Leena, wildpegasus, CronoT, who else is in Mike's fave-poster list?

And didn't Paul offer to buy it from Mike a few months ago? Thus making the money thing nothing for him to complain about at this point.

A weird thing about politcal/history books. One of my favorite books ever (from all genres) is Robert Kennedy & His Times by Art Schlesinger...but many of his other books (Age of Jackson, 1000 Days, Imperial Presidency, etc), while being very informative, are very difficult to read. It's as if he often tries too hard to make sure every reader knows how intelligent he is and forgets to write history in the gripping fashion that it so lends itself to. In the Bobby K book he somehow managed to bring forth the emotion as well as the facts.

I just finished John Ehrlichman's memoirs of his Nixon years, Witness to Power, and enjoyed it. Im proud that this thread has gone 10 pages.

Maybe some of Leena's 20,000 myspace friends could have seen that name in the whole ten minutes it was up.

That 'joke' was given up 5 months ago after I contantly reminded everyone how retarded/wrong it was.

How long until gary floyd realizes nobody gives a shit about him?

You should be banned from here so you can get away from TSM, leave Buffalo, and live outside of this messageboard.

I will be representing the great Hunter Thompson tonight at the Bob Dylan show in Madison. Wear a hat.

CronoT, Wildpegasus, & Leena...what a team.

That's how this mindless thread started in the first place. Probably.

I forget the words to the joke that are supposed to go here.

Sad.

"Its the entire population (of an internet wrestling messageboard that I use 24/7) that is wrong, I am right." That is a pretty good indication of mental illness.

"You kids are all pathetic so Im spending every waking hour here. Because Im intelligent right."

Peter Galbraith (JK's son) wrote a pretty good book on the Iraq War as well and gave a great speech about it on CSPAN recently.

I never understood that complaint about Heenan. The announcers were all playing paranoid at the time and it seemed like the perfect thing to say, especially for a guy that had feuded with Hogan for a couple decades.

As the TSM turns.

Maybe they only compared the death tolls...2 million Vietnamese to about 55,000 Americans. My father summed it up as "we won every battle, yet lost the war." He wrote a book on his time there that is one of the most graphic pieces I have ever read on how terrible war really is.

He's the best writer named Stephen King in American history. Probably.

When will the 'theyre just jealous' card be played?

Tim Robbins is a movie actor, not a writer. Tom Robbins is a great American author from the Seattle area. You know how snobbish/pretentious we get around here viva. You've clearly read what has been posted in this thread. How you can be so shocked/offended by the reaction to your comment about King being the best American writer of a half-century is really beyond me.

I think Czech was the only person in this thread going with Rush's nonsense.

Really, the best I can do is reiterate what is actually happening & offer the historical precedent of coerced-freedom never working. If a person refuses to acknowledge the obvious, and is blind to the history of their species, then the chances of them being able to grip reality are very dismal. Those that don't see what is happening now, never will. Some people still think Vietnam was a swell idea.
