How come some leaders in this country don’t seem to feel it is necessary for people from other countries to respect our heritage and culture.
Some social engineering experts have determined that a good way to get more fathers back into the homes of poorer families is to reduce the mandatory sentencing guidelines for crack cocaine users. Yup, that will be good for families.

Back to More Stuff:
Kids going to college this fall have never used phones with cords, have never known Russia as an enemy of the US, can’t understand the ruckus about Beavis and Butt-head ho they consider tame when compared to today’s offerings, think email is too slow and see no reason why anyone would be upset with bad spelling in testing. In other words there is a good chance that society will dip even lower than it is today. I would like to add that they seem to have no sense of the value of money. Which means they will probably keep on voting for 0-Man and Democrats. (Info from Beloit U. study.
Harry Reid’s polls must really look bad. The confusing leader of the senate went against the leader in the white house and came out against the mosque at the 911 site. Would you believe anything Harry said?
I’m getting tired of Rex Ryan. But media saturation has a way of creating extreme boredom. The real problem is that the overexposed celebs begin to think of themselves as something special and they themselves become trite.
BTW, there is a new football program on TV somewhere called Hard Knocks starring Rex Ryan and the dreaded J-E-T-S. I will never watch it not even out of curiosity cause I have just never loved the Jets starting with their over publicized QG Namath. And, guess who else doesn’t like this TV program. Tony Dungee. And he doesn’t like because of excessive dwelling on the “F”-word. He said (Much to the amazement of some so-called football experts) that he would never hire Ryan because of it. He says there are plenty of civilized coaches out there as good as or better than the latest media darling. Good for Tony.
I have always been dull. But now I think I’m becoming dull and rigid. This is not a good combination.
Latest Bumper stickers Department:
“Change it Back”. “Fight Socialism; Buy a Ford.” “Obama Adds A new Chapter to American History. Chapter 13.” “Political Dissent is not Racism.”
The Answer:
Some might say his best two were Taxi Driver and Raging Bull. The top five would certainly include Casino and Goodfellas. We can also select from Cape fear, Deer Hunter, The Godfather Part II, The Untouchables, New York, New York, heat and Bang the Drum Slowly. But my personal favorite was one he did with Meryl Streep – “Falling in Love.’ One of those lost in the publicity morass.
If you wnat to come to America and eventually become a legal US Citizen, this is the way we are. Love it or stay home.
