Curtis, so you will find the following to be of interest. THE INDIAN PICTURE OPERA, a new film on the works of Curtis is a re-creation of a 1911 Curtis Slide show and lecture. The dvd can be searched out on CustomFlix.com . This production goes way beyond the images themselves. It's a virtual vignette on E.S.Curtis's observations from a century ago. The film probes the foundations of native American deitys, beiliefs, and the quest for food. I'm sure you will enjoy! You seem to be a fan of Edward S.

Actually was, because I believe he is now a muckety muck at the transportation dept. OK, sorry for the delay, Yes, the Fort Wayne state legislator to whom I refer above is Bob Alderford.

Yes! the show cracks me up, although I haven't seen it in awhile. Money never seems to be an issue at all - and leaving aside the show-biz part of the show - the women clearly seem to be very sharp operators (the one seems to own? - or at least manage an insurance brokerage) Another show that I like is Bridezilla. Certainly, they have their over-the-top hellcats on there (necessary to give the show its cachet) - but usually at least a few of the women seem genuinely to be simply trying to orchestrate their "big day" successfully - and they have a clear idea of what they want and they are assertive in pursuit of their goals......which strikes me as somewhat hot!

That show amazes even those of us who live here. I don't live behind the Orange curtain, actually, but I have passed through those parts. What I want to know is: how so such stupid people become so rich? I know it's an age old question, and I'm not looking to become a gazillionaire, really, I just want to know who pays these people so much money?

I've read enough articles about afrementioned "truthiness" to make me a skeptical browser. But most of the entries I've seen on subjects I am familiar with are accurate. Interesting that some of report that Carnegie's name is on your local library after all. Maybe after his death the locals thought it was a good idea and made sure it was added. Connie, leave it to you to straighten us out on all things library, Carnegie. Thanks for the tip on the McPherson book. Our family always pronounced car-NAYG-ee. We even had a family physician in Pittsburgh with the Carnegie name, so we could practice :). Brian, I hear ya about Wikipedia.

All those people who count it among their favorites must have internalized Tony Montana's taste in personal expression and, of course, interior decorating. “My Super Sweet 16″ finally explains the enduring popularity of “Scarface.” All those people who count it among their favorites must have internalized Tony Montana’s taste in personal expression and, of course, interior decorating.

I haven't watched more than 6 consecutive seconds of MTV (and then - only if there happens to be a bikini scene) since about 1982! But - I HAVE watched the "reality" show about the moms in Beverly Hills (or wherever) - so I get your drift! Anyway - rich folks have always been gaudy. Is a sweet-16 extravaganza different from a debutante ball? You must have seen an episode of that MTV show about sweet sixteen parties, eh?
