  1. A movie that didn't get much hype was "Spy Games". Really cool movie. Brad Pitt was in it, but Redford owned it. Highly recommended.
  2. Never heard of him. Don't care. If yer interested in context, Google Alan Berg. He was an ass. That got kilt for it. Much more interested in that Uke immigrant blonde hottie that got killed by a
  3. The Posse Comitatus Act is a federal law that restricts the use of the U.S. Army and Air Force from acting as law enforcement or to execute the law, unless expressly authorized by Congress or the Constitution. Originally passed in 1878, it has been expanded to include the Navy, Marine Corps, and Space Force, though it does not apply to the National Guard when it's operating under state control. The act, however, contains many exceptions and loopholes, such as for counter-drug operations or emergencies involving weapons of mass destruction, and its application is often a subject of debate, especially in situations involving immigration enforcement.
  4. Did we just get rid of that like the way Pudding Pops just disappeared? ...I miss pudding pops...

  6. If you sprinkle sugar (edit)on uncooked, sliced cucumbers they are spot on for tasting & feeling like watermelon.
  7. ...The Password is: White Pepper. Seriously.
  8. I wonder what his pos son is up to. Nick Bolea. Basically killed a veteran years ago.
  9. Loved this movie. Never gets old.
  10. Gotta admit, wasn't really a fan. Still, rip bat-biter.
  11. Great television.
  12. Oh sure You cant operate a gas powered lawn mower or trimmer in that granola prison, but Flame Throwers?
  13. Thankfully, my trusty bumble shoot has spared me the ignominy of using an Umbrella.
  14. 3:30 is great.
  15. I'm sure everybody can find ways to throw rocks at the church. But the one that leaves me unsettled is just the pump and Circumstance and pageantry and money and money and money thrown at the Pope's lifeless body. What a fine most unsettling is the timing of his death should have reminded the powers that be that Christ didn't have any of this Pomp and Circumstance and passion when he was crucified. You think somebody might have thought of that seeing as how was just Easter dontcha know. Also, if you ever get the chance to see the Pieta in a curated environment, even if you're not a believer, it is a gut punch emotionally.Its Mary, cradling her dead son's body.
  16. Cat on the keyboard.
  17. 1989, a crush of soccer fans at Hillsborough Stadium in Sheffield, England, caused 97 deaths and over 760 injuries. In 2013, two bombs made from pressure cookers exploded at the Boston Marathon finish line, killing two women and an 8-year-old boy and injuring more than 260. In 2019, fire swept across the top of the Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral during renovation work on the landmark structure; the blaze collapsed the cathedral’s spire and spread to one of its iconic rectangular towers. (The cathedral was restored and reopened to the public in December 2024.)
  18. Today in history: On April 15, 1912, the British luxury liner RMS Titanic sunk in the North Atlantic off Newfoundland just over two and a half hours after hitting an iceberg on its maiden voyage. Over 1,500 people died; 710 survived. Also on this date: In 1865, Abraham Lincoln died after being shot by John Wilkes Booth at Ford’s Theater the previous evening; Andrew Johnson was sworn in as the 17th president hours later. In 1947, Jackie Robinson, baseball’s first Black major league player of the modern era, made his official debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers on opening day at Ebbets Field. (The Dodgers defeated the Boston Braves, 5-3.) In 1955, Ray Kroc opened the first franchised McDonald’s restaurant in Des Plaines, Illinois. In 1974, members of the Symbionese Liberation Army held up a branch of the Hibernia Bank in San Francisco; a member of the group was SLA kidnap victim Patricia Hearst. (Hearst later said she’d been forced to participate in the robbery.)
  19. Really makes you wonder where Obama was on 9/11....
  20. Crazy that Cleopatra lived closer to bitcoin than to the ancient pyramids of Giza.
  21. Hudson River? Pretty sure they weren't the only semens in there.
  22. Did I miss something? Their parents still murdered? Why are they up for resentencing?
