If he ignores the subpoena, he will be in contempt of congress, if he tries to do a Lindsey Graham and tries to legally quash the summons he will fail, if he goes to the committee he will not be able to keep his mouth shut and will effectively put the noose around his own neck or will plead the 5th to every question and make it obvious he is guilty and he knows it. I could not be happier

The TV series Up Pompeii! was directly influenced by this film and Zero Mostel was sought to play the lead, however he was to busy to work in the UK, so the part went to Frankie Howerd instead. He also turned down the lead in the film version Fiddler on the Roof, after winning many accolades for his stage performance in the part, this time being replaced by Topol. His other most famous role as the crooked producer Max Bialistock in Mel Brook's the Producers lead to the remake being dedicated to him in 2005 Sadly Zero died in 1977 at the age of 62 years young shortly after starring with his friend Woody Allen in "The Front" playing a blacklisted Hollywood actor in the House Un-American Activities Committee era, a fate that had actually befallen Zero in 1952 crippling his career for 7 years.

LenHazell53 comments on Oct 13, 2022:
Cockney rhyming slang, Scarper/ Scapa flow = Go Scapa Flow was a military Harbour in Scotland, where after WW1 the entire German fleet was ordered to be interned. The German navy however, fearing their ships would be used by the British to take revenge on Germany, on the orders of Admiral Ludwig von Reuter, skuttled their entire fleet of warships and U Boats, destroying all but twenty two of the smaller ships and boats, which were saved by the British by beaching them. Hence the cockney rhyme to scarper, to run away from one's responsibilities and liabilities Scappare is also the Italian word for escape and may have some baring on the etymology.

LenHazell53 comments on Oct 8, 2022:
I used to think so too, until I was introduced to the Hammer film "The Witches" 1966 based on the 1960 novel "The Devil's Own" by Norah Lofts, AKA Peter Curtis. This older film had a huge influence on Shaffer's screen play for The Wickerman (which he claimed was based on the 1967 Novel by David Pinner "Ritual" it is not and Pinner has disassociated himself from the film), When I say influenced I am being kind, Shaffer lifted the plot, many elements such as the poppet doll in the graveyard and whole sections of dialog verbatim from "The Witches" SPOILERS The Witches was the last film of Joan Fontaine, who as Gwen Mayfield is an ex nun, recruited to become a teacher in a remote Scottish school, after she returns from Africa and is questioning her faith because of experiences with ritual shamanic magic. Miss Mayfield comes to realise that a child who was supposed to be in her class has disappeared and the whole village is conspiring to pretend she never existed. However the spirit of missing child begins appearing to the teacher, appealing for help, which eventually leads Gwen to uncover the fact that the whole village is part of a witch cult that sacrifices virgins to their Satanic master and the girl is to be the next victim at the next full moon. The Teacher finds her way in to the underground crypt to rescue the child be finds she has been tricked in to coming voluntarily to the place of sacrifice, still a pure virgin priestess willing to give her life to save the girl. This is the point were the stories diverge Police Sergeant Neil Howie in the Wickerman is sacrificed, but Gwen realizing her purity is necessary cuts herself and smears blood on the satanic alter revealing she is not a virgin but succumbed to lust, which is why she left the convent. The impure blood smears on the chief witch and marks her as responsible for the failure of the ritual, allowing the devil to seize her soul. Gwen saves the girl in the confusion and escapes as the witch queen crumbles to dust.

In the sub plot of Tom Sharpe's hilarious novel Riotous Assembly (1971) a similar situation arises when the chief of police in a South African suburb is charged with infiltrating "terrorist" anti-apartheid cells and so sends out one of his best deep cover detectives to do so. When said detective can find no such organizations he decides to start one himself and entrap the terrorists. Unfortunately the only people he can recruit all turn out to be other undercover detectives from the round about other towns and a a secret service agent . A mistake not discovered until an insane plot to stuff wild ostriches with TNT and set them loose in a local shopping center goes disastrously wrong and the entire terrorist cadre tries to arrest itself.

How is gender equality in your neck of the planet?
LenHazell53 comments on Oct 7, 2022:
@castlepalomas point though well made is A self fulfilling prophesy, tell a person they cannot control what they do and they will immediately assume that they do not HAVE try and control it. Tell them that they can control themselves and they will, except in cases of mental imbalance or pure evil. I was a victim of spousal abuse for five and a half years, not only was my 1st wife larger and stronger than me (and I found out later had a prior conviction for assault having been hired to beat up another woman), but when informed the police laughed in my face, and then warned me not to fight back or I would be liable for prosecution because of the assumption that a man need not practice self defense against a female and any attempt to do so would be seen as aggression on his part. As a child I was taught ( and still believe) that for a man to raise a hand against a woman in anger is the lowest of the low. So many men will not fight back against a bullying spouse, because they believe to do so will make them a monster, and many women rely on this to provoke men in to a rage and so that, as they see it, they can portray themselves in the position of martyr and victim. This too is the behaviour of lowest of the low. Men do rape men it is true all to often and in such cases again the police tend to take the stance that it is impossible to prove, because "No *real man*" would allow himself to get in that situation. There are practically no counseling or support services for heterosexual male victims of abuse, physical sexual or emotional, because again "Real Men" don't need that sort of thing and "The poofs look after one another". Partner abuse is just as real no matter the sex or gender of the perpetrator or the victim and it is time it was treated as such.

Phoenix noun A person or thing that has become renewed or restored after suffering calamity.
LenHazell53 comments on Oct 1, 2022:
From classical Greek *phoinix* literally "the colour of dates" usually assumed to be Purple as *phoinos* is red and there is no classical Greek word for blue *Kyanos* literally means the colour of night and most often translated as black, and *glaukos* which means the colour of springtime, is most often translated as green except when applied to the sky. Since this is the case in most ancient languages that there is no word for blue, some anthropologist believe, the ability to see blue is a fairly recently evolved trait in most humans and also explains colour blindness. Purple has for millennia been seen as the holy colour of priests, so one can assume that the Phoenix bird is the holy bird and symbol of resurrection.

GINGERLY.
LenHazell53 comments on Sep 27, 2022:
There is an alternate etymology. "To ginger" as a verb was for years used in the horse trading and racing fraternity as a method of making Horses stand up taller when being measured for sale or for handicapping and for making animals appear more frisky and full of vitality. It was totally illegal and very cruel. Gingering was done by pushing a piece of peeled and raw ginger (or in some cases a thistle) up the anus of the animal and using a bung to keep it in place. The spicy ginger would make the horse stand up straighter to try and stop he pain and prance rather than simply walk for the same reason. People who had been trained to move in a similar way for the sake of elegance where said to move "ginergerly" they were behaving as a gingered horse, moving and sitting carefully so as not to cause the ginger to sting. The Cockney rhyming slang "Ginger Beer" meaning a homosexual "Ginger Beer, queer" also came from the idea that a mincing walk looked like having been Gingered. The Cockney rhyming slang "Ginger Ale" meaning pale on the other hand comes from the idea that read headed people of Celtic ancestry are also usually pale skinned.

LenHazell53 comments on Sep 19, 2022:
There is a subtle difference between a Corsair and a Pirate Pirates were simple opportunist thieves Corsairs were almost always former pirates who had been pardoned by a specific nation and then licensed to carry on their "trade" upon the ships of enemy nations (or just other nations) offering up 10% of their plunder each year as a tax to the king who pardoned them. Obviously this system was open to abuse and so later none pirates began simply entering the Corsairships as a purely business relationship with the state or employed directly by the state and in time these "Privateers" forced out the old Corsairs, except in Turkey where organised crime had cornered the market.

Ironically the word “swastika derives from the Sanskrit word svastika, which means “to be good.” and was not a word used by the Nazi's, it was an an invention of the british propaganda department who thought that the irony was amusing and that the word sounded sufficiently nasty. I remember a few years ago islamist Muslims using exactly the same trick to demonise Hindu's in the west by calling them anti-Semite and nazi for the use of a three thousand year old Hindu symbol

This is not longer a matter of Left and Right wing politics, this is a matter of terrorism. When institutions ans individuals are personally threated and intimidated in to altering their stance on principle issues, that is Terrorism, there is not another word for it. It is not protest, it is not freedom of speech, it is not a moral stance... IT IS TERRORISM America has been subject to a covert internal invasion. The invaders are placed in the courts, the media, the government and the military, ensuring that the whole system of checks and balances has been corrupted to work against the very constitutional freedoms it was set up to protect. Unless this is recognised by the powers that be (or in this case should be) and is made subject to emergency powers and a purge of the canker that has infected the very head of the country, then the USA is finished. I am not using hyperbole, nor exaggerating... the terrorist will institute, in the name of patriotism, an insurrection, they will seize power because unlike the law abiding majority they are willing to kill, willing to use violence, threats and intimidation and have the backing of the fruits of three generations of desensitized uneducated gun toting morons in red hats and fake army gear who genuinely believe might makes right and opposing them will be over sensitive pseudo intellectual snow flakes who think sending a strongly worded tweet will stop the bullets. And when MAGA do seize power? They will not be able to hold on to it and will react badly at which point there will be military action to restore order, either from within or without the US and the country will fall in to a new dark age of oppression, blame, holocaust and "Re-education" facilities that will make the atrocities of China, and the USSR look like a tea party by comparison. ACT now, it is your last chance.

LenHazell53 comments on Sep 17, 2022:
Recently the phlogiston hypothesis has been reassessed in historical context and it it is not as ridiculous as was first thought. The main purpose of the hypothesis was to explain WHAT fire is since it did not and does not conform to any of the three known forms of matter. We know now there ate more than three forms of matter, dependent on atmosphere and available amounts energy (there are seven Solids, Liquids, Gases, Ionized Plasma, Quark-Gluon Plasma, Bose-Einstein Condensate and Fermionic Condensate.) Fire is now designated as a PLASMA and though not a chemical or compound in itself it is ***a transient state between being composed of the elements prior to ignition and the spent fumes and/or ash*** This is a fairly close definition of the hypothesized substance of Phlogiston ***the hypothetical principle of fire, of which every combustible substance was in part composed which having been released during burning precipitates ash*** given the available contemporary knowledge. Phlogiston, therefore is now being redefined as an early attempt at plasma theory
Lauren Boebert Hilariously MANGLES Bible Verse [youtube.

This is freaking hilarious in more ways than one What the hell translation of the bible is she using, was my first question because Roman 1 28-32 does not read like that in any version I have ever read. So I went and looked it up and found it eventually to be from ***The Message: The Bible in Contemporary Language (Navpress Publishing Group, 2002)*** written by failed poet Eugene Peterson a Presbyterian preacher who realised that most of his congregation were too dumb to actually understand the actual bible so decide to "sex it up". What he wrote and published is basically the new testament for dumb ass hicks, filled with (almost) bad language, blood, gore and gud ole honest A'Mirkin Homophobia. In that same chapter he makes an inspired translation of Romans 1 26-27 two verse before the Won-ton gaff *26-27 Worse followed. Refusing to know God, they soon didn’t know how to be human either—women didn’t know how to be women, men didn’t know how to be men. Sexually confused, they abused and defiled one another, women with women, men with men—all lust, no love.* when the original reads 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, The passage the passage she is reading translates Romans 1:28-32 King James Version 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. as one block of text meant only to be read together *28-32 Since they didn’t bother to acknowledge God, God quit bothering them and let them run loose. And then all hell broke loose: rampant evil, grabbing and grasping, vicious backstabbing. They made life hell on earth with their envy, wanton killing, bickering, and cheating. Look at them: mean-spirited, venomous, fork-tongued God-bashers. Bullies, swaggerers, insufferable windbags! They keep inventing new ways of wrecking lives. They ditch their parents when they get in the way. Stupid, slimy, cruel, cold-blooded. And it’s not as if they don’t know better. They know perfectly well they’re spitting in ...

You actually just made the valid point that white men playing other ethnicities is bloody stupid and offensive, yet then you say a black girl playing a Nordic (specifically Danish) character is not subject to the same judgment? Can we spell hypocrite?

LenHazell53 comments on Sep 16, 2022:
It is something that this information is to be is released in 2029, in the UK classified documents have a seal placed upon them for anything from a minimum of thirty years up to one hundred and twenty years, and in odd cases indefinitely. This how it remained secret for well over a century that Dr. Cripen was completely innocent and hanged for a crime that never happened, thanks to a drunken cockup the then home secretary, one Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill. Winston received a letter from the still living Mrs. Cripen a month before her husband's execution assuring the home secretary that she was in fact alive and well, remarried and living in Pennsylvania. The letter was accompanied by a photograph and was notarized. The Drunk Churchill had put the letter unopened in his pocket and forgotten about it until asked to return it for the archives and its content was then discovered. Later when Prime Minister Churchill had the archives of his time as home secretary sealed under the official secrets act for one hundred years. This was presumably to protect his own reputation and that of Scotland Yard who had taken the almost unique action of arresting Cripen for murder despite the absence of a body (it was ruled a scrap of blood stained material found in the cellar of the Cripen house was enough to constitute a corpse). incidentally the same precedent was used to execute John George Haigh the acid bath Murderer when a finger nail clipping was ruled as sufficient to constitute a corpse. The difference being that after sentencing and before execution Haig confessed to a further three murders, where as Cripen protested his innocence right up to his statement on the gallows.

I find it quiet amazing that even after a thousand years social conformities and expected niceties are still referred to in Normandic French as opposed common saxony. Shows who we still see as the crème de la crème
