THE KNIGHT SHIFT Exclusive: Christopher Lee's VERY FIRST Horror Picture Appearance!

And it was way, WAY before he played this guy. Or before he appeared as Lord Summerisle in The Wicker Man, either. Or as Fu Manchu or Scaramanga or the Mummy... and before The Lord of the Rings was anything but scribblings in Tolkien's notebook. Five years before George Lucas was born, his future Count Dooku made an appearance in one of the most unique - and gruesome - photographic...

Iraqi militants are nothing: thank God he wasn't captured by Destro or Dr. Colossus

Geez, I'm kicking myself hard about this. When this picture first broke on the 'net I looked at it and the first thought was "That doesn't look like a real person... it looks more like a doll." But that got dismissed fast. It seemed too silly, only 'cuz I knew that these terrorists, as evil as they are, surely couldn't be THAT dumb, right?Right?!?From My Way News:Web Site...

Back to the Tyndale House of "The Rising" Son

The Left Behind books have become a literary trainwreck for me: I know I shouldn't look because it's going to be awful, but since I've read all of them over the past six years anyway I feel compelled to turn and stare, just in case I've "missed" something that will make so much of the previous time in the series worth it. Book #8, The Mark was the last time there was a thrill...

It's been two days since finishing Halo 2...

Halo, the original, I bought at the Target down the street just before they closed for Christmas Eve. "Weird" Ed and me located an Xbox for Lisa (and prolly the LAST Xbox on sale to be found in the state of North Carolina before Christmas) and since Ed, and Josh, and Kyle, and everybody else on Earth that's got an Xbox has been raving about how good it was, I got Halo just to see what the hulabaloo was about. We were in Georgia a day or so later...

Some thoughts on today's Iraq elections

Most places reporting that there's a 72-74% turnout of voters. If only we could see that kind of interest in our own elections here in America.Am hearing that there's some dispute about the figures though: is that a percentage of ALL eligible Iraqis, or a percentage of those Iraqis that registered to vote? If it's the latter, some are suggesting it's only 7-10% of the eligible population that registered at all.There's been a massive turnout at...

This is too much like the "protection" the Soviets used to extend visitors

You know why I post stuff like this?It's 'cuz when things get REALLY bad, I'll never have the guilt of knowing that I didn't do anything to stop it on my conscience. And however bad things might get, I can either live a long and happy life or die a slow and painful death knowing that I didn't capitulate and that I tried my damndest to get others to say "no" just one more time than these bastitches said "yes".More proof that we're becoming a fascist...

We were told there would be no draft. So why are these people calling for a draft?

"Letter to Congress on Increasing U.S. Ground Forces", written to several members of Congress by Project for the New American Century.Ooh-boy..."The United States military is too small for the responsibilities we are asking it to assume.""The United States will not and should not become less engaged in the world in the years to come.""...the defense and promotion of freedom in the post-9/11 world require a larger military force than we have today.""So...

Oh great, Bush can protect Iraq's borders with OUR Border Patrol agents...

...but when it comes to our own borders...Read. Just read, 'kay?The man's a traitor. Plain and simple. Too bad he's protected by a Republican majority in the House and Senate... but that says a lot about a man's character that he needs that kind of seeming immunity from whatever evil he thinks he can get away with.Anyone who posts a comment defending this in the slightest bit, or alludes that Bush is still a great President despite his VIOLATING...

Finally saw the new Battlestar Galactica last night

Something I can't understand: if these are supposed to be humans from WAY out there in another part of the galaxy, who are descended from humans who colonized twelve worlds after long ago coming from Kobol, the original home planet of humanity, and who now faced with extinction their only hope is to find a mythical thirteenth colony: the planet that their legends call "Earth"...HOW the heck are these humans, however much they ARE identical to us,...

Rush has a moment of reality (maybe the drugs are wearing off)

So now Rush Limbaugh is condemning Bush and others for wanting amnesty for illegals and ignoring security at the borders. Says that this issue threatens to destroy the Republican party. When all this time he's been shilling for Bush and practically promising that life as we know it would come to a halt if we didn't re-elect El Jorge and go along with him.But now that he is in a second term, Rush is finally comfortable enough to see and talk about...

California elementary students forced to wear microchip ID by power-mad principal (kids should do what Gandhi did and burn 'em)

It ain't, folks.From KFWB News 980 in Los Angeles comes this:School Officials Make ID Badges Mandatory for Elementary StudentsSUTTER, Calif.

"WAR!" Huh-yeah, What is it good for?

Something about seeing "WAR!" like that, sorta just tacked-on to the REAL crawl, makes me giggle inside. Like for all the horrific darkness that George Lucas has promised in this movie, the kind of stuff that will send the toughest geek fanboy running home crying for Momma, for all the GRUESOMENESS (and it'll be gruesome, believe you me... I've seen stuff the public ain't yet), Star Wars Episode 3 will be like the others and still not take itself...

He's not sorry for wasting dozens of lives in Iraq, yet Bush regrets getting caught in op-ed parlor trick on American people

After being discovered paying ANOTHER op-ed commentator to hawk his schemes, President Bush has ordered his staff to no longer hire columnists.But if he's supposed to be so moral and ethical, why did he start doing it to begin with?Given how dishonest a practice this is, what kind of public official even conceives of such a thing? Why would the President of the United States do this?Why would Bush spend our money to try to trick us like this?With...
