When we get to watch the idiocy of Bush of Baghdad everyday for free on the idiot box? Lawrence has been restored and special editioned to death. I love a lot of Lean's other films too like Bridge on the River Kwi, Great Expectations, Ryan's Daughter, A Passage to India, and what I think is his best, Doctor Zhivago.
I've always enjoyed you on the radio, and your political satires on Praire Home Companion are some of the smartest and funniest sketches on the American scene. Be well, and keep on doing good works.
...and "Happy Go Lucky" sounds like it's just as stimulating.
You might get too caught up in the scat job you're tryin' to pull, there's just so much pig slop the public can take before their bellies are full.
This swift pig just won't fly, it's already fried bacon fallin' down from the sky...
Why?
Cos Swiftpig can't fly.
Just as obvious as the pork on your plate
And McCain & Palin are about to share that poor dead pig's
fate.
The Eva Braun of Alaska.
And the fat's in the fire
For the phony Swiftpiggers
The facts are too strong
For anybody to deny...
...Ortskommandant Palin.
Benny my boy, what a bunch of people in an audience put together on their own is none of Obama's affair. He did not once ever say "Sarah Palin is a pig." Comprende?
Put that in your "pitbull" pipe
And smoke it.
All of those people who want American forces to stay in Iraq for 10 years? 20 years? 50 years? 100?
I knew there were lots of snow flakes up there, but I didn't know there were so many of the other kind too.
I don't think I've ever seen my own thoughts and feelings so superbly expressed.
Predictable that's the word of the year, predictable, all I see, all I hear...
"Eagle Scout" Ollie North is at it again?
I no more heed to the latest inflated data of scores of stupid polls, any more than I pay attention to the concerns of anxious little trolls.
A Yankee Doodle Dandy
Do or die
A real live son of a bitch spawn of 'ol uncle Spam
Born on the eve of the first of the big lie..
And I laughed too
But Obama didn't call Palin "Porky"
And that's as obvious as the sky is blue.
Meets the beauty queen.
Most people in this country can see right through your blatant bullshit.
This is Salon! Shouldn't we be hearing about Sarah Palin's "Book of Bristol" instead?
But it still won't oink back atcha...
Complete with Tony Orlando & Dawn.
Have their own moose lodge?
The tentative title I hear is "Levi Johnston: Confessions of a Shit Kicker, Knocker Upper, and One Big Bad Assed, Hockey playin', Redneck, Motherfucker?"
"Levi Scores"
Tired 'o gettin' your Yankee Doodles yanked?
Just to tell a phony
You are the Yankee Doodle BOY....
What the scapegoat Bernstein was to the success of Big Brother
Bin Laden is to Bush, the image repository of the dangerous other
Thanks for blowing out the blood vessels of more than a few of the preciously, politically correct around these parts, and especially for rubbing the "righteous" republicans the wrong way. You especially unhinged her highness AKASmith which I can only aplaude. Please, continue to appall, and or entrall, that is all.
Here's an art project for you. Why don't you do a Jackson Pollack by sticking a hand grenade up your ass, pulling the pin, and decorating the walls of your own dimly lit domocile with your own dung.
And hugging telephone poles.
Too bad this movie comes off as a trite TV movie, because it isn't trite subject matter for a good drama. I'm an American of Egyptian-Lybian extraction, and I'd like to see a movie that explores the lives of arabs and or Arab-Americans in our contemporary culture, and what it's like to be on the public's suspicion list sometimes. Or even still, the public's shit list. From the sound of it, "Towelhead" kind of reminds me in tone of Stephen Frear's adaptation of Hanif Kureishi's story "My Beautiful Laundrette," which at the time I saw it, was to me a real routine kind of television drama in most every way. Frear's had some fine intentions, but "Laundrette" just felt like a light entertainment, with the punchy parts left out. Frears though I feel is a good film maker. "Dirty Pretty Things" was one of the most powerful movies I've ever seen about the invisible lives of illegals in London. Anyway, there will be other movies.
You've been dreamin' in the magic kingdom for far too long, most women with any sense know that McCain & Palin would just flat do them wrong.
This shit is news?
Yeah terry, they're workin' their jerk, but the shit doesn't work...
Where did you lift that? From Cosmo or a comicbook?
Your indignation has been duly noted.
For fools.
People get worked up about McCain about as much as they do about taking a shit.
Why would AKASmith make a carefully considered selection when she chooses her resentful choice to knee jerk this election?
tripe of the tripiest hype type.
makes pitbull.
I haven't heard that anywhere, you can't even say "fuckable" without FCC penalty, anywhere on the air!
Stop inventing shit.
..and we're the sorry ass suckas
that's all gettin' played.
And the people around here think that Obama's alright.
Is Asehepe greek for asswipe?
Man, dig this crazy the Palin pageant.
Smith just want to drop her vote in the toilet, so just leave her to her whims, and let her enjoy it.
Things ain't bleak, they get better by the week...
What AKASmith is trying to say is, Obama was poor but not PISS poor. And by the way, don't try to compete with Smith in the who was brought up most the miserably poor sweepstakes. You won't win.
In the problems we're facing.
Very interesting...
AKASmith is a no quitter when it comes to being bitter.
