If I could find a way to watch sports, with good quality, I’d jettison my DirecTv today. As it is I suspend it for six months then turn it on again usually in late August and shut it down again after the Super Bowl.

Check out his performane in Night and the City, with Richard Widmark. They did a remake w/R.DeNiro,,but the original is better.

“If the Yankees aren’t bought by another zillionare willing to keep the team payroll a lot higher than any other in MLB—the legacy ends.”

The legacy ended when they replaced Yankee Stadium w Steinbrenner Field.

I used to live in Elmwood Park. It changed its name from East Paterson over 40 years and last I remembered had a large Italian-American population.
Elmwood Park is one of the last places I’d expect such a mural. Unless it’s in an area that directly borders Paterson.

My grandparents were also from Calabria. My Dad grew up in in East Harlem. Grew up in norhern NJ, and we defintitely had a sense of who we were way before the Godfather. I grew up knowing all about, Jake LaMotta, Willie Pep, Rocky Marciano and a score of others.

Whenever my Dad would read about a mobster hit he’d say ‘Good, let em kill each other, as long as they don’t hurt anyone else.”

I’m very disappointed. Romney will get the nomination because he makes the Republican party safe for the likes of Peggy Noonan, Georgette Mosbacher, Lindsay Graham and the usual cast of RINOS.

In then end the point guard from a small town couldn’t match up against big time players.

It’s sad for the Palins because the media will hound her more than they’ve ever done before. She’s wounded and they will pounce on her for the kill.

As good as their studio albums, The Who were the best live rock band. Check out the Live At Leeds, and get the DVD of The Who at the Isle of Wight. Both came out when the band was at their apex.

I think so, and his brother Mario was a winger. Les Habitants were fun to watch. The Tremblays, Cournoyaer, Bouchard, Belevieu..La Fleur etc etc

It’s becoming evident that being at McDonald’s during certain hours and is a no-go zone for white.

The Hog-Farm....I believe the hippie-in-charge was Wavy Gravy.

God Bless you, Jim. You will be in my prayers.

I can’t wait till he’s gone. The church around here is a koombya love fest.

I listen to Santo when he replaces Bennett. He was against Rand Paul and actively supported Rand’s opponent, and him on the show twice in what amounted to an unopposed bashing of Paul.

He conceeded the DE primary weeks in advance saying we(consevatives)can’t always get what we want, but the important thing is Castle would have an R after him name.

IMO...Santorum looks more like a Joe Scarbourgh type than a tea-partier. He should stay where he is..wherever that might be.

If Schumer gets the nod then he’ll be eating McConnell’s lunch everday.

We need DeMint as leader, regardless who the dims appoint.

He was also in The Bedford Incident.
Capt (Widmark) to Reporter (Poiter): We won’t fire first but if they (Russian sub they are tracking) fire one, we’ll fire one.”

Weapons officer (MacArthur) Yes sir fire one...

Stengel didn’t help the Yankees either. He didn’t use Whitey Ford until game three. Ford should have been the game one starter and even if used in game two he would have been able to pitch an inning or so in Game 7.

I listen to Santorum when he’s subbing for Bennett. He came out in support of McCain early on in the primary, he’s still upset that Paul won in KY, and has conceded DE to Castle, while literally dismisisng O’Donnell.

I like Santorum; he seems like a nice guy, but he’s status-quo Republican and while not a RINO, he seldom bucks the party establishment.

The orgiginal SCARFACE with Paul Muni, Ann Dvorak and GRaft is great. Muni is simply fantastic.

I should be slapped on the wrist for placing Palin in the same sentence w/Huck and Romm..my bad. But, the race in AZ is in many ways a litmus test. It’s one thing to do a couple of appearances but another to continually campaign for him, unless of course as you’ve stated the ads may have been done a while back.

The bottom line is... she is not preventing anyone from voting for Hayworth, and the tea party movement, and the distaste for 0bama is much stronger than any politician. I look forward to McCain’s defeat.

Thanks for the illuminating but very disheartening news regarding Ms.Palin’s efforts to help re-elect McCain. I”m not about to put her in the same boat as Huckabee and Romney, but I’m close.

“Palin is doing everything she can to help McAmnesty to win.”

I’m not too sure about that. Since here two fairly perfunctory appearances for Juan, I don’t think she’s had anything else to say about the campaign. I may be wrong. But it appears she’s done her thank you’s and that’s been that.

With the exception of Lieberman every Jewish Senator chose to toe the progressive party line and ignore Israel. Now that it’s very scary for Israel they’re going to expect the very same ones they’ve been castigating i.e. Repubs, conservtives,evangelicals to pull their chestnuts out of the money.
People like Schumer, Boxer, Levin et. al are the same people who care little about making messes knowing full well that someone else will come along to clean it for them.

The last thing I want to see is American troops fighting for Israel.

“Is it just me or does anyone else think Hannity has become a book-hawking media-whore who uses his appeal to a wide conservative audience to fatten his and his buddies’ wallets?”

It’s just not you. His radio show has turned into an infomercial. If he’s really serious about his ‘conservative undergound’ he should endorse Hayworth.

Boehner as speaker? No.
Hunter or Bachman? YES

Has Sean announced who he’s supporting in the AZprimary?
Which of Sean’s friends will be on the show; Bob Beckel, Lanny Davis, Al Sharpton, or Juan Wiliams?

Has O’Shaughnessy officially come out for McCain over Hayworth?

Sadly, the Repubs have a truly empty suit to challenge the dims. “Dede” Reed has come out in support of the KSM trials in NYC and has said almost nothing about anything.

There has to be a ‘tea-party’ candidate out there who could challenge Reed in the primary.

Am re-reading Rise and Fall... for the fourth time. It gets more frightening each reading. It appears to be a how-to book for the current administration. Still shake my head when I think Hitler could have been stopped when they entered the Rhineland..and M is a great film. And Peter Lorre was great.

Seems like Silvio’s still in a coma.

Rooney is having a fantastic year. Certainly he’s the Premier League player of the year and maybe the best in Europe this year.
As for Berbatov? I don’t think he’s a good fit for the club. Would love to see ManU pick up another striker to go along w/WR. Just my two cents that’s all.

“The last thing we need is a third party when for once we have a chance in some districts.”

I was referring specifically to the NY 29th. Reed is not only a RINO but a nincompoop. He’s all in favor of having the KSM trial in NYC, and seems to be a true example of an empty suit. He was placed there by the local GOP bigwigs. If I knew he’d vote lock-step w/the Repubs I wouldn’t mind, but w/him you can’t be sure.
The 29th can still be won, but not w/Reed.

You can add the 23rd to that. It’s held by Massa but was formerly held by Kuhl and before that Houghton. THe Repub. “challenger”, Reed, is a bona fide joke.

Would love to see a conservative 3rd party run but no luck so far.

“You don’t get it. This announcement, at this time, is designed to prevent Hayworth from running. This is preemptive to clear the field. It doesn’t matter if she campaigns later or not - She is kingmaking for the Traitorous Bastard.”

I do get it. In the context of my post that was merely a rhetorical question, in fact in answer to another poster I posisted the same reasoning you did, although you did a better job. I’m not about to write off Palin, but my enthusiasm has waned quite a bit.
I was leery when she signed on w/Fox, which while doing good job in comparison to its competition is often little more than a RINO reunion.
As for her being ‘kingmaker”. I think that’s the route she’ll go, as long as her PAC gets money, and she can draw crowds.

“No surprise here. Her decision was expected. We still don’t know if she’ll get directly involved in a McCain v Hayworth battle. Has Hayworth declared a run yet?”

I’m afraid that this decision to campaign, or if not true, then the possibility of her campaigning for McCain, just might put the end to any chance of Hayworth running.

Wouldn’t it be funny if this was a rumor, or her words twisted out of context by the McCain people to prevent J.D. from running in the primary? If so, then ha-ha..the jokes on us.

If she campaigns against Hayworth in a primary, then to me, there is no confused messaged. She will be no better than those RINOS and status-quos who are ruining the party.

But I’m waiting and seeing. It wouldn’t be bad if its a one time courtesy call..a few perfunctory bromides more or less.

Bad move. I was all for Sarah but this changes things. So, if Hayworth decideds to run against McCain in the primary she’ll campaign for McCain? If a Scott Brown type, albeit a lot more conservative, decides to run against McCain in the primary she’ll campaign for him?

I can see her campaigning for him in the general election, but not in a primary.

The way things are going it won’t be long before there’s not a dimes worth of difference between her and Romney/Pawlenty et al.

“So I Guess in your mind she should keep her mouth shut and not say a word for the next 3 years”

Not sure how you got to that conclusion from my post. I thought she was doing a great job choosing when and how she went public. I want her to run for prez, I see no one else at this time I think is an alternative, just think why give the enemey any more opportunities than they have already to discredit or misinterpret what she says.

“Lying bstrds...she said nothing of the kind...and as she was about to explain what happened. OReally, of course, cut her off...”

Which is why she should not have signed on to the tv deal, if she any aspirations for prez. Everyword she says will be twisted and miscontrued, and it doesn’t matter how much is later clarified. She was fine on Facebook. She could say what she wanted to, when she wanted to, with the luxury of going over and editing before it appears.

If you thought she was badgered and lied about before, just wait a few weeks or so when the MSM gets to their twisting and bending whatever she says.

I’m not sure about this. I was hoping she would run fo Prez, and she still might. I thought she was doing a good job of staying fairly out of the fray but still able to express her viewpoints, and bash the Zer0.

Would this, and her Facebook, give her too much exposure before 2012? If she’s going to give her opinion, much like Dennis Miller or Karl Rove then fine, but I would hate her to stoop to the level of having to ‘debate’ liberal clowns.

Nicky hasn’t been the same since, “Eyes Wide Shut.” But she was hottttt and did a great job in, “To Die For,” and just as good in a film noirish movie with Alec Baldwin and Bill Pullman in “Malice.” Check out, “Birthday Girl,” as well.

Have no complaints about Weinstein having a failure after failure

Emanuel will leave when he’s good and ready. Emanuel and Axlerod do the real work behind the scenes, the Zer0’s the front man..the real action is always behind the door at the back of the room.

Nope. The bad guy(idiot) is Franken. The other idiot(bad guy)is Levin. The clueless one is McCain, but it was nice he stood up for his friend.

Let me get this straight: Franken denies Joe a minute, McCain, our loveable RINO from AZ stands up and defends him..McCain says he doesn’t know what’s been happening in the senate that such a thing could happen, Levin stands up ‘corrects’ McCain that something similar happened early in the day, McCain says he’s never seen such a thing in 20years and deplores the lack of comity in the senate.
Franken is a clown, but McCain is clueless.

When will J.D. announce and send Clueless John into the private sector?

Gene Barry; Burke’s Law, the epitome of suave.

Too bad for Neuheisel. He was checkmated. Carroll took the knee and RN refused the checkmate. Why call a time-out? For one player to deliver a cheap shot before the game was over?
RN got what he deserved.

S.E. Cupp is hot!

I think Beck was the first big time talk show endorsement, Rush followed and then Hannity a few days later. Hannity did have Newt on and his show, and for the most part let Newt off the hook.
Kudos to Beck.

I used to deliver the Bergen Evening Record when I was a kid, before it became The Record. It was a good newspaper, and I only lived a few block away.
A few years later I delivered the Newark Star-Ledger. Both were good papers. They had great sports sections, and great opinion pages. It’s a shame to see such papers become what nothing more than socialistic tripe.
