Keep diggin'

Sometimes, that's the smart thing to do.

A Tenner List, Ad Memoriam

Ok, they surely meant to say "American made War movies". But still, some odd choices. Setting aside their ordering, the first four they mention do deserve to be in the top 10. The last three are a joke. Those in the middle, ok, sort of.

My top 10 for "american made ones", no order intended: Blackhawk Down, Paths of Glory, Patton, Saving Private Ryan, Hamburger Hill, We Were Soldiers [Once, and Young], Apocalypse Now, The Longest Day, The Thin Red Line, Memphis Belle.

With close "honorable mention" to Deerhunter, Empire of the Sun, Catch 22, All Quiet on the Western Front, The Sand Pebbles, Cross of Iron.

Very tempted to include The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly in the top 10. But I suppose it isn't usually considered to be a warmovie....

So, again with the restriction to Yankee made flicks, whaddya guys think?

After All, There Would Be No Point to Party Control if the Party Did Not Control

This country, founded upon a Constitution aiming for "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" will not have a Tricentennial. It may not even make it through my lifetime. The Democrats are corrupted and malevolent. The opposition is corrupted and weak. Nothing left but the schadenfreude delights of watching the cretins who egged the nation on this suicideal path getting crisped in the process.
