We apparently aren’t very close to accomplishing that “something” you’re
Talking about…
I’m not so sure simply “informing” Congress determines the end of the war.

By the way, Iran, according to U.S. intelligence, retains its missile capability,
particularly adjacent to the Strait. Are we just going to leave? Or will Trump give Xi enough blowjobs to persuade him to stop supporting Iran and that changes the calculus?

Of all possible things to “chastise”them
for, Islam is not near the top of the list…

Or you could chill and not care one way or the other who plays Helen of Troy or the comments about it…
Wonder Boys was a good watch…

Speaking of Michael Douglas look into The Star Chamber. A group of judges decide to take matters into their own hands when criminals are released on a technicality. It fits this topic…

Bought season tickets and had them through the Super Bowl. But they just became too expensive for me to justify eventually.
But I’ll always have the 2009 season. I’m mildly optimistic that the team will get back to respectability…

Cyclops and stone statues coming to life, etc

It's very interesting to me how you have British actors in a film about ancient Greece adopting American accents. It's also very interesting how Nolan opted for anachronistic words like "dad" in his screenplay to go along with the anachronistic armor.


I don't like that idea at all.

That said, "The Odyssey" has all of the elements for Nolan to make a very watchable movie I loved the film versions from my childhood.

The effects by Ray Harryhausen were rudimentary by today's standards, but his claymation and stop action were state of the art at the time. Cyclops and stone statues coming to life, etc. I thought those movies rocked, and I could buy a ticket for 25 cents.

Yeah. I know, but they had sound and were even in color...

Hey, a-hole, I once represented a victim of serious CSA beginning when she was 8 years old, and I was horrified by her experience and the effect it continues to have on her as an adult. I would never support leniency for pedophile rapists,...

Not sure about total wins, but if they stay relatively healthy and we hit on a couple of those draft choices, it wouldn't be beyond reason to contend for the playoffs...

So far, there’s nothing to prevent Iran from eventually having a nuclear weapon.
