Grown Ups with Rob Schneider

Grown Ups with Rob Schneider

Don’t know how we missed this one. Comedian Rob Schneider is one of the main cast members of the movie “Grown Ups”. Here’s more about the film:

Grown Ups, starring Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade, and Rob Schneider, is a comedy about five friends and former teammates who reunite years later to honor the passing of their childhood basketball coach. With their wives (Salma Hayek, Maria Bello, Maya Rudolph) and kids in tow, they spend the Fourth of July holiday weekend together at the lake house where they celebrated their championship years earlier. Picking up where they left off, they discover why growing older doesn’t mean growing up.

Movie critics seem to hate the film (Rotten Tomatoes has a 9% rating on it. That pretty bad!). However, on opening weekend the movie raked in over $40 million to hold the second spot in the box office. Get tickets at Fandango or movietickets.com Some of the marketing on Grown Ups must have rubbed off on Rob Schneider’s first comedy album “Registered Offender”. He’s using childhood photos for the cover. Check out Graduation Speech by Rob Schneider.

Senator Daniel Inouye third in line for Presidency

Senator Daniel Inouye third in line for Presidency

With the passing of Senator Robert Byrd Monday, Senator Daniel Inouye of Hawaii is now the most senior member of the U.S. Senate with 47 years of service. On Monday, Senator Inouye replaced Senator Byrd as President pro-tempore of the U.S. Senate. The President pro-tempore of the Senate presides over the Senate in the absence of the Vice President (Joe Biden) and is third in line for the Presidency after the Speaker of the House (Nancy Pelosi). Although largely ceremonial, it is interesting to know that an Asian American is in the line of succession for the Presidency.
