Behold a new favorite list from Cracked.com:
The 5 Most Badass Presidents of All Time.
Now, there are some things that I wish the article included. Like how Andrew Jackson signed the "Indian Removal Bill," (would it be off-base to consider this Jackson's "final solution" to the whole "Indian" problem?), the evil fuck.
And in the comments, people have been making cases for Ike Eisenhower deserving an honorable mention. Is is true that he forced the villagers of towns surrounding Nazi concentration camps to march through the liberated camps and witness the horror so no one could say "it never happened"?
Regardless, this list is awesome, and I still kinda hurt from laughing.
Sometime later this weekend, I'll post my thoughts on what may, just possibly, (let's see how I feel when I see it a second time and sober) be one of my new favorite films of all time: ALL THAT JAZZ.
I really, really wasn't expecting a film like this. Good lord.

Bernadette Peters as a ho.

A helicopter-plane like Batman used to rock.
