AMERICAN CAROL -- GO SEE IT!!!
MOVIE REVIEW:
Went to see an American Carol yesterday. Thought it was brilliant and recommend it to anyone who detests Michael Moorer or whatever his name is. I bet he is really pissed, as it correctly portrays him for what he is.
A Slap-stick version of Dicken's Christmas Carol, with the communist propagandist in the roll of Scrooge, complete with Ghosts of Patton (Frazier), Angel of Death (Trace Adkins), and George Washington (Jon Voight). Junior thought it had too much physical comedy, and indeed some of the jokes fell flat--but over-all, I'd give the Movie a B+--and if you have never seen a right wing feature film, here's your chance!

I am an aficionado of TV Western Theme songs.One of my favorites is from "26 Men", a show I watched growing up in Florida in the late 50's. It was about the Arizona Rangers at the turn of the century and the song was very stirring. I watched a couple of episodes this morning. Here are the lyrics:
Saddle up, saddle up, saddle up.
This is the story of 26 Men.
Who rode the Arizona Territory.
High is the glory of 26 Men,
Who's parish helped to fill the Territory.
26 Men who saddled up and then
Rode out to answer duty's call.
26 Men who lived to ride again
And fight for the rights and the liberty of all.
This is the story of 26 Men
Enforcing law within the Territory.
Praise be the Glory of 26 Men
Who rode the Arizona Territory.
Ride on. Ride on. Ride on.
FROM THDE INBOX:
A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was
enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he
was dead.
He remembered dying, and that the dog walking beside him had
been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading
them.
After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one
side of the road. It looked like fine marble. At the top of a
long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the
sunlight.
When he was standing before it he saw a magnificent gate in the
arch that looked like mother-of-pearl, and the street that led
to the gate looked like pure gold. He and the dog walked toward
the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk to one
side.
When he was close enough, he called out, 'Excuse me, where are
we?'
'This is Heaven, sir,' the man answered.
'Wow! Would you happen to have some water?' the man asked.
'Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have some ice water
brought right up.'
The man gestured, and the gate began to open.
'Can my friend,' gesturing toward his dog, 'come in, too?' the
traveler asked.
'I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets.'
The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road
and continued the way he had been going with his dog.
After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill,
he came to a dirt road leading through a farm gate that looked
as if it had never been closed. There was no fence.
As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against
a tree and reading a book.
'Excuse me!' he called to the man. 'Do you have any water?'
'Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there. Come on in.'
'How about my friend here?' the traveler gestured to the dog.
'There should be a bowl by the pump.'
They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an
old-fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it.
The traveler filled the water bowl and took a long drink
himself, then he gave some to the dog.
When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man
who was standing by the tree.
'What do you call this place?' the traveler asked.
'This is Heaven,' he answered.
'Well, that's confusing,' the traveler said. 'The man down the
road said that was Heaven, too.'
'Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates?
Nope. That's hell.'
'Doesn't it make you angry for them to use your name like
that?'
'No, we're just happy that they screen out the folks who would
leave their best friends behind.'
Soooo...
Sometimes, we wonder why friends keep forwarding jokes to us
without writing a word.
Maybe this will explain.
When you are very busy, but still want to keep in touch, guess
what you do? You forward jokes.
When you have nothing to say, but still want to keep contact,
you forward jokes.
When you have something to say, but don't know what, and don't
know how, you forward jokes.
Also to let you know that you are still remembered, you are
still important, you are still loved, you are still cared for,
guess what you get?
A forwarded joke.
So, next time if you get a joke, don't think that you've been
sent just another forwarded joke, but that you've been thought
of today and your friend on the other end of your computer
wanted to send you a smile.
You are welcome at my water bowl any time.
Go Gators! Ride On!

That was the plot of a Twilight Zone episode.
I vaguely remember that. Was Burgess Meridith in it???
No. I don't know who the actor was. He was a tall bearded man. He played a hillbilly, and his dog was a hunting dog.
