   Read Joan Didion’s (probably a left winger to y’all) essay on John Wayne. It is quite touching.

2. Patty, on February 5th, 2008 at 8:00 PM Said:

   Mahons: I actually like Joan Didion – her book "Slouching Towards Bethlehem" has one of the most interesting insightful essays on the Summer of Love in San Fransico I’ve read. She went to the Haight as a journalist and wrote her observations of what she saw there.

   Patty: Cool. I think the John Wayne essay was in that work of hers or The White Album.

   Dean Martin…..yummmmmmmmmm.

   Dean Martin…o.m.g. Dreamy, isn’t that what you guys say? Yup. Definitely dreamy.

6. Daphne, on February 5th, 2008 at 8:51 PM Said:

   Dreamy works Alison. Burning hunk of man love works too! Good God he was fine.

7. Patty, on February 5th, 2008 at 9:00 PM Said:

   I like the Duke’s laugh and Dean’s smile. I wish men like that were still walking around Hollywood.

   I have just used Pattys post to demonstrate how to use a sniping tool. I hope she doesn’t mind!

9. Patty, on February 5th, 2008 at 9:18 PM Said:

   I like your haunted house graphic, Typhoo! Do you work in computers? And what sniping program does "sniping" reference? (and of course I don’t mind)

    Michelle Malkin??? *shudders*

    I would like to puke in her face.

11. Typhoo, on February 5th, 2008 at 9:28 PM Said:

    No Patty,I don’t work in computers,lol I like fiddling and doing things with my hands, writing is not for me!. Sniping is a snipet of something, like that snipet of a web page that I did.

12. Daphne, on February 5th, 2008 at 9:33 PM Said:

    Is that before or after you beat seven shades of shade out of her Drunken?

    You appear to be quite violent for a peacenik.

13. Drunken Cyclist, on February 5th, 2008 at 9:53 PM Said:

    Daphne –

    seven shades of shade

    What??

    A few things. Firstly, I don’t beat women. Never have, never will.

    Seconly, I’m not a peacnik. I believe in the violent overthrow of the capitalist system.

14. Drunken Cyclist, on February 5th, 2008 at 9:55 PM Said:

    Thirdly, Malkin is a crazy extremist who drums up racial tensions and promotes a mob mentality of ‘us and them’ on the immigration issue.

    She is irresponsible and has an ugly, ugly mind.

15. Daphne, on February 5th, 2008 at 10:06 PM Said:

    Sorry Drunken – I had a hoard of small children run through when I was typing, revised should read…….

    "Is that before or after you beat seven shades of shit out of her, Drunken?"

    One of your past verbal assaults on Pete Moore, I believe.

    Glad you straightened me out on your violent anarchic tendencies, they fit well with your pronouncements.

    I happen to disagree with your opinion of Michelle, but I am glad to see how pissed off she makes you.

    I think I am going to annoy our American regulars here – I found the clip above quite corny and the sentiments expressed a bit too cliched to be anything other than scripted for image purposes.

17. Daphne, on February 5th, 2008 at 10:25 PM Said:

    All the old Dean Martin Show clips are like that Colm, you aren’t annoying.

18. Colm, on February 5th, 2008 at 10:29 PM Said:

    Well it certainly would annoy my mum, she worships Dean Martin.

19. bernard, on February 5th, 2008 at 10:52 PM Said:

    ‘fraid I have to agree with Colm.
    It was stultifying to the point of embarrassing.

20. mahons, on February 5th, 2008 at 10:59 PM Said:

    Leave it to that harpy Michele Malkin to find a bad Duke video.

    Put up The Searchers instead.

21. alison, on February 5th, 2008 at 11:15 PM Said:

    There were words? I was captivated by the hats.

    Yes Daphne but you fail to mention what prompted this "verbal assault." Pete directed a racist comment towards me, or did you forget that bit?

    Glad you straightened me out on your violent anarchic tendencies, they fit well with your pronouncements.

    You’re welcome… and yes they do.

    I am glad to see how pissed off she makes you.

    Yes I think any decent person would be at the very least pissed off by such a despicable woman.

23. bernard, on February 6th, 2008 at 12:07 AM Said:

    I’m off to bed before the ‘direct current’ short circuits himself…

24. Daphne, on February 6th, 2008 at 12:49 AM Said:

    Bernard, I ponder on some of your comments for days. They completely baffle me. Are you brilliant or just obscure?

25. Patty, on February 6th, 2008 at 1:47 AM Said:

    Colm, Bernard, Mahons: Your opinions are not annoying.

    Drunken Cyclist: Your opinion is annoying.

26. Patty, on February 6th, 2008 at 1:51 AM Said:

    Typhoo: Shouldn’t "sniping" be "snipping?" (2 p’s)

    It reads like something military otherwise.

27. Daphne, on February 6th, 2008 at 1:54 AM Said:

    ca ching Patty!

    Hey are you going to put up an open primary thread? I kept expecting to see you load one up so we could track the damage. If not, I’ll lay one on the public.
