Pilots returning to Vietnam that didn't drop there loads where they were designated were to told to drop them at will in Laos. Those weren't recorded. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25010 | Weeds gets really stupid in season 5. A super handsome mid-forties Mexican drug lord falls head-over-heels in love with the mid-40s American woman with two teenage children. They have a baby together and get married. Stupidest storyline of the series so far. Super handsome Mexican drug lords can have their pick of beautiful 28 year old Mexican women. They do not marry airhead mid forties American housewives. Season 6 is even stupider, I might be done with it at this point If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Never happened, never moved to Mexico. She lived on an estate he owned outside San Diego. That's why when her kid killed the head of the cartel, the FBI was after them because it happened in the US. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/09/50_USD_Series_2004_Note_Front.jpg/800px-50_USD_Series_2004_Note_Front.jpg The 36 years between Lincoln's assassination and McKinley's assassination (April 15, 1865 - September 14, 1901) were the time of our industrial revolution, expansion into the West, and the rise of the USA as a world economic power. But surprisingly the historians take a fairly dim view of the accomplishments of the 8 presidents during this period. A modern view of the anti-racial standing of John Quincy Adams has led to his resurgence in the national memory. Perhaps they can do the same for Grant. 16 Abraham Lincoln Republican 17 Andrew Johnson National Union 18 Ulysses S. Grant Republican (2 full terms) 19 Rutherford B.

Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25010 | Told ya space force was going to be a dud. The critics are crushing it. Anything that has Steve Carrell in it guaranteed to suck. The far-left Daily Beast called the series “shockingly bad.” The show is “largely unfunny, has no sense of perspective or tone, and, outside of a pleasant, somewhat adorable Odd Couple friendship between Carell and Malkovich’s characters, offers little to warrant a recommendation.” The Hollywood Reporter said the show suffers from “lax energy” and a lack of comic consistency. The supporting characters are “treated as thin comic relief in a show that’s already supposed to be a comedy. They feel exactly like what they are: glorified day players who did improv for an afternoon rather than parts of any sort of organic satirical universe.” Consequence of Sound unequivocally panned the series, calling it “a glib comedy about stupidity and wasted resources that itself feels stupid and wasteful.” The show often comes off as a like a one-joke premise stretched out over an entire season. “Haha, Space Force, amirite?” is the thesis. That’s it, that’s the premise. There is no more.” Ultimately, the show is a “waste of space, talent, resources, time.” Rolling Stone concluded that the show is “uncomfortable to watch at best.” The show’s “stylistic touchstone seems to be in the farcical vibe of Dr. Strangelove, but everything just winds up feeling frantic and labored.” At the end, you’re left wondering: “How did so much talent and money go to such waste?” Indiewire called it “a diversionary delight at best,” adding that the show is hamstrung by “under-developed characters” and “first-draft jokes.” Malkovich is the best reason to tune in, with his “carefully paced elocution” and “subtle reactions,” which “work in brilliant comedic contrast to his regular scene partner.” But overall, the show is merely “serviceable.” If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Part 2 of Grant is fantastic His Vicksburg campaign strategy is simply brilliant. So daring, Sherman wanted it on record that he was against the strategy What a General. Lincoln was so lucky to have him. I am eating this series up Watching part 2 again tonight then on to part 3 later tonight Good stuff Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |
