Great Opening
Sometimes we all feel like we're the last defenders of Fort Zinderneuf.
1939 truly was a wonderful year for movies.

Being a Man
I'm working on a long post inspired by this comment (#68) over at StandFirm.
The idea is that stereotypically men define themselves by what they do, women define themselves by their relationships. Being a stereotype, while there is a great deal of truth to it, there is also some falsity.
The problem comes about when we assume a false identity. The drum movement of the last decade is an example of men not being men so much as trying to 'butch up'. Synthetic identity is a good way to self destruction, especially when it comes to something central as sex.
This may take a year or two.
Assuming I get permission from my wife. ;)

Pure Gold
Robb Allen found a 'smoking gun' memo that, as he points out, was not only typed, but faxed which doubles its truthiness right there.
I read it, had a good chuckle and forgot it. Then I came back to it and read the comments. Pure bloggy gold, is what they are. Just about every whack job cliche is to be found in them thar comments.

A Truly Wonderful Confrontation
The opening scene is one of the best showdowns in English literature.
