If you like "The Artist", be sure to check out two other French films, "OSS 117: Lost in Rio" and "OSS 117, Cairo, Nest of Spies". Both featuring the same star, Jean Dujardin, and both directed by the same director. They're spoofs on the James Bond 007 genre. Avail on Netflix.

I used to get a bit upset every time I heard the phrase misused, and even posted a correction or two, but I've given up. It seems like the phrase has no official been redefined to mean "that raises the question." This isn't the first time that a major news reader has used the phrase in this context, and I've even seem it in print too many times to note. So I have given up.

I suppose it's not all that bad, language is a living thing, meanings and definitions change all the time.

14 years ago @ Breitbart.com - Cain wanted scrutiny _... · 1 reply · +2 points

I enjoy hearing Mr. Cain speak and I'm looking forward to reviewing expanded details on his positions. Yes, he has very little experience in politics, but he has plenty of real world experience, certainly more than the other contenders with the possible exception of Romney. However unlike Romney Cain was not born with a silver spoon hanging out of his mouth.

It' clear the GOP powers that be are not behind him, but if the people want him bad enough, he'll get the nomination.

I would LOVE to see Cain go toe to toe with Obama - he would wipe the floor with BHO - and then wipe the lobby, the sidewalk, the street, and every square inch leading to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Don't get me wrong, we are very early in the race, if it comes to the point where Cain looks like he can't deliver, I'll gladly back any of the other GOP candidates, but right now, today, Cain does look like he could do the job and deliver the win.

Campaigns are dynamic, chaotic affairs. Personalities clash, pressures wear people down, egos get bruised, things change.

This is very early in the Cain campaign, if this happens a year from now it might be significant. But right now we have no solid idea of what caused this split, but at this point whatever it was probably isn't a cause for concern.

14 years ago @ Big Hollywood - Had these incidents actually occurred does any one believe for a second that MM would not have exploited them to the max? He \would have been jumping up and down (well, he would have been jiggling up and down) grabbing every second of airtime available to draw attention to himself and his evil enemies! He's a publicity hound of the highest order - he probably prays for attacks like these to keep his mug on TV, papers and the web!

Clearly, despite his pleas, attack never happen - so instead he pretends that they're real. Just like he pretends the lies in his "documentaries" are real.

There's no doubt that many passengers on United 93 were brave heroes in every sense of the word. But we're not hearing the full story as revealed on the flight recorder cockpit audio records. The flight deck crew played a critical role in the event of that day. Hopefully someday they'll get the proper recognition due them also.

Because it's about context.

Chris Rock can say a lot of things about black culture, and it's funny, and he gets away with it, because he's Chris Rock and Black.

Don Rickles can insult almost anything and anyone because he's Don Rickles - and that's his thing.

Had someone else made the same remarks, odds are that it would have been motivated by dislike for Ms.Palin and out of place in this setting.

Do you really not get that?

It's not some "scam" - it's capitalism.

And one of the beauties of the system is that if you don't feel like being "scammed" you can cancel Netflix, get rid of your car, live off Top Ramen, wear Goodwill clothing, not buy toothpaste, never vacation, eliminate anything fun, and nobody is going to stop or punish you for those decisions.

As for the conspiracy of less quality on broadcast TV.. I think we're in a golden age of quality TV, Breaking Bad, Empire Boardwalk - plenty of good stuff out there.
