You might want to hire an English tutor to work on your punctuation.

But it does point to a deficiency in your sense of humor.

Thanks, I'll be sure to work on that.

[Rebelbase]

typing on the fly is for fun not payment. I'll leave the grammer and spell check to the anal types.

Good man. We all eagerly await the new you.

Bwahahahaha!

I remember about 20 years ago, Frank Sinatra sued the owner of a small diner called "Sinatra's," even though the owner's name was also Sinatra. I don't remember how it came out, but I was rooting for the diner owner.

I think they should've spelled that with a "P" instead of an "H".

[Cincinatus]

Is his salad dressing any good?

I don't use salad dressing, but friends who have tried it tell me that it's delicious.

If using the generic term "fair and balanced" is deemed a copyright infringement by any court in this land, I will stop eating meat. This is a really stupid suit by Fox. Fox takes itself too seriously, and it should be slapped down, and will be.

Try marketing a product using the phrase, "We bring good things to light," or "Just do it," and then count the days on one hand before you are hauled into court for copyright or trade infringement. Although Fox may lose, the lawsuit is far from frivilous.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the heads up!

Hey Bill,

I thought the piece was pretty funny, too.

But Newman's reference to the washed-up (and really ugly) Franken as a "satirist" indicates Newman probably had "help" with his composition. And lines like:

"....the rotten, self-important, free-trade, corrupt conservative image...."

....betray the true Paul Newman for what he has been for decades - - a naive Marxist whose biggest regret is that he wasn't martyred by HUAC and the Hollywood blacklisters.

Other than that, it was funny.

Regards,
LH

Kinda like 'Windows'

Surprised we can still have 'windows' in our houses & not have to pay royalties to BillG

I was tempted to go after Cool Hand Puke, but upon further reflection, I just don't have the heart for it.

It's like encountering some old guy on the street, whipping his cane at you and swearing incoherently, so you just circumnavigate around him and go on your merry way.

[BossLady]

Gees....he's starting to sound like his character from Cat on A Hot Tin Roof......mendacity.......

It's hard for me to go after him too since my father looks so much like him.....but that is where the similarities end....

His Italian Dressing is pretty good....:)

I stopped buying those wonderful salads at McD's when I learned it was newman's dressing. I won't contribute a penny to newman, his eco-wife, or whatever causes are willing to align with them.
