I thought this sounded good. It starts this Sunday on AMC. Has anyone heard anything about it yet?

The new AMC series Turn, which premieres April 6, is bewildering at first. We’re dropped smack in the middle of British-occupied New York. The year is 1776, and Abraham Woodhull (Jamie Bell) is scraping by as a cabbage farmer and sometime innkeeper in Setauket, Long Island. He’s husband to Mary (Meegan Warner), and father to a young child. His father, Richard (Kevin McNally), is a local magistrate loyal to George III. Then the scene shifts. We’re now in New Jersey. A stunning overhead shot reveals a sprawling field of bluecoat rebel bodies lying next to a pool dyed red with...

On Monday's O'Reilly Factor on Fox News, NPR news analyst Juan Williams furthered the left's talking point about the tea party's supposed connection to militias, and even went so far to claim that the Gadsden or "Don't Tread on Me" flags used by the conservative grassroots movement is "the same imagery that was on Timothy McVeigh" Read more and see video HERE.

The starnge, sometimes brilliant career of quarterback Daunte Culpepper — who played Butch to Randy Moss' Sundance in six seasons with the Vikings — has announced his retirement. It wasn't at a press conference, but in an email to NFL.com reporter Adam Schefter. Replaced by Trent Green in Miami, a backup with the Raiders ... yeah, that would do it for me too. And so that one guy in your fantasy pool who always drafts a big name free agent in the hopes that he'll pull out a Comeback Player of the Year season is foiled again. I hated that...

MIAMI -- The Miami Dolphins released quarterback Daunte Culpepper on Tuesday, ending the former Pro Bowler's short stint in South Florida and wrapping up what became a contentious split between the player and the team. The Dolphins made the move in a one-sentence release, without further comment. Miami tried for weeks to trade Culpepper, the former Minnesota Vikings star who was acquired by the Dolphins before the 2006 season even though he was coming off major knee surgery. Culpepper never regained his form last year, struggling in four games before the team shut him down so he could continue rehabilitating...

The Dolphins completed a trade with Minnesota for quarterback Daunte Culpepper on Tuesday after talks with free agent quarterback Drew Brees hit a standstill. Two sources confirmed that the Dolphins gave up a second round pick to the Vikings in the upcoming draft for Culpepper shortly after hearing that Brees received a six-year, $60 million contract from the Saints. The deal includes $10 million guaranteed, according to Brees' agent, Tom Condon. ...snip... Culpepper was on his way to South Florida from Orlando to meet with the team. Culpepper is also expected to be examined by team physicians to check out...

Inside XXXIX: Culpepper blindsided by erroneous reporting Kevin Seifert February 4, 2005 SUPE0204.DIARY JACKSONVILLE, FLA. -- This is what happens when there is too much media and not enough stories. One of the NFL's most genuine and kind players carried out a genuinely kind act Wednesday. And what did Vikings quarterback Daunte Culpepper get for his thoughtfulness? National scorn, thanks to an Associated Press reporter who misinterpreted the scene and never bothered to follow up with the key players. Here's what happened...

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (Jan. 18) - Philadelphia has long been considered one of the toughest places to play in the National Football League - with a major reason being the antics of the Eagles' notoriously rough crowd. A few Minnesota Vikings players said some of the fans harassed their relatives at Lincoln Financial Field in Sunday's playoff game, which the Eagles won 27-14. "It's a shame it happened, but I think they overall still had a good time," left guard Chris Liwienski said. Quarterback Daunte Culpepper was upset about the way he said his wife was treated in the stands....

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but here goes anyway: Any of you patriots out there know where I can get a car-flag sized version of one of the "rattlesnake" flags? The Gadsden, Culpepper, or First Navy Jack will do :). I feel that these militia flags have a rather more pointed message... "Dont tread on me" (no apostrophe in "don't" is traditional). I've searched all over the web for one, and I'm starting to think that I might have to silk-screen my own! I've seen them in 3'x 5', and I'm probably going...
