A very sad case.

Randy Quaid may have given the performance of his life in Brokeback Mountain. His looming, unforgiving, searing performance as Joe Aguirre contributed mightily to this masterwork.

What a shame that his life has gone so far downhill since.

I feel sorry for Randy. I met a guy in a bar a couple of years ago (when I first moved here) who told me that Vancouver was full of people who were too crazy for California. These two plus the so-called "truthers" prove his point.
