Ron Paul's newsletter from 20 years ago is now coming to light more, containing racist, homophobic, and anti-semitic columns: http://2012.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/12/the-racist-newsletters-return-to-haunt-ron-paul.php Some of these comments are amazing....... “Order was only restored in L.A. when it came time for the blacks to pick up their welfare checks.” He's denied writing them, and says he didn't know who did.... in his OWN newsletter bearing his name? I don't believe that for a minute.

I don't think it sounds heartless... it's true. You see it all the time in the music business, if someone dies young before their time in a tragic way (Like JFK did) then they are cannonized and put up on a pedestal. If Janis Joplin had died in 1985 after she hadn't had a hit record in 10 years, she would have just been a news blurb, and not this "legend". When I said what I did about marital infidelity, I didn't mean that it didn't matter at all, I just meant that positions on policy always trump the marital infidelity. Primarily because we on the outside don't know precisely what goes on in the privacy of a marriage, heck, for all we know, Eleanor Roosevelt could have been a lesbian, and her and Franklin could have had an "understanding". If that WERE true, we certainly would never have known it. Now, a man leaving a wife because she is ill or dying, then to me, that's a diffeent story. That's a dealbreaker for me.

FDR a womanizer? But he couldn't even walk. anyway... my voting doesn't hinge on somone's fildelity in their personal life. It's nice if they are good and decent and all.... but the three of us here discussing this are all men, we all know the drill. What a president is going to do or not do is what is paramount to me. There are people in this country, primarily out where I live who have gotten screwed over and over again in the pocketbook because they are dazzled by Republican candidates' stand on Abortion and gay marriage and stuff like that. for me, financial policy trumps all else when deciding what candidate to vote for.

Cain should run WITH Gingrich... could you imagine their campaign theme? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wi9WlZsIok

This is great for a laugh: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqlX88H4_Cg&feature=related

WOW... just WOW. I was amazed at the intricacy and brillliance of this writing. First of all... Tyler is a little weasel, he effing ROLLED Nolan? So many things going on this episode, Lydia hiding the pills in her jaw and getting Conrad to bust her from the house is great. You can tell Victoria is DYING to know where Conrad is hiding her. Considering where Frank's phone was found, I see an arrest in Conrad's future. How underhanded for little Declan to take Victoria's 100,000$ and still see Charlotte. I don't think that boy knows what he's dealing with, he's WAY over his head... but other distractions for Victoria just may save his butt. Nolan was so smooth cleaning out Tyler's throat just as Ashley walked in. Briliantly played, and I loved Ashley dropping her drink. That real Emily is a triflin bitch, I hate her guts. And poor Jack, snookered by that tramp. I'm really curious as to what part the Japanese Man plays is Amanda's past, but the comment about the vipers was GOLD.

I like this song alot... Clodaugh Rogers had many nice pop hits as far as i'm concerned. I think she may have been just as famous for her legs as her music, though! LOL

There was a rumor a while back that they were bringing back Jennifer Foster.... and they were in the process of casting her, but it never happened. My memory is foggy on when this was, it was either at the end of Alden's reign, or in Jack Smith's, I can't remember which. Was there any grain of truth behind this rumor, or do you think it was complete BS?

Holy crap!!! I just looked him up and found out he was THIRTEEN in that clip! I always just thought the actor was so good at his dialogue that it made him appear older than he was.... because you have to admit, the kid is quite small, especially for 13.

Chuckie? In real time, he would be 8 here.... it doesn't look too far off to me:

It's not quite like that, Brian... you see, one company would have to foot the bill for R&D, get FDA approval, and spend those millions prepping the product for market, but they couldn't legally patent it, so therefore, one company would spend all the money getting it to market, and a bunch of other companies can just take it and sell it, too... since it's not patented. that's what's stopping it. If this had been done decades ago, however...Marijuana tablets would now be as common as Pamprin.

Max and Brian... that's why I support banning smoking in all public areas at the very least. With liquor, at least THAT won't travel hrough the air and enter my body... while smoke will. Even now, I still get a whiff when some moron is smoking a cigarette at the stoplight in front of me, it drives me nuts. So I say keep em legal, and tax the hell out of them. Even tax soda pop and junk food (like 5 cents) and let that pay for healthcare. My point about prisons is that I feel prisons should ONLY be for people who are a physical danger to society. White collar criminals, potheads, shoplifters... they should not EVER go to prison. all it does is make us taxpayers pay through the nose to clothe and feed them. Like Martha Stewart, for instance.. she should ahve never went to jail, there should have been a legal machanism to sentence her to a forfeiture of like 80% of her total assets... and that would have been her sentence. so instead of costing the taxpayers money to keep her in jail, the money from her sentence would PAY to house the violent criminals.

Max, Medical marijana is not used to heal any disease, it's used to calm symptoms, primarily nausea. There are medications for nausea, and I can tell you, they don't work for most people. and the side effects can be far worse that anything pot can deliver (nightmares/hallucinations). Cigarettes really have no medical purpose, but banning them? i'd like to...or at the very least put a tax on them of 1$ a pack to make up for the rise in health care costs they cause. But that's being a "nanny state", and I thought conservatives are against that?

I agree.. Marajuana to me, is no different that alcohol... but I certainly don't think Cocaine and other stuff should be legalized by any means. I, however... don't feel that anyone should go to jail for drug use. Fined out the wazoo, yes... but not go to jail. Or if they have no money, they should be forced to perform work for the state.

I can shed some light on the Marajuana thing. the reason that it is not put into a pill form is that since Marajuana is a herb, and not a man made chemical, legally, it cannot be patented. So therefore, there's not enough money in it for the drug companies to want to mess with. What they DID do, was attempt to chemically synthesize the chemical in Marajuana, THC... and they do have that patented... but like most things man made, it doesn't work very well... it's not quite the same. the drug is called Marinol. Many think that making marajuana completely legal, and taxing the hell out of it would be something that would be a boon to struggling state economies. I have to agree.... and I am the most anti-subsatnce person you will ever meet. i've never smoked a cigarette, no drugs, no alcohol, I don't even drink COFFEE.

I think your'e right about this. some writers aren't professional enough to really STUDY an actor and write the dialogue accordingly. I remember Jess said in an interview once that after she started, the dialogue writers slowly adjusted the dialogue to fit her pattern of speech, as it was quite different from Brenda's. But they couldn't just do it right away, because it would be too jolting. Which is basically why she Imitated Brenda as closely as possible her first few months. I think Kahlil comes off as a spolied bitch princess who has basically has everything handed to her. I remember her talking about how she prepared ofr her cancer storyline... she basically asked some memner of her extendfed family a few questions over dinner or some such thing. How ridiculous.

I remember Victoria making a comment in an interview like... "when you work with me, you come prepared"... I'm assuming she was referring to Kahlil, and her not being prepared for her scenes. And although I feel Rowell exaggerates many things, I believe every word of that comment about Kahlil.. you can see it on the screen. And considering she herself made a comment about having to look Goddard in the forehead to keep from laughing during love scenes, i was like, WTF? That told me all I needed to know about her lack of professionalism.

I think theyr'e leaving both of them ambiguous... Nolan said he was a 3 on the Kinsey scale, but he might just have been lying to cover his bases... Tyler? I think he is gay and just an evil Gigolo.

Embarassment of bitches? LOVE IT! LOL You guys said it all... such great acting, such great writing.... just incredible in every way. I'm still reeling from Nolan getting himself some Tyler dick. and he taped it for later ammunition? Genius. the next 2 weeks is gonna crawl!

I can see Brenda not getting along with MTS... i'm sure her marrying Ed Scott garnered favoritism within the show. I'llbe honest, I don't ever remember Brenda and Braeden having scenes together... but i'm sure there were a few, just nothing sticks out in my mind. I was stunned that Melody married Ed Scott at the time, she was so beautiful, and he was a fat old troll... they looked so mis matched, they still do.
