Actually, after digging a little deeper, here's what Wikipedia had to say:

Michael Jackson guest stars as Leon Kompowsky's speaking voice, while his singing is provided by Kipp Lennon. Jackson actually did record versions of the songs, and while there have been rumors that those tracks were the ones used in the final episode, Simpsons music editor Chris Ledesma says the Lennon versions were used.

Rumored real Michael version is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLNlyk8aIcU

"Neal Leon Cassady is perhaps best known for being characterized as Dean Moriarty in Jack Kerouac's novel On the Road." - Wikipedia.

If you haven't read On The Road yet, read it. It's a cultural "Must". It categorized a way of living that we all want to taste but (at the same time), we wanted to be stable, so we just read the book instead. So many of today's cultural references came from this book and the characters surrounding it!

CORRECTION:
mr pennypacker is correct using the term "neo"lib.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_liberalism
meaning "new"..i posted classical which is libertarian.
i was thinking of "neo-liberalism" as in the first incarnation of the "neo-conservative" started by dr leon strauss in 1944.
my bad.

oh leon

'A Fistful of Dollars' was part of a Clint Eastwood/Sergio Leone trilogy, along with 'The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly' and 'For a Few Dollars More'.

No, no it wasn't,

The good, the bad and the ugly is a seperate film,

The trilogy you're looking for is, A fistful of dollars, for a few dollars more and the lesser known, fistful of dynamite (duck you sucka).

the school of leon strauss may still have its adherents,
even though they have been relegated to obscurity for their epic FAIL.
keep the faith bud,
maybe in 50 years people will forget how utterly awful neo-liberalism/neo-conservative actually was.

From al Arabiya, after Abu Ghraib:

"It's important for people to understand that in a democracy, there will be a full investigation. In other words, we want to know the truth. In our country, when there's an allegation of abuse ... there will be a full investigation, and justice will be delivered. ... It's very important for people and your listeners to understand that in our country, when an issue is brought to our attention on this magnitude, we act. And we act in a way in which leaders are willing to discuss it with the media. ... In other words, people want to know the truth. That stands in contrast to dictatorships. A dictator wouldn't be answering questions about this. A dictator wouldn't be saying that the system will be investigated and the world will see the results of the investigation." - Bush Al Arabiya interview.

"But we are not asked to judge the President's character flaws. We are asked to judge whether the President, who swore an oath to faithfully execute his office, deliberately subverted--for whatever purpose--the rule of law," - John McCain arguing for the impeachment of Bill Clinton for perjury in a civil suit, February 1999.

"Anyone who knows what waterboarding is could not be unsure. It is a horrible torture technique used by Pol Pot," - John McCain, October 2007.

"We've got to move on," - John McCain, April 26, 2009, reacting to incontrovertible proof that George W. Bush ordered the waterboarding of a prisoner 183 times, as well as broader treatment that the Red Cross has called "unequivocally torture."

As I said in China this spring, there is no place for abuse in what must be considered the family of man. There is no place for torture and arbitrary detention. There is no place for forced confessions. There is no place for intolerance of dissent. While we walked through the Rotunda. I explained to President Jiang how the roots of American rule of law go back more than 700 years, to the signing of the Magna Carta. The foundation of American values, therefore, is not a passing priority or a temporary trend. - Newt Gengrich http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-28404541.html

John Lopresti noted that it might be helpful to have a timeline of all the torture documents released in the last several weeks. And you know I can't resist requests for timelines. So here goes:

I'll say it again... Natalie Portman is successful because she is pretty, not because she is talented.

Oh I don't know, she is a Harvard grad. "Leon" was excellent (although 15 years old now) and so was "Closer." If you're talking about her role as Padme, I'd blame that on George Lucas moreso than anyone else. He couldn't elicit a decent acting job from any of his actors in the prequels. He has no business directing anymore.

I will concede she did a piss poor job in "V for Vendetta."
