In some quarters "globalist" is a catch word for "Jew", like the Communists used to call Jews "cosmopolitans" before purging them

86 of those 100.

Bogart was great

another was director Billy Wilder. He had a not often mentioned gem The Fortune Cookie with Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon. I loved Matthau. Wilder had some incredible films.

congratulations. Love those kids.

Crash did stink 30's: 1 (GWTW) 40's: 6 50's: 7 60's: 9 (never saw Tom Jones) 70's: 10 (all of them) 80's: 9 {never saw Rainman) 90's: 10 00's:10 10's: 7 (Shape of Water still to be seen) hard to pick a fave out of them, because my alltime favorite may be Dr Strangelove of the ones with the Oscar it ...

His outburst coincided with Jane Mayer's New Yorker article that everyone online seems to be raving about. Yeah, I am in the middle of that and hoo boy. I'll tell you what really sticks out to me: The fact that Grassley and Graham went after Steele in such a public and shitty way really should disp...

I've not seen 7 of the winners since 1950 counting Shape of Water which I haven't seen yet

i think the worst one I saw was Dances with Wolves. Absolute snub to Goodfellas (i think they were the same year)

Do even the most diehard Trump supporters believe this from President "heel spurs"

Yeah, it's fair to say the jury's out on that and any kind of real effect might not be known until the midterms at the soonest. Even then, it could take a decade or a generation to fully play out. Not to change the subject, but similarly it feels like last week was a definite turning/pivot point fo...

School shootings-American exceptionalism? no one else does it like us

Daughter had it and was out of school for a solid week and a half. The issue with this one is that apparently a lot of folks coming out of it were getting pneumonia. I read that the flu doesn't kill you, it weakens your immune system so you come down with something else that kills you. 40 years ago...

some wacko shot at the Republican Conressmen last summer. Did anything change?

Florida doesn't require a permit for purchase, registration of guns or a license to own.
Plus you vcan carry a rifle without a permit

but mental health guys ( Trump's message)

even if you get influenza despite getting vaccinated, i think it may mitigate the illness. I have no proof and my belief may be unfounded, but getting vaccinated is important, especially for elderly (me) or those at risk

Baby Driver was a cool movie. Very formulaic plot, but the use of music and some of the set pieces were great. Yeah it was formulaic but really solid characters that drove the movie. Hamm, Foxx, and Elgort just were really good characters (maybe not as much with Spacey). great entertainment. And Li...

There is a new podcast up called "Trump, Inc" It is a good look at all the corruption around that asshole in the White House. Plus how crappily he runs his business

Avram

I read that they had armed guards there and they had an active shooter drill a few weeks ago. So much for more guns there stoppingn the shootings. I'm sure the response by the WH Press Sec'y will be "Now is not the time to discuss gun policy, we need to mourn the victims and of course our thoug...

You'd think of all people, Israelis would be leery of embracing right-wing fascist governments but guess Bibi is naive enough to think Trump's racist buddies won't come for the Jews next time. It is a lot more complicated than that. Obama was very unpopular in Israel. He was perceived as being not ...

Israeli police recommend indictment of Netanyahu on corruption charges Fuck I hate this slime ball. And sadly as a Jew, he is in some ways the public face of my tribe. In terms of integrity, he is a circumsized Jacob Zuma. Wonder why he and Trump get on so well? He later released a long Facebook me...

God almighty San Carlos, that is terrible. Very sorry to hear that. And Avram's comment reminded me that when my wife had surgery 8 years ago or so, she was given a prescription for Oxycontin. I got it filled for her, it was like 40 pills. She took a couple of doses and then threw them out. She did...

Many years ago when I was in private practice (Internam Medicine) drug reps came around pushing Fentanyl patches for chronic back pain. I couldn't believe it. Who in their right mind would propose highly addictive and powerful narcotics for chronic pain for a non fatal illness. It made a lot of sens...

I remember part of a road trip driving through PA. It was gorgeous. Trees everywhere. Pretty sure it was this very long toll road. Now that I think about it, it was the closest to what driving the autobahn in some parts of Germany was like. We drive from Reading to Pittsburgh about once a month to ...

Just when you think there's a moment of sanity when the PA State Supreme Court says that the gerrymandered districts violate the state constitution, a benefactor of said gerrymandering determined that they have the super majority enough to impeach those judges. Not only did the PA Court rule it unc...

So I set a loose goal of trying to see one movie a week in a theater, have only gotten to two this year and I'm figuring out why. There's a lot of dreck out there.

I liked Dunkirk a lot. Saw it in the theater 2x, and have the same noise/sound complaint. I had the same issues at the beginning of La La Land, and almost walked out. I saw Dunkirk in the theater.

11 school shootings this year so far; almost one every other day.
Obviously we need to arm the teachers. Obviously the answer is more guns. We should just ask the NRA (when they aren't busy funnelling money for Russia into the campaign.

Is there any other country like this?

FiveThirtyEight podcast had a very good 6 part series on gerrymander over the past 2 months. It is worth listening to if you are interested. It dealt in depth with Wisconsin, NC, Arizona and California; 4 different types of districting

You should look at a map of PA-06 (my district) just as bad Prior to 2010 my county (Berks) was in the same district with Schuylkill county.

Okay why is Stephen Miller involved in anything? The guy is a total loose cannon, no wonder there’s such a mess. Can’t believe that guy is even in the White House to begin with, nevermind in charge of negotiating something so important. You could swap out the name, and replace it with almost every ...
