#3 Pelosi could try to deploy a battalion of rats on Capitol Hill to sniff out all the mines planted by white supremacists. But I think the rats would refuse to associate with members of Congress.

Peter Falk was the Master! "The In-Laws" gotta watch it again.

#7 "The In-Laws" gotta watch it again.

Rated Damn Funny! by a panel of experts.
Be aware there are *TWO* movies with the same title. The 1979 original has Peter Falk and Alan Arkin. The 2003 knock-off, the same screenplay but 'adapted', has Michael Douglas who just isn't in the same league.
Serpentine!

Indeed. While we are on the subject of movies, the first few minutes of The Hurt Locker lets you get a glimpse of how surreal that job is. Later on, the film descends into the usual crazy soldiers theme, so overall, the movie is just average.
