POTUS 45.25: Oh Jesus, What Now

Re: POTUS 45.25: Oh Jesus, What Now

Not a fan of Christmas story.

Read "Wanda Hickey's Night of Golden Memories," the book in which many of the events are told. Shep's brilliant -- an actual genius, maybe the only one in entertainment history.

Shep was a painfully insightful misanthrope but also affectionate without any pretense -- a rare combinations. I get a kick out of ACS being such a sentimental movie. He must be rolling with laughter in his ham radio hut in the sky. He understood the boundless ridiculousness of people and still liked them. I have tried to do that and, obviously, failed.

Shep's voice over WOR got me through my early teens. It was a lighthouse on the coast of sanity hanging desperately just on the edge of the vast sea of average dreck. He was my first public brother.

"There is so much to say about this country and so little said. There is only a valentine to something that never was."

"The great split running right down the center of mankind is between the urban man and the bucolic man -- the frontier and civilization."

Christmas Story is my favorite, just in front of Christmas Vacation.

There's the nostalgia, Sheperd's voice overs, the fact that my dad could be a fill in for Darren McGavin's character. I've been known to get into some heated arguments defending it, but I'm open to criticism as long as you don't try to make the world's worst argument that you don't like it because Ralphie is emotionally unstable while your favorite is The Santa Clause where the dad literally kidnaps his son, like a lady at work tried to make last week.

Well he’s a kid they tend to be emotional :D. I’ll admit I didn’t really “get” the movie the first time around and it got better on repeated viewings. I realize that’s not gonna be everyone’s experience though.
 
If the parents who were killed had a gun maybe they could have defended themselves. Classy of them to snitch on the guy and force their daughter to break up with him. It’s horrible they were killed, especially right before Christmas, but I think it’s safe to say they didn’t handle the situation very well.

Are you honestly this stupid? If so how do you live.

Screw it rot in hell. No joke dead serious.
