Again, I am brought to my knees with tears and humble prayers of thanks for men such as this.

The honour and sacrifice of Jared Monti is a reminder to me that I, and my family, must strive to deserve men such as this, or Divine Providence will one day stop providing them and our great experiment will perish from this earth.

Lolz, you make funny!

I make a corn whiskey and barley-peat malt whisky and both I admit everyone has been happy with. I lean towards Kentukey and Tennessee whiskeys over Scotch whisky, peated malt and sweet sugars can’t be beat.

Rye, I know nothing about, but have an open mind if enough peer pressure is applied... ;-) I’d like a good rye recipe.

Well, my Saviour has risen and I need to remember to forgive and forget. Especially your ad-hominem and straw man attacks, based on a profile page not uploaded since 2003. You're more like a bloody-wanker-meridian, a wanna-be tough guy, deluxe, troll de-jure.

You have to admit, that your post runs javascript from a dozen other websites. But, since bloody-wanker-meridian may not want to admit it, let's count them for him, shall we?

1 - youtube.com
2 - wikio.com
3 - google.com
4 - blogger.com
5 - blogcatalog.com
6 - twittercount.com
7 - twitter.com
8 - addthis.com
9 - networkedblogs.com
10 - feedjit.com
11 - widgetserver.com
12 - blogspot.com


Instead of pretending the site you posted does not link to them, why don't you tell us what these are for?

I understand that bloody-wanker-meridian wants to build ad-revenue streams and drive traffic to your site by posting here on Freep. That's cool, but a dozen javascripts on one site is a bit too much.

Be honest about your intentions here, bloody-wanker-meridian. Just post the youtube link direct and reduce your external javascripts.

Noscript shows a large number of scripts from other sites that have to be enabled before people can watch the youtube video you link to.

I'm not a stoner for asking you to post a direct link to the video. I don't need to increase your hit counters for ad-revenue or browser hijack scheme.

I'd don't need to wear tinfoil to be concerned about ConFliker.

Whatever, go somewhere else and waste people’s time with your spyware and hijack attempts. Or, post a direct link to the youtube video.

Gee, can this blog have any more script running?

Sorry, it’s just to hard to enable that many scripts when we have NoScript running.

If it’s youtube video, just post the direct link to that.

Wireless video (media) streaming sucks (like from a pc to a PS3), it will prove quite frustrating to you when you sit down to watch a movie. I have a PS3, PC (media center) and a popcorn hour that I copy movies to.

I suggest that you plug a popcornhour or PS3 (or a media center pc's) into a wireless router that acts as a bridge to another wireless router. That way you can transfer files to and from it via the wireless network. But when you play movies, on whatever device, that media, streaming or not, comes thru on a wire. I have a USR router in bridged mode next to my tv. I have another USR router next to my PC in my office. All devices plug into those by wire.

In terms of media center software, I can recommend Media Portal and Boxee. You can use the Microsoft solution, but eventually it will drive you crazy and you will get rid of it. At present, I use the Boxee (love boxee) alpha on Ubuntu Ultimate a popcornhour (love my PCH) and my PS3 (for bluray's from netflix - love it too) and am very happy. Hulu is nice for the kids who need their network crap tv shows.

Have fun, but realize that you are still an early adopter. As in my case, I'd love one device to do the work of all three, but that does not exist yet.
:-D

Isn't the movie just merchandising of the comic book?

There is also the Bluray disk "Watchmen: The Motion Comic" - quite excellent for those too lazy to read the comic. It's very good.

"The city screams like an abbatoir filled with retarded children"

I think he's mixed up our Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.

We love and revere our founding documents, the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. [Applause] We believe that the preamble to the Constitution contains an inarguable truth that we are all endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights, among them life. [Applause] Liberty, Freedom. [Applause] And the pursuit of happiness. [Aplause]

Otherwise, seems like a good speech!

The funny thing is the angry jealous comments by a “state worker”!

The moron state worker really has no clue that this guy now provides for the salaries of 3-4 state workers just like him.

Plus state worker’s class envy and hatred keeps him oblivious to the simple formula for making huge wads of cash:

1 - write a cool i-phone game
2 - give away a demo version
3 - sell a full version on the apple store for 2.99

Wash, rinse, and repeat.

I’m sorry, but there is a clear reason the state worker keeps being humiliated by life. It’s obvious to everyone but them.

I guess I shouldn’t bother paying off any credit cards. ;-)

People have taken the people out of communication... They find it easier to hide behind a device to talk to others. They cannot communicate face to face.

That said, I think the secret to a healthy, long lasting relationship is easy. Just appreciate the other person, frequently communicate your appreciation, and remain willfully ignorant of their flaws.

Of course, being humans, we cannot effectively communicate wisdom nor truth to each other. Only experience can teach us. If we base our most significant relationship on the simple minded pursuit of quick pleasure (hooking up) without any basis in the substansive nature of what we truly need from a mate, then disaster (aka hilarity) will ensue.

Let the chips fall where they may. Let the MTV generation learn the hard way. They will understand when they try to pass along their (hard earned) wisdom to their children/grandchildren and fail. This is the human condition.

I don’t consider Spanish a bad idea, but I would prefer my kids learn Korean, German and then Japanese. This is because of my work, and personal life, however.

Learning spanish may help them communicate better with their employers later on in life and build goodwill across culutures. :-D

Nothing is scarier than the idea of lawyers being churned out by the thousands every year in California, tuition free, and unleashed upon America.

Lawyers and the practice of law should be regulated.

No more dinners at Chili’s or Applebee’s. No more going to the movies.

You have a point. I haven't eaten at a chain in years. Most family owned restaurants are very affordable and serve the best food ever. I favor some nice Thai or Korean, although there is an Italian hole-in-the-wall I am drooling over now...

Plus, you can bit-torrent your movies these days.
;-)

Relax -- It was a joke.

I thank God that America still makes men such as this and pray that my sons may grow as strong and as clear of purpose.

Most excellent - I like it when the most experienced leadership of our enemies are dispatched without mercy.

SAVE the EARTH!

It's the only planet with Chocolate!

We cannot permit ourselves to grieve for Iraqi pain because then we would weep bitter and guilty tears every day.

We cannot allow grief to stop what needs to be done. There is also the paralysis of playing "what if" too long.

I like the F22. One F22 takes out five F14 aces. And it can frag ground targets too. Yummy.

Very punny typo, that's fer sure!

several others are escaping meat the moment.

Interesting choice of words... Are you a hunter?
;-)

Interesting BIAS; armed ex-cons try to break into the PA building and the news headline is "PA Troops Fire on Unemployed Arabs".

We need people to attend every town hall meeting that Murtha and Moran hold, and to speak truth to power as General Wagner did.

Check the voting records. The states with the highest percentages of Catholics are liberal states.

Highly misleading. The states with the highest populations are liberal states.

1) Spain, a Roman Catholic country, IN DEFIANCE of the Roman Catholic Church, votes to LEGALIZE GAY MARRIAGE. Tell me how that squares with being serious with their Roman Catholic faith.

Every Spanish voter is a Roman Catholic?

2) France, a majority Roman Catholic country has its churches almost totally empty on Sundays. never mind that the country voted to support politicians who are almost unanimously PRO-ABORTION.

France is now a dhinni state of Islam.

I asked you for documentation, you provided generalizations about European countries everyone knows is in a state of decay due to socialism.

Regarding abortion and gay marriage, I think the current Catholic Pope, Papa Ratzi, has been quite vocal in opposition to them, wouldn't you agree?

This means even more Canadians living and working in the USA as their society self-destructs.

This means even more Canadians living and working in the USA as their society self-destructs.

If you count the number of Roman Catholics who are serious about their faith ( not the ones who are merely baptized as infants but who abandon their faith as adults ), it would also be more accurate

Most of those who tell me they are Roman Catholics, like me, are serious about their faith.

The sterotyping of Roman Catholics as not serious Christians, who abandon their faith, is a cheap shot. Back it up with documentation, please.

Out here, when people shoot guns in the air, my neighbors shoot back.

Mintz has been reading too much Satanic Verses.

Wonder how he feels about the success in Iraq now that the third election has been held?

Never watch a commercial again

Blaming America for their economic problems?

Didn't they get the memo? It's Isreal's fault!

/sarcasm

The Dem strategy is simple:

Death by a thousand cuts.

Never mind that they kill America along with Bush.

she divulged her covert status to him during casual sex

Is this typical of Covert CIA Agents? How did we manage to win the Cold War?

Why was there no written report from Wilson upon his return from Niger, only an oral debriefing?

There was a written report published on the Op-Ed page of the New York Times.

Those people are idiots; black hold stupid.

And who is it that loves death and slaughter and suicide? Why that would be Allah.

"Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name."

If people are remiss in implementing God's law and in being zealous and vengeful for His sake, Allah sets his soldiers in action to take revenge.

Apparently, allah does not set his soldiers in action to provide releief efforts to those martyred by drowning in tsunamic or crushed by earthquake.

It's time for people to start asking Bin Laden and Al Queda, just what are their plans and contributions to disaster relief efforts around the world, besides taking credit for creating the disasters?

Go Easy, Officer Ranger

Using suicide bombers against other nations civillian targets is no different that using laser guided bombs against other nations civillian targets. Both are acts of war.

I have to wonder what the Iranians would do if Iraqi suicide bombers were to explode in the shopping centers and schools of Tehran.

I heard this clown's interview on NPR. He did not sound like a Captain in the US Army. He sounded like a college age kid speaking to other college aged kids. I found it hard to get past that to give him any credibility.

It dawned on me that I was present at the birth of a political jihad.

It should dawn on her that she was present at the death of a political jihad - her own.

Never underestimate the power of resentment, wounded pride, and lack of anything better to do.

It is quite simple, this show is against the law. It clearly violates the limits on soft money contributions and should be sued and stopped immediately. It is clearly a candidate advertisement, Davis is a more attractive version of Hillary Clinton, especially with the reddish hair. Disney and ABC should be sued for violations of campaign contribution law. Someone needs to make the case and make this show stop before all of America is brainwashed.
