If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

I didn't know that Browning was one of two actors to play the creature in the movie -- Browning wore the suit for the swimming scenes, and Ben Chapman played the creature out of water.

I've not seen this movie in years... I wonder if it's streaming anywhere...
