From David Letterman’s monlogue Tuesday night:

"You remember Dick Cheney, who was the Vice President for eight years with George W. Bush? And we didn’t think much about Dick Cheney and then one day he goes hunting, boy, that changed everything. Well now it turns out that for eight years, Dick Cheney had a secret hit squad to assassinate al Qaeda leaders. And the team was unbelievable. Here’s who was on the team: Lee Marvin; Jim Brown; John Cassavetes; Telly Savales; and Trini Lopez as Pedro.

"But the secret assassination squad, tough group of guys. To make the team, you had to survive a hunting trip with Cheney.

"Now here is the thing. Here are the two sides of this. The ying and the yang. Idea was we’d kill off al Qaeda leaders. That’s the ying, I guess. The yang is completely illegal. But, listen to this. Before you make your judgment, before you decide, if it weren’t for Dick Cheney and his secret assassination squad, Osama bin Laden would be alive today."

At the risk of sounding like a codger, they just don't make guy movies like they used to

4. XY rating!
Brilliant! And dead right on.

No, the current idea of a guy movie is "Pineapple Express," which I enjoyed, but which was like Chinese food................

5. So you prefer German-Chinese food?
Eat it, and a half hour later you're hungry ... for power! ;-)

6. I guess that'd balance the chick flicks rated "XX."
