My mom’s been posting to flickr and I came across this snap of (from left to right) Cousins Steve and Bryan, me and Beedge all holding our respective firstborns. Ah, the Kennedy’s of Englishtown indeed ;-)
If you can’t access my mom’s flickr pics (they’re all private) but want to, send her an email and have her add you to her flickr contacts list. (yes, amazingly she knows how to do this sort of thing.)
Right now the big communication providers already get money out of your pocket when you use the internet (by way of your monthly ISP bill). They also get money out of Google’s pocket when they pay for their bandwidth utilization. But, apparently that’s not quite enough for them. Christopher’s got some good coverage of how SBC is trying to weasel some more money for their coiffeurs.
See it. Eerily presages current events. When you hear “communism,” think “Islamic fundamentalism.” When it’s the ‘trial’ of Lt. Milo Rudelovich, think of the poor bastards in Guantanamo and elsewhere. When you see the courage of a few public officials in opposing McCarthy, ……well, I wish I could tell you of someone to think of today.
And when you hear Murrow’s speech, be reminded to NOT EVEN THINK OF getting your news from commercial TV (the Daily Show excepted, of course).
According to the credits, George Clooney did everything on this film short of making sandwiches for the crew; if true, brilliant!
And finally, since I was around at the time this film takes place, I can confirm that it isn’t just the technological limits of video at the time - real life was actually in black-and-white back then.
