It wasn't considered a given that more than one nuclear holocaust anxiety film would be made in 1964? I need to see it again. I haven't seen it since high school, and I thought it was very well made but much too earnest and high-minded. But I've found it curious that Lumet has a much stronger visua...

Because you're not smart enough to hide your dishonest intentions effectively Maybe that's because I am not trying to hide my intentions. Maybe you think I'm dishonest because you want to believe that. And yet it's proven over and over again, as recently as that blatant misquoting of me last night....

Watch out for him. He's really sneaky

If I'm so sneaky, how come you think I'm dumb?

The other theory he had, which I'm not sure on the science is that above a certain altitude cell phones don't work and that these individuals could not have placed calls to their loved ones in that instance (again, don't know the science behind this one) Then it's a good thing these planes were fly...

I was attacking the blanket determination that President Bush is racist. I never said he was racist. I said he was intolerant (please see my original post below). And I never even said he was specifically, I "finger-pointed" his administration (of which, yes, he does set the tone). God, S...

Sonic, glad you're back, but my interpretation of a phrase like "down, down, down" is that it means the numbers continue to fall. This means you indeed were saying they were falling. Read this carefully, ass. The phrase was not "down, down, down". The phrase was "polls ARE ...

After his rants on Criddic, I would be sadddened if he had been THAT offended by it.

I, too, miss having Sonic Youth around. The conversations/debates/misunderstandings were all in good fun (that's true in general, by the way).

Well, then I obviously am doing something wrong.

I had him figured for a self-serving jerk when he hedged his bets by running for both V.P. and Senator six years ago. Does this mean you have more respect for Robert Dole, Presidential candidate in 1996, for retiring from the senate in order to run for the higher office? Absolutely. And I said so i...

Anyone who hadn't already caught on to Lieberman's "it's all about me" attitude should certainly have seen the light after that unbelievable "concession" speech -- which essentially amounted to "I'm disappointed the voters were so stupid". Clearly! More interested in h...

The Ghost Writer is my favorite Roth, but I haven't read anything he's written beyond the Zuckerman novels. (I tried reading them chronologically one summer.) A few authors were left off the list entirely. No Paul Bowles, Joan Didion, Denis Johnson, Norman Rush, and most shockingly no Iliad or Odys...

Jesus, forget the books. I don't think anyone can read this list before they die. I'm not even going to try counting how many of them I've read. But of the six novels I've read so far this year, three of them are not on the list. Clearly, I'm wasting my time. The Corrections (which I despised) make...
