I notice you didn't identify the school or district. After that experience, if you did mention the location, you'd be overwhelmed with people trying to move there. It would be like the California Gold Rush.

Sounds like a good place. Hope it stays that way.

I put my Statler and Waldorf reply to dscott here by mistake before, but I do want to reply to your comment too.

I am a Catholic. We agree that not only the "superheroes" as you call them are saints. Everyone currently residing in Paradise with God is a saint. That includes my parents, grandparents, etc. That's why we have "All Saints' Day"....to celebrate ALL the saints, not just the the famous ones.

That's why the Irish refer to "My sainted mother." :-)

When did the quest for a simple yes or no answer to a simple question become a "gotcha" game, as H.R. Clinton charged last night?  Russert was not belligerent nor was he trying to "get her"; he was just trying to understand her position on a relatively straight forward matter. 

This was my favorite exerpt from the news today.  It's from Nedra Pickler of the AP:

"Gone was the Clinton who laughed off their answers and joked about how she's lucky to be getting so much attention from all these men at her age. Clinton clearly had decided she must defend herself from rivals who are right on her heels in the leadoff voting state of Iowa and who pose a real threat to her winning the Democratic nomination.

Still, she continued her strategy of avoiding direct answers to questions: She wouldn't say how she would address Social Security; she declined to pledge whether she would stop Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, or say whether she supports giving driver's licenses to illegal immigrants.

     Instead she tried to tried to turn every issue into an argument against President Bush. She said Bush's name 25 times, more than all six of her rivals combined."

She won't answer any questions with a direct answer and she's still running against GWB.  Has anyone told her about "term limits"?

I saw a little bit of proof last night of what I've been saying all along: Hillary Clinton works in a protected bubble that the (pun alert) slightest prick will pop. Challenge her for real, not just during these velvet-gloved masquerades, and she'll fold like a tent. Can't wait to get her matched up against a real opponent. All she has to do is reveal that snarl, and watch the Frank Luntz/focus group popularity lines drop to the floor.

Nevermind, it doesn't matter! LOL

Man, I miss The Muppet Show!

On that note, the big winners of our Halloween Costume Party came as Beaker and Bunsen Honeydew. 

You can't go wrong with Muppet Show-themed costumes.

YES-BUT:)

I missed that...does anyone have a video link? I would love to see Ann chew Alan up and spit him out again.

It was another in a growing list of dumb, idiotic "interviews" from Colmes.

He NEVER tries to elicit any useful information from conservative guests as he's too busy looking at his Media Matters' talking points, on something they said 20 years ago, and taken out of context.

I bet Ann would have had NO problem had he asked her in to discusss her comments about religion. But it was clearly a segment about the Presidential campaign.

I think he wanted to provoke her to walk out. I can't think of any other reason for his silly questions and then calling her anti-semite.

Based on her belief that she actually believes in her Christianity where the New Testament compeleted the Old Testament., and NOT supplanted it.

Oh, Robert Goulet...what a great singer. I will never forget seeing him in "Man of La Mancha" a the Ordway in St. Paul. The venue was small, semi-circular; we had great seats, and the whole stage was very "up close." His blue eyes were mesmerizing.....

Uncle Buck was so good. The two little kids were hilarious, and the eldest daughter who went on to Mr. Holland's Opus and that horrible show Yes, Dear.

 Excellent job Roger.  Sometimes I just sit around and think about John Candy and cry laughing.  Johnny Larue, Mayor Tommy Shanks, Steve Roman, Dr. Tongue, etc.etc. I just loved his sense of humor.  I don't know if you ever saw "Going Berserk" but John Candy and Eugene Levy are in it.  They do a Kung Fu movie spoof that is worth watching the movie for.  He also is trying to impress his girlfriend's dad, and he asks John Candy about investing.  Candy's character replies, Yeah I invest in Smith and Barney and Opie, and totally doesn't know what he is talking about and it is great.

I also like "Who's Harry Crumb?" too.  "Armed and Dangerous" with Candy and Eugene Levy makes me laugh too. 

What an awesome guy he was.  He and Howard McNear aka Floyd from "Andy Griffith" show make me cry laughing.  I can watch the same episodes of "SCTV" and "Andy Griffith" in black and white and cry laughing as if it's the first time I ever watched them.

Heaven has a lot of laughter with those 2.  May have to break out the SCTV Christmas episode where Larue wanted his crane shot for Christmas.
