Busy week of work and film here....still have more of both.  Watched two films on the list...first was "Hallelujah!," the 1929 King Vidor film -- first talkie -- concerning a man's fall from grace, rise, fall again...rah.  It was interesting in that it was an entirely black cast (1929!) and was mainly spirituals...I liked it but it was formulaic.  Second was "Destry Rides Again."  I didn't have high hopes for it -- Jimmy Stewart as gun-averse deputy cleaning up town, Marlene Dietrich as dance hall girl -- but it was actually quite enjoyable.

I think the second articles goes to the heart of the matter here...the fact of the matter is Hillary had to have known about this for a while, and certainly -- remember the vast right wing conspiracy -- did as much to assault the credibility of his accusers.  Now, of course, you're attacking the victim.  So I think some GOPers are salivating at the double standard and want to make it as issue... not a key one, but the Clintons are a package deal...and of course, if you are relying on women...

First, has Danny Graves lost weight?  He still looks good.  Second...considering what the Yankees gave up...couldn't the Tribe have pulled this?  Morals aside...you're getting a closer/top setup guy for a year for spare parts.  Considering the Tribe will have to win as many games by 2-1/3-2 scores as possible, I would think a page from the Royals book would have been one to look at.
