Mr Tony's not a populist. He's just running at the mouth, as always,
for kicks, chicks, and giggles. It's fun to laugh at/with his
hopelessness sometimes :-)
That's why I'm not calling for ny so-called "e-mail jihad" or anything
of the sort. He's utterly harmless to us. Now, if Roger Ebert were a
hater, well, we might have to regulate. (Though the video gamers
tried, and to my knowledge, he never backed off or admitted that he's
out of the loop, with respect to his most inflammatory comments.)

Heh. Then you'll love his stint on TCM (or is it AMC?). Apparently,
he's been invited to host/intro several films as part of an ongoing

Man, that was vague. Feel free to fill in the blanks on that.
Terrence Briggs, got Shinchan from Netflix. It feels so good to be so

Peace to you...
