Born in San Antonio, Texas, within a mile of the Alamo (and raised within three), I am a rabid Texan; somewhat on the conservative side. :-)
Now living in Houston, Texas; I love to comment on various blogs, sometimes under my own name, but usually under my nom-de-internet of Paul_In_Houston.
Still trying to figure out what I would like to do when I grow up.
"Of COURSE, they're naked!!! ... - It's dangerous to jump through a fire with your clothes on!" ~Christopher Lee (as Lord Summerisle in The Wicker Man) to a policeman who has just stated the obvious while watching a pagan ritual. (Mr. Lee is the subject of this post)
Peacemaker - This post is about airplanes (the B-36 in particular), and is gonna have a bunch of boring photos of same.
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy - Can a story that was made into a truly excellent five and a half hour mini-series be rendered into a script for a two-hour movie, without proving "rend" a very appropriate part of that verb?
"It DOESN'T!!!"... - roared the CIA Records Keeper (Ernest Borgnine) ln response to operative William Cooper's (Karl Urban) observation, "I never knew this place even existed."
WANTED!!! -- For stealing these movies... - Three movies: each loaded with talent; and a character actor or relative newcomer makes it his own. ("Absence of Malice","Get Shorty", "RED")
"My name is Boyd Crowder... - A "bit of a rave" (Thanks, Foxfier :-), about my favorite TV show. ("Justified") - Updated 31 Jan 2012
Today, I was "Unprofessional"... I got hooked on blogs because a link on MSNBC's website sent me to this, about the tsunami that hit Indonesia on Christmas Day, 2004.
Houston elects fiscally conservative mayor One other open your eyes item which caught my eye in the About Annise page: "the city’s $20 million Rainy Day Fund". What fiscal truth does Houston know, yet NYC, Boston, Chicago, and LA do not? This is not a tricky question.
Democracy Denied: The Obama Chart Flashplayer interactive image shows how The Won bypasses all procedural restraints to get what he wants. LOTS of things to scream to your congressmen about. And, scream you should. (Update - 09 May 2011 - chart still there and being constantly updated)
