I may want to watch this when it eventually gets to Netflix.
The biggest drawback for me is that when compared to cities like Chicago and New York, the history of organized crime in Los Angeles is, well, bland and borderline boring. Mickey Cohen? Snooze. The guy's criminal career was over by the 1960s, and as…

Friday - went to a screening of "The Shining" and the documentary "Room 237." The interview subjects in the latter prove yet again there are people with way too much time on their hands.
Saturday - went to a screening of "2001: A Space Odyssey."
Sunday - finally finished "NOS4A2" by Joe Hill.
Picked up a copy from the…

Five

I know there is a sixth season of "Rockford" but frankly by the end of the fifth I was losing interest.

I will still never understand why there are a lot of weak 70s and 80s shows available in full seasons on DVD but the great, magnificent "Hill Street Blues" was limited to just two seasons. One of my all-time favorite shows.
Have already worked my way through all of "Cheers" and "Deadwood."
Watched the five seasons of…

Still working my way through "NOS4A2" by Joe Hill.
Working my way through "Four Days in November," a collection of the New York Times coverage of the Kennedy assassination.
Saw a production of "Cyrano de Bergerac."

As a big fan of chiming, jangly guitar solos my vote goes to:
"Turn, Turn, Turn" by The Byrds
and George Harrison's exquisite solo in "Words of Love."

I am currently reading "Four Days in November," a collection of the New York Times coverage on the assassination. In a story from Nov.23, 1963 reporter Tom Wicker quotes Dr. Robert Shaw, the surgeon who treated Connally, describing his wounds - hit in the shoulder, the bullet fractured a rib, exited, hit the right…

"False Witness" by Patricia Lambert is even better. She started out as a supporter of Garrison and then changed her mind after watching what he did to Clay Shaw. Shaw, who, by the way, had to go to federal court to get Garrison to leave him alone even after the acquittal in 1969.
I have read the Aynesworth book as well.

I'll go with Alvy Singer on this one and put the men's room attendant at the White House in with the conspirators…

Continuing to read "NOS4ATU" by Joe Hill
Started reading "Four Days in November," a collection of the New York Times reporting on the Kennedy assassination
Continued to work my way through season 5 of "Mad Men"
Started watching season 2 of "King of the Hill."

In high school for a western civ class, the teacher showed "Paths of Glory" and "Rollerball."
For a college journalism class it was "Absence of Malice."

I recently finished "The Dark Side of Camelot" by Seymour Hersh, a Pulitzer Prize winner. And while I do not buy into all his allegations - such as LBJ got on the 1960 ticket by blackmailing Kennedy - he does back up a lot of shenanigans by the CIA with documentation. Hersh's recounting of all the sex stuff does…

I'm going out on a limb here and say that you haven't even read the Warren Commission report, have you?

'First, reboots and remakes are kind off anus in itself becauswe total lack of imagination and creativity…"

Rockefeller could have gotten the GOP nomination in 1964 had Kennedy lived to run for re-election. He was a moderate Republican who might have taken away Kennedy votes.

Yes it is; I have a paperback copy lent to me by a friend.
That same author did her first book on an exploration by Teddy Roosevelt of a tributary of the Amazon, "The River of Doubt."

The third person whose character is never examined is that of Earl Warren. If you really believe that the Warren Commission did this massive cover up of Kennedy's death it shows a piss poor understanding of who Earl Warren was and his place in U.S. history. I've brought this up with conspiracy theorists and their only…
