Assortment

Washington Rebel has two good posts on film noir, here and here.

Middle Coast highlights some Republican opportunities in Wisconsin, Missouri and Illinois.

If you’re thinking of dropping by to see Steve Burri, you might want to call first.

If you’ve tried talking to a liberal lately, it probably went something like this.

As the Blogprof shows, sometimes you have to keep hammering on the obvious (or, of course ObamaCare penalties represent a tax).

Nice Deb has a nice selection of stuff, including more on Donald Berwick (NHS fan-boy), and a video of the always enjoyable Andrew Klavan.

Australia is wrestling with its own immigration problems, as bingbing points out in this post.

Nobody takes it to the street like Richard McEnroe.

Moonbattery has a look at New Black Pampers.

Noir: "Out Of The Past" is excellent, Bob Mitchum is perfect and Kirk Douglas in pretty much his first screen appearance.

But my favorite is Vic Mature in "Kiss of Death"

Out of the Past is my favorite film noir, bar none. In fact, it's one of my favorite movies, period.

But I like Kiss of Death, too, and not just because the woman in the wheelchair that Richard Widmark shoves downstairs reminds me of my evil sister-in-law. The scene where Mature and his gang are riding down in the elevator after robbing the jewelry shop is almost unbearably tense; and the final segment, where Mature faces Tommy Udo in the restaurant and verbally smacks him down...great stuff!
