Why did I always think Murphy meant redhead?

Mine too. I feel so cheated on. :-(

“The Master” was unwatchable.

“Zero Dark Thirty” was a huge disappointment.

“Gangster Squad” sucked big time.

“Anna Karenina” was literally impossible to sit through.

In December 1941, Hitler believed he was on the verge of winning the war. German troops were at the gates of Moscow. He believed that the United States was not in a position to attack him any time soon. By declaring war on the US, he was trying to get Japan to declare war on the Soviet Union.

It seems strange that, although Japan and Germany were allies and both were sworn enemies of Russia, they never coordinated their attacks. Japan took advantage of the war in Europe as an opportunity to grab colonial territory but it never really did much to help Germany. (Bringing the United States into the war by bombing Pearl Harbor certainly did not help Germany.) There was never any coordinated strategy.

I believe this is the major reason they lost the war.

Pawn Stars: No pawnbroker works on as small a margin a those guys. No pawnbroker consults an expert IN FRONT OF THE CUSTOMER.

Hard Core Pawn, on the other hand, appears to be a more realistic portrayal.

Yes, Victor Hugo was a lefty. Most of the great works of fiction are written by lefties. That is because lefties live in a fantasy world. They are governed by emotions and feelings. We conservatives live in reality. We are governed by logic and thought. So we are not as good at writing fiction as the lefties are.

But that does not mean we cannot enjoy great leftist yarns like Les Mis.

I saw Les Miserables today. In a word, awesome. They sold so many tickets at my multiplex that they had open another theater and show it there simultaneously. Jackman and Hathaway deserve Oscars although Crowe was a little weak, in my opinion.

I have seen the play and several scenes, such as “Empty Chairs and Empty Tables,” come off much more powerfully on the screen than on stage.

Highly recommend.

Most of the geographic territory of the nation of Russia is ethnic Asian land that the Russians settled in the last two centuries.

Glass houses? Stones?

I sure hope you are correct. It embarrasses me that Jews vote so heavily Democratic.

bump for later

The movie was called “The Long Gray Line.” Tyrone Power played Marty Maher, the sergeant.

That was supposed to read the NJDC, not the DJDC.

As someone else said, they are not the same person. In fact, David Harris of the AJC has written in his blog making it clear that he is not the head of the DJDC. The David Harris of the AJC may be a liberal but he does not demonstrate any particular partisanship in his writings. I do not think he is being dishonest.

From your mouth to God's ear!

Doesn’t Obama have an aunt and uncle who are illegal immigrants and on public assistance? To me, that stinks.
