Obama-Republican Deal Could Mean Tax Hike For One In Three Workers

Friday, December 10, 2010


After hearing Obama's news conference the other day, what was coming out of his mouth, I was reminded of the movie, 'The Competitio­n', with Richard Dreyfuss and Amy Irving competing in a prestigiou­s piano competitio­n.  

Toward the end of the movie there's a scene where the conductor (Sam Wanamaker) throws a tantrum and tells Amy Irving that she can't just suddenly choose to play a different concerto (the piano she had already begun to compete on broke a string) while they're swapping out the broken piano for another one.  When her teacher and her boyfriend challenge the conductor, demanding to know, "Why not?", he comes up with excuse after excuse, each shot down as either not true, not a problem, etc., until finally the conductor sniffs, "Well, maybe I'm not in a mood for the Profofiev Third!"  

Amy Irving's teacher (Lee Remick) fixes him with a glare and says: "It costs extra to carve 'schmvck' on a tombstone, but you would definitely be worth the expense!"
