Now Dean’s an enthusiastic Christian.

Dean, 55, who practices Congregationalism but does not often attend church and whose wife and children are Jewish, explained the move as a desire to share his beliefs with audiences willing to listen. His comments came as a rival, Senator Joseph I. Lieberman of Connecticut, chastised other Democrats for forgetting ”that [...]

Perhaps reducing the sum on Nixon’s administration to being one of evil lies was counter-productive. Just as the Left’s current stance on Bush as an idiot-Hitler ( a moron who apparently has the ability to rally fascists like no other person in history since Hitler) only alienates people further. It’s a message [...]

The senator criticized McGovern’s “flawed” campaign that characterized Nixon as a liar…
and we’re supposed to accept what he has to say as credible?

This is from DEMOCRATIC senator Zell Miller.
As I live and breathe, and if — as Hank Williams used to say — the creek don’t rise, in 2004 this Democrat will do something I didn’t do in 2000. I will vote for George W. Bush for president. I have come to believe that George Bush [...]

We definitely felt the 6.1 earthquake that hit San Simeon. I was in my office, and the first sensation I felt was a dizziness or light- headedness. Until I looked up and realized that the hanging plants in our office on the 11th floor were swinging.
Then, I realized with some fear, that it was an [...]

That movie looks like a cross between Ocean’s Eleven and Ragtime. Bizarre.

Hey, is it true that Tom Hanks is a total jerk as it said in that interview?

Gentlemen, I refer you to the new trailer for the Coen Brothers’ “The Ladykillers”:
Yahoo! Movies: “The Ladykillers” trailer
I will say this: Hanks’ line delivered in the pancake house to the waitress is a vintage Coen Brothers moment.

O.K., I’ve watched about a half-hour now of The Hebrew Hammer. All previous enthusiasm has been replaced by a splitting headache and a newfound antisemitism.

Goldberg’s one character is pretty funny in every movie he makes. I’d love to see that movie.
I do think he would make a great Che Guevara, instead of that constantly posing, bad-acting Antonio Banderas or Benicio del Toro. I hope the Che movie has been grounded until they can find a better actor. [...]

I just watched a few minutes of this last night, until I decided it may be funny enough to watch with my wife and turned it off.
Pretty funny Shaft-parody opening credits, with Goldberg walking around in a baaad-aas jew hassidic get-up, and co-starring Andy Dick as Santa Claus’ evil son. Not highbrow comedy, but who [...]

Linked below: a wonderfully blunt interview with Adam Goldberg, who I know enjoys some cult-actor-fan-love from a few bloggers to this site. (I must say, I for one will rent the “jewsploitation” comedy “The Hebrew Hammer” simply because he is in it.)

Please read this article about Michael Jackson’s party and tell me if it is not creepy.
God, there’s not much difference between Saddam’s Iraq and Jackson’s Neverland. Murals to his greatness, masses chanting his praise, and a whole host of tortured children. This guys is so sick and I can’t believe that so many [...]

I hope everyone read that article that Scott posted. Michael Crichton’s points are excellent. In it he makes this comment:
..the unhappy truth of the environment is that we are dealing with incredibly complex, evolving systems, and we usually are not certain how best to proceed
I just finished reading a book called “the Ingenuity [...]

For anyone who is interested in our recent trip to China, we have posted lots of pics at our website www.chinatimesonline.com Just go to the photo album and choose “December Trip.”
For a description of what we saw and did, you can read my diary entries here.

Whoops! Sorry. Just trying to keep him humble. Go to the Weekly Standard and read his article. I did get the creamy thighs part right though.

… after such a LOVELY introduction, but Patrick actually linked to J.V. Last’s review of “Return of the King,” not my story. The link to my “Trilogy Tuesday” war journal can actually be found here:
Daily Standard: To the Crack of Doom!
And I promised myself for once that I wouldn’t self-promote a story. Sigh.
In other news, [...]

Hey guys! Remember when you told me that Mike wouldn’t amount to anything other than a stunt double for William Shatner? Well you guys were wrong!
Look! Mike has written an article for the Weekly Standard online. Check it out and give him a big pat on the back….or a fondle between [...]
