Hey, I have an Idea to make more money for D.U.

How about allowing the receiver of a heart to pay $2.00 to obtain the name of the sender?
I’m thinking that perhaps a young bright young college aged woman might have a secrete crush on me...

After all what could be more appealing to a young woman than a guy on S.S. who sits around all day trolling on right wing sites, reporting back to DU.. Oh I forgot, Senior Wed. at laemmle Theaters, S4.00 before
six,,, That should doi it...

Happy V....everyone..

Saw BackBeat In L.A. Last night...

Story of early Beatles in Hamburg. If your a knowledgable Beatle fan and really know their music, you might find it hard to believe a stage play such as this would be good. The guys were great and it was really cool listening to their early stuff (Mostly U.S. Black R&R stuff; Little Richard, Smokey, Marvellets etc and watch them develop two of their first songs. Love Me Do. and P.S. I love You... Great Staging as well
Reviews not great.... But I think they don’t get how hard this was to pull off.
Better than that Mama Mia, ABBA thing by far..

This should be good!!!

As Rachel Maddow said last night, ten years ago George W. Bush told a whopper in his state of the union address. He said that "Saddam Hussein recently sought quantities of uranium from Africa," - implying, of course, that Iraq was amassing weapons of mass destruction.

On Monday, 18 February 2013, MSNBC is showing a documentary special about how we, the USA, were tricked into starting a full-blown war by our own government.

Maddow reports - perhaps it's hyperbole - that after it, people will be losing their minds

I might be wrong, but don’t a lot of people on cruise ships travel on these ships because of

their fear of flying. I have a fear of flying but I force myself to fly. Based on the events of cruise ships over the past years, flying looks better and better to me...
