There’s no motivation/reasoning behind the post other than…

a) our dinner plans being “ruined” tonight by some Puerto Rican “parade” that obnoxiously ran down the same street as the restaurant we were going to eat at in Humboldt Park.

and…

b) the following clip being one of the best movie scenes (if not the best movie) of our generation.

You’ll want headphones if you’re at work but it’s a YouTube clip so what’s the worst that could happen?

The real lesson begins at 4:56 into the clip. Without further ado, “Fuck You” scene from the 25th Hour…

“Mr. McCain, the expected Republican nominee, also said that “under Senator Obama’s tax plan, Americans of every background would see their taxes rise — seniors, parents, small-business owners and just about everyone who has even a modest investment in the market.” He used much the same language in an April 15 speech in which he warned that Democrats “are going to raise your taxes by thousands of dollars per year,” adding up to “a trillion dollars in new taxes over the next decade.”

Economists of various ideological persuasions, however, view Mr. McCain’s assessment as inaccurate or exaggerated. Some question whether Mr. Obama’s tax plan can even be characterized as an increase. Some also argue that contrary to Mr. McCain’s assertions, the Democrat’s proposals, if enacted, would actually reduce taxes for the middle class — the voters both candidates see as the key to victory.”

Conor, nice find.

Day of “posting silence” tomorrow for Tim Russert/Meet the Press – yada, yada.

A playa to be named later requested I post a huge penis on the blog. That said, I’m now openly – what? – taking blog posting requests. The crowd reactions in the picture from Purdue University are pretty funny.

Mom, look away.

Safe enough for work.
