... and I gave you a kick and a rec.

But to be honest, I'm a bit disappointed. When I saw the thread title, I thought there was a new Die Hard movie about to be released.

"Die Hard Laughing" - Bruce Willis in the role he was born to play! Retired NYC cop, John McLean, hunts down a group of terrorists posing as stand-up comics - and hilarity ensues!"

It almost writes itself - well, in my own head, anyway.

Now that I read the headline I can see where you came to that conclusion.....I just came across "Died Hard Laughing" on Facebook this morning.

Might want to keep that potential screenplay under wraps, Hollywood is always in search of good material and wouldn't hesitate to plagerize....Then again there's beau coup $ to be made so there is that aspect....start writing!

... the Die Hard franchise given the Airplane! treatment.

Don't get me wrong - I love the Die Hard movies. But the series is ripe for an over-the-top satirical version.

Although he's known basically for action/thrillers, he's pretty versatile.

Most Democrats are in this profession because they want to help people. This is true of Democrats I've known, Democrats I only know through books. I just read Al Franken's book -- it's great. Whatever.

9. trump visits Israel

On a future visit to Israel, donald trump suffers a fatal heart attack. The Israeli government offers to bury trump in the Holy Land with full diplomatic honors for a head of state for $50,000. trump's aides huddle together to discuss their options and decide to decline the Israeli government's generous offer in favor of flying trump back to the USA for burial at a cost of $500,000.

The Israelis can't understand why trump's aides would refuse a burial in the Holy Land for one-tenth the price of bringing trump back to the USA.

trump's aides explain their reasoning to the Israelis, "We have heard there was once a man who was buried here and that three days later he arose from the dead. We just can't take that chance with trump."

... in Democracy, is bad for America. We need to stop undermining public confidence in representative government when we have an entire party trying to take control through authoritarianism.
