Classic movies as family fare. I'm too old to remember the days before ratings systems or the need for them. I do remember the advent of the "PG-13" nonsense which is really a way of wiggling out of an R.

I'm a huge fan of older movies. They have a look and feel that is largely missing today. The slam cuts and overly loud nature of today's films puts me off even more than content. I love a mindless movie as much as the next guys, just do it right and I'll be happy.

I've not seen a plurality of the movies on the list so I'll have to check them out.

No earmarks without a floor vote. No spending of any kind without a floor vote. All spending committees (intelligence aside) open to the public and recorded and available on the web.

First, fourth, what's the difference?

Black Pope could follow Barack Obama's election, says US archbishop : "The election of Barack Obama as the first African-American US President could pave the way for the election of the first black Pope, according to a leading black American Catholic." Except that we've had three black Popes already. The last one was 1700 years ago. You'd think he know that. I knew we had them in the past. It took me all of .000048 seconds on Google to find that out.
