Father’s Day

It’s been a weekend full of camping out in the backyard and going to water parks and playing mini-golf and seeing Cars.  A very Jamie weekend, all in all.  And about Cars:  while it’s nice that Hollywood finally got around to acknowledging NASCAR culture, and finally, finally paid some respect to uncorrupted, small-town community values, I have to point out that early in the film, as Lightning McQueen is being trundled off to California, we briefly see a exit sign on the highway that reads “Wingnutville.” Yet another gratuitous liberal-elite swipe at Red America!  They just can’t help themselves, can they?  I bet there was even a subliminal crescent figure of some kind in the climactic scene, but I forget whether a section of an oval can count as a crescent.

Oh, and by the way, I told you that 285 would be good enough to win this Open.  I just didn’t imagine that there would be any Vandeveldean drama involved.
