Open Thread Sunday

To anyone who says that Gov. Palin is keeping the conterversy alive with Letterman. I haven't heard her bring it up herself. It's either Letterman bringing it back up or the State Controled Media that's doing it. All Gov. Palin is doing is responding to them, not bringing it up.

I wish the left wing MSM could be honest, but that's too high a threshold for them.

Well, it's an open thread so here is my contribution. It's Flag Day so please fly the standard. Also HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE US ARMY! 234 YEARS YOUNG! HOOAH!

SUA SPONTE

So millions of people around the country are rallying to her defense, and she's winning sympathy even from NOW — maybe that whooshing sound is the wind blowing through your empty skull, you moron.

Don't ever stop to add up all the times you've been wrong; it'd kill you to face the truth.

"ESSAYONS" (let us try) Unitied States Army, Engineers.

Speaking of movies and movie stars – Roger Friedman blames his firing from Fox on pressure from $cientologists. http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2009/06/14/2009...

While that might sound far-fetched, it's a pretty good article. When I was involved with the cult, it was a regular practice to go after people's jobs and careers if they spoke out against the cult. It is, in fact, Hubbard policy.

Thanks for the reminder oldsoldier.

Are you referring the only man in America with the absolute courage and intellectual curiousity to question the socialist policies of this TOTUS? Who upon asking this simple and straightforward question was subjected to ugly fascism unleashed while the left applauded….first they came for the plumbers……

And here I thought the left was for the working man…

Yeah, the man working at Starbucks, Borders and art studios across the nation!

And all the men in leadership at all the unions.

Nolte loves the 'Big Chill'. For shame.

The thing I couldn't reconcile in "Grand Canyon" was that we were supposed to see Kevin Kline as a protagonist, but he was cheating on his wife. I'm sure the point was supposed to be something along the lines of good people do stupid things too… I get that, but prefer that my heroes have a better starting point than that. I've never seen "The English Patient" because I co-worker saw it and said he it had a protagonist-is-having-an-affair storyline and he couldn't stand it for that reason– I actually had a lot more respect for my co-worker after that. It gives me hope when people I know are actually offended by bad behavior.

I've never actually heard of any of the anti-American rants by Danny Glover– so he hasn't ruined any movies for me yet.

It's great that you support everything Obama does as leader of our country. The same can't be said for your fellow conservatives.

"Evil should be defeated everywhere"

Absolutely Right! I suggest we start at "The White House"…………………..

Well, you're assuming a lot there…what's it like having a super negative reputation?

And you're confusing supporting a leader and and supporting the country with supporting a man who believes he's the new messiah and being proud of your country just because an Alinsky acolyte is now in the White House.

What's sad is that this President doesn't wish to help anyone or bring us together, he just wants to accumulate as much power as possible.

Are you behind the idea of the President running not one, but TWO car companies AF? If that's not fascism, I don't know what is. Are you thrilled about the President telling people what they can and cannot earn? Do you like the idea of a President who has the media in his pocket and wants to decide whose voice should and should be heard? Is that all kosher with you AF?

I laughed when your said threw out the "Bush=Hitler" or Bush was a fascist when everyone can plainly see right now, it's the democrats who are the fascists.

Deal with it AF. Your side is full of the fascists.

Looking at Iran right now, I wonder if they're headed to another revolution. Their sham democracy has been exposed, and the younger people of the country are angry. Maybe this time they might get it right. On the other hand, the US will probably not help them. After all, Obama seems to accept the results of a rigged election as legit and expects to keep doing one-sided diplomacy with a madman.

Hard to say.

At least it's a warm Sunday afternoon.

Then the Speaker of the House's office. Majority leader of the senate.. Then the Chairman of the House Apporpations committiee (for bad mouthing his fellow marines)

That would be good for a start.

Loved Kevin Costner as the corpse. He was brilliant!

I understand probably all of those actors are libs, but when they get as angry/nasty like Glover, I just can no longer watch them, let alone put money in his pocket.

Context is everything. I think my co-worker was kind of tired of the hype surrounding TEP, so maybe he was extra cynical about it. I'll have to watch it sometime.

I totally agree with you about the Kline vs. the Parker characters. His betrayal was worse. She was pretty much the archetype of women who have affairs with married men who hang on the hope that someday they'll leave the wife. I've known women like that and they go from one disfunctional relationship to the next never thinking they might be the ones making the mistakes. Like you said, it doesn't justify her actions, but the Kline character represents, to me anyway, all the guys who take advantage of women like that.

Thanks for such a great break-down of The English Patient. It gives me some perspective and now I feel like I can give it a chance.

We could always asak Jimmy Carter to go in to verify the election. Isn't that what he is good for? What great dynamics such a thing would behold.

A bunch of baby boomers being preachy about how bad the world is after they screwed it up. Insufferable smug jerks.

After I saw this movie, I thought a better title would be "Brentwood Problems" (as in 'Ooh, poor rich people!').

For you readers not living in Los Angeles, Brentwood is a very affluent neighborhood.
The population appears to be mostly people who are very anxious about social status and fixated on materialism; utterly driven by the imporance which social status and materialism has to them…
[Disclaimer: I've met some very likable, respectable people who live there.]

Lawrence Kasdan showed promise earlier in his career, but when he made Grand Canyon, the modest limit of his talent & imagination became clear.

The major black characters (and their relationships with white characters) seem like fantasies driven by a need to assuage the white liberal guilt and race/class anxiety of affluent white people who might typlify Brentwood.

Ughhhh!

TOTALLY agree with you, TJ, on Danny Glover. Glover gives me the creeps the same way Rev. Wright does. That hatred just reeks from him. I never see any of his movies – which is a twofer. If I don't watch a movie with Glover, I don't lose my money or my lunch.
