Two silkworms had a race. They ended up in a tie.
There is all this Government assurance about the dire need for "Pat Downs" and X-rays at airport, but why are they so silent on E-Verify?
And by the way, profiling is till one of the more efficient means of sorting possible bad guys.
We have often seen on programs like the American Idol and America's Got Talent that the best talent does not always win. This is mainly due to the power of the most unified voting blocks i.e. -- Teen girls for cute guy singers. The Bristol Palin fiasco on "Dancin' " proves this in spades.
Did you hear about the guy who thought he qualified for the funeral parlor job because he came from a long line of deceased people?
Reading Between the Lines Movie Reviews:
--Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be a box office smash. Harry, Ron and Hermione set out on their own on a perilous mission to destroy the secret of Voldemort's immortality and destruction -- The Horcruxes. They must rely solely on each other as they race to their destiny before Voldemart's Death Eaters find them. And the n it is the ultimate battle between harry Voldemort. worth the lines.
--However my favorite this week is The next Three days, an exciting flick that lives up to the description "Thriller". The ordered life of college professor John Brennan (Russell Crowe) lurches into the path of an out of control freight train when loving wife Lara (Elizabeth Banks) is sent to prison for life after being convicted of a gruesome murder. She says she is innocent. After exhausting appeals, John enters a new and very unfamiliar world as he springs his suicidal wife from jail and finds the world against him. It never slows.
An executive shakeup at a corporation is called a Title wave.
Somebody once pointed out that Nancy Pelosi had great clothes. And I was immediately reminded of the Empty Suit syndrome. But we should worry about the ex leader with the pasted on facial expressions, becasue she has lots of unwavering support from a very powerful and well organized left with deep pockets. After death and taxes there two other things that are certain in life -- The Left and Islamic Jihadists never give up.
The Answer:
I'm going to give you two lists on this one as there are many opinions. But there is some common agreement as you will see.. List One: Commando, Gladiator, Friday the 13th, Ben Hur, Straw Dogs, Kill Bill 1&2, Once Upon a Time In the West, Virgin Spring, Godfather and the classic Death Wish. List Two: Straw Dogs, Man on Fire, Virgin Spring, Get Carter, Mad Max, Carrie, Death Wish, Old Boy, Kill Bill and Once Upon a Time in the West. Of course you knew that Alan Young's best friend was "Mr. Ed". Who of course is just a horse.
The Week-End:
Fear to achieve has deprived the world of great talents over the years. One way to overcome fears is to insert yourself into foreign arenas and listen. You'll be amazed at how what you hear will inspire you to break away from a self imposed shackle.
Or, you could just resort to punning. So remember, no matter how much you push the envelope, it will still be stationary.
The murder of the Ohio family really bothers me. I think I'll say a little prayer.
