In Scarface, when Sosa has to send someone with Alberto the Hitman to help him around New York City and translate for him, why does he send a known drug kingpin from Miami who's under indictment for cocaine trafficking and money laundering? Isn't he the most likely guy to draw attention to what Alberto is trying to accomplish? Wouldn't the Feds be tailing him? Hell, wouldn't it be hard for him to catch a plane to Bolivia after being charged? Figuring out how preposterous the end of Scarface is (leaving aside the facts that Tony would have been dead within a minute because the amount of cocaine he ingested at the end, and he wouldn't have been able to shout at Sosa's goon army after taking about ten bullets in the upper torso) is not unlike when I found out that my favorite childhood author Roald Dahl was an open anti-semite. There's a real loss of innocence there. My childhood would really be in tatters if I had a commute longer than ten minutes.

I forgot which night, sometime in the last 3 days someone on espn asked dick vital (it must have been him) during the halftime of a game what the best conference in america is, and he mentioned the big east and big ten and then gave this quote, "the ACC, any conference with an undefeated Duke team has to be in the picture."
Do a google search for "Roald Dahl" and "anti-semite". I remember reading this fact in his obit on a debate trip in 1990 and being very disenchanted.
Vitale is about 40% of my dislike of Duke. By the way, I had a fairly lengthy college basketball post this morning that was eaten by blogspot. I'll recreate it tonight, but one statement was that I agree that Mark Bradley that Duke looks like a good bet to win the title this year.
Whoops, it looks like blogspot didn't eat the post.
Actually I read that post, I just posted my comment on the wrong message by accident.
