Lionel Barrymore: A Crusty Curmugdeon...But Only On-Screen!MovieFanFare
Lionel Barrymore: A Crusty Curmugdeon...But Only On-Screen!MovieFanFare Terrific I've seen almost everything he has appeared in. I think they deserve the label royalty of the American theater and film industry. I can't think of actors who had their range and ability to deliver performances that were consistently good and emotionally compelling no matter what they were in.

History's Magic Mirror: America’s Economic Crisis and the Weimar Republic of Pre-Nazi Germany
History's Magic Mirror: America’s Economic Crisis and the Weimar Republic of Pre-Nazi Germany
We have a lot to be afraid of depending on next weeks outcome. All the voter manipulation going on with the GOP and the hurricane. Will we be able to get through this election cycle believing that our elections are not being screwed up by immoral operatives? We'll see about voter fraud Fla. style next week. I hope the democrats will not be so spineless this time around if irregularities by GOP are found and won't back down when challenged.

Schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott Says PS 195 5th Grader Kameron Slade Will Be Allowed To Deliver Speech Supporting Same-Sex Marriage « CBS New York
Schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott Says PS 195 5th Grader Kameron Slade Will Be Allowed To Deliver Speech Supporting Same-Sex Marriage « CBS New York Learning about discrimination and hate at school! What's wrong with this picture. Fire the principal. This individual does not belong in an educational capacity. Teaching hate politics and censorship is not an education mandate unless you are a KKK or GOP hate monger. Scapegoating a population is not the American way despite the fascists in our society who like the Nazis of the 1930s would like to make it so. It could happen here if we are not alert.

Recently on the upper floors of a Manhattan based gay center--the distinction Woman's room disappeared but MEN's rooms still are labeled as such. What's wrong with this picture!!!
