Kunta Kinte is the central character of the novel, Roots: The Saga of an American Family by American author Alex Haley, and of the television mini-series Roots, based on the book. Haley described his book as faction - a mixture of fact and fiction.
After Haley's book became nationally famous, American author Harold Courlander noted that the section describing Kinte's life was apparently taken from Courlander's book The African. Haley at first dismissed the charge, but later issued a public statement affirming that Courlander's book had been the source, and Haley attributed the error to a mistake of one of his assistant researchers.

"Yeah, Franken made up all that stuff about Bill Orally being a fraud, liar and megalomaniac."
O'Reilly stated on one or two occassions that his former program, Instant Edition (or whatever it was called) had won two "Peabody" awards. In fact, the program won two "Polk" awards. A Polk is a prestigious award, nonetheless. O'Reilly claims he misspoke. Franken is on a Jihad, claiming this is the smoking gun proving that republicans lie about everything.

Vicki, I went to Yellowstone in the 80's, but we stayed in the northern part, away from the geysers and the tourist hordes.
It was gorgeous.
We went the first week after Memorial Day. Not many people (some lakes still had ice on 'em, too). Cold mornings, shorts weather in the afternoon. Animals largely still down in the valleys.
4 days and it wasn't quite enough. This was back in the pre-digital days and I shot 48 rolls of film in those 4 days. Talked to a retiree working in one of the shops and he'd brought 480 rolls for the summer, but thought he'd run out.

"Not when Orally was working on it, of course, but it's perfectly fine to lie by omission if you're a member of the ruling class."
One of the awards was won while O'Reilly was still with the program. Based on his statements, it's not clear he meant to imply that he was responsible for the awards.
But go ahead and keep deluding yourself that democrat pundits and politicians never misspeak or distort the truth. People like you assure people like me that conservatism will prevail - sooner or later - as the reigning ideology in this nation.

I love dancing....slow. I have almost never had a female partner that I could not dance with. It has happened. On that rare occasion, I assume it was my fault. And yes, I confess, I do know how to dance disco when the music seems fast, but you still hold your partner tight. Mrs. qb's ability in that category is one of the many reasons I am so happily married at this point.

Been to the Grand Canyone 3 times. I think I like the north side best.
I try to hit the parks in off season. We were on the north side after Labor Day so not many people there. Being so close, we've been able to go up several times to the south side, but it's a ton farther to the north. Beautiful drive past the Echo and Vermillion Cliffs, though.
And I'd love to get up to the Picture Rocks. When we were still in Kansas I had a big loop planned for Wisconsin and the UP and across the bridge down through the mitten and back.

Physicians for National Health Care comes out against Gupta
Dear PNHP members and friends,
The report this week that President-elect Obama is considering Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN's chief medical correspondent, for the position of U.S. surgeon general is deeply troubling.
As a Patriots fan, I'd like to see the Eagles take the NYGiants out. But it ain't goin' to happen.

As soon as you tell me how Westbrook is, I'll either disagree or agree with you. Its just that simple. Healthy Westbrook (doubtful), Iggles win. If he's hurt, Eli waltzes to the Superbowl, again.

If Dr. Sanjay Gupta gets to be Surgeon General I say Obama makes Michale Moore the Movie Maker Laurent. Or the director of White House communications.
Or the head of the FCC. The Right does things that drive the left crazy. They do this on purpose. Why not us?

Lot of people either think of them as pets or freak out. Treat 'em like big, stupid, mean cattle if you meet them on the road. (which we did both in Yellowstone and in a state park in S. Dakota which name escapes me at the moment.) Very slowly drive forward and they'll move out of your way but you never want to piss one off!

Dancing well is definitely a metaphor for getting a relationship right.
Leading is an art. Trusting enough to follow is an art. The lead always makes the follower look like the best dancer, and showcases the follower. This is a skill.
BTW, my parents have been happily married for 58 years, and are beautiful dancers.

It's tough to tell what point you think you have made. Certainly not anything refuting my main point - that Franken is bonkers for believing he had the goods on O'Reilly for these statements is insane.
Franken even put a distorted photo of O'Reilly on the cover of his book, as if O'Reilly were the next Stalin or something.
The man really needs to get his ass whooped. He's a cowardly, snivelling idiot. Franken, that is (idiots).

Ms. Atabla says that the Grand Canyon is the only place she's been where you can actually do a drive-by and say that you've seen it. However, it's also true that you can spend days or weeks there or come back over and over and never see the same place at all. We can see why people get addicted to it.
