I've never read any spy novels, and I am not really a fan of James biond movies (though I've seen them all), but I laughed my head off at Maxwell Smart and Austin Powers.

Matthew and John (Metanyahu and Yochanon) were two of the original 12 disciples. Extra-Biblical writings show that John lived to be well into his 90s. Luke was an associate of Paul's, and Mark is believed to have been Peter's personal scribe. So these gentlemen were very close to the actual events -...

Being from New Orleans, I naturally love New Orleans Dixieland jazz. It can always cheers me up and at the same time make me feel very homesick. I listen to Fats Domino (happy birthday, Fats!), Louis Armstrong, and the less-universally known folks like Papa Celestine, Professor Longhair, and others ...

I have a special admiration guys like Cohen and Hitchens. It was some of the insane things I was hearing from the left that also drove me at least partially away from the ideology I had supported my entire adult life more than anything else. Whether it's the blind support of the Palestinians and vi...

I'm glad he was finally recognized; he deserved that honor.

I agree with Corlyss, and I would agree with you as well, but only up to a point. For normal people, we want the earth to be cleaner, healthier and happier, and we can do our own part. But to Environmental Socialists, this is all about politics and achieving what Communism never could: people exist...

Dasiy Writes: It has its own messiah - Al Gore himself - complete with a denial of Jesus that has been ongoing in Liberal circles for years. I’m not sure there’s a connect there—has Gore renounced Christ---? Are there Jewish lefties out there who still run and finance Hollywood….And if so is James ...

That's great. I saw that on Mad TV years ago, and it is still funny. It manages to be respectful in spite of everything, whicgh is more than I can say of the way things go now.

Gary, as far as I know, Max Scheck was no relation to Lon Chaney, although they both belonged to the brotherhood of great early horror films. Murnau's Nosferatu is amazing--it's much, much better and has a greater intensity than Herzog's version; if you ever get the chance to see it on the big scre...

I'm afraid I haven't been doing too much reading lately since I've been sick quite a bit this winter, and have spent a lot of time in bed. I that don't read much when I feel bad. But I've had time to catch up on a lot of good DVDs I've bought and not had time to watch. I loved watching "Rome" and I ...

Daisy

Well...if we want to really, really, really break it all down, what we are looking at is a long string of global events, mostly coming from Europe, which originated with the rise of global explordation itself. Tie the threads together, and they all go back at least that far. Take it even further, an...

That's okay, guys. When Iran drops a bomb on YOU, you won't be laughing.

And they can keep their pistachios.

Vilsack who?

Corlyss, You can politicize environmentalism all you want, but it stands that the earth is our environment and it behooves us to do what we can not to destroy it. I know that not all environmentalists are politically-motivated, because I know how I personally feel. it has nought to do with politics...

I think this is hilarious, and yes they do deserve each other. Actually, although I'm a native of New Orleans, I've lived for the past 20 years in a suburb of Aiken SC, Thurmond's hometown. Most local people have forgiven the old boy for his past positions and indiscretions because he cleaned up his...

Cool. That, of course, would come after suing each other for plaguerism.

Well, call me simple but I recall the Cold War/WWIII as an era of indulgence, punk rock, skateboards, gay activism and stuff, not the mobilization of the population to industrial warfare as occurred in WWI and WWII. But it seems this is one of those questions whose answer can be approached many way...

Daisy

Don't forget the Wars of Independence of Latin America, which started because Spain was occupied by Napoleon and therefore unable to control events in America. I didn't forget. I was including all of that, including the American War of 1812, into the Napoleonic wars. All of this is what made these ...

Daisy

What then about the Seven Years War, which had more fighting in the Americas than the Napoleonic Wars? You could certainly make that argument, yes indeed, and it dragged on for more than seven years. It included the American Revolution (which was not really so much a revolution as it was a separati...

As someone who for many personal reasons feels a great love for, and connection with England, I feel great concern for your country and what is happening there. But what is happening is not unlike some of what is happening in America. The Left has taken over in England, and is trying very hard to ta...

Well, the whole thing is so stupid that it is laughable. Jewish names like Miriam, Yosef and Yeshua (Mary, Joseph & Jesus, if you can't figure that one out) were extremely ordinary names, and Miriam and Yosef still are - how 'bout that? Such names are among many that can be found in great numbers on...

I didn't watch 'em this year because I want to be entertained, not lectured to about Hollywood's hypocritical politics. However, I do think the top honors went to the right people, from what little I have seen of these movies. And then, of course, there is Al Gore. He proved to me that he's exactly ...

Forgive me for not having weighed in on this one since the other day, but I wasn't able to come to this forum yesterday, and may not be able to comment again at any length until tomorrow. But I have my opinions, which you may or may not wish to hear. Until then...

If we want to get into this sort of discourse, then the real World War I began in 1789 and ended with the exile of Napoleon to St.Helena. Why do I say this? The french revolution and the rise of napoleon not only involved all of Europe, but spread across the sea into the Americas, notably Haiti, Lou...

Perhaps she did not want to marry anyone just in case a marriage would prevent her from getting her hands on the millions. A new marriage would certainly have diminished her chances in Australia.

Cool! I love it when Democrats eat each other for lunch. They think they know how to run everything, but I think most normal people can see what they are really like when they get some of their power back, show how greedy and power-mad they really are - and how bancrupt they are when it comes to sol...

I guess Rome will have to be discussed elsewhere. (I'm a history nut) As for the "Annie Cannoli" Circus, I don't think a single one of those men will turn out to be that baby's father, and they are still talking about having a maternity test, to make sure a black market baby wasn't slipped in to rep...

I feel I'm in very honorable company! I was born in the Year of the Pig, myself!

Here's a little diversion from the sublime to the ridiculous.

1. Has anyone besides me been watch "Rome" on HBO?

2. As I am sure otrhers have been following the absurdities of the Anna Nichole mess (or as my husband calls her, "Anna Canolli") on TV?

Just a little diversion from the usual.

Oh man, does that ever sound like something to die for!

Given that the Christian Right and neo-conservatives in this country seem more obsessed with Israel than the Jewish community, the "I" word is becoming a potentially lethal component of today's political dialogue. I can't speak for everyone, obviously, but as a Christian, I for one care a lot about...

I can't stand Michael Moore, another big Leftist Liar (how do they make so many of 'em?), but I do have to give him some kudos for the way he stuck it to Rev. Fred Phelps, that most un-christian of "Christian" spokesmen.

What is heartening to me is the progress that Gore has made in trying to seperate climate change from politics. By taking the issue to education groups, private corporations, churches and foreign nationalities. Oh, c'mon...gimme a break! Politics is what he's always been about. Al Gore is no scient...

Islam and christianity aren't the only religions with scisms. Scisms and religions seem to go hand in hand because people have different opinions, even on such seemingly-fixed things like belief systems. And it doesn't stop with religions. Ever belong to a club or similar organization, including an ...

The thing about "Amadeus" that almost everyone forgets is that this is not a biography of Mozart, but a tale told by an old madman who is spinning his rambling fantasies. It is not at all unlike one of the many films about the legendary Sweeny Todd (who never in fact existed, but is an English urban...

There are lots of great authors out there, and there are quite a few I enjoy, but my favorite has got to be Tolkien.

Oboy, I've got kitchen stories! My kitchen has been in the process of remodelling for several unending years, as well as the rest of my house, and I feel like I am caught in Tom Hanks' Money Pit.

What makes this all so annoying is not that Global Warming doesn't exist, but there is this automatic assumption that it is all 100% the fault of human activity, and no one wants to talk about the climactic changes that have always taken place on this planet. Liberal Polotics is taking advantage of ...

We seem to have forgotten the original statement: that Environmentalists consider the denial of Global Warming equivilent to the denial of the Holocaust. The fact is, that the Holocaust is a well documented fact of history, denied only by rabid anti-semites and by equally rabid Islamists who hate Is...

Well, I love Gilbert & Sullivan, which arguably is still classical music. But I also enjoy Broadway tunes, Japanese music, New Age music, "world" music, and of course Dixieland (I am from New Orleans).

Let me first establish a couple of realities. While I have nothing against most individuals who vote for Democrats, since I grew up in a Democrat city and many of my friends are Democrat voters, I nevertheless loath fanatical Liberals and almost all Democrat politicians and their assorted hangers-on...

I am so beastly sick of living in a PC world that sometimes I wish we'd get taken right out of it - and you know what I mean, fellow Christians. "They" would never miss us, and we'd have the last laugh. That may sound ugly, but again, you know what I mean. Anyway, has anyone seen the classic South P...
