I don’t swing that way myself, but I guess that George was just compensating for lack of quality with increased volume.

Add a “ke” to the middle of that and stir.

Or George Tierney Jr. of Greenville South Carolina could be a performance artist. We’ll have to see how long it takes for him to consult an actual lawyer, since it’s pretty obvious he hasn’t seen a lawyer yet.

And what’s more, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!

So how long will it take George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina to figure out that lawsuits in courts can possibly get George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina featured in actual newspapers, newsmagazines, TV news shows, etc. etc. etc. The over/under is three weeks.

Granted those outlets aren’t going to publish his tweet verbatim (so that people don’t spit up their Froot Loops when they read/hear it in the morning), but said outlets generally have ways to give everybody enough of the flavor so that they wish that they had never heard of George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina. (And if people were really curious, there’s always Google.)

Some conservative journalists left satisfied with what they heard. At one point, Romney told attendees that the campaign intended to work closely with their outlets and will even help conservative outlets writing about Obama with opposition research, according to an attendee.

The word is that Obama never showed up for Texas Air National Guard duty….

So did Bristol’s request for a phone call look something like this?

Iggles fan.

And Elway wept. “Crap, we’re gonna have to keep him now, they’ll burn my house down otherwise.”

And yea, verily, THE LORD sayeth, “I will smite The Barber, and make him my tool, to my greater glory and the glory of my Chosen One, whom I love, but not in that way.” Praise Jeebus!

Come on now. They went downmarket from Angelina Jolie and Charlize Theron, they can certainly go further downmarket from Taylor Schilling and Grant Bowler. For Part II, they cast Paul Johansson, his cousins Lester and Erma, and their extended family, and they cut the special effects budget and just do all the speeches, because that’s really what people pay their good money to see.

And then for Part III, Paul Johansson can just run around the set for three hours with only body paint on.

Regarding Olive Garden, I plead incompetence, I’m from the midwest.

But any critic who thinks it’s a funny prank to set up a lunch date at Olive Garden fully deserves to dine there for reals.

Even in 1957, when Atlas Shrugged was published, the writing was on the wall for long-distance passenger train travel. The National Interstate and Defense Highways Act of 1956 and the opening of jet-worthy airports (such as O’Hare in 1955) pointed the way to how most people would get from here to there in the not-so-distant future. Of course, motor and air travel rely primarily on government-operated facilities. Government also had a role in the railroad industry (particularly in its early development), but in 1957, that role was a lot easier to hide with railroads than with cars or jets.

In any case, Rand was probably correct in noting that you can’t write a good robber-baron story without a railroad.

If you think that all that is needed is to throw out all those liberal touchy-feely educational theories and go straight for that old-timey corporal punishment (despite what the parents might want or say), that’s pretty much all that’s needed.

Who are you to say that those trains don’t turn into robots, smart guy? It’s not in the trailer, they just haven’t got to that part of the film yet.

Long may the flag jiggle.

Well that’s great, Pat Metheny. What are we supposed to do about it? I already boycott Kenny G and would have continued to do so even without the Louis Armstrong thing. And how are you going to make fun of somebody who calls himself Kenny G?
