Dad Saw the Captain Phillips Movie

Once he got past the disappointment of not getting the lead role, Dad eagerly anticipated this film.  He figured it would validate his earlier assessment that Obama had doomed Phillips but somehow the guys sent to rescue him managed to overcome being sent there.  Okay, it doesn't make sense to me either.  But Dad finds validation for his Obama hatred in clouds, coffee grounds, and everything he sees or reads on any subject.  So yeah, he was pumped when I saw him after he went to the flick.  He told me a few times how gloriously correct he'd been (I don't know anyone else who quotes himself so reverentially), despite his prediction being totally wrong, and of course I nodded in agreement, not wanting another half-hour harangue.  His current wife is faking deafness in a vain attempt to get him to stop yapping about how wonderful he is and how horrible Obama is, but since he never waits for a response, he hasn't noticed yet.  It is a little troubling to hear him refer to himself as the President's "arch-nemesis," but someone whose grasp on reality is that tenuous is going to come out with the occasional comic book dialogue.  He shouts "Flame on!" every time he lights the grill.  As long as he doesn't flip out during a car sale he will keep his job.  People who lie with such enthusiasm are worth their weight in adamantium down at the dealership.
