the young woman took his advice and thus, we have the Oprah Winfrey show to thank Roger Ebert for

One of the most socially damning women to ever help destroy our country: an atheist, a left-wing liberal, a filth racist, a lesbian, etc.

Yeah, thanks a lot, Ebert. These slavish tributes to basically worthless people get me sick.

I see that he mentioned Jeff Lyons. He did movie reviews on a NYC station. Back in the early 80s I would go see a movie without seeing his review first. If he panned a movie and said to avoid that one, I would go see it and always had a good time. If he loved a movie, I ended up avoiding them as he was never right with his picks.

...Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls was his great claim to fame....

Ah, to be remembered for such a piece of trashy writing and for giving the world Oprah. Fitting.

A few years ago, for example, there was a story in the Canadian papers that said that Kim Jong Il had a plan to nuke Montreal. And those of us who loved Quebec said well, why Montreal? And the reason was apparently that Kim Jong Il had calculated that if he nuked Chicago or Milwaukee, that the Americans might feel obliged to respond. But if he nuked a Canadian city, then the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations would just issue a strongly worded letter of regret. And those kind of, we laugh that those kinds of calculations, but they’re what are dancing through this guy’s head right now.

In a civilized country people like Kim Jong and his son would be running local Chinese restaurants ... and the health department would be trying to shut them down... Their more ethical cousins would be decent citizens here - the same people who in North Korea are the people who starve or are in prisons.

The beauty of the United States for the most part has been that thugs don't make it to the top politically... well usually. In countries like North Korea only they're the only ones who make it to the top.
