"Finally, if you were concerned that there was only one campy
film called "Trapped by the Mormons," that unintentional silent classic
from the 1920s has been remade by a group of Washington hipsters
(now relocated to Brooklyn, N.Y.). You don't want or need a learned
treatise on this topic, but apparently Mormons were perceived in
early-20th century Britain as a murderous cult that abducted young women
into polygamous sexual servitude."
Even before the early-20th century...
The evil villians of the first Sherlock Holmes story, 'A Study in Scarlet' were Mormons.
Sr. Rojo
Besides the Muslims, I'm worried about the effect of these cartoons on the RADICAL AMISH!
King...If the Pats defeat the Steelers will you take us all to the bakery and buy us COOKIES?

"Rome is better on the radio than TV
"His TV show sucks, as does 99% of everything else on ESPN. But the thing that irks me about Rome is he talks shit and talks and talks shit until he interviews someone then he kisses ass like he's E! to some Hollywood diva."
Do you remember when Bills Quarterback, Jim Everett, kicked Rome's butt on ESPN TV because Rome wouldn't stop calling him, Chris?"
Officer Oscar
The "was that really him" moment I had in the show was Roscoe Orman (Gordon from Sesame Street) as Officer Oscar (coincidence?), the guy who helps out Freamon and McNulty.

The character he played is named, "Oscar Requer," who was a real murder police in David Simon's book, "Homicide, A Year on the Killing Streets."
The real Detective Requer was in Jay Landsman's squad.
Note that Ed Burns is mentioned briefly in this book.
Just to make this Billy Crystal stunt even more meaningful, bring back Sal (The Barbar) Maglie from beyond the grave in order to give Billy the "Chin Music"he so richly deserves.

China boycotted the 1980 Olympic Summer Games in Moscow after the Soviet Union invaded Afganistan.

Do you remember that the Washington Wizards were once the Baltimore Bullets?
This sounds a lot more interesting.
Perhaps the networks could bid for the world telecast rights.
W. C. Fields: Beanbag? Ah, very good; it becomes very exciting at times. I saw the championship played in Paris. Many people were killed.

For those pesky home run calls why not use six umpires in all games like they do in the postseason?
--"Huh? No way, No WAY! Then we'ed hafta hire extra umpires!"--Ann Owner
If someone wore the number Pi how many digits would be displayed?
King, I still think that when you're off, Buster and Daisy (Buster Jr.) could fill in for you.
I think Buster and his sister, Daisy (Buster, Jr.) should get my vote.
Do I *HAVE* a vote?
How does it handle on ice and snow?
On the front page of yesterday's NY Times (7.6.2008) there is an article about Ed Burns.
The article about Ed Burns is on the front page of Sunday's NY Times "Arts and Leisure" section!
Just rid the Earth of Jim Rome.
King...
You don't actually care about the Oympics and horrible coverage by US television networks, do you?
Why do they show more,"up close and personal" features than actual sporting events?
Why do they only, with a few excetions, events featuring featuring spoiled, classless, American medal winners?
Why don't they ever show the TEAM HANDBALL finals?
I certainly will not watch 1 minute of NBCs Olympic coverage.
Finally, what about adverts for the Olympia Beer Co?
King:
Another vacation?
You're taking nearly as many vacations as the Vacationer-in-Chief, GeeDubya
They better not fire my DADDY cause my DADDY helps me with all my right FOOTBALL PIX!--Mr. Buster
Them better not fire my DADDY 'cause my Daddy give me coin to flip and he helps me flip the coin too and once when I ate the coin he said, Daisy don't eat the coin, it's dirty, and so then I said Daddy I didn't really eat the coin but my BIG BROTHER, Mr. Buster, pretended that he did eat the coin, but he really didn't!!!--Ms Daisy (ALA buster Jr.)

You seem to take more vacations than The Vacationer in Chief, GeeDubya Bush, who is about to go on a very Loooooooooooooooooooog Vacation.
--"Sometimes My Daddy is just real, real LAZY and he doesn't want to work.......So, My Mommy says to him, "Hey King, You're the Family Bread Winner...Get to work and write something...You take a lot of Vacations.....More than President BUTCH, who is the Vacationer in Chief!"--Mr. Buster Kaufman......

Perhaps Ms Palin could pose for Playboy...
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
Fox News' morning show plays to type, talking about whether Muslims in the Army should face "special debriefings"
