Not a golden oldie, but a cult classic in its own right, “Weekend at Bernie’s” is making
a comeback. A strange modern-day slapstick escapade with little critical
success, this box office smash from the late 1980’s not only enjoyed three
re-releases, but its latest upload on YouTube.
The unlikely story featured two young insurance associates, Larry Wilson and Richard Parker, who
discover a massive accounting error ($2 million) and report the mistake to
their boss, Bernie Lomax. In reality, the mistake was an attempted embezzlement
by the same employer, knee-deep in mob connections and all attending troubles.
In order to correct the correction, Lomax orders hitmen to take out the
associates Wilson and Parker, and he invites them to his weekend retreat under
the guise of rewarding them.

As for the assassins, fearing Lomax’s slip-ups and dalliances with a mob boss’ flame, the mobsters decide to take out Bernie, too. When two associates show up to Bernie’s place, they find not only their purported
benefactor dead, but also discover (through a message left on an answering
machine) about his attempt to kill them, too.

So, as long as Wilson and Parker can play up the façade of
Lomax Living, then Wilson and Parker know that the assassins won’t kill them,
but keep trying to kill Bernie. Before they can leave the island, however, all
of Bernie’s weekend party friends arrive, and so the two associates are stuck keeping
their dead boss alive, where he inadvertently gropes some of the women, tosses
around food, knocks into people, and frightens one of the assassins, who to the
very end still believes that Bernie is alive, even as the mental hospital hauls
him away in a straitjacket.

over Democratic Party politics.

. . .[O] of course she
[Hillary] hadn't been thoroughly vetted. Brent Budowsky calling her the new
Nixon, reminded me this is like a New Coke moment as well. . . .It's actually like
a Weekend At Bernie's moment. I think that they're afraid that they have a
candidate that they have to prop up from now until November of '16. There isn't
any substance, there isn't any charisma, and most of all she's not trustworthy.
And that's what those polls you showed, the Quinnipiac. She fails on the
trustworthy question again and again.

Pundits on “Meet the Press” have officially declared Hillary
Clinton dead on arrival. No spirit, no flare, just a plastic stare, and
handlers holding her through the entire campaign process.

Democrats to her left are demanding a real
primary, and even Democratic who want to like Hillary and plan on voting for her, at least want her to fight for the
nomination, properly vetted and ready to win in 2016. Perhaps they should rent “Mannequin” or its insipid sequel?
Sadly, not medieval charms can bring Hillary to Life.

Yes, the Democratic Party will have their own Bernie in the race. After months of fretting and fussing about, Sanders is
betraying his illiberal independence to run as a Democrat, although he had
discussed doing as much last November.

Instead of trying to prop up Hillary, however, Democrats now
have to explain the unseemly left-wing bent of their party, so out of the
mainstream, even for a country where established institutions (academia, courts
of law) are forcing recognition of same-sex marriage, government-run
healthcare, and gender confusion as the norm.

Sanders
is an unapologetic (yet sad and sorry) socialist, who has
fraudulently mocked US Senator Rand Paul for defending the individual
liberties of medical practitioners against government mandate. He has routinely blamed the
ills of the world on the Koch Brothers, all while turning a blind eye to MoveOn.org’s
own George Soros.

Yet Bernie is ironically the core of the Democratic Party,
having veered so far to the left, and may in fact become the death of it, just
as the left-flank ruined Democratic chances in in 1972, 1980, 1984, and 1988. Himself propping up a desiccated, mortified
ideology which vanished in
the dustbin of history over two decades ago, Sanders is convinced, and
wants to convict the rest of Americans, that the way to wealth is government
stealth, taking from those who have and give to those who have not.

Market Conservative Margaret Thatcher answered that question in 1979, sweeping
out left-leaning Labour in British Elections. Her ideology is still the life of
Great Britain, where her somewhat successor David Cameron forced disability
recipients to submit for interviews to prove their need. Half dropped off the
welfare rolls, and another quarter were deemed ineligible. Eastern European
states long ago gave up socialism, and now stand as the only viable member-states
in the EU. Socialist countries (even if democratic) are moribund economies as
the norm, not the exception.

Is there anything left that the Democratic Party can dress
up Bernie and His Socialist presidential aspirations? Democratic handlers could
glue Mickey Mouse ears to his head to induce the youth vote, the same way that
Wilson and Parker stapled their dead boss’ toupee to his undead head.

With Bernie running to Hillary’s Left, exposing her crony
coziness with Wall Street, she will struggle to prop up socialism while trying
to kill Bernie’s chances. What youth vote does pay attention, will not vote
when Bernie loses the nomination. Should Bernie win, middle-of-the-road
Democrats, i.e. anyone who owns a home, a business, or earns a paycheck, will see
how far the party has left them, and vote GOP.

Weekend at Bernie’s will be one hell of a party, with a
