I recently finished the 2 season run of the old NBC series "Life" (on Hulu), about a cop who gets framed for a triple murder, is sentenced to life in prison, gets out on new evidence sues the city for $100,000,000, and gets his job back with backpay and promotion to detective. Loved it.

RFN, I'm watching "John Doe", about a guy who wakes up naked on an island off Seattle, knowing everything about everything, except who he is. Meh, take it or leave it.

Recently watched "God Bless America" on Netflix. Let me say now: Netflix is a pain in the ass. I almost gave up trying to get it to work on my 'puter. Gotta have Silverlight to watch anything.

Back to "God Bless America"; ƒucking loved this movie. First, it has one of my favorite actors as the star/protagonist, Joel Murray. It wasn't what I thought it was going to be. This movie made so many good points about what we (the American public) have become, that I stopped counting at 17. No shit.

Spoiler alert: These are the types of people the guy thinks needs to be shot:

People who take up two parking spaces
People who talk in theaters during movies
People who say 'Namaste'
People who high five
Spoiled brats
People who pound energy drinks all day

Frank: I am offended. Not because I got a problem with bitter, predictible, whining millionaire disc jockeys complaining about celebrities or how tough their life is, while I live in an apartment with paper-thin walls next to a couple of Neanderthals who, instead of a baby, decided to give birth to some kind of nocturnal civil defense air raid siren that goes off every fucking night like it's Pearl Harbor.

I hate that baby. I hate his stupid, fat face.

Frank: [On the air] My name is Frank. That's not important. The important question is: who are you? America has become a cruel and vicious place. We reward the shallowest, the dumbest, the meanest and the loudest. We no longer have any common sense of decency. No sense of shame. There is no right and wrong. The worst qualities in people are looked up to and celebrated. Lying and spreading fear is fine as long as you make money doing it. We've become a nation of slogan-saying, bile-spewing hatemongers. We've lost our kindness. We've lost our soul. What have we become? We take the weakest in our society, we hold them up to be ridiculed, laughed at for our sport and entertainment. Laughed at to the point, where they would literally rather kill themselves than live with us anymore.
