Indeed it is; but, unfortunately, it's the best we have

Re the suicide, I am not sure it is unrelated to pain. Javert was a man who had his whole life yanked out from under him, including the beliefs he ha or his own value. As the son of a prostitute, javert prided himself on being able to transcend his low criminal nature and not be one of hem through a...

I recall smoking cigarettes in high school and early college as a way to meet people; you could always approach someone on the street, boardwalk, etc. and ask for a light and it was a good way to meet women. I finally just stopped and never went back, because I tired of it. Like BSG, I never became ...

BP--I am a big fan of the stage show Les Miserables (I even appeared in a community theater/local college production as the opera singer a number of years back), but my problem with the film is what BSG alluded to--casting was more for acting ability, not singing ability. For me, the primary draw fo...

That has been a marketing strategy since the 60s--using the same packages with less contents; I recall seeing a legend like "This is packaged by weight, not volume. Settling may occur." It's a way to dupe the people, since the assumption is you're getting the same amount as before (eventually this w...

Wouldn't that be dyeing?

Yep--you get what you ask for/want.

Because at this point Israel is just creating more (new, future) Palestinian terrorists faster than it's killing armed Hamas militants. And also terrorists who will be much less likely to compromise and ultimately end this conflict. Sure, there are some in Hamas (and Israel for that matter) who wou...

Much like Pilate tried to placate the mob by merely beating Jesus nearly to death, the judge “relented” by lowering the bond required to a paltry $175 million and gave Trump an additional 10 days to secure it.

Trump getting 39 lashes would be far more entertaining.

Going by his name, I've always assumed Jesus was Mexican.

Or Puerto Rican; my wife has a cousin and and uncle both named Jesus.

Come on Sue, you don't recall the NYPD guy after the WTC? I think I must have heard God Bless America on the news more than a hundred times.

And, of course, there was The Singing Detective.

From what I have read, the Texas law specifically requires proof that the person knew they could not vote for a conviction--it is not enough that the person voted when they were ineligible. Indeed, it appears the Texas legislature mad this requirement fairly clear, and statements were made during th...

The sad thing is that it appears that the guy has a a fairly decent voice and could do something a lot better than that ridiculous arrangement. And, even sadder, that he or someone else posted that performance.

Sophomoric? Certainly. But you take your laughs, small or big, where you find them. Somehow, I could easily see Steven Cobert making this exact joke (he's made far more sophomoric ones about Trump in his monologues) and he's paid millions.

Were they killed or turned into zombies? Is there a difference? I think I saw that movie. And, FWIW, it reminds me of the Vietnamese and what they did to the french planters (and the Vietnamese had a lot less melanin), or what we later di to the Vietnamese a bit later (and while we had many "high me...

I just saw this new HBO documentary yesterday; it covers Alex Jones (an idiotic broadcaster of some asinine show called "Infowars" who kept pushing the theory that the sandy hook massacre was a hoax planned by the government to take our firearms, and kept it up, attacking the families for over 10 ye...

I've seen the same thing; it is safer and the bonus is that the fines are a good way to pay for the road maintenance.

Liberty--who are "liberal researchers" and how do you characterize them as such? As for Do you agree with these liberals that a person’s racial identity can be determined by looking at his skull? I have not researched it and I do not know. But we were talking about DNA genotypes before, and I do kno...

Imagination? Sounds more like common sense to me.
