Oh No, my wall calendar ends on Dec. 31st! THAT"S GOING TO BE THE END!

On the other hand, I could just go out and buy a new one.

Lesson learned.

The way to get respect, is to be feared. That fear will drive the Hollywood and Academia hypocrites to betray their most cherished beliefs, freedom of expression and right to offend. They will grovel and squirm before you. Just act crazy.

There's a Spanish saying that goes: Against a madman, it takes a madman and a half.

Parts of Spain spent 800 years under Islam.

After making a career of playing Nelson Mandela, God and innumerable "Magic Negroes" it may be surprising to remember that freeman can play the nasty quite well.

In "Street Smart" with Christopher Reeve, he played a scary and violent pimp called Fast Black.

Gotta love that!

Tinpot communists like Chavez can't develop and they can't built things like this. However, they wait until someone else does it to steal it away. Unfortunately, they can't run them either.

Chavez has also been confiscating farms too, juslt Mugabe in Zimbawe. How did that turn out?

These people should never, ever claim the moral high ground against blacklisting and McCarthyism.

Unless you are superfamous, you can't speak out for conservative causes. You can be blacklisted. Now you can't speak out against a child rapist because you can be blacklisted?

Try being a camaraman and saying that because you evaded justice for your crimes that people should forget. See how far that takes you. What the Hollywood bigwigs have is the feeling of entitlement rights befitting an aristocracy and since that kid was not the child of anyone famous, Polanski had the right to use her as he wished.

Notice the very nice cursive. Those Kentucky schools were rigorous back in the 1950s, segregated or not.

You left out the "Alias" syndrome. A petite woman who beats up not just one, but quite a few 180 or 200 pound guys. She will not only use martial arts to get them unbalanced but actually go mano a mano. She will block a punch and push back with a sword against their full body weight.

The number of movies in which this happens are too many to mention. It's kind of like the male spy who can't miss a shot while his enemies can't hit the side of a barn.

SNL once had a skit in which Elen DeGeneros played a secret agent spy. When she confronted the bad guys, they laughed and gave her a beating.

Maybe the Nigerian government should go after E-mail scammers and violent gangs first, instead of movie producers. I think that would clean up their image.

I just wish that he would be swallowed by a black hole. No, really; that's the way he says he would like to die. He never misses a chance to tell people that.

All kidding aside, the man sometimes is too patronizing in the way he oversimplifies astronomical concepts. For some people that's great, but for others it's just grating.

You say the movie is 'balanced". Let's hope so. Nevertheless, the West is the only civilization in history that loves self-flagellation. Even Tacitus in his day complained about the depravity and laziness of the Romans and the heroic nobility of the brutish barbarians -- he should have asked Ovid about whether it was pleasant to live among the barbarians.

At least this movie shows that Egypt and all of the Middle East was Christian before the Muslims took it over, so the Crusades were just about regaining what had been taken by force. No?

Probably not. It doesn't matter. One hundred years after Hypatia, the Western Roman provinces were under barbarian control. Two hundred more years after that, the Arabs had taken over the Middle east and the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Fleet left the port of Alexandria never to return.

Ironically the Arabs tell a story about the conqueror of Alexandria asking his Caliph what to do with the books he found, The Caliph is said to have replied that if the books agreed with Mohammad's teaching , then they were superfluous and unnecessary and if they didn't they, were heretical. Either way, the library was not needed. Six hundred years later, the great library of Baghdad was utterly destroyed by the Mongols.
