Muntadhar al-Zeidi’s actions, while understandable, were criminal in behavior and also broke the first rule of journalism (report the story; don't become it).

No one should be tortured, ever, no matter what dick cheney says, but he had to expect being arrested for trying to assault a head of state.…

Patrick Swayze always struck me as being a really nice guy too. Sad to see him go.

I'm surprised by the people who remembered Roadhouse. What a classic.

I didn't know they still played videos on MTV. I thought it was all reality shows these days.

USNinJapan,

You have to admit however, Mike Meyer's reaction was far funnier than his last 2 movies, so there is that.

inkjet,

I agree with you. Do you remember a time when bush was heckled while giving a speech in front of Congress because I'll be darned if I can remember one.

Heckling (slanderous heckling, at that) and fiddling on their blackberries as the president spoke.

We're about 6 months from a republican mass breath-holding in Congress. Childish temper tantrums are about all we can expect from republicans until they get back in power.

No ideas. No plans. Nothing for the American…
