The King's Speech

My wife and I just saw The King's Speech.

Excellent!

  2. My oldest daughter agrees, Cliff.

    She wanted Geoff Rush to win Best Supporting Actor.

  3. As is my right as the Blogger, I have deleted a comment. I was OK with the rant up to the anti-Semitic couple of words.  We should be trying to reduce that sort of thing.

    An Air Force colonel I knew, Jewish, incidentally, told me a story about an RAF Officer who went to give a talk at Maxwell Air Force Base, in Montgomery, Alabama.  As speakers who have to fill 45 or 50 minutes do, he was telling jokes—jokes about the Irish.  Soon his slides started to come up wrong.

    My friend, after the talk, went up to the projection booth and talked to the person doing the slides.  He said, "You never miss a beat, what happened?"  "If he will tell jokes about the Irish he will tell jokes about Blacks."  The man in the projection booth was Black.

    So, Mr AMERICA, as you called yourself, please feel free to try again.

    You are not banned, but like Ms Melissa Leo, you have been bleeped.

Please be forthright, but please consider that this is not a barracks.
