Ethan Coen’s 15-year-old son Buster earned a credit as Matt Damon’s ‘Abs Double’ on True Grit — a remarkable feat for a teenager, especially considering that Mr. Damon’s bare abs never appear on-screen. Instead we are witnessing some Coen wit: Buster was an assistant on the film…and requested that credit.

I have read the Dish for four years, but this is the first time I’m emailing, just to point out that Papa Bear needs to get to know his scriptures a bit better. O’Reilly closes with “The Lord helps those who help themselves,” a quote that not only does not appear in the Bible, but actually is from the Koran – a document O’Reilly has not appeared to appreciate much at all. This secular progressive is happy to help him out with his religious confusion.

From 13:11 in the Koran:

Verily, God does not change men’s condition unless they change their inner selves
