    Actor Robin Williams dies.

    He possessed an unusual combination of talents - a highly skilled dramatic actor probably best known as a comedian. Sad to see this premature end of life for a good and decent man who couldn't overcome his inner demons.

    Lonely Drivers Take Heed

    It might be interesting to ask what the Book of Mormon says about this when one of those kids come door to door spreading the word .:rolleyes: Mormon anti-masturbation message compares self-pleasuring to wounded warriors (VIDEO)

    Dan Brown to release new Robert Langdon book Inferno in May

    His books are MUCH better than the movies - especially The DaVinci Code.

    A tragic event ....

    What's even more disgraceful is that most of the initial media reports are false or inaccurate. They aren't concerned with facts - all they want is shock value and the "scoop" on their competitors, even if their info is contrived or based on unsubstantiated rumors.

    '27 dead' in Connecticut primary school shooting

    Maybe (but I doubt it) this unbelievable tragedy will trigger some thought towards more attention to mental illness that's easily detectable in many instances with children and young adults. The embarassing stigma still seems to be attached to the mentally ill, compared to something physical...

    Fla Man Shoots Girlfriend - Thought She Was A Hog

    You just can't make this stuff up: I guess the lesson to be learned here is that stupid people should never be allowed to hunt with ugly people.:D

    Not hardly - Islamic terrorism goes way back, and can be traced to the beliefs of the fundamentalists refusal evolve with the modern world - even if it means attacking other Muslims who believe in progress and modernity. Al Quaeda was formed by OBL as a result of the Soviet invasion of...

    To Our Veterans!

    WW1 and WW2 were both "just causes", especially considering the Germans were sinking American ships and conspiring with Mexico to declare war against the US in WW1; our entry into WW2 speaks for itself. Korea - agreed; Vietnam was a mess that JFK actually started with a misguided policy based...

    To Our Veterans!

    Nice to see some editing has been done on this post - I didn't think Vladivostok had ever been burned to the ground by invading American forces, during WW1 or any other time. Kudos for the corrections. But you're right, The Americans should have never been over there in the first place. The...

    Ice Road Trucking in Harlan, Ky.... how coal gets to market

    Brings back memories - used to travel that area extensively in the mid 1970s. The people and the geography leave a lasting impression. Used to have some really good B&W photos of the mining areas in the Hazard and Harlan areas, plus some from around Logan and Williamson, WV. In a political...

    More sad news rocks the music industry

    There are certain memories that connect times and places to specific music - and for those of us who were in college during the late '60s and early '70s, Levon Helm and The Band was a big part of that experience. The news of his passing makes me want to get out one of the old albums, put it on...

    You got that right - it should have been locked after the first post. Greg - come on now. To his credit, Turtle hasn't gotten into this soup, but his prior snide personal derision and occasional outright accusations have gone a long way towards creating the ill will to start with. But go back...

    Is it a smear campaign, or is it an uprising by a few on the forum who have had endurerd or seen enough of the snarky insinuations, personal insults, unfounded accusations and low-classed dimwitted comments. The vast majority on here don't participate this way - only a tiny percentage. Count 'em...

    Re: Blood Pressure Meds

    My doctor switched me from Nexium to Omeprazole - the generic for Prilosec. He said it was virtually the same thing and way cheaper. I noticed these guys have the OTC generic at 100 pills for $41 - pretty good deal. I also get the Crestor in the 10 mg size and split the pills, thus twice as many...

    Michael Jackson and Farrah died today

    I'm sure that from your position of moral and intellectual superiority you could parse every sentence - every syllable for that matter - ad infinitum, ad nauseum. After giving thanks to me the other night for not being long winded in a response you proceed to do exactly that, repeatedly. How...

    Michael Jackson and Farrah died today

    If they weren't paying attention to what was going on, then Jackson and his young guests were in effect "unchaperoned." Yeah, I had the same reaction. But I think we agree that Jackson was only 45 years old by the calendar. Otherwise, he seemed in many ways to have the approximate mentality...
