Question: Who is the "Chair" In the House of Reps Right Now? I Don't Recognize Him!

CSPAN ^

Check out CSPAN, someone...there is an unfamiliar face in the chair. I thought JC Watts was the only Republican African-American in the House, but it appears there is an African-American running the House now, and it isn't JC! Thanks, politico-philes! :)

Now, that's a republican the media can like.

[BibChr]

Ah. A pro-abort. I should have seen the signs!

A pro-abort...........................Say what?

[BibChr]

"A Republican the media can like."

What the hell is that???

[BibChr]

Tsk! A non-Fellowship-of-the-Ring aficionado! I'm shocked, I tell you — shocked!

Well, I can identify him. It's my ex. I always wondered what happened to old Sweetness and Light...

[grellis]

Yeah, yeah, you and my husband. I won't see the movie until I finish the book. I can't finish the book until I start the blasted thing. I can't do that until I find where the kids put it. What does that make me? "Big 'L' for LOSER!"

[BibChr]

LOL, that is the saddest story I've heard all day!

Well, you know yourself best, but I'll give you this on-the-other-hander. My wife and I are longtime LOTR fans, having read the books probably easily a half-dozen times, if not more. And we thoroughly enjoy the movie (she's been 10X, I 11X).

But both of us wish we could have the experience of seeing the movie knowing nothing. Yes, even as it is, I was still in tears on my eleventh viewing, even though I knew (because I knew?) what was coming. But nothing can replace the thrill of discovery, of total surprise.

All that to say — you might reconsider! You only get one first time.

One man's $00.02,

If you ever see Fellowship of the Ring, you'll see your worries are over!

I'm sure you are talking about Henry Bonilla (R-TX). He is a latino.

21 TIMES?????!

I have seen two movies in the past two years--"Harry Potter" (awful) and "A Beautiful Mind" (not awful). I had free passes to both specific movies. My husband has seen one movie in that time--"LOTR." I cannot, for the life of me, remember when we last saw a movie together.

We really need to get a babysitter!!!

[BibChr]

LOL, yes, you should! (You should also know that I've never done this before, and we're not frequent moviegoers -- we usually rent. But even after eleven viewings, the tears still trickle. It is a wonder of a movie. I'd read a LOT of hype, and it transcended the hype!)

Whomever it is, he seems to be morphing into Al Gore!
