    "I would give the greatest sunset in the world for one sight of New York's skyline. The sky over New York and the will of man made visible. I feel that if a war came to threaten this, I would like to throw myself into space, over the city, and protect these buildings with my body."
    Ayn Rand

An All Powerful Open Thread

I wish I could run the whole flick here, It's on TMC, right now. Priceless. If you don't own it. Buy it. Chaplin.  Brilliant baby. The Great Dictator, conceived in the late thirties but not released until 1940. Hollywood needs a Chaplin now.

UPDATE: The good, the bad and the fugly.

I have the Turner Classic Movie station and a dvd burner (I use it to burn home videos and stuff off the tv).

Chaplain was funny in this and he also has a good voice. He refused to talk in movies until this film for artistic reasons. Chaplain knew the Tramp could never speak. The Great Dictator does feature Chaplain as Hitler and a semi Tramp character however.

Chaplain's role as Hitler was outstanding. He portrayed the comedic role behind dictatorships as a whole. I mean, let's face it, look at Hitler, and even today's dictators like Mamoodles of Iran and Kim Jung il.

Ayn Rand at 100: "Yours is the Glory"

  • Aynrandstamp_1


  • Speaking to the unnamed, unchampioned, beating heart of her new land, Ayn was to say: 'Yours is the glory.'"
    A man whose ability and independence leads others to reject him, but who perseveres nevertheless to achieve his values. Man as an individual, as a creator. What's the most depraved type of human being? Not a sadist or a murderer or a sex maniac or a dictator; "The man without a purpose." Yet most people seem to go through their lives without a clearly defined purpose.

Edna, my Edna

  • Millay

    It's not true that life is one damn thing after another; it is one damn thing over and over.
    Edna St. Vincent Millay

    Soar, eat ether, see what has never been seen; depart, be lost, but climb.
    Edna St. Vincent Millay

    My candle burns at both ends It will not last the night; But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends - It gives a lovely light.
    Edna St. Vincent Millay, "A Few Figs from Thistles", 1920

    Please give me some good advice in your next letter. I promise not to follow it.
    Edna St. Vincent Millay, Letters, 1952

    Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world, which I find myself constantly walking around in the daytime, and falling into at night. I miss you like hell.
    Edna St. Vincent Millay, Letters, 1952

    God, I can push the grass apart and lay my finger on Thy heart. Edna

    I am glad that I paid so little attention to good advice; had I abided by it I might have been saved from some of my most valuable mistakes.

    I know I am but summer to your heart, and not the full four seasons of the year

    If I love you Wednesday, What is that to you? I do not love you Thursday - so much is true.

    Not truth, but faith, it is that keeps the world alive.

    Set the foot down with distrust on the crust of the world - it is thin.

    The longest absence is less perilous to love than the terrible trials of incessant proximity.

    The soul can split the sky in two and let the face of God shine through.

    What the customer demands is last year's model, cheaper. To find out what the customer needs you have to understand what the customer is doing as well as he understands it. Then you build what he needs and you educate him to the fact that he needs it.

The Fifth Column

  • Chappaquiddick
  • Edward Kennedy

    • "Senator Kennedy killed that girl the same as if he put a gun to her head and pulled the trigger" - George Killen ~ State Police Detective-Lieutenant

  • Kkk05
    Senator Robert Byrd

    This ex-Klansman wasn't just a passive member of the nation's most notorious hate group. He wrote: "The Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia" and "in every state in the Union." The ex-Klansman later filibustered the landmark 1964 Civil Rights Act - He also opposed the nominations of the Supreme Court's two black justices, liberal Thurgood Marshall and conservative Clarence Thomas. In fact, the ex-Klansman had the gall to accuse Justice Thomas of "injecting racism" into the Senate hearings. The ex-Klansman vowed never to fight "with a Negro by my side. Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds."

    Senator John Kerry

    The North Vietnamese general in charge of the military campaign that finally drove the U.S. out of South Vietnam credited a group led by John Kerry with helping him achieve victory. Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap wrote that if it weren't for organizations like Kerry's Vietnam Veterans Against the War, Hanoi would have surrendered to the U.S.
