    The Era -- Day By Day

    Tunis Quick should have been convicted of Murder 1st degree, not involuntary manslaughter as this lesser charge is insufficient to motive and action pursuant this homicide. Passion is a tenuous defense outside marriage, while defendant's innate vindictiveness is more the motivating force; also...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I took a look at The Birds in college but for some reason this Hitchcock never registered despite my crush on Susie-Q; really likened Birds to a bowl of JELLO without any substance, rhyme, or reason.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Discovered Ms Burnett while in hospital as CNN was fixed cable news channel on my room television. My cardiologist came in to talk, but I left Erin on instead of switching the set off. My guy is Muslim, and I am Irish; so too is Erin, and I remarked she was too fair a colleen to vanish from...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Dovetail this with Ukranian application for frozen terrain most conducive to Russian T-72; T-80; T-90 tanks and field artillery 152s, 180s guns; with warmer weather such heavy armor and gunnery would have a difficult traverse. Factor in the China Olympics, et al and tactical necessity damascene...

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Leatherneck coined from the 18th Century leather collar worn by Marines serving aboard frigates to protect neck and clavicle area from sword cuts and decapitation in close quarter combat. (Any erotic connotation derived however erroneous is more properly ascribed to Foucault.);)

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    l like Erin Burnett at CNN. And I adore foxes Sandra Smith and Julie Banderas over on FOX News. :D

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    A sorry state of affairs indeed. Yet, Cable isn't all junk, any more than is radio. Pockets of rational analysis exist, though few and far between. Newspapers slack off, but again not all papers are rags. This spillage traverses journal, essay, internet. The latter a hodgepoge for charlatans and...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    With all due respect.... I listen to MSNBC as a house guest since resident liberals prefer this source, and I easily filter whatever wheat-if any, there is with the chaff; while cognizant of what is being deliberately ignored. And it isn't managerial monetary concerns. Profligate spending is...

    Today in History

    Still a lot of Germans in the Legion. French too; despite the rules, francais are simply tagged otherwise nationals-Canada gets the blame for most.... At the Legion post in Marseilles the adjutant office has a New York telephone book for aliases.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Much of what is currently bandied about is idle economic and legal speculation, amounting to gibberish which passes for erudition.... Awoke this morning to coffee and MSNBC (liberal residential choice;)), much ado about increased GDP, jobs, but the M2 is over 26kb and velocity I believe 1.3...

    I have considered this garment--er--matter further. I retract all earlier claims submitted and wholeheartedly concur. A lotta ommph here. The ayes have-er-eye-has it. ;)

    The Era -- Day By Day

    UN will get kicked to the curbside lickety spit split. In early '42 it was 'Uhmpire' Nations; heck the Solomons won't get invaded until August. We're talking bush league baseball right now. Minor league monikers. The Abwher Duquense Brooklyn Spy office shutdown apparently failed retrenchment...

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Where's World's Greatest Newspaper? It's quality not quantity. Subscriptions subject to inflation... But caught the Abbott homicide tragedy. Cannot understand a twenty-one year old young man involved in any way with an innocent fourteen year old girl.

    The Era -- Day By Day

    United Nations Supremo? United Nations is a '45 Frisco quicken. Wavell might boss British, colonial forces. Montbatten will later take Supreme Allied Commander, SE Asia post. Nazi Abwher secondary tosses boss under taxi? Absconds with briefcase and Fraulein Broehmler.... All this smacks...

    The Era -- Day By Day

    World's Greatest Newspaper, never ever used to wrap fish... or pork chops. After seeing that Dorothy L/ Field's ad, I remember the time Ginger Rogers appeared at Water Tower and I tried for her signature but surrounded she most certainly be by adoring women, I waited for an opening until one of...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I was in hospital, reading the Wall Street Journal which featured a Jaguar corporate story. A nurse popped in, remarked to walk around occasionally. Left bed, went to the window. Gun metal gray rainy overcast day. Across the street a Jaguar emerged out of the parking lot, smartly turned the...

    What is your biggest vice?

    Driving around near Westchester looking for the place I needed to be, I found myself at the zoo. For a moment I almost abandoned the conference to see the animals. Maybe get a plastic gorilla or lion too.;):)

    The Ernest Hemingway Thread

    I so enjoy a fine point to swipe my polish rag across latitudinal lines with a sextant of such literary renown, TKAM; until boilerplate glistens and sparkles. The gist of it is no law was broken; merely underlying ethics, due consider within proper context when an incapacitated author...

    What Are You Reading

    Preet Bharara, Doing Justice; A Prosecutor's Thoughts on Crime, Punishment, And The Rule of Law Former US Attorney, Southern District of New York, Bharara is hated by Dinesh D'Souza, Dee-not as smart as he should be---too much school too little street--tangled with election law and subjected to...

    The Ernest Hemingway Thread

    As I mentioned earlier, the estate exs skirted ethical considerations within legal allowance as to position, Harper Lee being ill and unable to object artistic trespass; so Watchman is legally published, however said objection remains. To best knowledge, Lee never had any desire or interest in...
