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?

Premier Manager Shows NFL Pussies How A Real Dick Does It
Kinnear, even if he does have a piss poor footballing squad, enters into the FCP Hall of Fame. Can we give him an honorary doctorate?

Jacksonians vs Academics
Jacksonians believe in natural liberty -- I'll leave you alone if you'll leave me alone, but if you attack my family or my country, I'll kill you. Academics are, to say the least, lightly represented in the American military, and in economic terms they tend to compete with the military for public dollars. They seek honor for the work of peace as fiercely as Jacksonians seek honor for the feats of war. Hmmm...

Where is John Brown when you need him?
Or, for that matter, William Tecumseh Sherman? What we get, instead, is this: Before the eyes of the world, a leading citizen of the Netherlands begs the legislature of Europe to protect her against assassins whose declared goal is the destruction of Europe’s liberties as well as its civilization. The Dutch government turns its back. Europe’s Parliament listens politely and refers the matter to committee. And this: Stripped of casuistry, he proposed that Muslim women subject to forced marriages, genital mutilation, or domestic violence should be handed over to Muslim religious courts, rather than be offered the protection of English Common Law. To my knowledge, this is the first time that one of Europe’s spiritual leaders has proposed to abandon innocent victims to their fate. Versailles in all its glory.

McCain re-emphasizes that the South lost the Civil War
When will Southerners finally get it, that the Civil War was fought over slavery, and that the State's Rights argument was just another ploy to defend their individual state right to preserve that wickedly peculiar institution?
Nice work on this point, McCain. Nice work indeed.
