Tomorrow TCM begins its annual “31 Days of Oscar” celebration so the picking will be difficult and feel free to respectfully disagree in the comments. The first night is nearly impossible from the get-go…. because I don’t like Babs (though I do like Funny Girl) I’m going with these two: I’m biased — sue me: [...]
I didn’t see any embedding on the website (our tax dollars at work!), but if you click on the picture, or here, you should be taken to the site. I love Threedonia! About ten days ago I was held captive in an Hospital emergency room while this program was on. I found [...] Is on air… call in 310-878-2273 and help us talk health care with Veruckt and listen at Right Talk Radio live here. Share on Facebook Since the Superbowl is a week away, and meaningful baseball seems impossibly distant in the middle of a New England cold snap, I give you… …cricket? Share on [...] I concur with John FN Wayne’s post that “Intellectual” used to mean “intelligent”. I think he misses the bullseye by a slim margin — and this may be picking nits. The biggest problem with many (so-called) Intellectuals — in addition to having to suffer no consequences for their ideas as Thomas Sowell aptly points [...] Tonight’s “TCM Import” is from Iran: Abbas Kiraosatami and his 1998 film Taste of Cherry. It might well be subtitled “Talk Me To Death” — the hero drives his truck around Tehran, looking for someone who will bury him after he commits suicide that evening. Much chatter about life, death, and the price of pistachios [...] Earlier today (it’s late Saturday) I did the “good son in law” thing and took my mother in law to a gospel concert… with this group Ernie Haase & Signature Sound. She grew up in Indiana and I grew up in Texas so we grew up on similar music (though this is more Southern and [...] I can hear it now – “Is that the guy from ‘Men in Black?’” Rip Torn, veteran actor, was busted attempting to rob a bank in Connecticut. Torn allegedly broke into the Litchfield Bankcorp building Salisbury, Conn., where he lives, at around 9:40 p.m., according a police report posted on the gossip site TMZ. [...] “Did you see Obama at the Republican retreat?” That was the question from my usually apolitical co-worker – a question that caught me by surprise - as I scurried to my shift last night. Most of my jaunts to work (which is at the editorial department of a newspaper), I’m more likely to have a [...] Share on Facebook This is the first in a series of Academy Award-prep Weekend Fives, all leading up to my liveblog of the event itself. Yes: I have finally healed from that sword I fell on last year for you people. Eric Cantor isn’t the only one tanned, rested, & ready. Today’s Five is a riff on a [...] I saw this a couple of years ago and forgot about it until reminded earlier today…. This is John Tyler — 10th President of the United States from 1841-1844. Born in 1790 — nine years before George Washington died. Tyler died in 1862. This is Harrison Tyler… John Tyler’s GRANDSON — no greats [...] Something for the men and the ladies…. I live in the U.S. of A dammit… I don’t have to pick just one movie. Tomorrow is a banner lineup again… I’m going with two though… First up: Wuthering Heights (1939) A married noblewoman fights her lifelong attraction to a charismatic gypsy. Cast: Laurence Olivier, Merle [...] Rich has an article up at Big Journalism on the James O’Keefe incident at Senator Landrieu’s office. The piece is fine, but I don’t like the picture that accompanies it: Come on, Rich! Be yourself… There we go. Anyway, O’Keefe shouldn’t have infiltrated the senator’s office, and he should be punished for his [...] Share on Facebook I was never one of the legion of admirers of “Catcher in the Rye.” Well written? Sure. But also petulant, self-serving and – despite its legendary status as a ground-breaking piece of literature, rather obvious. But then I grew up in the 60′s so cynicism and nihilism were pretty much the order of the [...] The sad thing about it is, the person this letter is intended for would consider him a tired senile old man… Dear President Obama, My name is Harold Estes, approaching 95 on December 13 of this year. People meeting me for the first time don’t believe my age because I remain wrinkle free and pretty [...] There was one auto maker in the USA that made a profit in 2009. It was the one not bailed out by the government. Coincidence? I think not. DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) – Ford Motor Co. made $2.7 billion in 2009, its first annual profit in four years. The automaker on Thursday also forecast a [...] |
