Unexpected, but I guess not surprising.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

I just watched "To Have and Have Not" a couple of weeks ago. Man, she was a looker in her day (or anybody's day, for that matter). She at least seemed to have led a long and relatively happy life. RIP.

There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

She was a classy lady. Rest peacefully Lauren.

Personally, I do not understand how a bunch of people demanding a bigger govt can call themselves anarchist.
I meet lots of folks like this, claim to be anarchist but really they're just liberals with pierced genitals. - gunsmith

Only within the last 10 years did I learn that "Baby" was Lauren Bacall. RIP, madame.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Only within the last 10 years did I learn that "Baby" was Lauren Bacall. RIP, madame.

It was her first movie role.  IIRC she was just 20 and had been plucked from the fashion runways.  Wikipedia says that "during screen tests for To Have and Have Not (1944), Bacall was nervous. To minimize her quivering, she pressed her chin against her chest and to face the camera, tilted her eyes upward. This effect became known as "The Look", Bacall's trademark."

stay safe.

If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

A twofer: I'm working from home today with the Rockford Files on TV for background noise.  I just looked up at the screen and there's James Garner driving his gold Firebird with Lauren Bacall in the passenger seat.  Garner was a favorite from when I was a boy and saw Support Your Local Sheriff at the theater.  It's sad to see that generation fading away.
