October 1st: Alexander's victory at Gaugemala

Seeing Hooker was never going to take the offensive, Lee pulled two more Divisions, those of South Carolinian RH Anderson and Georgian Lafayette McLaws from in front of Hooker and led them himself against Sedgwick in conjunction with Jubal Early. It was to be a day of frustration for Lee, as he could not prod McLaws forward and get the 3 division attack going. Sedgwick withdrew over Banks’ Ford when he lost Marye’s Heights to Early.(Early had a great battle.)
This was the cue for Hooker to call the campaign over and he withdrew over US Ford on the 5th. Casualties were high for the four day battle: 13000 for Lee and 17000 for Hooker. Lee’s proportion was too high, considering he only had 60000 to start with.
Lee and the South had bettered an army twice the size of their own and given Virginia breathing space. Lee’s next move, as it had been in 62, after a victory, was to move North.
Gettysburg awaited.
Jackson would never again be Lee’s “right arm”’ as he passed away on the 10th from complications from his amputation.
His last words were: let us cross over the river and rest in the shade of the trees.

Wait wait wait…

St Edmund?

I think you’ve mistaken him for Boramir from Lord of the Rings…

Chick-Fl-A also sells Ice Cream, Milkshakes, Salads, Combo Meals,etc. I have ate at McDonald’s before and I only like the McFlurries and Fries. Wendy’s is passable also but that may change to a dislike because of their new fries. Burger King is also passable, but CFA is my first choice. By the way, I am a regular at CFA.

I was hoping someone would open a thread about this.  Here’s a piece I wrote while exchanging e-mails with a friend on Lost in Translation.  Hope it doesn’t give anything away.

Hmm…I am wondering if my comments right now are influenced by seeing Munich over the weekend.  I felt Spielberg was reaching for a particular audience, specifically the hard conservative Israelis.  While the movie isn’t sympathetic to the Palestinians, it’s not unsympathetic to them either.  But really, it creates very thin Palestinian characters without really exploring what it is they are doing.  I believe Spielberg chose this route because he wanted to appeal to those conservatives, who really don’t give a damn what the Palestinians feel or want or need.  Rather, the movie showed everything a right-wing Israeli would see:  murders, terror, etc.  It also expressed the rage, anger, and frustration of the conservatives as well.  But then it showed what the logical extension of all those feelings, what those ideas would lead to, and not on a social level, but a deeply personal one, especially how loving Israel can make you less Jewish.

As such, I don’t think this is an Israel-Palestine movie.  It’s something that has been done rarely:  an Israel-Israel movie.  It’s an attempt in my mind to bridge the gap between the deep divisions in Israeli society.  Or maybe not bridge, but convince the other side.  Hence, its appeal and its focus are tightly played on the self-destructive nature of revenge, typical in some ways of many revenge movies recently (with the notable exception of Quentin Tarrantino), but also elevating that sensibility and relating it to a concrete social dilemma.

I know this article is more than a month old… and all Americans must’ve all heard this, judging from the fact that all Americans like to eat food and lots of it. :P But I ask you this, what’s it doing in a Conservative News Forum? I smell conspiracy! :o

My favorite parts:

Yeah sure, Japan subsidized weiner eaters and high foriegn weiner eater tarriffs by the Japanese are the only reason why we can’t catch a break in the weiner eater olympics.

Further, our government overtaxing weiner eaters and the heavy regulation of weiner eating has practically kill off any hope of ever reaching again the status of weiner eater superpower.

google.com I think I’m the only one that knows about it :D
