Nice but does it run on bio-fuels? What’s its carbon foot print? Will Obambi allow us to own/drive one? I suspect only the many in the private jets at the Ingrate-ual will be allowed.

If you tried to put bio-fuel in that car, you’d be struck by lightning!

Kudos, I respect your choice. I’d like mine with Jason Isaacs at the wheel. :) Alan Rickman would also be good.

What, exactly, has been accomplished, except the election of the President farthest to the Left of all time?

Does this woman still have anything to do with National Review? If so, I’m not renewing it.

Yet another throne-sniffing Obama sycophant. It isn’t really like laying your pen down and joining the moment, Kathleen. It’s like losing your virginity. It isn’t coming back.

I had to google the names, which were familiar but didn’t immediately correlate with faces. Woof! Isaacs is hot in his HP role, but Rickman is much better in real life ;-).

The job requires that we stand slightly apart, seeing but not believing; hearing without being seduced.,

In that case, the media FAILED miserably in this last election. They didn't seem the least bit curious about Obama's past for over 18 months, while they landed in Alaska in less than 48 hours, trying to dig up any dirt on her. Whey they couldn't do that, they simply made stuff up out of whole cloth.

Isaacs is easy on the eyes, but Rickman's voice just MELTS me! I tried reading "The Return of the Native" several years ago, and just couldn't get past the endless descriptions of the moors. I checked out the book on audiotape, read by Alan Rickman. Oh my! Needless to say, I enjoyed the book, immensely! ;o)

Done deal! I will look for the audio-book, and yes, to hear Alan Rickman’s rich voice with exquisite accentuations.

In pictures, I mean. I haven’t seen him in person. And I agree about his voice - not Ricardo Montalban, but certainly (ahem) inspiring.

There’s also a tv-movie of “Return of the Native” with Catherine Zeta-Jones and ... some guy. I think A&E produced it. It’s in the “Acorn” video catalog.

I actually read the book in high school.

I think I saw that TV version of the novel!

It was very scenic, and made the main characters more likeable than in the novel, I thought.
