She felt that he was given a bum rap by the Strachey crowd. That he was sort of a Weimar prince. <BR/><BR/>But sometimes, West was bullheadedly wrong.Roger Gathmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11257400843748041639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077210.post-1138988960966597532006-02-03T18:49:00.000+01:002006-02-03T18:49:00.000+01:00Patrick, Boehner day?Oh please.

It's been about 15 years, and I've always loved when she says 'You are just saying that because you want something to eat, you Italian pig.' Giannini says: 'Oh, no, you are BEAUTIFUL?' Stoler says: 'You will get your chance to make lofe...'<BR/><BR/>I used to think America had a dearth of festivals, but that was all wet. The SOTU, the Golden Globes, the Oscars, the Super Bowl are all genuine festivals, they are all even forms of holidays, explaining now to me why Halloween is not so depleted by itself just because All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day are ignored. Hell, and yesterday was Ground Hog Day as well as Boehner Day, there was Medicaid/Medicare Destruction Day on Mon. or Wed., SOTU shared Tuesday with Oscar Nominee Day. so there's just no end to the jollies we get more than countries that take their religions too seriously (it occurred to me today that American Christians, even the extreme ones, don't do a comparable job of that, because much of it is still determined by a concept of their own convenience, although it ignores without guilt anyone else's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
