This fellow Warren E. Buffet is one who may be more responsible for the condition America is in than Bush or Obama. He goes on TV because he is the expert and warns of doom. Americans run to do as he has spoken to do. Stocks crash and he cries about losing 25 billion, when in the long run he will make many times that.http://finance.yahoo.com/banki…calculating-his-bets.html
The worst part it will be with the Government's and most of Americas blessing. He told the Gov't what to do and then invested in the areas that he spoke about. If that does not rank up with insider trading I do not know what does. Politicians irritate me, but the rich who act above it all really get under my skin. There is a reason for the Bible verse that it is harder for a camel to go through an eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

Waiter: Sir, did you forget what day it is?

Duke: No, it's Tuesday!

Waiter: Sir it's Wednesday, and your date is waiting in the lobby!

We had rain,thunder and lightning for weeks on end. This is the first week of temps in the 50's,60's,70's and no rain.

THAT is why I teach my children at home! They definitely have a better working knowledge of the English language than the average student. Spelling is sometimes a weakness in the homeschooling community,

Mrs C, I think 2 of the last 3 winners of the spelling bee that you can watch on ESPN, are home schooled kids. It's the nationally run spelling bee, I just forgot the name.

Quote from Stumpy

How 'bout a refresher in the proper English spelling of "grammar", Mike?

Machst Du keinen spass mit Mike, Stumpy?

This movie is near impossible to find, and when you do is the tape playable? Is there a reason that it has not been reissued in DVD?

Quote from Big Duke

Well, All I can think of is George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, John Hancock. and a Tea Party, Patrick Henry said it best, Give me Libery or give me death, A man on his knee's is half a man. He dies many death's a Hero dies only once,
but it's standing. I know how I'll be going out.

Interesting all the people you mentioned. Many heroic men in American history were Christians, and I have seen the Dean Martin show were Duke tells of teaching his daughter the Lord's prayer. It seems bending one's knee in prayer was not so beneath Duke, or as with many men in our countries historic past. So if a man on his knees before God is half a man, count me in with them.

Great Post Chilibill. That was one of the first songs I learned to play on the guitar.
Thanks for bringing back found memories.

Stumpy, in Pennsylvania, towns in the Poconos where old mines with run off developed what they call sink holes. The towns were closed down at one point years ago and I think finally reopened. If ever a sink hole was needed, one under D.C. would do just fine. Politicians are as evil as one can get, so the sink hole would be perfect for cock roaches.

Back on topic, it has been in the 60's for 3 days during the night and then last night in the 50's. During the day in the 70's.

It is what the government has been doing for years. Parents who did not want to parent and correct their kids, so for equal opportunity the government rather than hold them accountable made it illegal for others to actually discipline their children.
Same with education, you had parents who did nothing with their kids and again the government rather than hold them accountable choose to dumb down America.

Thanks everyone for clearing that up for me.

I was looking through this book because I finally did a Access database of my Duke movies.

THE COMPLETE FILMS OF JOHN WAYNE, by Zmiewsky and Ricci

I noticed one of the movies I have Hell Town is not in the book. Makes me think how many more are out there I don't own or not in that book.

Ned, some of those Scout masters are like drill sergeants.

Quote from Ervserver

Unseasonably cool here, down to 54° last night and a high of 70° today

Same here in Pa. A few days ago in the 90's and now in the 50's at night.

Stumpy, that's a very nice and beautiful afghan. My Grandmother crocheted all the time, and finally one day when she baby sat me she taught me how to do it. I have mine she made for me, it's 45 years old.

We now Vick here in Philly. What a dog and pony show with the animal rights people. Some good has come with him here they already busted a major dog fighting ring.
The Eagle fans have grabbed up his jersey. He took the field and the place went nuts.
It also should be an interesting season.

Quote from Hondo Duke Lane

Robert Novak was a conservative commentator that had the same cancer Ted Kennedy had. Why didn't the media make such a fuss when Robert died on August 18 as they did for ole Teddy? Anyway he and Rowland Evans started a column called Evans-Novak Political Report.

A little late but RIP Robert.

This guy told it the way he saw it. The Washington Libs were glad to see him out of the public.

Quote from Hondo Duke Lane

Sorry he died the way he did. I don't wish it on anyone, including Ted Kennedy. I know, my father suffered with cancer 8 years ago, and it was terrible. So, I will say that I wouldn't wish cancer to my worst enemy.

Cheers Hondo

I agree Hondo. My Mom had cancer all throughout her life and finally her last time with other complications took her life.

..old movie set...

For Kennedy and many others there should be a check box for military service that says appeared rather than served. Going through the motions and being held in the same light as those who truly did serve is a disgrace.
