Beats me. When other kids were reading fairy tales I was probably reading about an inclined plane or a block and tackle.

That was Donna Reed. Olivia was in Gone With the Wind.
Her sister was Joan Fontaine.




Does anyone else see a resemblance or is it just me?

Speaking of William Tell
I have platinum bullion William Tell coins
Really neat
Love them
My mother bought them as an investment
I inherited them
Platinum prices are down
Probably give them to my nephews eventually

Sorry to break it to you, you don't look anything like them.

: )
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

IF William Tell ever existed (big if right there) he could not have been Swiss at the time since his acts were supposedly the basis for the founding of the Swiss federation as a repudiation of the authority of Austria over the area.

In all probability he never existed and certainly there is no reliable evidence of the apple on the head crossbow shot. Nice story, perhaps true but not likely.
Good draw for tourism dollars, I imagine.

Sort of like Holland putting up that statue of the little boy with his finger in the dike. It was a fairy tale, utterly absurd but so many tourists kept asking about it that it was easier to erect a statue about a fake event.

Based on all the news stories I'm seeing about who is (GWB, Obama, and Pence) and isn't (Trump) invited to John McCain's funeral, I'm guessing his cancer treatment isn't going well and he will be on the list soon.

He is releasing a bunch of thoughts and materials before he goes, including a book.

I read a statement from him today where he regrets picking Palin as a running mate and wishes he picked Leiberman instead.

I know how he feels. From the start I wished the GOP had picked someone different than him.
The President is a fink.

Leiberman, who had been Al Gore's VP candidate?
