You want truth? Here is some truth; blogging everyday is not as easy as you think. The more you write the same type of things the more the stuff you are writing feels the same. So today I want to change things up a little bit and add a bit more latitude to the scope of stuff I talk about. I am still going to annoy the shit out of everybody with my terrible movie and television recommendations, now with some social commentary sprinkled in for just that extra bit of pucker effect when you see a new post. So clench up folks it is going to be a bumpy ride, cause I sure as shit don’t know where this is going.

 To tell you just how wacky shit is going to get today’s movie is Gung Ho, yes the terrible 80’s movie with Mr. Mom. Why Gung Ho, well a few reasons one it is terrible, but in a good way. It is a Ron Howard effort and you can see his joy in the movie. It is lighthearted and entertaining if forgettable fare. That is it, that is all it is, not much I know. What is interesting was the location of the movie and how it resonates especially in today’s economic reality.

Detroit Rock City

The movie is based in a factory town that was about to lose its factory. When one of the soon to be ex-employees gets the idea to have the Japanese company who bought them out have them instead shift production to their factory. The story line was based on the idea that American ingenuity will overcome American indifference.

 Transport this story to today and the same situation is playing out all over the country, except in the real world it is American owned companies who are moving their manufacturing overseas and not overseas companies shutting down American factories. They don’t need our companies with American manufacturing to shut down, because American manufacturing is an endangered species.

Did the taxpayers pay for this sign...really?

Do I have a point to make here; sure I do, but fuck that noise make your own opinion. Mine is straight forward, stop legislating morality, stop fighting half-measure wars, spend more on schools then prisons, and make sure that everybody has access to doctors. That is it my whole plan. I know, I am a fucking genius, just like Michael Keaton in the movie.
