Speaking as one who has worked at a TV station in his past (Channel 7 in Prescott AZ, to be exact... I filmed the weather in high school!), let me share my two cents... An X (or any other screen graphic, including pictures) can be generated by a person at a computer. It's the video switcher's job to put that graphic onto the screen or just put it up in a "preview" window. That way they can, well, preview the way the screen will look before a

Stirring up the complacency of the United Nations. Nice job, Ambassador Bolton. I have often pondered the relevance of the UN in this day and age. Back when it was started it was just an extension of American foreign policy.

Loved serving in the Army. Recently separated afer six years of intel work. While I never went to a war zone, I feel I did my part, serving God and country. Watched as my friends came home without hands or worse, in coffins. Through my role in my church, spent days and nights trying to be a lay minister to the families left at home, too. Man, I feel for you and Dharma who are going to suffer through some long nights and worrisom

If it is Bush and or Cheney, they should be impeached! COL Johnny One Note, how about being open-minded and saying that if it was some mid-level intel officer then that person should be let go? Why does it have to be Bush or Cheney for you to be satisfied? Because of your blind utter disgust f

Ouch. I saw the piece on FOX News this morning with the sound turned down, so thank you for filling in the details. I knew someone got fired, and they admitted it was a blatant act. But to openly admit it was a political statement... wow. That's ballsy. Chalk another one up for the 'unbiased' Mainstream Media! </

Reply to Vincent Gallo Sperm For Sale! in Movies & TV & Books JoeUser Forums

I think my favorite part is that he assumes his artistic talent will move on to his offspring. And that if the offspring is Jewish (reference Coen Brothers?), then it's a lock for an Academy Award. As if "The Brown Bunny" is worthy of anything but scorn in the first place. Just another self-absorbed, narcissistic moron who loves attention.

I stop at a local restaurant parking lot (Village Inn on 9th East & 4th South for Dev and ParaTed) For the record, I have eaten at that Village Inn a couple of times. Right at the base of the hill leading to the University and Foothill Blvd. Is the Training Table still there on 4th South too?

The Closest thing to a true democracy exists in the towns of Vermont. True democracy exists when all voters weigh in on all issues. Just not feasible, except on a very small scale. That's why it is called "representative democracy". And Ted, way to represent! Utah! Whoop whoop! :CONGRAT

I don't know more about any case than the actual jury. They are the ones who, through the responsibility of their position, have examined every nook and cranny of a case. At least what the lawyers/judiciary let them see... And even then, after a rare guilty verdict and an even rarer death sentence, the case is reviewed ad nauseam by appellate courts and even the supreme court of the state. They are the final judges to see a death se

Sorry to hear about your loss. Hopefully you'll be solid and strong for your family. We should all be so lucky to live to 87! Both my grandmothers are still alive but not for many more years. My dad's mother is 94 and my mom's mother is 84. Both are as hale and hearty as they can be for their ages. My mother's husband recently passed at 91. (Don't ask, long story.)
