Good song, sung by a good singer.

In 1971 John Wayne gave Playboy magazine an interview. When asked about the status of the country, Wayne had this to say. First he quoted George Putnam, the Los Angeles new analyst, keep in mind that in '71, the country was still dealing with student protests, violent radical groups such as The Weathermen and the Black Panthers and more. Quote from George Putnam, repeated by John Wayne: "What kind of nation is it that fails to understand that freedom of speech and assembly are one thing, and anarchy and treason are quite another, that allows known Communists to serve as teachers to p

Quote from the movie The Alamo, starring John Wayne.

They were on Dr. Phil on Wed. They are now my favorite crazy people. Samy is fighting deportation from the US, he is already banned from Germany and France due to drug and extortion charges. Amy is an ex-stripper who has a felony conviction for "Misuse of a Social Security Number, a class D felony offense", she spent 14 months in jail and had to pay over $36,000.00 in restitution. After she got out of jail she married Samy and it was a match made in nut farm. (gee, I hope Samy and Amy don't try to take me down for this post)

While I am sure you did a great job playing Pettibone, I have to say that Billy Gilbert did a fantastic job, as always, in the film role. That is one of the things the old movies had that I do not believe the current movies have, great character actors. And I think that this hurts the current movies. Back in the day, the character actors had their own style and look and quite often made the movie. Today the supporting players all look alike, just as the leads all look alike. The Front Page was made into a movie at least 4 times that I am aware of. The ones I know of are: The Front Pa

Very Cool! Thanks for sharing!

The werewolf is affected by the full moon. The clouds and eclipses only affect the werewolf in that they make them a little sleepy. "Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night, may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright."

Now that is a politicians response.

Well don't drop bread crumbs to leave a trail, that bluebird will eat them.

I knew you were kidding, so was I. I seemed to have more energy and just felt more "normal". I have some other issues, which are being treated, for fatigue, but the Metformin seemed to help almost immediately. In fact, the change for me was so noticeable, that I called a few people I knew who took Metformin also. Some said they noticed an improvement in energy, some said they noticed no change.

Jeeze Louise, it's that new math people! You old farts just haven't learned it yet. From what I can tell, it is the same math that my ex used to split up our money, property and bills during my escape.....I mean my divorce. Here maybe this will help, Jerry Reed sang about this kind of math. Just substitute the AA, the BOC, their partner in crime...I mean the airport...and their friends for "She" and the citizens of Paulding for "I".

The funny part about the wife getting banned, is that she gets banned for right wing comments and she is a major left winger, like I said she blames me.

I skipped several posts, but I did see one about Metformin. My doc put me on Metformin and I noticed I felt better, BUT if I loose weight I may be able to come off it. (I did see the "pull a stradial" comment )

His Girl Friday is one of my favorite movies. It is not only a classic, it is a funny funny movie. It has often been said to have the fastest dialog in the movies. Watch for two funny lines. One where Cary Grant's character is describing Rosalind Russell's fiance by saying "He looks like that actor, what's his name? Oh yeah, Ralph Bellamy." Russell's fiance is played by Ralph Bellamy. The second is when Grant and Russell are accosted by the sheriff and the mayor. Grant says, "Listen, the last man that said that to me was Archie Leach just a week before he cut his throat." Archie Leach

I don't have a FB, but I do use the wife's account to keep up with the grandkis and to look at their pictures since they moved to Japan. Occasionally I post a few things using the wife's account, she has been banned from a few things, she blames me.

Unless there is a threat of a snowflake.

When we weren't sure if my 80 year old mother was going to be able to get her license renewed, do to not having a birth certificate, I told her not to worry. That we would just go downtown and buy her one off the street for $50, like the rest of the crooks do.

The docs tell me, lose weight and exercise.

I thought the title was "Dead people running for political office...", I thought to myself, "Finally, someone who won't screw us over."

I was just poking fun at myself. I agree with you.

I have found that to be very true, a fun guy to talk to.

Well thank goodness we didn't have much technology back in my day, otherwise I may not have been able to dress myself.

More Groucho lines: One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I don't know. Then, we tried to remove the tusks, ... but they were embedded in so firmly, we couldn't budge them. Of course, in Alabama the Tusk-a-loosa. But that's entirely ir-elephant to what I was talking about. Age is not a particularly interesting subject. Anyone can get old. All you have to do is live long enough. Woman: This leaves me speechless. Groucho: Well, see that you remain that way.

I have to wonder if all the "news" that is constantly being shoved at us nowadays, by the minute, is putting major stress on kids. (it would me, if I didn't actively avoid it) Also, this "wired" generation, with the texting, the instant messaging, the Scyping, the cell phones, the instant videos, the youtube, the e-mails and I am sure there are more things I do not know about, has to put a heck of a lot more pressure on kids than in my day. If you did something stupid in my day, it may never get past the people who saw it happen and if it did, the most that would happen is the kids in you

Good movie, good song.
