Real programmers can write assembly code in any language. Some…

There are seven winners of the Monaco Grand Prix on the starting line today, and four of them are Michael Schumacher. I can’t believe what’s happening visually, in front of my eyes.

When videotape came so a lot of movies that I do have a kind of afterlife in video. Things where movies that I do would come and go; they still come and go but you can go rent them and see them on TV. When I was a kid I joined the circus. I did…

We are ever mindful the risks our troops face every day and the sacrifices made by the families and the communities that support them as those who have been removed from power…
Losers make promises they often break. Winners make commitments they always keep. The winner’s edge is not in a gifted birth, a high IQ, or in talent.

The United Nations has come under the control of outlaw nations and self-serving special interest groups. Allowing Texas to display the Ten Commandments on State property but disallowing Kentucky courthouses from doing the same is a poor and flawed interpretation of the U.S. Constitution. The United Nations is a mess, riddled with scandals. In fact,…
I’m a fan of good horror movies. If you are succesfull for 20 years, you can’t expect to stay on the same level all through that period. A career has its ups and downs and in-betweens. I go wild on a stage. Some folks have measured us an image. They pretend us to be saints….
