Thursday Night ONT: ZAZ Edition
What's ZAZ you ask?
Tomorrow will be a more conventional ONT, and of course the ONT is an open thread, so you can talk about anything you'd like, but tonight the question on the floor is this: What is the greatest Zucker/Abrahams/Zucker movie? Singly or together they've made about two dozen movies, but we're going to concern ourselves with their irreverent, slapstick, joke-every-ten-seconds comedies. Which is a shame because Ruthless People is hilarious, but it doesn't quite meet those criteria.
And the finalists are.... The Kentucky Fried Movie (1977) Much raunchier than their other works, KFM burst onto the scene in 1977 and created a genre. Centered around a long spoof of Enter The Dragon (Take him to....Detroit!), KFM featured everything from newscasters watching viewers fuck to Cleopatra Schwartz. Catholic High School Girls in Trouble, Rex Kramer, Danger Seeker..the list of skits goes on and on. Make sure to see it in Feel-A-Round.

You know, once Leslie Nielsen started doing the slapstick, I couldn't watch any of his previous serious roles without laughing my ass off. There was a Columbo episode ('70s run) with Patrick McGoohan as a CIA guy who kills another agent, played by Leslie Nielsen.
The scenes were supposed to be straight, but I'm laughing my ass at Leslie the CIA agent, imaging Frank Drebin doing just what the character was doing.
Leslie once, in an interview, said here's how I do a serious line: blah, blah, blah.
Now, here's how I do a funny comedy line....and he does the exact same way.
And that's the damn truth.

And Airplane! What a great movie. However I learned my lesson the hard way. Airplane! is not a date movie.
Ruthless People is a superb movie and a date movie as well.
"Police Squad" is best in the TV show, not the movies. Extremely funny throughout. I guess the script writers could not complete more than 6 episodes of that high quality. So they did not.

Airplane! was based on Zero Hour!, starring Dana Andrews:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-v2BHNBVCs
They bought the rights to the Zero Hour! script just to be safe.
Police Squad! was similarly derived from some old QUinn Martin series called "M Squad". There's a similar side-by-side comparison of that as well, if you search for it.

Leslie Nielsen was fart joke master, as well. A master of the whoopie cushion, and making fart sounds with his hands and under his armpits.
He was doing that all that time on the set, well before he did comedy.

GPS would not recognize the address so I went to google. google took the address I punched in and gave me a slightly modified address. So I went where google said to go. Got to the post office and they had my package. When I was leaving I asked the postperson if he knew the address on their slip was incorrect. His response was "yeah but we had 10,000 of them printed up so we have to use them up."
The post office is giving out docs with the incorrect address. The zip code is right though.

I remember that now, and had forgotten. I was laughing my ass off. IIRC, he grabs on to the statue's dick for dear life, after being screamed at for grabbing the girl's boobs.
The dick grows erect....and breaks off in his hand, and he comes in the room like he's attacking the girl with the giant concrete dildo.

Iran Deploys Revolutionary Guards to Quell "Sedition"...and Obama Deployed the FBI/FISA/Mueller Deep State Guards to Quell the Trump Movement "Sedition". That's the Mullah/Mueller link.
Both are criminal conspiracies to thwart legitimate mass movements for freedom. One in Iran, one in America. Yes, the details are different; for example, we don't shoot young dissenters in the street here, except for Seth Rich.
But it's the same criminal impulse to cling to power at all costs.
And Obama backed them both.
But that's not important now.

As I'm thinking of it, Top Secret is filled with so many more sight gags than dialogue jokes partly because the Zuckers/Abrams were somewhat restricted with plane interiors, etc.
Seriously, this is a movie with a scene in a European park that has a giant statue of a pigeon, and several guys fly in, pee on it, and fly out again...and then the statue poops.
And then there's the pony singing opera and coughing:

Kilmer did the best he could with what he was given (so did George Clooney, for that matter). Kilmer was completely into that role, he really sold it as Batman but was handed crap as a script by people who really knew nothing of the character or stories. I've never seen him turn in a bad performance, even in a pretty minor role like in Heat. And without him, Tombstone would have flat out sucked.

Vulvae too. Well labia majora specifically. And it's not really "whitening", but "pinking". Lightening. Skin in those regions can be darker by a good bit and contrast sharply with the normal skin tone.

They do this in all the movies listed above. For example, in Airplane: "Looks like I picked the wrong time of the week to quit (x,y,z)". Also the scene in which they have to calm the hysterical woman, and the people at the back of the line are carrying weapons.
Here is a scene from Naked Gun 2 1/2:

That's because if it was for guys, there would be a lot more explosions, and the female lead's husband would turn out to secretly be the bad guy and need to be killed by the male lead in a fit of righteous fury... that segues into the final scene in which the male lead's having sex with the female lead.

The Social Justice Nonsense on ESPN doesn't always bother me, but it's been especially annoying tonight. I've been watching college basketball, which is one of the few things they still do a good job with, and one of the commentators, f***ing Walton something or other, has spent like half the broadcast talking about Utah (which I guess is where they are) and how it's such a great place for solar energy experimentation and being progressive in the fight to stop climate change. Which, a) no, and b) shut up and focus on the @#$%ing game already! I've changed it to Cops three or four times to get away from the stupid hippie.

So, my introduction to KFM was this one time one of the kids from my church youth group (high school age), who's about as straight laced as you might find (now an LCMS pastor), had a party at his house over the holidays of basically our group, minus the adults who usually ran it, and he had heard KFM was like Monty Python and the Holy Grail level funny, so he rented it and we all watched as part of the festivities.
And it was very funny.
Unintentionally.

You know, today, I had a round with a stupid prescription for my father. Long story, but they have him taking Belsomra for sleep. They had given him a trail script early, then wrote another one, which was filled on Dec. 18th. For 10 pills. It ran out.
Well, the script was supposed to be for 90. That's what the doctor's office says. But the pharmacy doesn't have it. They have only the script for 10, but can't explain what happened.
Now Belsomra is controlled (only Schedule IV), but still controlled. So the doctor's offfice can't just write another one without an act of Congress or something.
It will be Monday before anyone is there with the authority to do it. And even then they might not.

It was one of the plot element in Airport. The bomber bought travel insurance, at the airport iirc, for his flight. His reason was he was going to blow himself and the plane with him to get money for his wife, though I don't imagine that would be a reason the insurance companies would approve of.
That movie was from the 70's and the book it was based on was published in the 60's. Maybe they stopped selling travel insurance in airports, because I can't recall ever seeing a place to buy it there.

You know, I learned something. FOr everything up to Sch II, they can electronically send it to the pharmacy. My own doc does that. But for Sch II (this is the strong opioids basically), it has to be written.
But sometimes they don't want to do, aren't set up, or just don't and make them do written.
It's going to get worse and more of a hassle with the crackdown on opioid abuse.

The San Andreas fault goes out to see around San Francisco and doesn't go anywhere near Oregon. But its not impossible that a really huge earthquake could be caused by something that also triggers other fault lines, and that could cause eruptions and quakes in Oregon.
Several mountains in Oregon an Washington are still active, if quiet, volcanoes like Hood and Rainier. Those two erupting would cause inconceivable damage to both states.

Oh man what a day.
First, my boss at my job has officially entered B-word territory, and she's already close to C-word status.
Second, my PC has been alternately throwing tantrums a la Glenn Close/Fatal Attraction ("I'M NOT GOING TO BE IGNORED!!") and just not working at all, so I decided it was time to migrate my Microsoft 365 programs over to my Mac.
MISTAKE. I went ahead and bought another subscription at Microsoft's site.
SURPRISE! After spending 70 hard-earned bucks, It turns out that all I managed to do was ADD another year to the subscription that's chained to the failing PC. I finally reached a woman in live chat at Microsoft, and she was very kind and patient, but informed me my only real recourse is to either (a) buy Microsoft Office Home Edition, so I can have installs on up to 5 PCs or Macs (way more than I need), or deactivate my PC subscription and reactivate it on my Mac.
Well, I had been seeing I had a subscription on my PC, so I went looking for that setting in the Microsoft account website. ANOTHER SURPRISE! NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN, Microsoft REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE MY PC SUBSCRIPTION EVER EXISTED. Except, of course, to tell me I can't install anything on my Mac.
So now my only recourse is to spend another 100 bucks, when it looks like the odds are about 5-to-1 I'm gonna get my ass canned tomorrow.
Really beginning to understand the white-hot hatred a lot of folks have for Gates & Co.

In all honesty, Doc Holliday was all rep. The only person he killed that anyone knows of is in that one gun battle near the Corral. He was dying and didn't give a damn, so I think that intimidated people, but he never was a killer, not like Hardin or Hickock.

Last January, no less than seven cruise ship arrivals were disrupted on four different arrival days & times, due to the USCG and the Port of Galveston being closed to traffic, due to heavy fog.
Both a Carnival and Royal Caribbean ship "enjoyed" two extra days at sea, due to these delays. The rest were all delayed by a single day.
Imagine now, if you will, the thousands of busted airline connections, missed flights, shattered wedding plans, critical business meetings that fell through.
That's a whole lot of money needing to be spent, just to get back home, by folks who didn't budget those funds.
Trip insurance covers the direct costs of new airline tickets, rental cars, hotels if needed, to complete the trip.
Some trip insurance policies even reimburse for lost work days, as well as provable costs due to say, rental for a reception hall for a wedding that didn't happen because of the delay.
Trip insurance isn't "life insurance", like the old "flight insurance" they used to sell from the airport kiosks and vending machines.
If you're going to fly during the ice n' snow seasons, or make more complex plans such as a cruise, tour or "all inclusive" down to Cancun or such.
*Always* buy the Trip Insurance. It's cheap. And if you die in Cancun, it pays the tens of thousands of dollars to get your carcass home, too.
Don' know if it covers eating the spoiled fish on the Airplane, though.

McCarthy has a column up in which he labels Manafort's suit over the scope of Mueller's inquiry "frivolous" - haven't read it yet, but McCarthy himself has pointed out the problem with appointing a special counsel when no specific crime is known or suspected, so I'm wondering.
Also, the delays and stonewalling of the HPSCI - twice requiring the intervention of the Speaker to unravel, as far as we can tell - is absurd and inexcusable. Existence of ongoing investigation should not matter - and there is no conceivable excuse for not working things out or pleading "investigation" with Nunes *the day after the subpoena is issued* - yet we have a pattern of 11th hour semi-compliance. Ridiculous. Unless things are being misreported (and this stuff is only being covered by the few real journalists in the Beltway, so that seems less of a concern), or Nunes is a kook, Rosenstein, and possible Sessions and Wray, inspire Zero confidence or respect.

IF you have a fast and reliable internet connection, combine three things:
1. Any ordinary POTS phone where you plug RJ11 into a copper pair. Anything from an old AT&T slimline with a real bell and a pre-tangled cord to a new Panasonic cordless or a FAX or anything else. Just not a fancy office phone that needs a PBX.
2. An ObiTalk IP < -- > phone RJ11 device, ca. $50, available at Amazon, one-time purchase, no recurring charges, uses WIFI or CAT5.
3. A free google.com/voice account with a real live phone number, no charge for national calls. Associated phone number may be outside of your actual area code, like, say, if you live in 517 (mid-Michigan) you might get an 810 number (northern lower peninsula).
There you go - now your only monthly fee is the internet connection you already had, you have a real number you can dial in and out from, and whatever ordinary phone you want. The audio quality is even better for both parties if one has that setup, even if the other is on a cell phone.

First of all, the concept and terminology of "deal" doesn't sit well, at all.
Unless there are standing statutory or other restrictions on what can be shared with oversight committees, it is not up to executive branch agencies to decide what they will share. Period. They are subordinate to the Congress in our system. Ex. office of the president, or matters dealing with direct communication with the president, fall under executive privilege, which is different, and inapplicable here.
And - again - WTF with 11th hour, grudging compliance, including running to mom (Ryan) to tell her that dad (Nunes) is being unfair?? If you get a f***king subpoena from House intel, and you don't plan to comply, you tell them the next day, and give your reasons - and suffer the consequences.
Report says docs will be unredacted - which will mark a change from things so far, I think.
Former DOJ official quoted by Herridge opined that the FBI is not accustomed to such scrutiny. Well la de da, f**k them and their ignorant, arrogant snowflake mindsets. Maybe - just some wild speculation here - the absence of outside scrutiny is one of the things that led to what appears the complete, constitution-destroying derailment of the FBI and DOJ.
They're public servants, subordinate to elected officials. Congress is such a pathetic, atrophied, irresponsible mess - permitted by a brain-dead electorate - that *this* is the level of arrogance and cluelessness we have in key institutions. We saw the cowardice and passivity of Congress under Obama - it's not changed. Except, perhaps, for a handful of members. Little has changed.
And I wish Leslie Nielsen were available to give press briefings. He and Sam Kinison.

I'm seldom aware of the behind-the-scenes politics, scheming, machinations and other forces which affect AoS and the ONT.
I *mostly* hate seeing long time Horde self-vacate the premises, regardless of the reasons.
That said, there's a distinction between "bailed", as described above, and "flounced", in the vein of the late-yet-not-lamented jeffchem.
Pity of it is though, sometimes, that difference becomes one without very much distinction.
We must all hang together, or we shall all surely hang separately.

Doesn't he strike you as kind of sneering and narcissistic? Even though the movies have a high reputation for their comedy, his persona just had nothing sympathetic about it and I've never been tempted to watch the films. I think he affects me in the same way that Donald Trump affects Ben Shapiro. Some of my favorite comics like Woody Allen are huge fans, I just can't.

I really grew to like him during his short stint on Mitch Romley's fake presidential campaign of 2012. I liked having a catty queen on our side for once. The dude was sort of a proto-Milo in that sense, and I thought it was dumb of Romley to fire him, but now I know Romley had zero intention of winning and Grenell was ultimately an obstacle in the way of losing graciously, so of course he had to go.

when i talked to CRPA this week they said their lawyers were looking at the issue, and that there should be a press release on the matter shortly

He's actually exactly what the US should be saying/showing to Germany at this point. He's presumably got the Brit insight/disdain for the worst European ideas, but he'd be backed by Trumpian energy (the UK being, sadly, a sinking ship with many worthy people stuck aboard).
Imagine the comments on the insane German groveling to their Islamic lessers, at home and abroad. Almost as good as having Sam Kinison as WH press secretary.

On Thursday, French president Emmanuel Macron criticized the United States and Israel for encouraging anti-regime protests in Iran claiming, inter alia, that such talk would lead the world closer to war. "The official line pursued by the United States, Israel and Saudi Arabia, who are our allies in many ways, is almost one that would lead us to war," Macron told reporters.

Great comment. And "atrophied" is a good word.
Congress has completely abdicated its constitutional authority. From "impeachment is off the table" to passing continuing resolutions instead of budgets, to "omnibus" spending bills so members don't have to record votes on specific items, Congress has become fundamentally unserious.
Congress created Federal agencies and gave them the power to write regulations with the force of law. Congress could exercise oversight over those agencies or abolish them entirely when they run amok, but they don't. Congress could impeach and remove Federal judges who overstep their authority, but they don't.
So now we have an Executive branch with dictatorial powers and a Judiciary with dictatorial powers. Congress, which is supposed to represent the People and the States, has voluntarily neutered itself. No 1933-style Enabling Act was necessary.
Congressmen and Senators enjoy the trappings of power and the juicy pensions, and of course getting rich from inside knowledge and being exempt from the laws they pass. Apart from that, Congress no longer seems to have an actual purpose today.

If there is a near-revolution in the judiciary - esp. SCOTUS personnel changes - that returns it to something like a judicial system as opposed to a rogue unaccountable super-legislature for idiots, then maybe there's hope. But at the moment, for 2A matters, the authoritarians are in full control, and Heller has been effectively "over-ruled" by the "lower" courts.
Bet you a case of craft beer that CA outlaws all semi-auto rifles, or at least apes NY and MD, by the end of this year. Why not? The constitution doesn't apply here, the 9th is a Third World lawless farce, and SCOTUS cringes and snivels while its rulings are dismissed with contempt. Meanwhile, this ammo nonsense is going to be a body-blow, once the price effects are fully developed. Most damaging CA law yet.

One simple, odd-seeming, but potentially powerful thing Trump can do - unilaterally - to start the return of politics to politics (displacing ruinous incumbent inertia) is to refuse to sign any continuing resolutions of more than a week's duration, and *any* omnibus ones. State it loud, proud, and repeatedly, and warn the leadership of both parties. He should have done it last January.
Then we'd have the Senate in the crosshairs. Make the Senate Dems (and their equivalents in the R camp) sweat, and answer for their obstruction. Not a chance Trump loses *that* political battle - best time for it in a long time. The electorate is not obsessed with "govt. shut-downs", doesn't notice them for the most part, and deserves to know exactly why things are stuck, and exactly who is making it that way.
Politics. Differentiation. Choices. Hot seats. Big votes. The basic currency of congressional politics, almost completely removed since 2009. Broken china and drama are unavoidable, Trump is exactly the right guy to start and oversee them.

IF one were historically well read, well, one naturally filled in the copious blank spaces, already knowing the story, of course.
And then, it was a wonderful tribute.
Destroyed only at the end, by that horrid "tribute". Sucked the wind right out of it's sails, and then some.
But, if I were to have taken an historically illiterate sort to view the film? I'd have to spend the next six hours at the cigar lounge, explaining the history over bourbon and cigars.
The cigars would be mandatory.
Because, Churchill. Of course.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Oh, and I have a real-life Big Lebowski ashes-spreading anecdote. Someone I know with a boat took people out off the coast of Orange County to spread the ashes of two departed friends, one a neighbor.
Sailboat, but motoring slowly, the people dumped the ashes, slowly, kind of sifting them out of two little pots - the air vortex/circulation behind the boat pushed some of the ashes up onto the back of the hull, some into the cockpit (friend described washing it down later).
Not exactly as hilarious as the thing with Donnie's ashes blowing into The Dude's beard on the bluffs at Zuma or wherever ("Walter!??), but close enough.

I've been trying to quit smoking cigarettes and have been using the e-cig lately. That works fine when I'm out and about during the day, but I still want to actually smoke on evenings and weekends.

Ah, well... I see. Yes. That's Nolan for you. Admirably, he wanted to do it entirely on real film, with zero CGI, on the actual location. Fantastic. However, Nolan is big on the ideas but weak when it comes to storytelling. Some of those things that bugged you can probably be put down to make a story fit the grand film making concepts. Honestly, it was the most coherent story he's done for a loooong time, simply because he is normally guilty of "telling not showing". At least in this one, we weren't being subjected to literally hours of gab, gab, gab... telling us what we already knew and saw, or worse telling us stuff because whatever it is makes no fucking sense.
But, he still had to Nolanise it with all that multiple timeline bullshit, cz... Nolan. What bugged me the most is that he cast the characters so I couldn't tell them apart. They looked that similar. I'm fine with characters in a story like that being taken "as is"... who they are at this moment in time (don't need a back story). But... you've got to able to identify with them and I didn't know who was who. One guy had a life vest at one stage. That's about it.
Yeah, the scale of the movie left a lot to be desired. If you need a WW2 fleet and 1000's of troops on screen.... DON'T decide "no cgi", unless you got the toys and extras to do it. If you can't mess up the beach to make it look real.... DON'T decide to film it at Dunkirk, coz you're not allowed to mess it up. Find a stand in location and fuck that beach up. Nolan... good director, but is a frustrating story teller.

In that one does not inhale the smoke from a premium cigar, they are wonderful "quit cigarette" crutches.
That said, fair warning. They can give you one hell of a nicotine blast via the salivary route.
And also, they are far more satisfying in the tactile sense, both to the feel of the natural leaf which is the wrapper, to the creamy smoothness of a rich blend's smoke. And not to mention the complex, subtle and DELICOUS flavors present in the smoke from an expertly blended cigar.
No mere cigarette can compete. Not even the most expensive Dunhill. Period.
Consider this, too. A fine cigar is the commitment of an hour, or more. You HAVE to sit back, relax and ENJOY. Very, very good for the state of mind.
Vs. the hurried "puffs" of a furtive cigarette smoker, hurrying a few minutes puffs before having to dash back to the cubicle, etc.
My email is in my nic. Write to me, and I'll send you one of the very finest cigars on the market, bar none.

I was 1st mate on several large charter motor yachts out on Galveston Bay.
More than a few "scattered at sea" evolutions, of course.
We had 'em remove all footwear and hosiery, and stand out on the swim platform, and put the lip of the container no more than six inches above the water.
Yeah, even then, most of 'em brought home a "souvinier", one might say.

There's some truth in that. Delusions of being an "auteur"- writing and directing. Nolan reminds me a bit of Shyamalan. It's possible that Nolan, like Shyamalan before him aren't even that good as a director and is made to look good by his DP's. Shyamalan looked like a great director (but terrible writer)... when he lost the great Tak Fujimoto as DP, the cracks began to really show. Who knows, a number of high profile directors may be carried by their DP's.

This movie keeps getting worse the more people think about it. I'm having difficulty watching the fan plot patch videos which are increasingly pathetic given that we know no one's doing any planning or continuity checks in these movies. Which is why I'm not linking the video trying to explain why Luke's mechanical hand wasn't lying on the ground at the end of his last shot, which makes no sense given all that has gone before about the separation of mechanical things and at least the light side of the force.
No, this is a video which based on descriptions in what is effectively a companion guide for TLJ, so Disney 'canon,' which makes a strong case that when Rey found Luke at the beginning of the movie he was preparing to commit suicide. And given the event of his last shot (which I'm not being vague about to avoid the spoiler but because there's quite a bit of argument over what happened and why, with Hamill giving the most optimistic and least likely explanation of 'he was teleported away' [like in star trek] ), makes the character assassination complete.

mid/late 80's, i w*rked repo in Lost Angels... all over.
got a call one Caturday, since i lived near the office: get the tow truck and meet me...
we went out to Arcadia, right across from the race track, which was in session, to a wedding chapel.
there was our car, parked right in front of the doorway. there was also a cop directing traffic at the corner.
i verified the VIN, because only a fool trust a license plate, and we settled back to wait for the ceremony to start. but first we rolled to the nearest pay phone and called the Arcadia PD dispatch/desk SGT, and told them who we were, where the car was, and enough particulars that they could verify it was legit.
as we watched, the cop directing traffic pulled his brick off his belt, talked into it, listened a bit, talked again, then looked around and saw us, waved, talked one more time, then went back to directing traffic.
when we didn't see anyone else walking in, i strolled past the door, saw the soon to be unhappy couple at the alter and gave the high sign.
Posted by: redc1c4 at January 05, 2018 02:49 AM (lurxo)
about this time the best man and the photographer came out to intervene (good luck with that) and we told them it was a repo. "but she's rich!" i said "of course she is, she doesn't pay her bills..."
they yelled for the cop, who just turned and waved to them, then went back to directing traffic... and we drove off into the sunset with the car and all the presents inside.

me being me, i piped up with "you have pictures? can i get a set for my parents?"... at which point Tiny started to come across the counter and my boss hustled my smart ass into the back room.
they got ALL their property back, since the law requires it and we knew this would be a contentious repo, so we were extra careful to write it up right and safeguard everything.
they still sued... seems they claimed that we had stolen the $10K cash under the spare tire...which, remarkably enough was the balance on her loan when the bank charged it off a few years before. the judge was unimpressed, and basically told them that no one keeps 10 grand under their tire, and dismissed the case.
best part of the story? someone in the wedding party dimed her out, because the bank got a tip from someone calling and asking if they were still looking for the car, which is how we knew to be there.

Stay warm.

The was Andrews philosophy, be a happy warrior. Why I have never been impressed with McStain, Paul Rand, Santorum, Romney, etc. Always sad or mad about something. How can you sell a program of more freedom and less government without joy and humor. go watch a Milton Friedman video!

I don't see her as deformed looking. The neon red lipstick she wears is pretty garish, but otherwise she looks okay to me. She has nice hair.

Yeah, I haven't really been following news, but a bunch of my peeps from the South Shore have been posting videos. It's astounding. Some from P-town and Nantucket, too. That must be ghastly.
Everything's flooded and someone said the wind chill is going to -26.

However, the DACA beneficiaries comprise only one-third of the roughly 1.78 million young illegals who are aged 15 or older in September 2017, according to the MPI data. If the roughly 30,000 DACA beneficiaries with four-year college degrees are compared to this larger group of 1.78 million, then only 1.7 percent of young dreamer illegals aged 15 to 32 hold four-year college degrees.
That dreamer graduation rate is just one-tenth of the 17 percent of similar-aged Americans who hold four-year college degrees.
