Oh. All I know was there was some sorta fight-to-the-death scene that seemed to resolve that awful creature thing into oblivion for all time. Whether it’s true or not, it’s settled in my mind

the thing was never killed…
it was frozen and then placed in the artic.

I believe you are thinking of the original “The Blob”.

What’s going on in their elite-Washington-rulemaker brains? Do they really believe that telling us again and again “It’s a WONDERFUL plan” will make us forget that
(1) it’s going to cost trillions,
(2) it will create unelected/unaccountable “government panels” (what standards must these panelists meet? is there any recourse if they deny a treatment?) who will metaphorically stand between patients and doctors, interfering in personal health-care decisions,
(3) it will FORCE citizens to buy insurance even if they don’t want it,
(4) it will FORCE private physicians to accept less and less in claim payments (as Medicare currently already does) until finally doctors won’t be able to afford staying in private practice (which will thus force everybody into the Government system),
(5) finally, most important, it’s a HUGE government program which will INEVITABLY be riddled with the same waste-and-fraud issues that our Congress-Critters deplore in the existing Medicare and Medicaid programs. So, instead of “just” costing $1.2 TRILLION dollars, it will balloon (just like Medicare did, look it up) into a bloated bureaucracy costing AT LEAST three times as much.

And they want us to “appreciate” all they’re trying to do for (read: to) us little taxpaying peons? Feh.

there is an article up talking about obamas psychopathic lying. and i was thinking how the maladaptation (or throw back) of sociopathy had never encountered film and taping. it requires the looseness and unsure quality of normal human memory to operate. and in true broken mind fashion, the behavior remains regardless of new situation that would stop or slow someone who was doing such by choice for advantage. compulsion vs advantageous by choice.

i am surprised that no director thought himself genius to do a part II after there has been one remake (poor).

then again how could a remake compete with steve mcqueen?

I’m sorry but likening Pelosi et al to ‘The Runaway Bunny’ is being far too kind in my opinion. My entry would be more like “The Thing” one of the scariest movies I ever saw as a child and it was only when that ghastly creature was completely destroyed, killed, DOA was there any abatement of the extreme anxiety it engendered, as it threatened to take over the world.

Obloodyhell,
set fire to the oil in the moat, put in the 10′ stakes into the ground, and dont forget to fill the in betweens with bouncing bettery ap munitions.

that list presumes that the recipients sit around watching with mint julips in their hands in deck chairs… “lovey, whats that? looks like air mushrooms”…”o dont be silly cosmo, those are silk parachutes”. “parachutes, why parachutes, the gate is open”

. > We’ll go through the gate. If the gate’s closed, we’ll go over the fence. If the fence is too high, we’ll pole vault in. If that doesn’t work, we’ll parachute in but we’re going to get health care reform passed for the America people.” By **all** means, parachute in!!! Here, Nancy... Let Me Pack Your 'Chute... .
