The Naked Spur (1953) A captive outlaw uses psychological tactics to prey on a bounty hunter. Cast: James Stewart, Janet Leigh, Robert Ryan, Ralph Meeker Dir: Anthony Mann C-92 mins, TV-PG. 12:00 PM EDT. TCM A nice taut and under appreciated Western with a great cast. It’s in a vein with 3:10 to [...] I teach a few courses in our forensic psychology program so I find this stuff fascinating. NPR (which actually has some very good stuff) is doing a series of stories on neuroscience and crime…. here’s a link to the first one about neuroscientist James Fallon — a professor at UC-Irvine and a descendant of Lizzie [...] Here’s a good brief (and mostly objective) history of the beginnings of the modern judicial confirmation process and its lousiness with partisan politics. As with most things bad about today’s politics… they intersect with both LBJ and Richard Nixon. From the Sept./Oct. 2009 issue of Humanities: In the aftermath of the Senate hearings to [...] The fine folks at the Collectors’ Choice label re-released Rawhide’s Clint Eastwood Sings Cowboy Favorites last week. Nothing great, but not too shabby, neither, and tons better than the pop country junk comin’ outta Trashville these days. Share on [...] Caught the new Rush documentary “Beyond the Lighted Stage.” Made me think of the band’s greatest disciples. Share on Facebook The democratization of quality of life in this country has been a recent theme of mine, so it’s with some satisfaction I see others like Victor Davis Hanson talking about how middle class life, and even some upper lower class life, is quite different than it was a generation ago. Jonah Goldberg touched on [...] That’s right you pretentious hacks over at libertasfilmmagazine: eat Threedonia’s dust. I scooted over to Alexa (“The Web Information Company!’ – er, isn’t everybody on the web about information?) to see how we stacked up against the new, not improved, libertas. Threedonia’s traffic rank: 307,200!!!! Libertasfilmmagazine’s traffic rank: 1,731,303 HAH! Other interesting things I [...] I’ve had my ups and downs with David Frum, the former Bush speechwriter, who has compelled conservatives to reach toward the middle and has taken on Rush Limbaugh in a Newsweek cover. But I find this knee-jerk and a little totalitarian. I’m afraid that I don’t consider FrumForum to be a conservative website, so I’m [...] “Alex, I believe the question is: how many windmills would we have to build to replace petroleum in order to fulfill president Obama’s dream of a green, all-electric America?” “You are correct sir!” If you like thought experiments and/or math, keep reading. If not, move along and take your chances with Floyd’s latest – [...] In another decision released today, the Supreme Court found against the Christian Legal Society’s bid to remain a registered student organization and exclude openly gay members against the school policy of The Hastings College of the Law. In other words… public schools can now ban religious groups who exclude gays from leadership positions or membership [...] The Supreme Court has done the right thing vis-a-vis guns. In a 5-4 decision they struck down Chicago’s Draconian ban on handguns. Sam Alito wrote the majority opinion. I blame Bush for this! From The Heritage Foundation’s blog The Foundry: In a long-awaited decision on the final day of the Supreme Court’s term, a 5-4 [...] Good Monday morning/afternoon Threedonians. We hope you had a fine time swinging, collecting stamps, writing EPA manuals whatever it is you do — besides reading Threedonia. As usual while y’all were gallivanting around we at Threedonia World Headquarters were busy looking for pictures of Salma Hayek toiling away to bring you our usual cut and [...] As the World Cup focus wanes significantly now that the US has been eliminated (being an American with Euro-mutt ancestry, though, I still have the German and Slovakian dogs in the hunt), plus the 2010 Little League’s conclusion this past week means no umping (i.e., the best seat in the house) till next year, [...] From the London Daily Telegraph: Michael Oren, Israel’s ambassador to Washington, told foreign ministry colleagues at a private briefing in Jerusalem that they were facing a long and potentially irrevocable estrangement. Sources said Mr Oren told the meeting: “There is no crisis in Israel-US relations because in a crisis there are ups and downs. [...] Besides the weekly Sunday Gospel posts and the occasional comment here and there on religion generally I try not to use this spot to proselytize or beat a specific theological drum too hard, but every so often I come across something I feel like sharing. One of my favorite blogs is by a pastor from [...] As y’all may know the typical middle and upper class rabble are destroying Toronto during the G-20 Summit this week. So of course Toronto’s finest are knocking heads and taking names right? Not according to Mark Steyn: I may have to revise my old line about the British police being “the most monumentally useless in [...] |
