Excellent article. His description of her political style is awesome:

"Imagine Joe McCarthy dragging Cabinet members into hearings and demanding that they publicly disavow the works of Groucho Marx, and you get a rough idea of the general style of Bachmannian politics."
>> ^Trancecoach:

One of my favorite contemporary journalists, Matt Taibbi, has done a great job examining Bachmann's candidacy in this month's Rolling Stone.

This is amazing! Now what I'd like to see is the take off, approach, and landing at the John Wayne airport down in Orange County. The landing strip at John Wayne is pretty tight, requiring the pilots there to take off at a steep incline. Landing is probably pretty whack too.

It is possible though, that John Wayne acquired Bakulas method of talking from the Quantum Leap show.

That's interesting...and funny. Wonder if not intentionally.

Who better to immulate I guess.
>> ^deathcow:

Scott Bakula talks like JW... in the 1st episodes of Enterprise he really talked like JW here.

They have some big shoes to fill (John Wayne) but Jeff Bridges & Josh Brolin & Coen Brothers? Sign me up!

That's okay--everyone involved was well and truly punished. In 1990, responding to various rumors that cast and crew were exposed to radioactive debris from nearby nuclear weapons testing, People Magazine discovered that of the 220 people involved in the making of the film (and not counting numerous Native American extras), 91 had developed some form of cancer, which turns out to be well beyond rate one would expect from a similar sample set. Adding injury to injury, Howard Hughes authorized TONS of the radioactive dirt to be shipped to Hollywood for various interior shots. The best line of the People Magazine article? A scientist from the Pentagon's Defense Nuclear Agency, when informed, "Please, God, don't let us have killed John Wayne."

Then again, it might have been all those unfiltered cigarettes over the years...

"You're beautiful in your wrath. Were Wang younger and more nimble at dodging swords, I might give you to him and keep the furs. For they, too, are beautiful."

"I shall keep you, Bortai. I shall keep you, and responding to my passion, your hatred will kindle into love."

"Before that day dawns, Mongol, the vultures will have feasted on your heart!"

*SMACK!*

Yeah, bitch deserved it.

But seriously. John Wayne as a Mongolian?? I'm not sold.

The Youtube poster has disabled commenting and is actively revising the video description in order to issue statements on the dog (and other matters) - here it is as of 4:17 PM EST:

I cut the footage because I ended up filming the dog's owner, whose privacy had to be protected.
The dog eventually left limping—since posting this I have heard that it recovered. THE DOG IS OKAY, I think.
River, my deer-whispering cat, is fine—we'll see if he learned his lesson. (And no, I won't put him on a leash or lock him in the house. A cat is not a dog.)
We did call animal control, there was nothing they could do.
As to why I didn't stop filming to help the dog:
there were other people around, the dog wasn't mine, I selfishly felt lucky to have something extraordinary to film.
If that makes me an idiot... well, that wouldn't exactly be news to anyone in these parts.
And no, we never gave food to a deer, but they are all over the place and we probably need some level of government to address the issue before some kid gets hurt. That's why I filmed and posted this.
(Don't worry, John Wayne, this is in Canada—here we like the government to help with problems individuals can't address alone, it makes us feel like our taxes go somewhere useful. I am not advocating for more government in Texas or Iowa... to each his own, amigo. Incidentally, that's another reason why no guns were involved in this downtown scene.)
After this was picked up by digg.com and others, my email account couldn't handle the influx of comments (I stopped at 214 an hour), which is why I'm trying to answer questions here.
Finally: yes, my being there filming contributed to the problem, stressing the doe. And yes, I feel bad about it.
My excuse: River has been hanging out with deer for a long time... this was a first, because of the newborn, and it went haywire in a hurry.

I don't think a female main character should be forced. Not saying there shouldn't be one but that's not what is going to make me want to go to a movie.

I can't relate to a chick flick because I don't relate to the bad stereotypes of women (shoes, shopping, and getting your hair did) just the same as many men don't relate to the many stereotypes that are shown in some guy flicks (pushups, John Wayne, things that go vrooooooom)

An interesting movie doesn’t center around those stereotypes…so fuck you Sex in the City and Fast and the Furious...

Some old guy thinks he's John Wayne or something... cut off his little finger. He'll tell you if he wears ladies' underwear. Won't tackle you again, either.

>> ^NetRunner:
Don't us yanks usually use regular explosives at the surface to put out the flame? Or does that only work with oil?


Check out an old John Wayne movie called Hellfighters.

Imagine this treatment for John Wayne Bobbit.

We netflixed all three seasons, since we don't have cable either. They are gripping and have great characters. We'd get a disk with three episodes and swear we'd only watch one, but we'd be up all night watching them all.

I think John Wayne is exemplar of the previous administration. All brass and no balls. Inspired hundreds of thousands to go to their deaths, but never had the courage to go himself. A real cowboyard.

LOVE ^that pic by the way. Timmy was so little!

In reply to this comment by Issykitty:
I don't have a tv... but if I did I am sure I would be a fan as I am familiar with the show from hearing about it. A friend of mine got me into all of the classic spaghetti westerns. Can't say I care for John Wayne so much. Was that wrong to say? Orange County's Airport here is "John Wayne International." Shame on me!
This is something I need to Netflix soon.

In reply to this comment by schmawy:
Thanks for busting David Milch out of the sherrifs jail Miss Iss. I have a friend who loves westerns but won't watch Deadwood because of the language. I pointed out to him that dozens of people are killed in most two hour western, yet only about four people die in all three seasons. Then again he thinks John Wayne was an actual war hero, so there's really no helping him. Are you a fan of the series?
