You Don't Get This Shit On NYTimes.com

Listening to last night's NBC Nightly News, following a story about the contest to crown the first officially sanctioned Elvis Impersonator, Brian Williams signed of by saying saying, "And that wraps up tonight's news. Thank you, thank you very much for joining us." This pretty much explains why, when I do watch the major network news, NBC gets my click.

Apropos of nothing, if you've never seen the movie 'Bubba Ho-Tep', you damn well ought to, if for no other reason than to see Bruce 'Army of Darkness' Campbell's Elvis impersontion, stretched out for 90 minutes. Fan-fucking-tastic. I really don't think anyone else could have carried a movie about Elvis and a man who carries the brain of JFK battling an Egyptian mummy in a nursing home quite like Campbell does. Go to Netflix, and put it at the top of your queue. You'll thank me.

I'd also recommend reading his book If Chins Could Talk - highly entertaining
