Flagstaff Ablaze

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Are you kidding me? Some jerk (from California)dumps burning coals from his campsite onto a wooded area and then poof?
Geez...

50th Anniversary: "The Magnificent Seven"

Posted By Rod Kaufman

AMC(American Movie Classics) will air the 1960 western classic, "The Magnificent Seven", complete and uncut on Saturday, June 26.
What a great western and one of my favorites along with John Wayne's "The Shootist" (one of my favorite John Wayne movies along with "In Harm's Way").
I think only one of the original seven is still alive, actor Robert Vaughn.
And who can forget that great musical score from the movie, by Elmer Bernstein.

Toyota and Driver Error

Posted By Rod Kaufman

That about sums it up for me. I've seen more than enough of driver error than you can shake a stick at. You want diver error? Come to California, and you'll see more driver error in one day than in a month elsewhere and it ain't getting any better...

Dancing with Bristol

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Well, I guess I don't share your sentiments about Bristol. You should have caught a spoof on her dancing on Lopez Tonight a couple of days ago. It was hilarious!

Update on the Buffalo Beheader

Posted By Rod Kaufman

It appears the infidels are at it again, this time they've allegedly waterboarded brother Muzzamil S Hassan. For those of you who may be unaware of Hassan's plight, he's the former owner of a TV station in Buffalo NY who had a serious falling out with his wife. In fact, during their last argument, her fairy tale marriage ended when she lost her head in the finale. For a brief summary, see the replay unfold on youtube as told by, "Islamic Rage Boy":

The update can be found here:

It seems Hassan is reportedly the victim here since at least one psychiatrist will state he was the object of spousal abuse. Now, even the pre-decapitation photos reveal brother Hassan appears to have towered over his ex so it seems unlikely he was the victim of any direct physical trauma but I guess we will never know just how feisty she really was.
I do hope he remains incarcerated as it would appears he's a serious flight risk...

Lee,
They're probably a couple of rescues. PETA probably got to them before Palin...
