  2. Oh…off topic, and FYI, but The Claremont Institute is calling for applications for fellowships, legal and otherwise, if anyone is interested.

  3. Have you noticed that while time has ravaged Bill Murray, Andie MacDowell remains quite stunning? Alas, it is the curse of many males to age ungracefully.

  4. I’m sitting beside a second-floor window in a room in a not too clean hotel in a town called Otatoclán, a mountain town with a lake. There’s a desktop computer just below the window and when the mozo comes in with some coffee I’ve ordered he is going to post this comment for me and hold it up so that I can see it before he hits the submit button. When he does that he gets a hundred-peso note, which is a hell of a lot of money for him.

    Why all the finagling? I don’t know. Patterico’s whimsicalness is catching I suppose.

  5. A guy went and figured out how long Phil Conners spent in the time loop of Groundhog day.
    Thirty three years and 350 days. So that’s got to age Bill a bit.

    Play it all the way through, then click on the related video in the top right corner.

  10. 7.Ground hog tastes like chicken.

    Gus, you do realize you have the same name as “the second most famous ground hog in Pennsylvania”, don’t you?

  12. This was a crap movie when it came out and it remains so, even though it seems to have achieved a cult status because of —what? The same things happen again and again until the end when we are just happy that’s it’s over. And we are enlightened?Puxatawney Phil is more entertaining.

  13. Get off my lawn, xsssx.

    Rev. Barack Hussein Hoagie™ (f4eb27) — 2/3/2016 @ 5:57 am

  14. I’m not on your lawn, rev. Maybe you should go into your safe space.

    xsssx (7bb65d) — 2/3/2016 @ 6:12 am

  15. xssx, did you know de Blasio murdered Chuck, the Staten Island ground hog?

  16. If Leonardo DiCaprio can pass himself off as Hugh Glass ….

    nk (dbc370) — 2/3/2016 @ 6:18 am

  17. Wadda? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Glass

    nk (dbc370) — 2/3/2016 @ 6:21 am

  18. No rev. I wasn’t aware of that, but Chuck must have been a conservative rodent and wasn’t seeing the shadow of New York Values darkening the landscape (or the lawn).

  19. mg asked, Is the altar at La Purisima really dipped in Gold?

    Not the one in Lompoc.

  20. Oh, sorry, mag. I haven’t been taking in the sights.

    I’m just hanging around the hotel listening to the house band. A three-piece Mexican band, making the kind of music a Mexican band always makes. Whatever they play, it all sounds the same. They always sing the same song, and it always has nice open vowels and a drawn out sugary lilt, and the guy who sings it always strums on a guitar and has a lot to say about amor, mi corazĂłn, a lady who is “linda” but very hard to convince, and he has too long and too oily hair and when he isn’t making with the love stuff he looks as if his knife work in an alley would be efficient and economical.

  21. mag = mg

    nk (dbc370) — 2/3/2016 @ 7:14 am

  22. “efficient and economical”. Pfui. Those words mean almost the same thing. And that’s not the only thing that’s wrong with that run-on sentence. I’m just about ready to believe that “Playback” was not even written by Raymond Chandler.

    nk (dbc370) — 2/3/2016 @ 7:20 am

  23. 12. Actually my life has been not a little like the movie for the past 12 months. It isn’t crappy and I’m getting a chance to polish it to a fine shine.
