Of course! And now I think of it, car shades are often of some sort of foily material... Science is proving itself yet again to be my Achilles heel.
My thoughts exactly. And tin foil is the weirdest material to choose, surely? It would get so hot.
He gave freedom from slavery to a far greater number of his citizens. Isn't that better?
Ho ho, now, wait... what? The Civil War was always going to happen - John Adams actually predicted it, almost to the year, way back in the 1700s. What's more, not only did the freed slaves not kill their masters, they actually endeavoured to gain education, rights and political traction immediately. Unfortunately this…
Time to modify that famous Orson Welles monologue, methinks. Step aside, cuckoo clock!
The Alan Ladd Method :D
True. We'd need Shaq and Kobe for Frank and Dean then, and America may not be ready. Still, the resemblence is too good to pass up - particularly when Wil Haywood wrote a biography that's just crying out for a movie. Don Cheadle was pretty good in The Rat Pack, but he didn't look anything like Sammy.
Hendrix, Shmendrix - when is Andre 3000 going to play Sammy Davis Jr?
Ah good, so this is back to being okay now? This is great news for my own self-publishable manuscript "Six Types of Black People (And A Few Types of Jews)". Watch this space!
Hearted. Sanctimony-Pony, where have you been all my life??
Agreed. There is a certain branch of self-righteous nitpickers to whom no film, book, song, TV show, fashion shoot, stand-up routine or ad campaign can do right for doing wrong. Add in the potential for accusations of racism, sexism or any kind of juicy offense-taking, and you can practically hear the "ping" sound in…
Also faaaaar cheaper than a wedding, which seemed to be the motivation of most PACS-coupled people I met while I was there. Or maybe I needed to move to a better area...
Leaving politics aside, they are a damned handsome tribe. I'll admit that the effect when they all stand alongside one another is a little disconcerting, but individually they are good genes personified. Hoping the new 'uns benefit from broad shoulders and jaws hewn from railroad steel.
I don't deny that American (and Western in general) culture is not perfect when it comes to respecting women, but let's be realistic. You can leave the house with a male who isn't related to you, show your hair to whoever you please and wear more or less whatever you fancy. Added to which, you can get an abortion, you…
I understand the dilemma, and I know what you mean. Everyone has the right to live quietly and conservatively - seriously, I am probably about as wild as the girls in this story - as long as it is their free choice. However, I find it side-eyeingly hard to believe that the women who "freely choose" to adopt…
Yeah, I can't get behind that. Of course anyone has a right to organise whatever they like, but does it make me happy to hear that a bunch of girls are holding their own prom because women who show their hair are considered tramps within their particular interpretation of religion? Nope. Religious mandates which…
Not to say that these girls shouldn't be practising their religion etc., but no one is asking them to drink and have sex at the prom. Any interpretation of a religion which demands strict separation of the sexes, to the point that they can't be in a room together, is IMO not deserving of feminist support. They are…
Hearted because I am obsessed with Teddy Roosevelt and this is the greatest thing I have ever heard. Look out, future baby-father...
