I certainly hope the Democrats are compiling a nice long list of all of these things to use in the upcoming elections. The bush adminstration and the Republican congress have forged a ponderous Jacob Marley chain of sins to drag around. I hope the Democrats are to timid to choke them with it.

aren't too timid to choke them with it

I honestly don't think the man has ever had a troubled night's sleep over it. If he did , the thought of using it as shameless political tool would be repulsive to him.

Apparently Howard Dean did some pandering of his own on Pat Robertson's network. I've always felt John McCain was an oppertunistic phoney, but for the life of me I can't fathom why the Democrats pander to a group who will NEVER support them and insult their own dase in the process.

The Republicans will retain the House and Senate in November and the Whitehouse in 08. Why? Because the Democrats will slap their own in the face to curry favor with the Christian right.

How can it be The Poseidon Adventure without Ernest Borgnine bellowing that line as Stella Stevens swan dives into the fire?

I agree about the CGI effects. Gladiator and Troy started looking like The Wizard of Oz and King Kong looked so artificial from start to finish that it was hard to concentrate on the movie.

Back in 1974 David Bowie imagined a world where people would beg for Big Brother.

This comment was posted on the piece concerning the new poll numbers indicating a 51% disapproval of collecting information on American's phone calls:

"You people who are hyper ventilating over this exagerate you importance.

If you are not conspiring against your country, what are you hiding ?"

I think the Diamond Dogs are sniffing around.

>>>I'm NOT gay! Steadman is gay!"

I'm sorry he had cancer. If he wants to talk about it and cry that's fine. Do it on Oprah. His behavior was not appropriate for the circumstances. He's turning his official role into bad vaudeville.

The country is in a far different place now than it was in the run up to Iraq. I honestly don't think an attack in Iran would be tolerated, but the administration will attempt some fear mongering prior to the fall elections. The Bush administration is completely impotent at this point. The Democrats smell blood in the water, the Republicans are in frantic disarray and the American people have had enough. Not to mention the "coalition of the willing" we could very well find lined up against us. Cheny can huff and puff all he wants. My guess is he won't get his war with Iran.

Stephanie Zacharek has not mentioned what must certainly be the biggest failing of the movie. The heroine does not wear the "cream colored knee legth sweater over black leggings" that she wore in the book. I just hope "the steaming mug of coffee" makes its appearance at the end.

If you're going to make a movie based on a mind-numbingly terrible book, at least get it right!

...He's drunk half the time, and screws Condi a couple times a week.

She's usually blissfully medicated, and when she's not, she's screaming at the slutty twins.

They probably have little time for each other.

Typical upper-crust Republican marriage.

I'm not a fan of the Dixie Chick's music, but I'll buy their new cd.

How much do you want to bet Katie will get a huge settlement, but Tommy gets the kid?

He probably keeps them hidden in his latest copy of Swank.

If this didn't involve pampered, borish atheletes would anyone be interested? Personally, I'm sick of these lowlifes (from the pros on down) being forced down everyone's throats as "role models." The Duke lacrosse tea's behavior has been pretty well document as reprehensible. I don't know if the accused are guilty or inoscent of these particular charges, but I frankly don't care. Guilty or not, they're lowlifes, plain and simple. One of the accused had a prior felony charge (involving a gay-bashing in NY). A real role model, that one. You're all welcome to your sports hero role models...I'll look elsewhere.

If they didn't like you back then I've got knews for you, they won't like you anymore now. Get over it. It sounds like your husband could have done much, much better.

If a family member or loved one of mine had been on that plane and George Bush had the gall to try and use me as a publicity pawn (after ignoring the warnings pre 9/11, sitting in that classroom for 8 minutes after learning of the SECOND plane hitting the Trade Center, hiding after the attacks, and the absolute disasterous consequences of his policies and actions in the aftermath) I would have told him "I'm sorry, but I'm busy..." No , actually I would have told him to go fuck himself.

"Or, that the husband and she have distinct lives and personalities and don't do everything together like they are joined at the hip."

Then she would have said, "My reunion is coming up, are you interested in going?" He would have said "No, I think I'll pass on it." Non-issue. I would never think of going to my reunion without my partner unless he said he wasn't interested in going.

She sounds self-centered and immature, and it sounds like she's dragged her petty issues with her far past highschool...and will probably be dragging them around to everyone's misery for a long time to come. Like I said before, I think the husband could have done much better.

When were we ever fighting al Qaeda in Iraq?

I'm glad I'm gay. This battle of the sexes nonsence bores me silly.
