I have always loved Rockwell's work. It is iconic and distinctly American in Style. My grandmother used to have a coffee-table book of his Saturday Evening Post covers that I loved looking at when we would visit..
Wally:Warehouse them--great--how about Madagascar?
While re-reading this thread I just realized this idea was an invocation of Godwin's law. A tentative Nazi plan was for the Jews to be relocated to Madagascar and allowed to rot after the final Nazi victory.I wonder why I did not catch that at the time? 🙁
Observations on the VP debate: Biggest thing; what is up with Biden laughing at Ryan all the time? Biden comes off as extremely arrogant and preachy. Best commentary on the debate “There’s a way to disagree with your opponent without acting like a jerk,”, Biden did indeed act like a jerk and a bully. He was completely unreasonable.1. Biden opens trying to make the case that Obama is tough on national security, but ends it with a statement of what I call cowardice; Ryan got the best of this exchange I think by calling a duck a duck and calling the admin. on their spinning the attack in Libya.2. Was the moderator in the tank for Biden? It sure looks like it, either that or she was monumentally unsuited to moderating a debate.3. Joe Biden - “The most crippling sanctions in the history of sanctions” and he has eaten the best ice cream ever made too. 4. At 21:58 Biden pulled out the blame Bush card, minus 10 points for being stupid.5. Biden broadcast to the Taliban that if they wait until 2014 they can have free rein under an Obama administration because we have had enough. I bet Mullah Omar would vote Obama if he could.6. I thought Biden was insincere when talking about abortion and Ryan made a good case.7. Lastly, I thought Ryan made a better case for economic reform than Biden did for staying the Obama course.In general I thought the debate favored Ryan but Biden did his best to make Ryan appear inexperienced and foolish. I think Biden failed at that though and only made himself look condescending.
That is cool. I walked right past there wondering where the exact spot of the assassination was. If I remember the place from the photo right from my visit to Rome that area is full of cats now.
How are you going test those hypotheses? Without a time machine or written records the reason for the frankenmummies is and will remain pure speculation. That is all I am saying. Heck, it could even be that the frankenmummies are the parts of the bodies they found less tasty, we just don't know.
If you guys have added my Civil War blog to your recipricol links, you can go ahead and remove it... I am moving most of my writing over to my HubPages account which has been paying me fairly well with the articles I have there.After looking at analytics, I get very little traffic at my Civil War page and a decent amount at my HubPages account, so posting my Civil War articles there will increase my readership.If interested: http://nickburchett.hubpages.com/Oh... also, remove the Christian History link as well... I will most likely be moving that soon as well...
It is now updated on my page
“perhaps designed to amalgamate different ancestries into a single lineage.”, “Having six preserved body parts to hand indicates there was sufficient space in which to store them for some time prior to their reassembly.”Two examples of pure guesswork, plausible guesswork maybe but guesses nonetheless
This story is a good example of archaeological guesswork. They are just guessing because they don't know the real reason and absent the invention of time travel, never will. This kind of garbage is one of the reasons I am occasionally down on archaeology.
Take a visit to England and you will see. There are more non-English in London than English people and they have sanitized their culture to the point of destruction to avoid offending the invaders. Just examine the way they handle their Muslim extremists with kid gloves. They are well on the way to submission, even the French are defending their culture more than the English.
I am hoping to get a Sys or Network admin job at a medium size company. I have absolutely no desire to work a GS job. I had my belly full of government service on AD. I see IT as a means to an end. My first love is and always will be history.
I positively loathe the English accent. Hearing it makes me want to punch somebody. Also, getting called a Yank makes me absolutely see red. At that point I just call 'em a Limey and walk away before the fight starts.I will admit that English historians tend to write stylistically better than do Americans.
