Hi Jay, Everything okay with you? I've been hoping to see your input re: NTTD on the SirHenry's Originals thread...but nothing is up so far! I trust all is well & you're maybe just tired of talking about this flick for the time being! I understand you didn't like it as well as 4EverBonded & I did, and that's cool -- I/we just want to hear your take. Take care & stay well, be seeing you... Bryan

  • Maybe yes, maybe no. Just because Democratic politicians are eager to take impeachment off the table doesn't mean their constituents feel the same way. More to the point of potential reality though, I've been expecting Trump (overweight as he is, …
  • Oh, and re: the Khashoggi mess: Trump is up a creek no matter which way he looks. Turkey's got the whole thing on tape (did the Saudi's really think they could do this on Turkish soil & get away with it? Forget that "foreign embassy is a sove…
  • Emergy = Fake spelling!
  • Yes, but what are you trying to SAY, Thunderfinger? Here's what I'm saying: everybody that's eligible to vote in the USA: vote Blue. Once Trump and his enablers are gone we can go back to whatever passes for normal; we can search for the perfect…
  • I'll check it out & see what my schedule looks like...
  • Here I thought I was making a joke... Yes, that "obscure internet rule" does indeed exist. It's called "Godwin's Law" and here's a link to Godwin himself explaining why (in his opinion) it is perfectly acceptable to use it in times (and circumst…

  • I'm a little surprised not to hear any discussion of the assassination of Washington Post journalist Jamal Koshoggi on this thread. I'd think a bunch of James Bond fans would be all over this topic! Here's a nice link to get y'all started: https:…
  • Not only that: in 1937, FDR (who was having trouble getting parts of his ambitious New Deal past a recalcitrant Supreme Court) announced plans to increase the Court from 9 to as many as 15 justices, so as to make it easier for his plans to get past …
  • It's also the prerogative of a new administration (after 2020, assuming no impeachment and no Trumpian heart attack or stroke) to simply add more justices to the SC -- or subtract 1 from the current number-- and change the complexion of the court in…
  • My thought & prayers to everybody affected by the storm (no, really, no sarcasm intended) -- but it looks like the Kavanaugh story hasn't quite blown over yet. (Okay, there I AM making a very small joke.) https://www.rawstory.com/2018/10/chief…
  • Let's take a moment to realize that, no matter our position on the state of our world, each of us has our own sorrows to bear. The right wing is currently mourning the fact that Taylor Swift has abdicated her (unsought) position as Aryan Goddess in…
  • Hardly Strictly an HSB 18 Review Well, another Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival has come & gone, and @Birdleson & I did not manage to run into each other. Not surprising, really, given the HUGE number of people in attendance, the numbe…
  • Hope to see you at Hardly Strictly again today, @Birdleson. I was there yesterday as well (Lindsay Buckingham was great, but that can be said for the whole Chris Thile "Live From Here" program that he was a part of.) I'll definitely be bouncing ba…
  • I keep hoping that it's not too late to toss the traitors out... all it takes is a couple of Republicans to put country ahead of party for once...
  • I was a bit surprised to see so little coverage of Trump's financial chicanery and ties to Russian money back before the election. Better late than never I suppose -- but the US media is definitely coming to this story far later than they should ha…
  • Marty Balin. Wow. Just, wow. Perhaps the most gorgeous voice of the Psychedelic era. Sure, Grace Slick was the more "famous" singer in the Jefferson Airplane -- but Marty got the Airplane off the ground before Grace even joined the group with th…
  • Hey, we can do BOTH!
  • Once upon a time, I comforted myself with the thought that George W. Bush, thrust into the presidency by hanging chads and the doltish electoral college, couldn't really do TOO much damage in four years. Could he? Ah, what innocent, naive times we…
  • There's a Ray Harryhausen gem from the '50s, It Came From Beneath the Sea, about a giant octopus that attacks San Francisco. I saw it on TV as a kid in the mid-sixties --B&W, of course-- and it scared the wits out of me. (Some would say they n…
  • As ever, @Rev, some fascinating stuff. Thanks for posting it!

  • The question now is: how far is the investigation into this conspiracy going to go? We know that the Russians gave $$$ to the NRA...$$$ which ended up in the hands of many GOP office-holders. Those same Republicans are now doing everything they ca…
  • I've been calling customers in the Carolinas... and too many of them are saying, "Oh, I'm a fur piece from the coast, I'll be fine..." We live in hope, but sometimes we need to visit practicality...

  • Yes, the situation is more worrying by the day; no, I don't think the NYT op-ed strengthens 45's hand. It reinforces the narrative that Trump doesn't have any idea what he's doing and his own staff doesn't really like or respect him. Yes, the moti…
  • So now we have this: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/05/opinion/trump-white-house-anonymous-resistance.html An unelected cabal of White House insiders have taken it upon themselves to overrule the President's wishes and intentions, and are essent…
