In response to Gus’s “Split Decision” post: The Statehouse News Bureau did a story today on the efforts of Canton’s Freshman Representative, William Healy, to fix the matter through “clarifying” legislation rather than waiting on the courts to battle it out.

Let the games begin!

So when I heard a Dukes of Hazzard MOVIE was coming out I called Gus to ask why he hadn’t told me (because he didn’t know – Yes for once, I scooped him!) and then I immediately called Valerie (T.O.O.) to talk to the only other person in the world who would actually be excited with me. (we were both avid viewers in our youth and during the days of the Crazy Valeries)

Then while following another link I found this bit of bad news courtesy of moviehole.com:

Schneider loathes Dukes of Hazzard redo

Look out Stifler, duck for cover Jackass, disguise yourself in a tin of ‘Chicken of the Sea’ Simpson……the original “Duke” is out to get ya.

John Schneider, one of the original ‘Good ol Boys’, tells IESB that if he’s asked to cameo in the new “Dukes of Hazzard movie” – starring the aforesaid Sean William Scott, Johnny Knoxville and Jessica Simpson – he’ll give the offer the birdie. “I wouldn’t drive into that movie even with your car”, the “Smallville” actor says.

According to the site, Schneider isn’t happy that the movie is going to be a spoof of the old Television series.

Now what am I supposed to do? Who wants a blonde Daisy? But Willie Nelson as Uncle Jesse? How can you pass that up. And Burt, Burt Reynolds as Boss Hog. Good gravy!

So do I listen to the love of my life (TV life, Dahlberg) and shun the film or do I go and bask in the glory of a gigantic General Lee???
