No I think you were watching the Frank...hi Niles... No I think you were watching the Frank Capra classic. And<br />the fact they dared compare this piece of shit to that movie is absolutely outrageous. I threw in the video because my first reaction was to laugh. But then when I played it again I thought it was rather sinister. My guess is that it will have a very short run, unless Vic Toews decides to buy a few thousand copies and force prisoners to watch it. It would be cruel and unusual punishment, but then we know those Cons are capable of ANYTHING... ;)Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-66605464020077121752010-11-12T02:40:30.735-05:002010-11-12T02:40:30.735-05:00hi stageleft...I've never seen or heard Lowell...hi stageleft...I've never seen or heard Lowell Green, but from what everybody tells me that's a very good thing. :)<br />And yes, you think they would have the decency to wait until December.

The guy 'melts' at the end of...Wait..what?<br /><br />The guy 'melts' at the end of "It's a Wonderful Life"?<br /><br />Certainly not Mr. Potter, the true villain of the piece, who stole thousands of dollars from the Savings and Loan.<br /><br />And really, the Christians complaining about the 'communism' of what's being done to Christmas are quoting "It's a Wonderful Life?" A hallmark of a socialist community-lending organization raised in direct defiance of the local bank? One that supported poor people? That film pretty much declared if the world was run by strict corporatists like Potter, the place would be homeless beggars and exploitive entertainment for rich people. And that it was only socialist do-gooders like our weary hero that kept things from degenerating into laissez-faire capitalism? And that he was on the side of the angels?<br /><br />Or did I watch another film?Nileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04096047389811381098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-13903373173064948882010-11-11T10:40:55.560-05:002010-11-11T10:40:55.560-05:00It's not only the US, our local (Ottawa) WingN...It's not only the US, our local (Ottawa) WingNut Lowell Green started the war on Christmas talk earlier this week .... ah for the good old days when that sort of tripe didn't happen until after Remembrance Day 'eh?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
