I'd just love to blog tonight, but the third season of Newsradio arrived earlier today.

Comments

Phil Hartman's was one of the few celebrity deaths that truly saddened me.

And beyond being brilliant, the cast has direct connections to PeeWee's Playhouse, Kids In The Hall, Fear Factor, ER, Office Space, Old School, and The Corner. Enjoy.

Sweet. I forgot all about Newsradio on NetFlix. I'm adding it now! Ahhh, Dave Foley and Phil Hartman. I just love them. Celebrity P*ker Showdown wouldn't be the same without Foley.

I was backing out of a parking space at Sam's Club when I heard the news that Phil Hartman had been killed. I almost backed into the car behind me from sheer disbelief. We lost one of the true great ones that day.

Somebody out there has to remember this!
When AMC first started, and was commercial free, they had a great series on a 1930's radio station. If I could remember the name I could, not only recommend, but buy as it was just a superb program.

Mike Daley,

It is called "Remember WENN"

Posted by: MAJ C at March 4, 2006 09:40 AM

I'll check it out.

Here's some news, you make the call.

-

A post for another site, in New Times Roman or The New Roman Times.

Lazy ? You 'do' 'realies' how much work goes into refining the gold.

The dross rhymes with KOS, if I was a Democrat I'd join another party or kick those weirdoes out. BUT I'm a Maximust, in the end they carry me out
together. George is my friend.

To whom it concerns,

Let me see if the figures speak for themselves? If not you will need an interpreter i.e. an accountant.

The Manhattan Project. Remember ?

If there's too much info here please consider Carthage for those lunatics in the east before you go, thanks.

Saudi Arabia Muslim 100%


World Christians 33.03% (of which Roman Catholics 17.33%, Protestants 5.8%, Orthodox 3.42%, Anglicans 1.23%), Muslims 20.12%, Hindus 13.34%, Buddhists 5.89%, Sikhs 0.39%, Jews 0.23%, other religions 12.61%, non-religious 12.03%, atheists 2.36% (2004 est.)


Canada Roman Catholic 42.6%, Protestant 23.3% (including United Church 9.5%, Anglican 6.8%, Baptist 2.4%, Lutheran 2%), other Christian 4.4%, Muslim 1.9%, other and unspecified 11.8%, none 16% (2001 census)

Military expenditures - percent of GDP:
1.1% (2003)


Economic aid - donor:
ODA, $2.6 billion (2004)

Military expenditures - dollar figure:
$9,801.7 million (2003)


Combined Effort ?

$1.047 trillion (2005 est.)


GDP - per capita:
purchasing power parity - $32,800 (2005 est.)


Compare ^ to U.S. Defence spending which is about 3.7% GDP

======================================================

Do you know that "Carthage" is not even in some dictionaries today?

Carthage (kar`thij) An ancient city-state in North Africa near modern Tunis;
destroyed by the Romans in 146 B.C. Ancient Car.tha.go

Carthaginian peace A peace on drastically severe terms: so called in an allusion to the Roman destruction of Carthage. See Punic Wars in table under war.

That was a long war; 1, 2 & 3. (80 years +) In the 3rd Punic War the Romans destroyed and ploughed salt into the fields of the of the Carthaginians, so they could not grow food. This reminds me of other certain dwellers from the desert lands. Do you suppose they are related ?


*** * ***

Tunisia Muslim 98%, Christian 1%, Jewish and other 1%




Following independence from France in 1956, President Habib BOURGUIBA established a strict one-party state. He dominated the country for 31 years, repressing Islamic fundamentalism and establishing rights for women unmatched by any other Arab nation. In recent years, Tunisia has taken a moderate, non-aligned stance in its foreign relations. Domestically, it has sought to defuse rising pressure for a more open political society.

Natural resources:
petroleum, phosphates, iron ore, lead, zinc, salt


PS Not being in the dictionary reminds me of the story "1984". Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. I have a plan that might allow us to not nuke Iran, the Persians deserve better, it involves sniper teams and smart bombs and targeting those who preach hate.

PSII You ever see those "Shut the Fuck up, we'll defend America" logos ?
Well, maybe their hearts are subject to being consumed by hatred, "Loose Lips Sink Ships" is more to my taste.


(For Veronique who was murdered by criminals. Really)

OK, I'll just ignore that last spew of mental illness.

I've always loved News Radio. But my favorite cast member was always Stephen Root- the man is just *funny*. Yes, he was played Milton.
