    I'm still waiting for a credible source to tell us where all those secret CIA prisons are that are whisking good law abiding American Citizens out of their beds at night to be beaten and tortured because they disagree with "The Administration".



    In the original post I linked to a video clip of an interview in which the interviewee was not allowed to speak because the interviewer kept railing that he wanted proof of secret prisons, insinuating they did not exist. You have been defending that. Now I gave you a video clip showing GWB himself acknowledging that fact.

    A few of the people caught up in McCarthyism were actual Russian spies.The overwhelming majority, say 99.9%, were Americans targeted for exercising their freedom of speech, who held unpopular views, or who challenged the prevailing orthodoxy. At that time, with little technical prowess, the primary weapon of the government was the loyalty oath. If someone wouldn’t swear the oath, or would not swear never to have been a communist, their lives and careers were targeted for destruction.



    Where are the Joseph Welch's now when we really need them?

    If you're going to discuss overall feel and performances of movies feel free to to it out in the open, but . . . PLEASE . . . if you're going to give away endings to movies currently in release, do it in PMs. ;)



    Yeah! What he said! Especially when it is a Coen Bros film!>:(

    No she didn't. I thought the point of an interview was for the interviewer to ask questions and the interviewee to answer them. This woman made it very clear early on she was only there to promote her book and that she had no intention of answering any questions.

    Hello? You mean to tell us you have NEVER seen the author of a newly-released book brought on a talk show to talk about the book. The book was the REASON she was invited on the show. Every other talk show such as Leno, Letterman, Jon Stewart, etc, invites authors of new books on their show to TALK ABOUT THE BOOK.

    I never realized the purpose of an interview was to prevent the interviewee from speaking:

    Well, in the time she did have to speak, she didn't present a very good case for her point of view.



    Damned hard to present a case when the interviewer won't stop interrupting.

    So, where are you heading this season?



    Colorado Rockies, this is where I hope to see snow for the 1st time:)


    You haven't seen snow before? Do you plan to try skiing?

    Even more important than being drunk, however, is having the right car. You have to get a car that handles really well. This is extremely important, and there's a lot of debate on this subject – about what kind of car handles best. Some say a front-engined car;some say a rear-engined car. I say a rented car. Nothing handles better than a rented car. You can go faster, turn corners sharper, and put the transmission into reverse while going forward at a higher rate of speed in a rented car than in any other kind. You can also park without looking, and can use the trunk as an ice chest. Another thing about a rented car is that it's an all-terrain vehicle. Mud, snow, water, woods – you can take a rented car anywhere. True, you can't always get it back – but that's not your problem, is it?

    April 8,1951 a 200 lap race was held before 9,000 fans... Marshal Teague in a Hudson won the race over Johnny Mantz in a Nash Ambassador... Slick Smith was actually driving the Nash at the finish in relief for Mantz...The biggest news of the race as far as I am concerned was the Frank Mundy story... Mundy went to Gardena without a ride and when no California car became available he took matters into his own hands... He rented a 1950 Chevrolet at a rental agency downtown and qualified 17th... He finished the race 11th and waited till dark to return the car so the employees would not notice the bald tires on the car after racing.... I wonder if rental cars always matched the templates... Oh you mean no templates back then , huh...

    [Finally went to a walk-in clinic today, and was diagnosed with Thrush, whatever the fuck that is, kbordson?



    Ugh!:o Googling turns up plenty of hits indicating a Candida fungus infection, usually caused by compromised immune system. Sounds horrid! My sympathies.[:/]

    Here are some choices.



    I'll be damned! There are some very good choices there.

    Didn't recognize #4 until I followed the link. Best line: "You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig.":D

    For some strange reason I never saw #20 "The Usual Suspects" until a year ago. DAMN good movie!
