You have lovely children. I begin to wonder if there is still another woman in your life besides Laura and Lilly. Let's see some photos of Mary, please.

Caudell http://www.tedtedted.com/2006/08/17/banjo-hangout/#comment-14381 Fri, 02 May 2008 20:30:15 +0000 http://www.tedtedted.com/2006/08/17/banjo-hangout/#comment-14381 I have a couple tenor banjos I need to sell. One is about a 1950's Gretch 'New Yorker', needs some minor trim replacement. The other is a 1928 Maybell by 'Slingerland'. The Maybell (unfortunely) is without the resinator-back, but except for the head is in good shape. Please advise I have a couple tenor banjos I need to sell.

But since I would have been kept very happy just by the armored bears, everything else was a pleasant bonus. Had heard how much the anti-organized-religion theme got bowdlerized, so I was pleased to find that the film still maintained some sense of "which side are you on" (besides that of the talking armored bears, of course)....

The Coulter thing went right past me. I need to watch more TV. What excited me the most about these books was their explicit opposition to the treacly, manipulative Narnia series. It took a lot of guts to try that "Republic of Heaven" idea in what was essentially a children's story, and I thought Pullman really made it work. I just wish the filmmakers had gone with that, instead of taking the Clintonian route of hiding the good stuff so deep one forgets where to find it. Hm. The Coulter thing went right past me.

The fight for free thought rests on an alliance of the University and the Rabble (aka Salt of the Earth). And it can't be a coincidence that the evil and venomous leggy blonde defender of power & privilege is named Coulter....

And the web ad that follows _that_ is, unintentionally, priceless. Another non sequitur that turns out to be related-- in this case, by proving Stewart's point. That was good– but here’s a summary that’s distilled to about 150 proof:
