Well, I’ve always blamed the Assembly as a whole. I have never blamed Arnold for the mess the state is is in. If anything, he tried to do something. And though I hate to admit it, there is enough blame to share […]

Whether Meg would do a better job than Jerry is like arguing which of the Three Stooges is the brightest. Recall, the voters didn’t have much of a selection. Apparently, the best and the brightest didn’t want […]

For me, gay issues are about tolorance. As far as “relating” or “understanding” the lifestyle, forget it. Not going to happen.
Bottom line, homosexuals having the rights of citizenship is not an unreasonable […]

Nice break from the usual rancor. Thanks for sharing.

Great minds must think alike. I usually get bored with tv (100 channels and nothing to watch) and get my nose in a book. I have a copy of “Killing Lincoln” which I’ll start when I finish a book I’m reading […]

And a happy bunny day to you, Pogo. I’m going to celebrate Easter with an Elizabeth Custer birthday cake. Lighting 172 candles is going to be a chore. : )

I have opinions about state mental institutions, but as you said that’s a different discussion.
Lest I sound like a liberal who’s in favor of making prisons a country club, my biggest criticisms of our current […]

Poor vanity, you are living in a shell. You’ve got alot of catching up to do. Your homework assignment is to watch every western mentioned in this thread and render an unbiased opinion on which one is best. : )

On land, John Barry raised a volunteer force to assist George Washington in the successful campagin of Trenton, 1776-1777.
On the outbreak of war Congress purchased Barry’s ship “Black Prince,” renamed it […]

Good grief! And some of you have college degrees; how did that happen? The Shootist was culmination of John Wayne’s acting experience in a role that demanded maturity. He portrayed a gunfighter fading with the […]

You may have started a shouting match, name calling, free for all, type of debate, Lamonster. Many contend The Searchers (1956) is the best western ever made. Then there are great performances in Stagecoach […]
