Never cared much for the song but you gotta love the costume, and what's in it.

@westdogginc Listen dummy I have no intention of voting for Obama. You better clam down or you won't make it to the election.

The instrumental portion is great.

@martin1226 And God bless you Martin

It's on old ragtime tune which became the theme song for Joe Franklin's Memory Lane

@sammylava Nah, I was a soldier not a marine, but I couldn't stand JAG officers. A bunch of pencil pushers.

@cristiandan06 nonsense. We didn't even get paid back. You can hate us all you want but we beat the Nazis and the Japanese Empire and restored democracy in both those countries and we outlasted the Soviets and saved the world from Communist dictatorship/

Cromwell's was primarily a religious persecution although religion and politics and religion were inextricably mixed in those days, but the reason he could feel justified in doing what he did to the Irish was because they were Catholics. A side benefit of this was that Protestants got the best la...

Well. I am not alone. I have a family. My parents are gone. My first wife died but left an infant son. My grandchildren are babies now and we care for them. Schopenhauer's metaphor is false. "Intellectuals are intensely stupid". Wolves too care for their young. "This is the Law of the Jungle/ The...

I was 10 years old when this song came out. Haven't heard it since and never forgot it.

Thanks for sending the video. Reminds me of Buddy Holly

@joedimaggiosgirl I know what you mean. Try "Joe DiMaggio The Long Vigil" by Jerome Charyn, its kind of sad in parts but I think you might enjoy it.

@RedMersiProductions What's your excuse

@jontv Yes but this is not a Church mandate. It's a government mandate on the Church, and a silly one. To repeat oral hygiene is important we don't mandate toothpaste insurance, foot care is important we don't mandate socks insurance. This is a gpvernment boondoggle and an unconstitutional one to...

@IbnSheba No one can oppose a general revenue provision, Quakers can be taxed but they can't be drafted. Catholics must pay their general tax obligations but they cannot be forced to implement a program that violates their religious beliefs. That's Con Law I.

@terentii Phyllis had a lousy wardrobe in Superman. Watch her in "Panther Girl of the Kongo", She was gorgeous.

I was always a big fan of Phyllis Coates. She was very beautiful and a remarkably good actress. In this serial she was playing out of type. She was a little too petite to be a jungle girl, and the glory days of the movie serial were over: schlock special effects, guys in cheap gorilla suits, etc....

Hooray for Subaru for introducing me to this great song. I grew up with Irishmen in New York. An Irishmen never falls from grace with God unless he drinks the soup.

@organisten I am not British, I'm American, my parents were Italian. The reason why a hymn such as this makes one feel proud is that it recalls to mind the special things unique to one's nation that makes one proud of it. In this case it may be the determined resolve with which the British people...

I am surprised at your comments. Hitchens was not a great writer. He wrote one good book on George Orwell. Otherwise the principle characteristics of his writings were vulgarity, intellectual laziness, and formally or materially defective reasoning. He never has the energy to fairly or completely...

@jemjean You're right of course. Religion should not enter into politics. I started this thing because I can't stand Bill Maher. He's a terrible comic who is trying to reinvent himself as an intellectual. But you seem like a nice guy. Most politicians are phonies and don't really believe in anything

@drum3433 Nothing could have prevented a Japanese victory in the Philippines. MacArthur should have scrambled the Air Force but it would have made no difference. The US high command not MacArthur decided that there could be no counter attack. Your suggestions are naive. For the balance of the war...

Maher is a failed comic. His new schtick is being a free thinker. He adopts a stupid literalist approach to Scripture which went out with Philo and St. Augustine. The Hebrew Scripture is based on the insight that God is one. It took a long time for the primitive herdsmen of Israel to perfect thei...

This only makes it worse for you die hard secessionists. It was obvious that Lincoln would have been open to negotiation. Thank God your knucklehead ancestors fired on Ft. Sumter. They would rather wreck the nation than compromise. If those dopes had won the Confederacy would have destroyed itsel...

I read James Fenimore Cooper's novel "The Pioneers" when I was 13. That was 50 years ago. I didn't like it, but I remember him quoting this song at the beginning of a chapter, that was that. For some reason I couldn't get the lyrics out of my head. It just occurred to me that I could probably fin...

@SedimentBorn Look I'm not even British. I'm an American. Maybe you don't like us either. I'm Catholic. You probably like us even less. You're angry. It's hard not to be these days, but it seems to me that Europe including Britain is creating it's own problems so is America. The first rule of hol...

I'm a Tommy Dorsey fan also, but I love you're slide show. Change the faces and it could have been my family. My parents, aunt and uncles just enjoying themselves in the 50's and 60's.

John Huston directed two of the greatest "film noir" classics. This and "The Maltese Falcon". Like so many other stars of the 40's Sterling Hayden was a WWII vet, actually a true war hero. James Whitmore and director Huston also served with distinction. Those were the days when America rich or po...

@GaolisVideoLog You're reply is snide but uninformative. What "academic point of view" are you talking about? How is it US propaganda? Be specific if you can.

@uiruu Well, you seem like a nice fellow, and this is his brother's site. So let's just say that I never saw him as heroic, and don't think much of his message as you define it. Still you enjoy the season.

It's true the video is wrong. St Claire's defeat or the Battle of the Wabash was between the American MIlitia and Regulars and the Native Americans Shawnee, Miami and Delaware under Little Turtle and Blue Jacket. It was the greatest American defeat or from the other point the greatest Native Amer...
