In her New York Times Op-ed column today, Maureen Dowd parodies a letter from Alberto R. Gonzales, White House counsel, to the 9/11 Commission, detailing the conditions under which the president and vice-president agree to appear. After stating that all questions will be answered by the vice preside...

I recently bought the Concert for George DVD, but I haven't had the time to sit down and watch it all the way through yet, which is my preference for the first viewing. I did see the film in a theatre though, and I posted at the time that it was wonderful, and quite moving. Speaking of Petty, I also...

You have to start typing after all the brackets and leave them (the brackets:crash8_durham wrote:By the way this quote button does not work like in other forums. I don't get it.
) untouched. You can edit the text between them, but what's inside each of the bracket sets ("[]") has to be left alone.Poppet wrote:

Are fresh strawberries and banana slices on homemade vanilla ice cream better than fresh peaches with pound cake? Is a sonnet better than a haiku? Is Carl Hiaasen better than Douglas Adams?

MrA, your apology is accepted. There are no hard feelings. I would gladly trade in the apology, however, for a simple recanting of your accusation that I misquoted you. When I quote people, if editing is desirable to allow readers to focus on the heart of the matter, I like to think I do it fairly a...

Poppet, in my opinion you should listen to Blood on the Tracks and New Morning . You're almost bound to find something to like on one or the other, and once Bob gets a foothold, he'll reel ya in. If you don't have an objection to live albums, Before the Flood is a real good intro. It includes some i...

Your point is well taken, in that the projections were flawed. The theoretical surplus would have disappeared anyway. But then, such projections are always flawed. The economy simply refuses to stand still to have its temperature taken. Gore and Bush were using the same figures and operating with ve...

Which of your four or five points do you refer to here? I think they've all been addressed. You may not find them credible but many of us do. I think I've seen HS addresseing your points more directly than I've seen you do of his. . . . What strikes me as odd, Mr. A., is that you continue to use wo...

I was reacting to a composite slur that has become all too common, and all too often aimed at me. It's okay. I have grown accustomed to it. The thread should end. . . I agree, perhaps the thread has outlived its utility; not because you haven't elicited a good number of thoughtful comments replete ...

I am disenchanted with Mr. Bush. I think he has made a number of errors but in an effort to lead. He is at times a bumbling fool, and at times a great leader. I know that the utterance of the second half of that last sentence infuriates many. It is, however, a reasonable line of thinking. It is an ...

It is certainly anyone and everyones prerogative to abstain from commenting. I abstain from commenting on many of the subjects that begin threads because I am either ill-informed or I don't have a strong opinion. But to cast dispersions as a way to discredit the original post without addressing a s...

Re: "They are the Most Crooked, Lying Bunch..."
. . . And the job market is returning, and economic indices are beginning to rise. There is an old saying, it takes money to make money. George cannot be cited for thriftyness, but if the investment pays off with a strong economy and a record-low jobless index in the next year, then maybe, just may...

...after listening to some Bob Dylan as a teenager I finally picked up Blood on the Tracks (Blonde on Blonde was like 30 bucks, not quite yet Bob). I definitely enjoy it, and will be looking at picking up other copoies of his stuff. Blood on the Tracks is a fine place to begin your appreciation of ...

It's not about control. Rope is an entertaining poster, and of course he has the right to say what he likes. The point is that some rhetorical tactics are counterproductive, and I thought he needed to know it. He pissed me off, and I told him about it. End of story. Advice is not the same thing as c...

Dwight Twilley XXI - a kind of greatest hits, although most of these songs were never hits or close to it. Twilley's album releases have been sporadic at best, but he kept recording great material even when he was between contracts. and he kept control of his back catalogue. This album is a fine sam...
