Besides, Obama merely attends the church; he isn't its pastor or its
former pastor, nor is he out praising Jesus or thanking heaven on a
public, daily basis for his political successes.

"Moreover, it's wrong to ask believers to leave their religion at the
door before entering the public square. Abraham Lincoln, William
Jennings Bryan, Martin Luther King Jr. - indeed, the majority of great
reformers in American history - were not only motivated by faith, they
also used religious language to argue for their cause. To say men and
women should not inject their "personal morality" into policy debates
is a practical absurdity; our law is by definition a codification of
morality."

Barak Obama, USA Today, 7/10/2006


Let's debate this: Without the ten commandments, absolutely nobody would
know that murder is wrong.

Nobody. No exceptions. Period.

Cannell did some real good stuff.

Loved the A Team.

If they were going to reimage or remake a TV show into a movie, The A
Team would be one of my candidates.

As for kung fu movies - I like the cheap, cheesy Chinese ones made in
Taiwan or Hong Kong.

Damn movies are hysterically funny.

Sort of related - one of my favorite movies - tied for # one with
three others - "Big Trouble in Little China".

Favorite quote: "Okay, I get the picture White Tigers, Lords of Death,
guys in funny suits throwing plastic explosives while poison arrows
fall from the sky and the pillars of heaven shake, huh? Sure, okay, I
see Charlie Chan, Fu Manchu and a hundred howlin' monkey temples, and
that's just for starters, right? Fine! I'm ready, goddammit let me at
'em!"

Saw it once, but it was commercial TV, so it was "spotty."
I'll put it on the Netflix list, which BTW finally came through with
Army of Darkness, your recommendation a while back.
Excellent! Shall I say "off the wall?"

For martial arts, I prefer Bruce Lee, and any number of Japanese or
Chinese movies.


You're spending too much time with old people. Tony Jaa is now the

I've only seen a couple in the last few years. I prefer the "mystical"
martial arts movies...Crouching Tiger or one whose name escapes me at the
moment. I did like Fist of Legend (Jet Li) and of course Fist of Legend,
with the master, Bruce Lee.


Is that the one that's dubbed in English?

Huckabee isn't big-business, is a moral conservative, and is
moderately liberal on some issues. It's possible that some of the
liberal base could see him as a real alternative to the things they
don't like about the dems.


Some of us have a problem with the other Huckabee.

Why would "the liberal base" be interested in a simple-minded, uninformed
right-wing Christian rube as president?


Oh, Lorrdy, 2009 is going to be an interesting year in wrecked.boats.

We've already seen what happens when a president uses faith instead of
reason to formulate policy.

You are not aware of this defect, but other people are.

Here's what this country needs: A presidential candidate who responds to
questions about religion in the same way any of us should if an potential
employer asked about it:

"My spiritual beliefs are no concern of yours. Do you have any questions
related to the job you need done?"

I think you, the liberal side of the asile, are in fear of a candidate
with a strong faith in God.

Just curious, how do you determine who has a "strong faith in God"?


Good point. Seems to me that every candidate currently running on both
sides have pointed out their "strong faith".

So why is Huckelberry any different?
