How much credit does the actor get for the wittiness of the character he portrayed?

Apparently a sterling and accomplished fellow, notwithstanding the fact that he came into the public eye as an actor.

RIP

Do you find, "Free College for Everyone," constitutional?

Do tell.

Where, exactly, does Congress (or the President) get that particular power? I must have missed it. The "Emanations and Penumbras" clause, perhaps?

I'm not advocating censorship or even self-censorship, just awareness.

Your point is worth making.

If I were emperor of the Republican Party, here are my appointees as nominee, in order of preference: Christie Kasich Cruz Rubio, and at or near the bottom, Trump. By the time Pennsylvania gets to vote, the pack will have been winnowed down, and I expect to vote for Cruz as the R nominee. I cannot i...

It is unfortunate that you chose to use "black" as a synonym for evil.

Is it possible that this conflict can work to our advantage? Hard to say.

The defining issue of this generation is IMMIGRATION; Trump and Cruz are the only ones who "get it." Just as the Palestinians long ago decided that they could out-breed the Israeli's, Terrible Ted Kennedy long ago realized that by opening the floodgates to the third world - a population that would b...

The nature of such things is that the people in charge will never acknowledge that the drought is "over." That would make them seem less important. The quotes will be on the order of, "Well, just because we got a little bit of snow and rain doesn't mean we are out of the woods." Now, maybe Californi...

(A) This is an extremely weak case, and unlikely to result in a conviction. There is no physical evidence of a crime, it was reported late, and the accuser is not, shall we say, pristine. Further, the accuser does not remember being sexually assaulted, only having physical sensations that are consis...

The word, "hero" is often abused and mis-used.

This is an example of true heroism - may Allah be praised!

(a) Now I understand why my comrades used to refer to an erection as a "boner." (2) What sort of a language has a word for, "a limb sticking out sideways from an upright human body"? How often did it come up? (iii) What a great example of Intellectual Thought. As in, "some ideas are so ridiculous th...

How many people professing ANY religion today use that religion to justify killing non-believers - and even people who profess another version of their own religion? MASSIVELY, and not just occasionally? How many religions profess anything resembling that dehumanizing of women, criminalization of ho...

"...a $600 camera TRIPOD..."?

Jesus. That must be one helluva tripod!

I can't even imagine.

"...times tables..."? Are you shitting me? Are they related to the "g'zinta's"? As in "Four g'zinta sixteen four times"? On this continent we refer to them as " multiplication tables." Multiplication tables have been a pedagogical conundrum for generations in the U.S. The teachers are wary of forcin...

CAN'T WATCH: "Reality" TV, including talent scout programs, Anything with a laugh track, Daytime Soaps, Daytime "talk," Most contemporary "comedies," Anything associated with the she-devil, Shonda Rhimes. MUST WATCH: Homeland, Game of Thrones, other selected Cable drama, Wheeler Dealers, Bluebloods,...

That is approximately how it feels to me when I have to exit my sports car. Which is why I will give it up this year.

Ahem...getting back to the subject of the thread...Islam is not a religion in the sense that Americans think of religion. We consider a religion to be a set of beliefs, an organization with buildings, real estate, a cadre of clergy or some sort, and believers. We pre-suppose that religious believers...

I don't know about Indiana, but in Western Pennsylvania the Amish (and similar communities) send their future teachers to college, and most of them have degrees. My wife graduated with a couple of them (California University of Pennsylvania). A metric "tonne" and a short "ton" are close enough that ...

Are the Brits too stupid to indemnify their troops against personal suits for actions taken in the context of their official duties?

Jesus.

Here in the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, one must declare a party affiliation when registering to vote - which cannot be done on election day at the polls. Allowing "anyone" to vote in either party's primary is insanity. One who is inclined to support either party would only have subversive i...

Our financial irresponsibility cannot be blamed on Barry; it is the entire political class, whose motto appears to be the same as that of the great statesman/philosopher, Alfred E. Newman.
