Daily Discussions on Richard Nixon Bobble Head| I dream of Richard Nixon | | Last night i had a strange dream about Santa being bullied. Richard Nixon was the head of a gang of bullies dressed as 8 year old school boys. In his gang were Elvis Presley,Ironside from the 70's tv show and Margaret Thatcher who,unfortunately, is not even dead!Nixon kept accussing Santa of creating a whitewash over the delivery schedule at christmas, Elvis told him he was going to get all shook up and Thatcher threatened to invade lapland as it belonged to the British. The final straw was when Ironside ran over his toe.Well! Santa went ballistic! He was like a scarlet ninja turtle and knocked seven shades of sh1t out of them!And for all you kids out there that do get bullied, do a santa! you will not get bothered again! ( I jest, tell someone)Anybody else had strange dreams? | |
| | | Bill Ayers was a hero. | | I expect this discussion to attract the same sheeple and group thinkers, and those who are blatantly unaware of how unintelligent they are. I expect the same pissing contest and link wars that always prolong my discussions, and say, "bring the drama on, right wing hypocrites."I am up at four in the morning, in an insomniatic stage thinking about this, and how awful people are. This is mostly in brainstorm mode, and not a formal discussion. It is mostly off the cuff, and I do admit I have more research to do on the subject content. (That is a disclaimer for those of you who want to engage in a link war).This is basically food for thought.I watched a very unbiased documentary called "The Weather Underground". I normally take notes on each movie I watch, and then do further research, but this is my kneejerk response, and then I will rewatch it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LV7GSff4fIAMany people are absolutely firm in their assertion that Bill Ayers (out of all the members of the Weather Undergound) was a terrorist. They believe that because it makes for an awesome campaign slogan (ie, Palin's suggesting that Obama "pals around with terrorists"). Those who... | |

| | Hard To Believe Examples Dirty Politics of The Past | | In 1972, an early frontrunner for the Democratic presidential race named Edmund Muskie became a victim of dirty politics. Allegations of Muskie's wife being an active alcoholic were made ... a good example of dirty politics. Muskie's emotional defense of his wife made him appear weak and vulnerable.And he lost.Dirty politics is an intrusive investigations into opponent's personal life. And IRS audits by an incumbent president. President Richard Nixon maintained an entire staff of experts in dirty politics ... including Donald Segretti and a young Republican named Karl Rove. Political enemies of the president were routinely audited for years.And we know how Richard Nixon finished his last days of Presidentship. | |
| | read Confucius---- humanity | | One of the most important ideas of Confucius is HUMANITY, in Chinese REN. This idea is not only seen in his political attitude, but also in his views of life, moral standard and manners. To quote from THE ANALECTS (a book compiled by his students as a record of his sayings), the meaning of Humanity is as following:Confucius said,'Humanity means to restrain oneself and observe the rites. Once one does this, the whole world will be embraced in one's humane mind.' (Rites were norms and regulations guiding the behaviour of the nobles and relations among them.)
Confucius said,'A humane person is one who help others to be established when he wishes to be established himself. To start from one's own desires can be a way of practising humanity.'(translated by Pro. Ding Wangdao) To start from one's own desires implies thinking that others may have the similar desires as one's own. There are many other sayings on humanity. Maybe it is a little difficult to understand. Please give your comments. I appreciate them very much in advance. | |
| | TV Land Lists 100 Greatest Catchphrases | | Sometimes it takes only a word, or just a few, to become immortalized in television history.
The TV Land cable network has compiled a list of the 100 greatest catchphrases in TV, from the serious Walter Cronkite's nightly signoff "And that's the way it is" to the silly: "We are two wild and crazy guys!"
The network will air a countdown special, "The 100 Greatest TV Quotes & Catch Phrases," over five days starting Dec. 11.
We have found that television is such a huge part of baby boomers' DNA that it makes sense that so much of America's pop culture jargon has come from TV," said Larry Jones, TV Land president.
The greatest number of moments, 26, come from the 1970s. TV Land identified nine moments from this decade. Ten are from commercials, and 28 from comedies, including six from "Saturday Night Live."
In alphabetical order, TV Land's list:
_"Aaay" (Fonzie, "Happy Days")
_"And that's the way it is"
_"Ask not what your country can do for you ..." (John F. Kennedy)
_"Baby, you're the greatest" (Jackie Gleason as Ralph Kramden, "The Honeymooners")
_"Bam!" (Emeril Lagasse, "Emeril Live")
_"Book 'em, Danno" (Steve McGarrett, "Hawaii Five-O")
_"Come on down!"... | |
