Good...

Jeff Dunham is terrifically funny - greatly have enjoyed his Achmed the dead terrorist, as well as his other characters... glad to see these posted... [more, more... ]

Wow, a personal attack. A clear example that when you press someone's buttons, they lose their basic civility. Hardly, just a general observation... one gets tired of all the concrete-bounders pretending principles...

There’s much more than 13 episodes, I take it you’re watching the 1st series (Adventures of…). The first episode should have been A Scandal in Bohemia, I really like the reveal and introductory dialogue for Brett’s Holmes, it starts 4 ½ minutes in. Yeah, those are the 13 episodes I was referring to. I'm glad you posted the remarks that Holmes makes about his drug use. That part caught my attention as well -- it is an exceptionally well-written monologue -- and I was thinking about posting it myself. "My mind rebels at stagnation." Ghs Brett managed to get 44 of the Holmes saga in before he died [there are 60 total], the most of any actor in the role - and general consideration is that he is the best personification of Holmes of any over the years...

How many suicide bombers do the Israelis send over to the other side? While the Israelis are not "angels" they are not insane religious fanatics, by and large. The gung ho Orthodox types are in a tiny minority and they are kept under strong control by the Israeli government. Let me know when you hear about Jews hijacking airplanes and flying them into tall buildings filled with non-combatants. Or when Jewish crazies strap on bombs and blow themselves up in supermarkets and pizza parlors. Ba'al Chatzaf Right, and likewise I've heard of Israeli soldiers bulldozing homes and shooting citizens in Gaza. No doubt there have been heinous crimes by fanatics on both sides that deserve no sympathy, whether through terrorism or state-condoned behavior. Ultimately though, structuring our vision into the dualism good/evil is about the most useless perspective someone can take towards resolving the conflict. I'm not saying I don't have a preference, but at least I don't have the imagination that one side is angelic while the other demonic. yeah - just the imagination of a useful idiot...

Very interesting, to say the least...

We Florida Senior Citizens do not run over dead pedestrians... we may bump them from time to time, but that's just leveling the road from potholes...

Too funny...

Actually, it is THESE United States...

Yes - Happy B'day to youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...

Well said...

Not to mention the crude which seeps naturally from cracks in the floor, or the tarballs that naturally deposit on shores - they're rarely if ever mentioned, despite 63% of such seepage comes naturally, not from oil wells...

Wonderful news - and to think could get to to see it launch live on the net!! wonders!!! ;)

Hilarious... wonderfully hilarious...

Wonder how it compares to what she wrote in her newsletter...

Yes, this was the quote I was referring to. Beautiful, isn't it. I don't find this all that significant. Rand was accenting something important that many miss or do not think of or see, the importance of the self. However, I don't think she was saying that the self is everything and that all else is relatively irrelevant. It is not an either-or but a both and. It is appreciating the self in the very act of appreciation. But this does not mean the self is the only or main thing to be appreciated. Perspective. I am one being on a middling planet of an ordinary star among billions in the galaxy which is an ordinary galaxy among billions like it. However, I have a mind that can grasp that. Well said - and welcome to OL...

Gee. I've become Mr. Inspiration. --Brant It's amazing where humor oozes out...

Can see three - what would be the fourth? [Richard Gleaves' Galt Speech visualization?]

We are all open books, even in the dark...

Interesting - but doubt it'll get anywhere [unless after November?]

Moi. --Brant He's just a plain brat... [j/k]

Perhaps over-rated?

Secondhand Lions... one of the best 'kid growing up' films ever - my Uncle Homer was like those guys, an inspiration to living life to its fullest while you can - and going out in style... Robert Duval's character was, am sure, an alter ego to many viewers - full of independence, willfulness, and self assurance... so many good lines, too...

Secondhand Lions Ratatoulle Don Juan deMarco Cast Away The Name of the Rose Creator The Family Man and yes - Once Upon a Time in the West Sleepless In Seattle Some Like It Hot Inherit the Wind and Groundhog Day

Hmmm - and here I thought, on seeing the title, that this was going to be about Democrat Islamists...
