I guess I missed the birthday card, but... Happy Birthday, SR Donaldson! And may you have many more!

Same thing happened to me right after I bought Season 4 on DVD. We got a cliffhanger ending and... that's all, folks. Still, a good 4400-like show that I'm into these days is "Heroes". Check it out if you haven't. In fact, it was running while "The 4400" was still on, and I would...

They aren't all like that. As I recall, "The Eyes of the Dragon" has very little cussing. He wrote it for his kids (when they were teenagers, I think). "The Stand" has some language in it, but I believe it is by far the best single I've ever read. (Looking for something to read t...

Yeah! I mean, I'm a big Stephen King fan and it almost felt like I'd stopped reading Donaldson and meandered into one of King's stories instead!

I thought the F-bomb was a little uncharacteristic for TC. When I started this book and saw how he (and "Jeremiah") were treating Linden, I almost stopped reading after a certain point because this was NOT how things were supposed to be! I noticed also that just about everything he said to...

I will give Malik credit for the following quote regarding that chapter for the rest of my life. It is awesome. Sometimes if I just think of it I start laughing. "The only thing missing was Foul showing up with a giant sledgehammer!" :lol: LOL! Reading this thread about that chapter (whic...

Jan Hammer was "popular" in THIS country in the early to mid-nineties, and is best known for the Miami Vice theme song. Oh yeah DUH!! No wonder, in my mind I've always heard/spelled that name as "Yon Hammer". I didn't make the connection! Brian Eno has been aroun for ages, but m...

Nice work Chassit! I can understand the "upbeat but dark" comment. It has the ethereal vocals yet it also has some xylophone! Very catchy tune! Thanks. Thank you, Brinn! Nice to see you still here. :) It's sort o' funny cuz' when I did this, my better half says, "It's a happy little ...

I have NO idea who either one of those is! But then, I'm old.

Hi all. I wrote "Gunslinger" over 15 years ago and recorded it in '93. I just uploaded it to YouTube the other day and I'd like to share it with fellow fans! Please watch and enjoy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELRQUHHFwys I hope there is a DT movie some day. All the DT-related videos out there...

@LM, Av, et al: You guys bring up some valid points. I do think a second language is a great idea as well. I was trying to learn German for awhile, just so I'd have knowledge of another language besides English. Lately I've been thinking of learning Spanish instead, if for no other reason than the i...

This is very interesting. Forgive me but, I post an article about how illegal aliens came across the southern border with weapons, firing upon and forcing our border agents to retreat and no one even comments on it. Do we not care that this happened? Our border agents were fired upon by men attempt...

Regarding the growing bilinguality of America: One wonders how anti-Spanish language Americans would feel living in Europe, where a concentration of multiple languages is a way of life - a way of life that is embraced for the sake of multiculturalism and economic opportunity. It's a little differen...

Dems will make them all citizens and probably give them debit cards to welcome them here too!

[oops-- double posting, SHAME on me!!]

I went back a few months here and saw no Illegal Alien threads. No Illegal Alien threads ... in the Tank!? Of all places, an issue that involves all countries should have at least one thread here...or even one post. ;) Well, I'll start one with this post: Illegal aliens murder 12 Americans daily. w...

I dropped my son on the head when he was 6 months old. He's one of the brightest kids at his school. Maybe there's a connection. Think about it, Av.

And happy Old New Year, everyone.

In the primaries, however the GOP candidates have a storied history of having to reflect the values of the FAR right or be destroyed. As much as you like RG, it doesn't take a PhD in history to see that this is true. Its what got Bush in trouble in '92, Dole dmaged in '96, McCain killed in '00, jus...

The non-fundie branch of the GOP (which is the majority) understands that the way to win elections is by sticking with the core values; small government, low taxes, and personal responsibility. That way the majority of voters will find their platform appealing and they actually have the chance to p...

Don't you think that the non-moderate wing of the party will kill him in the primaries Chass? Look what they did to McCain in '00. What truly conservative voice do you hope runs for the GOP in '08? That's a good question. I actually... don't know. I am gonna' start looking around, though. I guess T...

Chass, what makes you call Guilianni a Moderate or not Conservative? He's Anti-abortion, pro-Death Penalty, anti-gun control, Staunch Catholic. What is Right or Conservative to you? That isn't what I've heard about him! From www.rudyforpresidentblog.com/ The Mayor's pro-abortion rights, gay rights ...
