far left? That if Jews crush an ant underfoot it is worldwide news, but when Muslims slaughter Christians it elicits not even a vigorous shrug?
Garth Merenghi is interviewed by the only man who can fathom his ineffable brilliance -- Garth Merenghi
From the comments:
I once glimpsed Garth in the penumbra betwixt my wake and sleep. He was in my dream, standing afar, not looking my way, nor did he acknowledge me. But I felt seen. And that's when I knew I was a traveler on the right path. I'm glad he's still with us.

Now that's some Merenghian prose.
Garth Merenghi on the writer's craft

Greetings, Traveler. If you still have not experienced Garth Merenghi -- Author, Dream-weaver, Visionary, plus Actor -- the six episodes of his Darkplace are still available on YouTube and supposedly upscaled to HD. (Viewing it now, it doesn't appeared upscaled for shit.)
I think the second episode, "Hell Hath Fury," is the best by a good margin. Try to at least watch through to that one. It's Mereghi's incisive but nuanced take on sexism.
