Gene Kelly 1943 w Lucille Ball and Tommy Dorsey's orchestra at the 6:30 mark. Virtuoso dancing and pyrotechnics for the sheer joy of it!

Obama's push for socialized medicine is creepily similar to the Thalidomide fiasco of 1957-1961.

Find out why he's:

President Thalidomide

Thoughts on passivity, authority and cynicism.

Another reason to detest Obama and his phalanx of flunkies.

"The White House has demonstrated our willingness to exclude Fox from … television interviews," administration spokesman Joshua Earnest said Friday, "but yesterday we didn't."

Gene Kelly. What a talent. I'd like to be reincarnated as Gene Kelly. Of course his being dead makes that just a little problematic.

Let's just hope "the Bronx is up" tonight!

I went out to see, er, Saw yesterday and all the propaganda warnings you may have heard are true. The anti-insurance company rhetoric is truly egregious and in your face. There's one scene in fact where Tobin Bell goes on and on in a monologue about how the problem isn't the government it's the insurance companies. I expect to see it soon in an Obamacare commercial because after all who would know more about who deserves to live than the Jigsaw killer?

That said, take your horror movie chills when you can. These movies have always been about setting up some convoluted situation in an effort to surprise you at the end and in this respect it succeeded. I'm actually a little bit impressed at the fact that these things have gotten so complicated by this point that you can't even leave the theater to hit the head without missing some important plot point or hint at the ending. When you couple that with the fact that all the horror previews were for movies that looked either extremely lame (yet another vampire flick) or even more tendentiously PC (Avatar), I think this is probably the best you're going to do in the theater for a while.

Lucille Ball was georgeous in her early starlet days wasn't she?

that and you're happily still with us.

I noticed how no one is saying that maybe doctors and hospitals are making too much $$? How come no one says this about the medical field but will say it about wall st workers and insurance companies? Capitalism is fine for some areas but not for others???

The movie's called "Anchors Aweigh," technically. "Singin'" gets screened pretty regularly if you live in a town with good revival theaters. I think it's probably in better shape than "Wizard," since it's not as old.

My favorite oft-overlooked Kelly film: "It's Always Fair Weather." Co-stars Cyd Charisse, features Kelly dancing on roller skates, and Dolores Grey (as a neurotic, arrogant, tv hostess) steals the movie outright with "Thanks A Lot But No Thanks."

Just the paperwork alone makes them earn their pay. Nurses are NOT overpaid. Congressmen and women are over paid. Chuck "F–king" Schumer is overpaid.

Lucille Ball was a major babe…and she could be a lot of fun on screen. Check out BEST FOOT FORWARD – a 1943 Technicolor musical in which she plays herself at prom night at a boy's military academy.

Cadet – "Gee, Miss Ball. I bet this makes you feel young again."
Lucille – "Yes, it does….you dear boy."

And the tone in her voice! LOL!

The man knows how to pitch in a big game.

Gene Kelly was THE consumate dancer in the movies IMHO. I know I'll get arguments that Fred Astaire was IT, but I'd much rather watch Gene.

Gene looks like the gay guy from Grease 2 in that shot.

Thanks, I knew I forgot something. It's been a long time since I've seen that movie.

They had very different styles, so 'arguments' are pointless. Amen. 2 brilliant dancers. Amen.

When a friend asked, "Where are the pics of the million man concentration camps," I could never find them. The pics that were offered were never in context – say as a high overview so that they could be confirmed as much more than a regular prison watch tower.

The other side of it is that I can remember back to the 80s when Oliver North openly said that he was involved in building 10 camps for possible terrorist. No pics of them today either.

If you try to research the Executive Orders, you will find that some of them are readily available on government web sites and other might or not be. I have yet to dig deeply enough to confirm that they are any more than an accusation someone posted made to look like the real thing.

Further I was directed to this site by credible which is purported to be government documents that show that the Rothschilds own the American banks that own the New York Federal Bank: http://www.barefootsworld.net/docs/fedchart.txt.

ict take a look at the Nicolas Brothers and let me know what you think. I believe you'll revise your statement.

Somebody minused me. That's cool, but I just want to make clear that I am not saying Gene looks gay. I just don't know the actor's name (and I didn't even know he was gay until recently). Let me look him up and rephrase:

Gene looks like Peter Frechette–Grease 2's own Louis DiMucci–in that shot.

low 50's no rain, Pettite giving 'em the evil eye over a black Rawlings, I'm ready!

I haven’t had the time to go through government records to confirm that this is real, but I did come across this site which names the libraries (mostly law libraries) that contains the books that confirm authenticity: http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/2596890. You plug in your zip code for the libraries in your area.

I intend to get to one of these libraries next week.

The implications if this turns out to be true are staggering when it comes to the Rothschild, Soros faction of the Bilderbergers, New York Fed, Goldman-Sachs, US Treasury, Senate & Congress (Schumer & Frank, et al) nexus.

Yes! Which I didn't appreciate until finally seeing it shown in letterbox–regular tv brutally chopped off the sides.

Actually I grew up in and still live in Texas, after my military parents and I came back from Japan where I was born and originally grew up. I do love New York, if not their wacky liberal politicians, and I try to get there as often as I can which hasn't been as often as I'd like, I passed over NYC this summer on the way to Rome. I've been a Yankees fan since the early seventies from about when George saved the franchise. I actually got in my car once and drove to a Yankees game once. It was the sole reason for the trip. I'm keeping on eye on the weather through pre-game reports.

In a head to head contest between Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire, my own choice would be Kelly not so much on the basis of talent, (both men oozed artistry and athleticism from every pore), but more for a his versatility. He did ballet, jazz, and tap in addition to singing. I love the feeling of anticipation I get right before the "Moses, Suposes" duo with Donald O'Connor from "Singin" in the Rain", or the "Miss Turnstile Ballet" with Vera Ellen from "On the Town". Quality stuff with absolutely nothing extra needed. Sigh…. Thanks for posting a real, great star….

I envy anyone who never had to live under an Obama presidency.

Well Bennett, the Yanks were certainly up to it tonight!!! Pettit was like the Pettit of old as I'm sure you saw. Four more for #27!!!

Gene Kelly matched everything Astaire could do… dancing backwards and in high heels. SHE was the best IMHO.

Love, Love, Love! Gene Kelly. Spectacular dancer, great singer, great actor, and very-very-very nice to look at! I haven't seen all of his films, but "Singing in the Rain" is one of my fav films of all time, and really enjoy him in this film.

But… my favorite part of "Singing in the Rain" is actress Jean Hagen (as Lina Lamont) saying in her crazy voice "Do ya think I'm dumb or somethin'?" after reading her contract to the movie film producer, Cosmo Brown (Donald O'Conner) and Don Lockwood (Gene Kelly) when they try to replace her with Kathy Seldon (gorgeous Debbie Reynolds) – Just great! Love it.

Great game from Pettitte (and great glove work from Texiera and Cano).

Should be a great Series. The two teams have very similar talents. Yanks have an edge in the bullpen dept., provided Hughes straightens out.

Like you said, four more to go!
