Give it up Already

If it wasn’t bad enough that Sylvester Stallone announced that he was going to make and star in Rocky VI, CNN.com, from the Hollywood Reporter, reported this morning that Stallone is also going to star in Rambo IV.

Sly, let it go. Let it go.

Below is the story that currently appears on CNN.com

Stallone to make another 'Rambo'
Star previously announced return to 'Rocky' franchise

LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) -- Sylvester Stallone is attached to star in "Rambo IV," the first film about the one-man killing machine since 1988.

Stallone, 59, recently announced he would revisit another franchise when he begins filming "Rocky Balboa," the sixth film in the 30-year-old boxing series, in December.

"Rambo IV" centers on former Vietnam vet John Rambo, who is living a reclusive life back home in the U.S. But when a girl goes missing, he is forced to abandon his quiet lifestyle and take justice into his own hands.

No director is attached, and the screenplay is in the early stages. The indepedently produced $50 million film is set to begin shooting in the spring in Mexico and the U.S.

Her 16th Kid?

I'm not sure how I feel about having kids, I think eventually I'd like to have kids but… (please see former shitbag post). Now my friend Sam, as soon as he gets married to Heidi, she’s going to want to be pregnant that first night.

Now, I do have someone who beats her, CNN.com reported yesterday on a woman who just had her 16th kids, and she stated that se wants more.

This woman is from Arkansas, and Heidi is from the mid-west so who knows what the future may hold for Sam and Heidi.

What ever happened to moderation, clearly we’re a country who doesn’t do anything in moderation.

Mom delivers 16th child, thinking of more

LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas (AP) -- Michelle Duggar just delivered her 16th child, and she's already thinking about doing it again.

Johannah Faith Duggar was born at 6:30 a.m. Tuesday and weighed 7 pounds, 6.5 ounces.
The baby's father, Jim Bob Duggar, a former state representative, said Wednesday that mother and child were doing well. Johannah's birth was especially exciting because it was the first time in eight years the family has had a girl, he said.
Jim Bob Duggar, 40, said he and Michelle, 39, want more children.

"We both just love children and we consider each a blessing from the Lord. I have asked Michelle if she wants more and she said yes, if the Lord wants to give us some she will accept them," he said in a telephone interview.

The Discovery Health Channel filmed Johannah's birth and plans to air a show about the family in May.

The Learning Channel is doing another show about the family's construction project, a 7,000-square foot house that should be finished before Christmas. The home, which the family from the northwest Arkansas town of Rogers has been building for two years, will have nine bathrooms, dormitory-style bedrooms for the girls and boys, a commercial kitchen, four washing machines and four dryers.

Jim Bob Duggar, who sells real estate, previously lost his bid for the U.S. Senate. He said he expects to run for the state Senate next year but isn't ready to make a formal announcement.
M
ichelle Duggar, 39, had her first child at age 21, four years after the couple married.

Their children include two sets of twins, and each child has a name beginning with
the letter "J": Joshua, 17; John David, 15; Janna, 15; Jill, 14; Jessa, 12; Jinger, 11; Joseph, 10; Josiah, 9; Joy-Anna, 8; Jeremiah, 6; Jedidiah, 6; Jason, 5; James, 4; Justin, 2; Jackson Levi, 1; and now Johannah.

Bill Bennett

It took me a week to recover from this statement made by Bill Bennett, the former Secretary of Education.

Talk about someone who is in dire need of a PR person.

"[Y]ou could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down."

Here's the full transcript from Media Matters and a link to their site

From the September 28 broadcast of Salem Radio Network's Bill Bennett's Morning in America:

CALLER: I noticed the national media, you know, they talk a lot about the loss of revenue, or the inability of the government to fund Social Security, and I was curious, and I've read articles in recent months here, that the abortions that have happened since Roe v. Wade, the lost revenue from the people who have been aborted in the last 30-something years, could fund Social Security as we know it today. And the media just doesn't -- never touches this at all.

BENNETT: Assuming they're all productive citizens?

CALLER: Assuming that they are. Even if only a portion of them were, it would be an enormous amount of revenue.

BENNETT: Maybe, maybe, but we don't know what the costs would be, too. I think as -- abortion disproportionately occur among single women? No.

CALLER: I don't know the exact statistics, but quite a bit are, yeah.

BENNETT: All right, well, I mean, I just don't know. I would not argue for the pro-life position based on this, because you don't know. I mean, it cuts both -- you know, one of the arguments in this book Freakonomics that they make is that the declining crime rate, you know, they deal with this hypothesis, that one of the reasons crime is down is that abortion is up. Well --

CALLER: Well, I don't think that statistic is accurate.

BENNETT: Well, I don't think it is either, I don't think it is either, because first of all, there is just too much that you don't know. But I do know that it's true that if you wanted to reduce crime, you could -- if that were your sole purpose, you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down. That would be an impossible, ridiculous, and morally reprehensible thing to do, but your crime rate would go down. So these far-out, these far-reaching, extensive extrapolations are, I think, tricky.

He's 36 or so...

So I don't think I've ever had an issue of looking older or being out and having girls tell me that I look like I'm in my late 30's.

However, on Friday night, I went out with a bunch of friends, we started talking to some girls and we asked them how old they thought Rich was, unfortunately they thought he was 36 years old.

Rich just recently got back from his 30 birthday celebration in Miami last week.

He was not happy.
