Re: My Party Screws The Pooch On Taking Over The Senate...

Come to think of it, a lot of us were laughing when they nominated that actor guy who played straight man to a chimp*. Are you referring to the man who brought down the Soviet Union and won the Cold War? That feller? I had a good laugh when the Demo's nominated a dopey looking peanut farmer who had...

Re: GOOD RIDDANCE

Can't say that I disagree only that only that others are far more off and have been for much longer. You have a point... Being a political junkie, I frequently have the daily press briefing on in the background (C-SPAN carries it) while I'm working.... Just about anybody with a blog can get credent...

Re: IS it wrong to ask what happened to CSB?

I still find the CSB to be as entertaining as ever. It's like visiting a mental institution. Yeah, I just spent a little time perusing through some of the posts over there.... The funny thing is Joe, that now that the loonies are doing 90% of the posting there, they probably think it's a much more ...

Re: Ins and outs of the US economy

I did have hope that if I treated you without rancour here you'd have the decency to do the same.
Really?

Re: IS it wrong to ask what happened to CSB?

Well, since this appears to be an appropriate thread for venting a bit about the CSB, I'd like to weigh in a bit, and provide a few explanations.... After I hurt my back and spent a week lying in bed, it started to give me a little better sense of perspective. I decided that I was letting myself get...

My Party Screws The Pooch On Taking Over The Senate...

With realistic victory chances in states like Pennsylvania, New York and California, the GOP had a real (albeit still long...we'd have needed to pretty much run the table) shot at taking back control of the Senate....(we still have excellent prospects for regaining control of the House thanks to Nan...

Re: Just About The Worst Damn Thing I've Ever Seen...

In today's Hollywood culture, rather than fight and be massacred by the Zulu, the Welsh would have to sit down in an encounter group with them, and try to come up with a multicultural, holistic, gender neutral way of addressing the oppression of the blacks, and racism inherent in the Welsh flag. Th...

Re: Just About The Worst Damn Thing I've Ever Seen...

My favorite lines from that flick:

From the Sergent Major, to the drunken minister:

"Sir, you're scaring the lads...calm down; there's a good gentleman"


Was it the same way for you....

If they ever try to remake ZULU I suspect either hubby, myself or our son will be out buying rope and organising a lynching on the other hand if someone would like to take a crack at remaking Zulu Dawn thats fine with us :lol: Now that would be inexcusable....

Re: Just About The Worst Damn Thing I've Ever Seen...

What goes through the mind of a producer who looks at a well crafted, classic film with a cavalcade of stars like Flight Of The Phoenix that leads him to conclude: "Hey! I can do better than that!" The next thing that ought to go through the mind of a person consumed with such hubris is a bullet.......

Re: Just About The Worst Damn Thing I've Ever Seen...

Not every remake is hideous...(but most are) "The Front Page" ...which was a remake of the classic "His Girl Friday", wasn't bad... (It took a brave director to say, "I can remake a classic movie with Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell and turn it into a Walther Matthau Jack Lemmon vehicle and make it ...

Just About The Worst Damn Thing I've Ever Seen...

I have an enormous amount of respect for Hugh Laurie.... Both as a comedic talent, and in his portrayal of the morose, misanthropic, druggie Dr. House.... Top Drawer..
