David Mamet's Spartan

When a fellow film devotee recommended this flick, I was not totally in the dark. Over the years Mamet's terse and intelligent writing has always left me intrigued and mostly satisfied. His look at the world of salesmen in "Glen Gerry Glen Ross" is a masterpiece.
Spartan, a "covert-action, political-intrigue thiller" is no exception. With so much out there to only hum along with, this one makes you want to teeter on the back of your seat and sing the hallelujah chorus!
Mamet is really his own "one man" sent in to save the day.
Kudos.
And thank you, SH!

MP Surplus Pinkard Alabama

There are some places that simply defy description. Places that in their utter uniqueness, their obtuse oddness, in their arcane audacity don't fit into a category. One such place is MP Surplus in the small farming hamlet of Pinkard Alabama. Domiciled in the gutted remains of a one-hundred year old feed mill (the mill's brick tower collapsed a few years back and now a wooden partition prevents entrance into the most ancient showrooms) about 10 miles north of Dothan Alabama in the south east corner of the state, MP Surplus may be the only mlitary surplus outlet in the nation that has its very own Iron lung (Those machines used in the 50's to breath for the victims of polio that swept the youth of America like rock and roll.

Walt Whitman is Still Alive October 10, 2005!

Should I be surprised that the the long thought, dead father of modern poetry still lives? Rumaging through GOOGLE I find an address and phone number. Dare I call? Will I be the millionth lover of verse to call with a prepostrous request?

Who said let dead dogs lie?

Poets living and dead tell the truth!

Walt Whitman - (212) 686-8744 - 30 E 35th St, New York, NY 10016

Not a bad neighborhood!
