An owl sits in the plum tree
And she doesn't know
I'm glad she's here.
This is as good as it gets
And it gets this good
Every day.

Now that we are less than a week away from the ascendancy of Next President Barack Obama, it's time we started lining up the 2012 contest. Who better to lead the Republicans and run against BHO in 2012 than Governor Sarah Palin? Maybe we can even recruit Sean Hannity, Rev. Rick Warren or David Duke as her running mate?

This B Movie, The Big Racket, has slipped into the public domain. It includes this action sequence, with some of the funniest over-acting I've ever seen in any movie. This film has bathos to spare. I wish I could find a copy of the entire movie. . .(hint, hint, all you DIVX hackers). . .
