stands the test of time pretty well, or else I just still like it.
However, I am tired of ... your slanted view of the subject. .... Simply put, the Civil War happened because the South acted like a bunch of children ... -Chris
That was a stupid and gratuitous insult, Vic. General Washington and the rest of the founding fathers weren't trying to depose King George either.
I like Zazu Pitts. Not a great beauty, but a heckuva funny physically comedic actress. And that voice!
Thanks for the background on film editing, MPPPPPP.
...that the War in the Pacific was going to be one of no quarter, no surrender, just simple annihilation. -ExSnipe

The wife and I were driving in to town. Turned on the radio. Man said something about Rush being stuck in a Florida airport, wondered what that was about.
I still say 9/11 in DC could use a GLBETC parade simultaneously. i have all this popcorn.
But it's not really funny. Falling man.
Psst, horde: On 9/11 eve (our time, 9/11 their time) I'll be announcing that we're nuking Mecca as I speak, just to send a message.
D'ya see any problems with that?
I just want to say, while I think the public schooling system must be destroyed, I had the best public school education the world has ever provided.
