 Mostly, I like the idea of globalizsation with all of us sharing in each other's cultures. We set up our country emulating your Brit culture and legal system in 1789. Of course, our foundning fathers descended from Britain.
It's a lot easier nowdays with rapid fire modern communication and giving us tremendous opportunities to share. The only time I did not like the idea of globalization wa... |

 I think it all depends on how well the actor plays the part and whether or not I believe in their authenticity. Mostly, they are just better in the genre where they are most experienced. I'm not much of a movie person but one old time actor I do remember going somewhat out of type and taking me with him was Tyrone Power in "Nightmare Alley". What a powerful transformation that was. |

 As an American, I have a hard time accepting Gordon Brown as your Prime Minister. Don't know why but I still always want to say Tony Blair is the Prime Minister of England. I never had a problem before remembering who was the current Brit PM but I do now.
I guess the improtant thing is who the people of the UK want in office but sometimes I wonder if there are Brits who still think in terms... |

I don't think any party can grab the White House or a congressional majority without some sort of coaliton. Regan did it with the so called silent majority and Regan Democrats. Obama did it with the Liberal Democrats and the anti Bush Republicans.
This new and very vocal Republican party is too purist to form any kind of coalition. They are alienating half of their own party on Rhino lists ... |

You're not giving the dates of those executive orders. I think that FEMA under the direction of James Lee Witt in the Clinton administration was a powerful tool for helping Americans caught in disasters. However, when it came under Homeland Security was when it started to go amuck and by the time Bush put the horse show failure (Michael Brown) in charch FEMA became a national disaster. |

 For the first time in over 100 years, the Republicans do not have a local majority in Radnor Township, Pennsylvania. It was an historic election here. Now, the entire western Philadelphia suburban area know as the Main Line is solid Democrat. The first rift came in the Kennedy election when the largely Catholic borough of Narberth went Democrat and totally shocked the area. It wasn't until Clin... |

The guy in New York lost. Sarah's wrong but you are DEFINITELY right about the Phillies. They have only postponed their win. I'm just sorry that Utley didn't get to break that Reggie Jackson record in New York this time after he had that rotten bad call in New York. No matter, he'll do it in 2010. Also, I'd like to add here that the only township in Philadelphia's western suburbs that still had... |

I'm not getting this either. I think when a president or presidential candidate talks about not increasing taxes Americans should know he is referring to FEDERAL TAX only. What could the federal governemnt possibly have to say about taxes that are levied by a state or local municipality? The township neighboring mine just voted a tax increase but that has nothing to do with Obama and nobody thi... |
