Ferris Beuler was okay the first two or three times I saw it. Then it just got dull. I like the others (and are slowly subjecting the kids to them) but I've definitely got to go with The Princess Bride as my all time favorite (behind Episode V and VI of Star Wars ... ) of 1980's movies. Red Dawn - Man I liked that one. Even Patrick Swayze's cheesy acting fit right i
Silly question - Since when is the 101st Infantry(Airborne) Division (18th Airborne Corps) a member of the US Marine Corps? Last I checked, 101st Infantry (Airborne) was a unit in the US Army. Stationed at Ft. Campbell, KY last I checked ('though, they were due to deploy to the sandbox last fall). I wonder how many other facts are "overlooked" in your zealous, anti-US rants if something as basic as this is missed in your fact checking? <
Congress enacts the laws and we can change our policies in 2006 not 2008. Wow! A flash of brilliance. Now, here's a little fact that you keep avoiding, Gene. Taxes - are laws. Tax breaks - are laws. Emergency spending measures to rebuild the New Orleans levies by stacking 10's and 20's (non-consecutive
The really scary part in all of this mess - the NJ governator didn't have a choice about shutting state services down. Without a budget, there's no authorization to spend money (it's in the NJ Constitution). No state money - no state employees (park attendants, beach folks, or folks to make sure the casinos aren't ripping people off TOO badly (that's the state's job, remember?)). I thought everything was supposed to be perfect if the Dems co
If those aren't slightly misleading titles ... I'm not sure I know what is. :) According to the linked MSNBC article, Ken Lay of Enron infamy, died today at the age of 64. Lay, due to be sentenced at the end of October was the first of many corporate fat cats to get caught cheating the system. And dagnabbit - he did it again.<!-- Ju-Anchor-
Please at least say something, read the comments, and stop being so narrow-minded. Then he won't have a leg to stand on (like he ever had one) to come in, post on the forums and make a complete ass of himself. That's all this rant does. It shows how little self-control (and how much self-contempt)
Really?? Having lived there for 11 years (and been back on business multiple times) I've fallen in love with the country (just not enough to immigrate). I'd love to go back and take the family, but ... meh, it's just not in the cards right now. Wonderful place. Great food. Great people. Even the
Congradulations! And glad to see that the two of you are okay. Having a little girl around is such a difference after the boys. I bet you'll love it. My wife's enjoying having a little girl around the house (and the boys enjoy her, too.) In fact, since she was born the day before his 3rd birthday, our middle son still calls his sister the best birthday present he's ever had. And that's 5 years later. Now, if we can only keep that
My wife and I were sitting through a Gary Smalley seminar on Marriage Enrichment. One of the guys in the audience was listening to his wife grumble about how she wished her husband had read the marriage instruction book. He turned to her and responded, "Instructions? There were instructions?" Dr. Smalley's response (once he stopped laughing) was "Yes, there are instructions for marriage. They're sitting right there." (points to the wife).
Who is Rascal Flatts? Heathens, all of you! Let's see ... favorite genre - would be Country, pure a simple. I'm of the opinion that a little steel guitar and a fiddle will improve almost ANY music (except Rap, there's just no hope there). What do I listen to? Let's see... I've currently got Randy Travis, Alabama, Travis Tritt and Rascal Flatts queued up. I'm like Baker, though. I queue up the playlist and forget what's on it.
Simon, now that you mention that you've been working on academic language, it pinpoints the difference I've noticed in your last couple articles. I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but that's it right there. I do read most of your writings and enjoy them, even if I don't necessarily agree with you. As for my worst jobs, that's a little more difficult. It's hard to come up with really horrible jobs when you're still working for the same c
Hehe. After reading the comments for Lucas' "Poor me, I'm leaving ... again" article, I saw this one and my first thought was "Oh, crap, what's going on with Mason?" Sad what your brain will do after a long day early in the morning. Have a safe drive back.
You aren't the constituents she's concerned about. You request has to be coupled with the requests of everyone else in your state--that's the point of a representative dem
I think you're doing the right thing, Charissa. Allowing the grandparents to see their grandchild, while still protecting your son. Keep it up! I just had a thought that you might want to consider. Too often when a child and his mother are abandoned by the father, the man's parents don't want ANYTHING to do with the child. It's like they're ashamed or just completely uncaring. I would take heart from the fact that they want to be involved
see how her brothers swoon over her. That's always fun. Our little girl turned 5 a couple months back. Her brothers (11, 8, and 6) still make over her like she's gonna runaway or disappear if they're not nice to her. Of course, she takes full advantange of that ... she's the ringleader of most of
Here's a clue for everyone out there who's concerned about fast food, high caffiene drinks, and other personal habits that are likely to kill you: Life's a trap!!!! No one makes it out alive!!! We now return to your regularly scheduled bad puns, wacky jokes, and other inanities. Thank you.
Ouch. And the sad part of all of this? I've seen this exact principle in action before. The city of Petersburg did just this to themselves starting over 25 years ago. The amusement park Kings Dominion wanted to settle outside Petersburg, but the city wouldn't do anything to "help" them and drove them off. The mall located in Colonial Heights wanted to build inside Petersburg. The City Council said "screw that" and watched the businesses d
So I take it from your short but pointless responses that you believe the press should praise the Government for actually doing what they say they’re going to do. I'll take a stab at a serious reponse ... What you don't remember (or are deliberately choosing to forget) is, actually, several t
You know something COL? You moan and groan that "The Man" isn't doing enough to balance the budget (OH! That's right, he's not raising taxes. Nevermind.), yet he proposes a cut in spending (the alternative to more taxes, ya know?) and you moan and groan. Get over yourself, COL. You're transparent attempts to hide your socialist ideas are getting more and more obvious.
Iconoclast-- So they earn respect before they earn it? No, quite the opposite, as a matter of fact. They have my respect until they lose it. It's called having a belief in the worth of other people, rather than believing that other people are selfish, greedy pigs that are only out for themselves.
Oh, dear lord. I made the mistake of reading it as a took a swig of Mountain Dew. Now, I get to explain to the IT folks here why there's sticky soda all over the monitor and keyboard of my dev box.
Ah, yes. The age old question of "Is Chivalry dead, or just on life support?" My mother raised me in the old fashioned Southern tradition. She taught me the manners of a gentleman. If (or rather, when) I didn't use them, she beat me about the head and shoulder's 'til I did. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/JU/smiles/Smile.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absm
Since DC is technically federal properaty, wouldn't this be a Federal crime? Another case of "Criminals are STUPID!!!"
They use the organization "Perverted Justice" - a group that poses as minors to entice/entrap people (usually of the male persuasion) into committed lewd acts and eventually arranging a meeting with them, in person. When it's just the PJ folks, they cops are waiting. With the Dateline folks, it's the actress posing as the 13 - 15 year old, the Dateline correspondent and THEN the cops are involved. Personally, I find the whole Mary Kay mess a
My kids have ALWAYS been disciplined. From the time they first started interacting with the world. Even that 6 week old infant reaching earrings or a necklace can understand approval/disapproval. I believe (and having lived with 4 of them ... I'm always getting reinforcement) that kids understand and DESIRE parental approval. At all stages of life. So, the infant may have more difficult translating the action -> disapproval corelation, they still
