The Cajun maid scolded the dwarf, Cupidon, calling him a “little Macaque”. Edna Ferber wrote the novel, and I don’t know whether the word is used in the book, but there it was in the movie. In the context of the movie scene, the word was certainly meant to be pejorative.</p> I saw the movie “Saratoga Trunk” on TCM last night.

Racism is as american as apple pie.

The war we should have lost was the Civil War… The South could secede and the Slaves freed and repatriated into the North.

Hey.. it’s not to late to let the Red south secede. Good riddance.. GFA can be president of the confederacy or may Dr Frist. Hahahaha.

If there is a God he wil make this happen! Good Riddance.

and so i guess all of the decent humanists in the deep south will just have to emigrate. sorry, i can’t go along with that kind of thinking any more than lincoln did.

Murrow was a man of integrity, yes, but to be able to do what he did he had to have a CEO behind him that gave him the go ahead to do what he did.
We should be thankful that whoever Olbermann’s boss is hasn’t cut off his oxygen.

What always gets me, and will continue to get me are the words of Edward Murrow.

America needs a MSM person to become the new Murrow…

Was it Rather….nope

Was it Jennings…..nope

It certainly could not be a Stone (Phillips)

Who will finally be the one to expose the Emporer

Have you had Enough?

Murrow was a man of integrity, yes, but to be able to do what he did he had to have a CEO behind him that gave him the go ahead to do what he did.
We should be thankful that whoever Olbermann’s boss is hasn’t cut off his oxygen.
