Victory!

Yeah. I must admit that I was pretty worried about the whole Ford Center Tax thing passing. I think the fears were due to two things:

1. Apparently all 27,000 people who voted “No!” tried to post a comment in defense of Wanda Jo Peltier.

2. I figured that I probably jinxed everything when I was actually quoted in a Seattle-Times article regarding the vote.

Anyway, now that the tax has passed, I am relieved. I am relieved that the whole NBA thing is pretty much out of our city’s hands, and that if Seattle doesn’t screw things up, that we will eventually have our own NBA team complete with our own cheerleaders freshening up in new-and-improved locker rooms. I am also relieved to know that Wando Jo will have to continue to spend $6 on every $600 she spends at Christie’s Toy Box or Sam’s Club or Los Tacos.

This Movie Is Certain To Win Many Oscars

Hey everyone, I found the next awesome movie. It’s called “Beer For My Horses,” which is apparently the name of a Toby Keith song. Anyway, Variety describes the movie this way:

The title comes from Keith’s hit single, also features Rodney Carrington (also co-writer), Ted Nugent, Willie Nelson, Claire Forlani, Barry Corbin and Tom Skerritt.

Keith and Carrington play small-town deputies who embark on a wacky road trip to rescue their girlfriends from comically evil drug lords.

I don’t know about everyone else, but when I hear a movie that involves the words “Toby Keith” and “wacky road trip,” I think: Hollywood casting directors really know what they are doing.

This reminds me of the other new Oklahoma-related movies coming out this summer. One involves Al Eschbach as a badass former Navy Seal forced to stop an Al-Qaeda sleeper cell planning on blowing up the Empire State Building. The other is an indie flick starring Hinder as a struggling Emo band coming to terms with their homosexuality and deep love for each other.

It’s all just another day in the brilliant minds that run our entertainment industry.
