Nice Hat, Dick.

You have to admit that at least former Vice President Dick Cheney played the part well.  When you’re considered the quintessential bad guy you damn well better be wearing a Black Hat.  Cheney sure didn’t disappoint by wearing one to the Inauguration and he had a cane.  What are the odds the cane had one of those retractable blades in it?.

It’s good to see everyone is playing their part today.

Patrick J. Fitzgerald: Supercop.

For those keeping score at home here’s Supercop Patrick J. Fitzgerald’s record:

  • Governors:  2-0
  • Vice President’s Chief of Staff: 1-0
  • Reporters: 5-0
  • Canadian Media Moguls: 1-0
  • Mafia Bosses:  1-0
  • Terrorist Masterminds: 1-0
  • Chicago City Clerk: 1-0
  • Real Estate Tycoon: 1-0

That’s 12-0.  In other words he’s a 9 on the Badass Scale.

The Sky Is Indeed Falling.

To me this video is simply fascinating.  These guys are literally laughing at this guy… literally laughing as if he is wearing one of those placards that says the world is going to end.  As I am currently (and subtly) searching for a home I would love some to explain to me why this statement is illogical:

If a home can raise $35,000 in value in 14 months it can drop $35,000 in value in 25 months.
