Mercedes McCambridge was a car? Do tell...

It was a pre-World-War-II luxury roadster known for its infamous "casting rumbleseat."

Have any feelings about Chavez that you'd care to share?

I just don't see how even a young child wouldn't be able to understand when explained that these were all made back in the time when most people didn't know how dangerous smoking was.

Jonathan Tasini is running as an anti-war candidate in the New York Senate Democratic primary against Hillary Clinton. While he probably won't be able to pull a Lamont and win, he might be able to make a surprisingly strong showing and demonstrate to Hillary that just because she discovered the &qu...

Criddic, here's the wikipedia entry for "psychological projection."

I don't believe that the U.S. government directly brought down the towers. I do, however, believe that Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Rice deliberately ignored warnings, such as the "bin Laden determined to stirke" memo, in the hopes that something would happen that they could then exploit; a...

Meryl Streep wasn't nominated for The Hours. Maybe he meant for Silkwood ? I can't think of any others right off, although when I first saw it a few years ago, I was surprised that Judith Anderson's character in Rebecca seemed to be a pretty open lesbian. I think the film left it somewhat open as t...

Ironically, you're probably much better off, at least financially, due to George W. Bush.

Did the series portray Edith Wilson the way many historians have described her, as America's unofficial first female president?

Actually, even if Hollywood shuns Gibson, I don't think it will make any difference to his career. He can personally bankroll his own move, as he did The Passion Of The Christ ; and, even if theaters won't show it, he can sell DVD's over the Internet. He's not any more of a nutjob than Rush Limbaug...

So, tell me Irvin, how much did you pay for the round-trip airplane tickets and the front-row seats? By the way, don't try to sneak a pair of binoculars past the usher.

Sorry, I coudn't resist.

A Quinnipiac poll now has Joe Lieberman trailing his anti-Iraq-war opponent Ned Lamont by 51% to 47% for the Democratic primary. Perhaps this is the start of the Democratic Party at long last finally standing strong for something.

Another thing, why is nobody calling on these neocons who are at least insinuating, because Iran and Syria had supported Hezbollah in the past, that Iran and Syria were involved in the capture of the Israeli soldiers and that this is now also a war of Iran and Syria against Israel. It's this whole ...

If the anti-war movement is to call on the United States to withdraw all its tropps from the Middle East and stop fighting for oil, it will then have to come out in favor for some replacement for oil. The only possible immediate massive replacement for oil I have read about is coal, as coal can be ...

And now Dubya, Cheney, Condi, Rummy and all the other neocons are saying, or will soon say, that this means we can't ever leave Iraq and that we have to attack Iran and Syria as well. It is truly painful to watch their false shows of concern for Israel when it is quite obvious that inside they are ...
