Heroes

There are so few true heroes in today's world....
Actually that's not true, and the word hero gets thrown around so much that it's lost much of it's meaning.
Nonetheless, I came across this article today:

You should read the article before you keep reading, wouldn't want to spoil anything for you :)


I don't know how many people remember when Phil Hartman was shot and killed by his wife back in the late '90s. I happened to be a pretty big Hartman fan, and I remember how sad and shocked I was by his death. He was one of those guys where you said "Someone shot him? Who the hell would want to hurt him?" Still, for one reason or another I had never heard about the Andy Dick connection before. Now I already hated Andy Dick for a hundred other things (he's Gilbert Godfried without the talent, and with more cocaine and face-licking), but now he's creeping towards the top ten people I most hate.* So when I heard that Jon Lovitz, who is a fantastic comedian and actor, had kicked the living crap out of him I was thrilled. But after reading the above article, it's not just a sense of schadenfreude I feel, but I get a genuine sense that someone who severely needed an ass-kicking has finally received it. Hopefully this is just the start of a whole host of people kicking the crap out of Andy Dick. Maybe Tim Meadows, Will Farrell, or Dave Foley can step up to the plate next.

For repeatedly slamming Andy Dick's face into a bar, Jon Lovitz is my hero of the week.



*It's too late to try to come up with a top ten list right now, but maybe in the future. An important note though, Dennis Miller, who is definitely on the list, is singing "take me out to the ballgame" at Wrigley this Saturday. I'm looking into buying tickets under the press box so that I can go and boo him (and also catch a cubs game), so if anyone is interested, let me know.
