Posted by admin / Under Dick Powell
Dick Smith applies makeup to Marlon Brando for his performance as Don Vito Corleone in "The Godfather" (1972).

Posted by admin / Under Dick Powell
An MSNBC commentator is in the doghouse over a mildly obscene on-air criticism of President Barack Obama. Fair enough. But to me his language was less obscene than his suggestion that Obama was getting too uppity with GOP budget negotiators. Mark Halperin, a Time magazine columnist who often appears on the cable news channel as an analyst, was suspended indefinitely on Thursday after he described the president as a D-word that sounds like the short form of "Richard."

Old and busted: Leading leaders and the leadership they display by meeting with leaders. New hotness: The worthlessness of leaders meeting leaders. Yesterday, Barack Obama insisted that leadership meant meeting with opponents and getting serious about finding compromise and making a deal: And I’ve got to say, I’m very amused when I start hearing comments about, well, the President needs to show more leadership on this. Let me tell you something. Right after we finished dealing with the government shutdown, averting a government shutdown, I called the leaders here together. I said we’ve got to get done — get this...

What's Sarah Doing?
Posted by admin / Under Dick Powell
What is Sarah Palin up to? She is touring the country in a campaign bus, appearing at campaign rallies, making campaign speeches, drawing campaign crowds. But, she insists, it’s no campaign. Or at least that she’s no candidate. In 1995, General Colin Powell paralyzed the Republican nominating process by flirting with running for president as he toured America signing his new book. He ultimately didn’t run, but he sold a lot of books and monopolized the nation’s attention for months in the autumn.
