There’s a Confederate soldier still holding out somewhere in the Everglades.

Or was I watching Deputy Dawg?

Did anyone else experience this?

From cell phones, to landline-internet, half of the internet was down for about an hour for me and others in BC. Didn’t matter if you were telus or Shaw or whatever - it was bizarre.

Google.ca - worked perfect , Google.com nothing… link dead

cbc.ca - working fast, Cnn.com - not working,

A&A.org - up and running, NHL.com - no chance

The list goes on and on.

Wondering if anyone else was effected? Around 6:30pm to 7:30pm PST.

Evening Herr KaLeun. I too have always been surprised that this charge was the last large scale one, but it is how I remember it.
Just to be sure, I did google last British cavalry charge and found and read of the one you mention about an hour ago!

For anyone who may be interested in the Enterprise, of WWII fame at least, and her legacy, please read: The Big E by Edward Stafford.

Not only is it the best book on the Enterprise, but it is one of the best written books on WWII that I have ever read. I guarantee you will enjoy it.

Sorry Jen this is clearly going into political. I like that you revitalized the general discussion with so many new posts to read. Thats for that.

It may not be political RIGHT NOW, but you left the rope so thin that nobody could possibly get across the topic w/o falling into making political comments.

@frimmel:

I think the movie is likely to be feminist pandering. Jermo hit on the essential message – people mess things up. I don’t see how they would ever let that through in a film. A simple one like a woman’s beauty is useless in a world without men will never make into the film.

While I would hope it would, and we might see enough folks ready for a shift in their woman good, man bad world view I’m not optimistic and fear the film would just be the women even more genius and badass taking care of a even more hapless, dweebish Yorrick. I can’t see them really embracing anything from the tale other than the story of a dweeb with survivor guilt who needs taken care of and saved.

Why did Yorrick survive the plague? Because he was too stupid to keep from getting sh*t on. I don’t see how Hollywood getting anything but women good-men bad from that.

Y does have messages about equality and a sense that men matter in the world but I don’t see Hollywood doing anything with this other than asking, “Who needs men?” And answering “No one.”

I’m sorry to say but I fear you might be right. I’m glad I own the novels and had a look into the true version before Hollywood corupts it.

I know this article is more than a month old… and all Americans must’ve all heard this, judging from the fact that all Americans like to eat food and lots of it. :P But I ask you this, what’s it doing in a Conservative News Forum? I smell conspiracy! :o

My favorite parts:

Yeah sure, Japan subsidized weiner eaters and high foriegn weiner eater tarriffs by the Japanese are the only reason why we can’t catch a break in the weiner eater olympics.

Further, our government overtaxing weiner eaters and the heavy regulation of weiner eating has practically kill off any hope of ever reaching again the status of weiner eater superpower.
