Tonight on PBS, Ken Burns ' The War '

Thanks for the heads up. It's on @ 8:00 PM locally. Code talkers @ 6:00 PM

Yes, thanks. Just watched "Flags Of Our Fathers" yesterday, and actually learned quite a bit (didn't pay much attention in history class, I guess). Gonna program my DVR right now....

Have you read the book? It was written by the son of one of the flag raisers. Great book!

The soundtrack is very odd...maniacal fiddle music.

I will wait for Netflix - then I can miss all the pleas for $$$; like politicians, blast them.

there were no pledge breaks on the first episode...

Per Andrew M:

In the Phila PA area (WHYY, channel 12), it looks like they're showing all 14 hours back-to-back on Sunday the 30th (1030 to

They had a great Patton quote on the one they broadcast last night:

"Some troops can move. Some troops can fight. But when you can move and fight at the same time, then you and Napoleon are pissing through the same straw."

That's jazz, Pops.

But the sound of WW II was Big Band and Swing, not really that much Jazz. You want to see a hilarious parody of a Ken Burns PBS show, check this out:

Scott, was it you that mentioned a program that organizes music for MP3 players? Still have the site to it?

Nor the second or third episodes.

Want to bet they are saving the "breaks" for the marathon showing? :-)

Per snipped-for-privacy@netscape.com:

In the schedule for the local station (Philadelphia PA - WHYY 12) the elapsed times seem to suggest no breaks.

I hope they do have a "Marathon showing". Tried to set up my DVR on the road via the web & it couldn't find it. Went to their web site & found its a $129 to purchase. Maybe Netflix will have it or I'll wait till it shows up on Ebay. Hate to miss it.

"To take from one, because it is thought that his own industry and that of his fathers has acquired too much, in order to spare others, who, or whose fathers have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, 'the guarantee to every one of a free exercise of his industry, and the fruits acquired by it.'"

Many of you are well enough off that the tax cuts may have helped you. We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good. Hillary Clinton

Usually they wait until December to disrupt the schedules and beg. I guess they figure folks will not care to see the re-runs the networks put on because Sweeps have exhausted their supply of new shows. For me, there is little to worry about anyway. There are only a couple shows on worth a look and Nova has no competition on Tuesday nights.

They have now segued from maniacal fiddle music to ultra-slow piano, but at least some swing and big band music has begun to show up at the edges. ;-)

I'm a Democrat, and I'm starting to take a real dislike to the woman; on tonight's debate she came across as very snide and evasive, giving the impression that she thinks she is somehow owed the nomination simply by the fact she exists. She sure is the right person to be a senator from New York, as she has a NYC sized ego down to a "T". If there's going to be something that derails her campaign pronto, it will be that attitude on her part.

From your lips to G-d's ears.
