Al Gore's move is a sign of the times we live in. Hope he got more than 30 pieces of silver.

Apparently, the Bush administration worked hard to discourage American cable and satellite TV providers from carrying Al-Jazeera. Al Gore was more than happy to sell out to a network which doesn't necessarily have our best interest in mind.

The National Geographic Channel series called "Diggers" will be airing an episode about uncovering artifacts from the Hatfield-McCoy feud on Jan 29th. For those who have asked, Bad Frank was my great-grandfather's nephew. Artifacts found date back to Hatfield, McCoy feud

OVM... I am guessing you have 5000+ posts in the Soapbox. Probably 1000 posts mentioning pickles or shorts. I suggest you, my pickle-obsessed friend, take on a second job and score yourself a little extra dill dough. Soapbox fans everywhere are outraged.

I am always surprised to see statements about avoiding the Soapbox forum. It is the 2nd most active forum at EO, I believe. Sort of like the bar scene in the Starwars movie. Lots of interesting characters. Take the good with the bad, let the negative roll on by. We often solve urgent global...

I would suggest that the brutal Russian winter weather did more harm to the advancing Nazi Army than any other factor. The German soldiers found themselves in subzero weather for months on end with their supply line thinly stretched over 1000 miles from home. The Russians had home-court...

Government has reserved unto itself to decide when, if and how much its pay raise shall be. Pretty sweet deal. They grant themselves all kinds of nice perks, too. Often, lifetime perks. Until recently, any Congressman or Senator could keep for themselves upon leaving the Congress any unused...

This thread was started to reflect on the acting career of Harry Dean Stanton. A fine actor in his own right. What annoys me is how often some members re-direct a thread to their pet issue; whether it be guns, guns or more guns. It isn't healthy to become obsessed with any single issue...

I don't care what Harry Dean Stanton's position on gun control happens to be. I don't care if the 25 year-old kid who showed up in the middle of the night to fix my van by the road has 37 tattoos. I don't care if the policeman who protects my neighborhood smokes, drinks and curses like a...

Born in the Appalachian foothills near Irvine, Kentucky came an unlikely actor, Harry Dean Stanton. A veteran of WW2, Stanton was aboard a US Navy ship at the Battle of Okinawa. After the war, Stanton attended the University of Kentucky and soon was bitten by the acting bug. Harry Dean...

I presume you're referring to the discussion we had about murdered school children at Sandy Hook Elementary. There weren't any armed females or males at Sandy Hook to defend the children. As a consequence, 26 lives were lost. An armed female staff would certainly have helped in that situation.
