Happy Birthday to him! He's made some wonderful movies.

I can't believe he's 80.

He was outstanding in Gran Torino. I sort of imagine Clint is much like the character he portrayed.

He's a real man. Lord, where have they all gone?

Mayor: I don’t want to have any more trouble like you had last year in the Filmore District, understand? That’s my policy.

Harry: “Yeah, well when an adult male is chasing a female with intent to commit rape, I shoot the bastard that’s my policy.

Mayor: Intent? How did you establish that?

Harry: “When a naked man is chasing a woman through an alley with a butcher knife and a hard-on, I figure he isn’t out collecting for the Red Cross.”

He’s made a big impact on the culture and I’ve loved a lot of his movies.

But I soured a lot on him when I found out how he treated Sondra Locke. Not classy at all.

I wish the Leftists would say that.

Despite some of what he played, he is liberal (supports homosexuals, etc.) and led an immoral lifestyle.

I turned 80 last August. Clint and I were at FT Ord about the same time, although I don't remember seeing anyone who looked like him. Lucky Clint got a cushy job as a swimming instructor while I was assigned to a rifle platoon in Korea.
