Lady Warnock, a former headmistress who went on to become Britain's leading moral philosopher, insisted there was "nothing wrong" with people being helped to die for the sake of their loved ones or society. The 84-year-old added that she hoped people will soon be "licensed to put others down" if they are unable to look after themselves.

It’s early evening and I’m in the backseat of a limousine driving through Central Park. I’ve just finished a television interview and my driver’s taking me back to my girlfriend’s place in Harlem. Growing up middle class, being chauffeured in a limo usually meant someone died, was getting married, or going to the prom. Today, [...]

Apesma's Lament (Free subscription) | 07/20/2008
Branded was a short-lived (1965-1966) western I watched in re-runs as a kid in Sioux Falls, SD. Chuck Connors stars as Captain Jason McChord, a West Pointer who is unfairly accused of cowardice in battle and drummed out of the military. He wanders alone bearing his shame, but strength of character carries the day and he generally transcends. I didn't remember most of that until I looked it

Biden Slaps Down McCain's Mini-Me
The Garlic (Free subscription) | 05/24/2008
We had hoped that action would have been taken by now. We suggested, in our most recent Garlictorial that Senator Joe Lieberman (R-I, CT) be drummed out of the Democratic Caucus, ala the television show, "Branded". ( Chuck Connors "dishonorably discharged from the service, his stripes and brass buttons removed and his sword broken in two") We then pointed out how he has become McCain's attack dog,...

This is one baseball trade that's gone a little batty
San Diego Union (Free subscription) | 05/24/2008
Even though small, independent baseball leagues notoriously try to draw fans with promotions such as “vasectomy night” and “midget wrestling,” two teams had good reasons to swap a right-handed pitcher for 10 bats.

Garlictorial: Why Wait - Toss Lieberman Over To The GOP Now!
The Garlic (Free subscription) | 05/16/2008
I don't know about you, but this is getting to be pretty nauseating. There was Senator Joe Lieberman (I-R, CT) joking around, waving his pom-poms, cheerleading for the bombing of Iran, saying that it "Has An Appeal To It" . Hey, Harry Reid, pay attention to this! Get rid of Joe Lieberman now! Cut him loose! ... Send him packing! ... Take a page from the old television program "Branded" ( Chuck Connors...

Your birthday today: You are fastidious in your ideas, and careful of appearances at all times. You are both artistic and idealistic. You think quickly but act slowly. You are tender, kind and considerate, love deeply and have the sincere love of your kin and immediate household. You also have the day to yourself, at least as far as the book goes (nobody's name was written in). This means you have...

Which way did they go, Cowboy?
Miami Herald (Free subscription) | 01/10/2008
Q: Are there any DVDs of old Westerns like Sugarfoot (starring Will Hutchins), Bronco (starring Ty Hardin), Cheyenne (starring Clint Walker), The Virginian (starring James Drury), Davy Crockett (starring Fess Parker) and The Rifleman (starring Chuck Connors)? It is very scary to me that I can remember these guys' names.

TV Theme Songs
Ramblin' with Roger (Free subscription) | 01/08/2008
Greg picked his Top Ten TV Themes recently, and I thought I'd do the same. I figured it'd be an easy post, but the more I thought about it, the more I decided that comparing themes with vocals and themes without just wouldn't cut it for me. The vocals should give you a sense of the story, while the instrumental should set the mood. So, two lists, both in alphabetical order: Instrumentals The Andy Griffith...
