I didn’t write a Howdygram post yesterday for one reason and one reason only: I just couldn’t get motivated. I’m still redesigning my Ovation Creative website and try to get back to it every time I have a couple of hours with nothing else to do, which actually happens a LOT around here. In-between I spent most of the afternoon involved in three additional worthwhile projects: 1) watching old movies; 2) taking a nap; and 3) eating.
One of the old movies was Dangerous Blondes (1943) starring Evelyn Keyes, Allyn Joslyn and former silent-era leading man Edmund Lowe. Dangerous Blondes is your typical “suspense comedy” — imagine The Thin Man series with a B-list cast and shitty script — that’s rated in our U-Verse cable guide with THREE AND A HALF STARS. That’s the same rating they give Ben-Hur and a half-star higher than Lawrence of Arabia. Holy mother of crap. Can they be serious?
In the national news today is another story about convicted pedophile and child molester Jerry Sandusky. You know, the evil cretin who’s currently serving 60 years in federal prison for repeatedly abusing 10 boys over a period of 15 years.
Sandusky’s defense team, pictured below, will be in court today in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, to launch an appeal that could — but certainly won’t — reverse his sentence and let him walk, and their reasons are borrowed from a Three Stooges script. Curly, Moe and Larry plan to argue that: 1) there was insufficient evidence to convict him; and 2) the court didn’t allow them enough time to prepare for trial after the prosecution flooded them with evidence.
Okay, so which is it? Insufficient evidence or TOO MUCH? To help me deal with the frustration I might have to make another batch of CarbQuik One-Step Biscuits this morning. This time I’m thinking about McDonald’s sausage biscuit knockoffs.
If you’d like to join me please send an email and let me know. You can either stop by before noon, after which they’ll certainly all be gone, or I’ll be glad to attach one to an email for you. Thank you for reading this.
