So I'm watching the View...cause those dames got cinema quality moxie and nothing goes better with my morning Yoplait than a steady diet of sense with a heaping portion of sassy on the side!
Michelle Malkin, this century's Jane Pratt, was on, talking about Obama not delivering his hope and change as promised, and it got me to thinking about LEADERSHIP.
The View always gets me asking questions each and every day and I turn to film for the answers.
Where is the audacity of hope and the sexiness of change Obama promised? How can we get away from the stale old cronyism of this and administrations past? By embracing a new type of leader, as exemplified by David Patrick Kelly in the Warriors.
There were a lot of different examples of leadership in, dare I say it, the best movie ever made that starts with W. Who should we take as our exemplar? Which man exhibited the qualities that we should look for in a leader, who will lead us to glory, or at least make us fend off the Canadian menace.
Some will point to Swann...but pretty boys make horrendous leaders, cause how can they deal with the myriad of problemos our nation faces if they spend all day gazing in the mirror? Right George Bush?? We sure don't need intellectuals if office neither. If only Georgie wasn't such a voracious reader! Those bookniks need to quit with their heavy thinkin and do some heavy liftin! Lol.
Where was I?
Creon...he was imposing, he exuded strength...he died in the first 5 minutes. No thanks.
Ajax! There was a man of action. He got results. But testosterone fueled he-men have the fatal flaw...their fervent ball sacs. Handcuffed to a bench by a dame! Is that the future we want for this land of ours? If we had elected John McCain, Costa Rica, with her flowing lock like shore lines and comely buxom hills would have beguiled us and then handcuffed us to the bench that is Central American strife and discord, and it would be only a matter of time before we were waiting to be processed by the Nicaraguan police.
Therefore I suggest we elect a true psychopath. Without David Patrick Kelley's psychotic act of shooting Cyrus and blaming the Warriors, we probably would have witnessed a simple mass gang meeting, and then a gradual dispersal to the subways and an uneventful train ride home. Would that have made for a good movie?
DPK wasn't physically imposing, in fact he was kind of small. He certainly didn't look very strong, and not only was he not handsome, he looked a little like a greasy weasel, and I just know we all cheered when Matrix through him off that mountain in Commando. "I lied." Haha...go get 'em Matrix!
But DPK had something that made people follow him! He had a charisma and vision that caused the whole city to explode in an orgy of fancy costumed violence. Do you think the Lizzies would have embraced female empowerment had DPK not set the wheel in motion? Would Deborah Van Valkenburgh have left the Orphans for the glamorous life of walking through subway tunnels without his bold act of leadership? Would the Orphans have finally asserted themselves?
Of course not. And when DPK was asked, "Why did you do it? Why did you kill Cyrus?", he gave us the secret to his power. "No reason. I just like doing things like that."
Do you wonder if his gang members were thinking, "What the fuck? You mean there is no financial gain to this? What kind of plan is that? Why are we following this guy?? Who made this insane little runt leader?"
Hell no. The man paid for the candy bar when the girl at the newsstand asked, "Who's gonna pay for this?"
DPK exploded on her. "For what???" He yelled. But then he tossed her money. Leadership.
In summation...we need psychotic men with deep pockets...and guns. He had a gun too. Those are persuasive! When are those bureaucrats going to get the message? Less chit chat more shooting!
