I don't dare to ask what they say about Tolkien, but somebody should point out to them that Tolkien hated Hitler so much he referred to him as the "Little Tramp" in ridicule of his Chaplinesque mustache. Tolkien also expressed regret that there were, as far as he could tell, no Jews in his...

I was born in the mid-fifties, just after the last era in Western history in which people had any fashion sense at all. Every decade since has been more embarrassing than the previous one. I will always regret not having been born a Victorian. A time of unbearable discomfort, yes...but, oh! What sty...

Sometimes I'm glad I'm not an intellectual.

It should go without saying that the proper length for any movie is the length of time it remains interesting. I've seen movies I could have watched for five hours, and others that wore out their welcome in about five minutes. Jackson has proven that he can keep an audience interested for just about...

As we wait for the right answer, then, an easy one: "Oh bliss! Bliss and heaven! Oh, it was gorgeousness and gorgeousity made flesh. It was like a bird of rarest-spun heaven metal or like silvery wine flowing in a spaceship, gravity all nonsense now." Oh! And nobody has identified my previ...

"...I'm in pain! I'm in pain, and I'm wet!... and I'm still hysterical!"

Curse Of the Were-Rabbit, duffy. Everybody has this one memorized: "I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an emperor. That's not my business. I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible; Jew, Gentile, black man, white. We all want to help one another. Human be...

"All I see when I look at your paintings is just that you paint too fast."

"You look too fast!"

"You know what a turtle is? Same thing."

Wonderful to hear that you are both well. Having seen (and experienced) so much of this horrible hurricane business first-hand, I can imagine the misery you've been through. You're fortunate to have found a hotel room. We are ninety miles from New Orleans, and refugees from Katrina still occupy ever...

I see a lot of potential for this technology.

It's perfect for one of those weird toys people play with at their desks when they're supposed to be working.

Lidless and a hurricane?

I wonder who won?

Did anyone else see the photo of these kids in their smiley face t-shirts?

The smileys had Hitler haircuts and mustaches.

This just in: Satire is now obsolete. Reality has rendered it unnecessary.

I find it hard to believe that this bus incident actually occurred within my lifetime.

It seems like something from some ancient civilization.

And ought to.

If I have been one of these "ramrod asses," and I suspect as much, then I apologize to all. I have no quarrel with anybody here, including friends whom I may have given reason to think otherwise. I do dislike it when people won't occasionally (and voluntarily) yield their rights (actual or...

I read some of their lyrics (no way young girls are writing them) and they surprised me....they reference to pagan names: Valhalla, supposedly the mom has a screen name Odin's Shieldmaiden. Any of the White Supremicist stuff I've seen before proclaimed to be Christian. I'm wondering where they stan...

Yes, it's certainly what you'd call all-season wear.

A few years back, the Louisiana governor’s race somehow came down to a contest between Edwin Edwards, an unrepentant crook, and David Duke, a former neo-Nazi and Klansman. Ah, those were proud days! Both were detestable candidates, but of course the Klansman was the greater evil. So those ââ...

Liddy has my home phone, so he can check in with me if he can get his hands on a working cell phone somewhere.

Again Ber demonstrates the impressive range of her interests.

I was going to add “abstract expressionism,â€
