A hypothetical (Blog Entry by jwray)
> If the USA had preempted Pearl Harbor, might the reconstruction of Japan have turned out as badly as present day Iraq?

that begs the question:
if the usa had attacked first, would we still have won?

i think sun tzu would smile on your closing statement, j.

Trained Goldfish Performs Amazing Tricks?!?
^ ...and?
did they bust them?

i mean, it's not all that unlikely after all.
they're just doing slalom n' stuff. behavior that should come pretty natural to a fish, with some toys and a little operant conditioning thrown in.

not like they're fetching anyone's slippers, right?...

Libertarian Party Nominee Bob Barr on ABC 07/06/2008
ron paul should be their candidate, and would've been, were it not for the fact that 3rd parties still can't crack 10% in the states, yet.

presumptive here, but...
we'll see how obama does, his first term. if he's as hollow as choggie suspects, i think a libertarian could finally have a chance in 2012.

Gnarls Barkley/Crazy - One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
hmm... "best book to movie adaptation"

as in, overall quality of the source text and/or adapted film?
degree to which they were faithful to the source material?
that's often just as difficult. like crunching Hamlet down to an hour and a half.

Get Shorty was an excellent adaptation. elmore leonard has a snappy paperback style that plays well onscreen. especially when it's that well-cast, shot, and edited (as was again true for Out of Sight and Jackie Brown).

i'd read 'Wiseguy' long before Goodfellas was made, and found it a remarkably good adaptation even for scorcese. it's all in there. right down to how karen hill used to hold her thumb and forefinger apart to indicate how thick a stack of hundreds she wanted to go shopping with.

got problems?
^ is that a rhetorical question?
like, some punchline, where the Lone Ranger says "we're in trouble", and Tonto replies "What you mean we, paleface?"

i don't really think you needed me, or anyone else, to explain each use of the word 'we' here, in each context.
