They cost more per pound than Kobe beef. And it looks like they're going to RUN OUT of detainees before my name comes up on the waiting list.
Just my luck...

They killed Dr. Atkins! You bastards!

In conversation on stage with Michael Billington, the Guardian's theatre critic, Pinter said the US government was the most dangerous power that had ever existed.Half Pint actually has a point here, besides the one on his head. The US has been deadly to the totalitarian ilk of Hitler and the Communists, and now we're taking on the Left's other dear friends, the Islamofascists.

liberals are stupid and uneducated. The Nazis were regressive socialist darwinians not "right wing conservatives".

Pinter's plays are pretentious shit.And his son is a soap opera actor. Harold must be driven to drink over that.

They have slipped into hyperbole...This is not hyperbole for Pinter. It is an everyday chat at the level of rhetoric he is accustomed to. He's been been spewing this kind of vitriol for decades.
The good news is that anyone pays attention to him, except maybe the theater crowd. And one shouldn't expect a brigade from Broadway and Picadilly Circus to rise up against the 3rd Infantry any time soon.

"After a big operation for cancer, Pinter ... " Big operation? (Odd usage note of the day.)

It's no wonder Pinter's first wife drank herself to death.

Pinter is the most overrated of modern playwrites...his one claim to fame was the use of the "pregnant pause". Had the misfortune to work on one of his plays in college - guaranteed to put you to sleep within 10 minutes.

The world has not turned out as Mr. Pinter has fondly hoped. Thank God.
To: GodBlessRonaldReagan
his one claim to fame was the use of the "pregnant pause". You mean, the device whereby the audience is fooled into thinking the actor onstage has forgotten his lines?

LOL! Good way to put it!
To: GodBlessRonaldReagan
So much for the suspension of disbelief. What a claim to fame...
(there were a lot of "pregnant pauses" on Dark Shadows, as you know ;D)

Yeah, but on Dark Shadows it was because they couldn't remember their lines, or couldn't see the teleprompter!

In conversation on stage with Michael Billington, the Guardian's theatre critic, Pinter said the US government was the most dangerous power that had ever existed.Yes, I hope we are the most dangerous power that ever existed, meaning dangerous in the same sense as used in the following passage from LOTR/The Two Towers/Chapter V (The White Rider); (conversation following the reunion of Gandfalf, Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli, in Fangorn forest).
Perhaps he (Fangorn/Treebeard) also thought you were Saruman, said Gimli. But you speak of him as if he was a friend. I thought Fangorn was dangerous.
Dangerous! cried Gandalf. And so am I, very dangerous: more dangerous than anything you will ever meet, unless you are brought alive before the seat of the Dark Lord. And Aragorn is dangerous, and Legolas is dangerous. You are beset with dangers, Gimli son of Gloin; for you are dangerous yourself, in your own fashion. - - - and Fangorn himself, he is perilous too; yet he is wise and kindly nonetheless.
