  • Star Trek or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Self Destruct Sequence

    What if no one canceled self destruct? Let That Be Your Last Battlefield aired 5 years after Dr. Strangelove. But notice the similar extreme zoom-ins to control panels and exterior shots. Was this episode a parody? This is my own edit mashup. I couldn’t find the original music score from the Kubrick film so I recomposed it by ear for this project.

    Josep Borrell suggests Putin ‘cannot afford bluffing’ and says those backing Ukraine — including NATO and the US — ‘are not bluffing neither’ BRUSSELS — EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell warned Moscow on Thursday that its forces would be “annihilated” by the West’s military response if Russian President Vladimir Putin uses nuclear weapons against Ukraine. “Putin is saying he is not bluffing. Well, he cannot afford bluffing, and it has to be clear that the people supporting Ukraine and the European Union and the Member States, and the United States and NATO are not bluffing neither,” Borrell said at...

    Vera Lynn, the British singer whose songs provided hope for Allied troops during World War II, died Thursday at 103. “The family are deeply saddened to announce the passing of one of Britain’s best-loved entertainers at the age of 103," the singer's family said in a statement. "Dame Vera Lynn, who lived in Ditchling, East Sussex, passed away earlier today, 18 June 2020, surrounded by her close family.” Lynn was most known for her songs "The White Cliffs of Dover" and "We'll Meet Again," the latter serving as the melody in the ending montage of Stanley Kubrick's famed movie, "Dr....

    Even before he was caught playing poker on his iPhone at a Senate hearing on Wednesday, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) had already sent a message: Anything less than an extensive aerial assault on the Syrian regime by American forces would be an unacceptable approach to the conflict in the Middle East. This was hardly surprising. Over the last two decades, McCain has rarely missed an opportunity to call for the escalation of an international conflict. Since the mid-1990s, he's pushed for regime change in more than a half a dozen countries—occasionally with disastrous consequences.

    ACUSHNET (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - A Catholic church in Acushnet is stirring up controversy because of what's on a sign out front. A sign outside of the Saint Francis Xavier Church Tuesday now reads "TWO MEN ARE FRIENDS NOT SPOUSES." Someone who didn't agree left a rainbow colored balloon and a note that read "you may not be welcome in the church, but all people are welcome in this community! Spread LOVE not hate!" The church sits directly across from the town hall and serves the Fall River Diocese. Angry parishioners and residents took to the church's Facebook page...

    Get outtaheah, yabum! Get a job! That used to be the standard American answer to folks like the Occu-pishers of Wall Street. If you've ever wondered what "enfant terrible" means, check out the pics of the Progs, heroically pooping on the American flag. This is not a one-time incident. They keep doing the same thing. But then -- think about the U.S. soldiers who are risking their lives this very minute in the badlands of Afghanistan. What are they thinking? What effect does Obama's endorsement of the Progs have on their morale? Would you risk your life for people who...

    What with the Left enthusiastically pushing Socialism but trying desperately not to use that word, I was reminded of a clip from the movie "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb." Click here for the video. Is it just me or is there a distinct familiarity to Seller's brilliant performance as a former Nazi scientist reverting to form, physically revealing his true beliefs while trying to preserve the pretense of being "objective" and as a "respectable," non-partisan scientist and the performance we are getting from President Obama, his minions in Congress and the State...

    In 1977, D. S. Russell warned that end-time theorists might “create the very situation which is being described [in their prophetic writings] so that the interpretation given brings about its own fulfillment.”1 Paul Boyer, professor emeritus of history at the University of Wisconsin at Madison and currently a visiting professor of history at the College of William and Mary and a long-time analyst of prophetic themes and their impact on politics,2 pointed out as recently as 2003 that “as the nation debates a march toward war in the Middle East, all of us would do well to pay attention to...

    Scientists developed 'gay bomb' to make enemy soldiers stop fighting and make love Last updated at 16:59pm on 8th October 2007 "All's fair in love and war," the old proverb goes. And one group of military scientists certainly took the statement to heart when they designed a "gay bomb" to make enemy soldiers irresistible to each other. Researchers from the US Air Force submitted a three-page proposal to Pentagon chiefs to develop lust-creating chemical weapon, it has been revealed. Scientists at the Wright Laboratory in Dayton, Ohio - working to make American military might even mightier - made the discovery...

    DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Republican presidential contenders sparred over abortion on Sunday but generally agreed the United States must remain in Iraq as part of the war on terror. "Just come home," countered Texas Rep. Ron Paul, the lone dissenter on a debate stage when it came to Iraq. He said there had never been a good reason to go to war in the first place. "Has he forgotten about 9/11?" interjected former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. But it was Romney forced on the defensive on the issue of abortion, when Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback defended automated phone calls...

To be a child in school where they told us that if a nuclear bomb went off, to hide under our desks. And who can forget being in a public place, never wanting to be very far from a nuclear fallout shelter. The good old days.

    It's hard to get them out of my head. Here's the story if you missed it: Iraqi Islamists are threatening shepherds with violence if they don't clothe their goats with diapers to avoid tempting lonely shepherds. Another facet of the "new Middle East." Yes, it's funny. But it's also revealing about the way fundamentalism and sex interact. What most male-run religious fundamentalisms include is a major exception for the hetero-male sex drive. Sex outside of missionary-position reproduction with legal wife/wives is officially verboten; but when frail male flesh gives in, the blame is almost always the object of desire -...

    After 60 years, debate over fluoride still rages Sunday, July 24, 2005 The 30 or 40 patients who come through the Morris County dental office of Dr. Leonard Lawrence each week can get their teeth cleaned, drilled and filled. What they won't get is any fluoride - not in his cements, polishes or fillings.He doesn't even recommend fluoride toothpaste - just good brushing, flossing and eating habits - because he thinks its cavity-fighting claims aren't proven. "The basic knowledge about fluoride is that it is a poison," he said. "That's why there's a warning on the back of the toothpaste...

(AP) - After a judge Friday declined to put an immediate end to same-sex marriages in San Francisco, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger ordered California's attorney general Friday to "take immediate steps" to get a court ruling to make the city stop. Schwarzenegger's directive to Attorney General Bill Lockyer was prompted in part by the judge's decision not to impose a temporary restraining order that would have halted San Francisco's weeklong...
