Regular readers of the Chicago Flame probably know by now that I'm politically conservative and, as such, there are certain stereotypes designated to me by the urban university mindset. I've long since given up trying to hide the glaring fact that I spend my moonshine-induced evenings engaging in sexual intercourse with toothless family members, while contemplating the sadistic joy I'd wallow in from reading (if only I were literate) Fox News articles on death toll predictions for the next Bushitler crusade against oil-owning non-Christians.

I guess this whole festival was for some charity for leukemia and lymphoma or something, but like, if you're going to throw something called "Sausagefest," you've really got to make clear the type of "sausage" that's going to be available.

Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull
May 22
After almost 20 years in development hell, the fourth Indiana Jones movie, "Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull," is finally being released.
Fans of the original trilogy of archeologist-action-hero adventures might question the film's star himself, given the fact that Harrison Ford is no spring chicken.
