The French and the British could have defanged the Nazi threat had they reacted with force before the invasion of Poland: (a) when Hitler had sent troops into the Rhineland in contravention of the Treaty of Versailles, or (b) when Hitler sent troops to occupy the rest of Czechoslovakia after they had been given the Sudetenland. When the bulk of German troops were committed to war in Poland in September, 1939, the French and the British could have invaded Germany from the west, throwing a big freakin' monkey wrench into the gears of the German war machine. Instead, both France and Britain "sat on their hands" throughout the entire German operation against Poland even though both countries had declared war against Germany. Also, there was a very strong sentiment against "foreign intervention" in Europe among the US population (and no, not just among Republicans, as the "progressive" revisionist historians would have people believe).

California has turned into what Mark Steyn claims Britain has become: a place where the state polices everyone but the actual criminals.

I've recently discovered some amazing foreign-language movies at my local public library: "Katyn", a Polish-language film about the massacre of Polish armed forces officers by the Soviets in WWII, "Burnt by the Sun", a Russian-language film about a Red Army officer and veteran of the Russian civil war caught up in the Soviet purge in the '30's, and "Brother", a Russian-language film about a Red Army veteran who becomes involved with organized crime in 1990's St. Petersburg. My point is that the really original, groundbreaking cinema is not being made in Hollywood or even by those Sundance Festival poseurs. I'll probably have to wait for a DVD of this film to get to my local public library because I'll guess that it's not going to see much distribution in the US outside the "art house" cinema circuit (maybe it'll make it to some theater in or near the Polish neighborhoods on the north and northwest sides of Chicago).

If you were trying to be funny, you failed. You came off as just annoying and, dare I say it, insensitive.

...plus Ms. Barrymore is "getting up there" - she's gotta be around 40 or 45 in "skank years".

He's near the end of his "shelf life".

"For some reason, she decided to go to her boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend Quinn for advice. Because, of course, the best place to go for relationship advice is your current boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend..." especially when that ex-girlfriend attempted to trick your dumb-as-a-bag-of-hammers boyfriend into marrying her by claiming that her baby, fathered by his fellow teammate on the football team, was his. It's puerile nonsense like this that turned me off to "Glee" after the first season.

I don't think she's any smarter or sexier than any of the other actresses working Hollywood right now. From the looks of it, her career doesn't seem to be going anywhere, either. Hell, Betty White at 90 is doing better than she is, career-wise. It's too bad that "Love Boat", "Fantasy Island", and "Hollywood Squares" aren't on anymore; at least, Ms. Longoria would still have some hope of finding more work on the "small screen".

I don't begrudge any of those Hollywood stars for their money - at least they didn't make it from our taxes. I can and do disagree about how they choose to spend that money; in this case, to fund the re-election campaign of a failed idealogue. Senora Longoria, I hope that you have plenty of that "Desperate Housewives" cash left over because it's gonna suck living out your retirement years in some little bungalow or townhome in Tarzana (epecially when almost half of your residuals will be going to pay for ObamaCare).
