Also for the record, the radio version of Gunsmoke was arguably even better.
Oh yes, William Conrad as Matt Dillon I learned about the radio version as an adult and listened to every one. It had an existential feel to it that was unsurpassed in westerns until the Rawhide series.
Rawhide was the most existential TV show. It was a cattle drive that was going to Sedalia, but never got there. It had a dark, haunted look to it that is still effective. If I remember correctly, after season six, Rawhide got a new producer and they had an episode where they actually made it to Sedalia. The show went downhill from there. But those first five seasons are some of the best Westerns in TV or movies.

For the record, Gunsmoke is an awesome show. When my grandfather came over here from Sicily, he learned English from watching westerns on TV. He made me watch every episode of Gunsmoke in reruns (and Rawhide).
My friends would come over and we'd all end up watching with grandpa. We used to laugh hysterically when he said, "buckaroo" with his thick Sicilian accent.
They care, their scholarships usually need a minimum GPA. If they don't care it's because someone is fixing it for them, or the prof makes sure the team doesn't lose its star because he couldn't quite add a couple numbers.
Years ago, my wife taught math at Division I football and basketball powerhouse in Indiana. There was a great deal of pressure put on her to change grades for the players.
I don't want to say which school, but let's just say it was a Catholic school with a French name. In South Bend.
And the figures I've seen place it far closer to 20% than 2%.
The figures you've seen are wrong.
Fox News (not the opinion shows such as Hannity) is not free market or right-wing in any way.
Uh-oh.
"In June 2009, the Russian uranium mining company ARMZ Uranium Holding Co. (ARMZ), a part of Rosatom, acquired 16.6% of shares in Uranium One"
So, if Uranium One mines 2% of the uranium in the US, and Rosatom acquired 16.6% of the shares, then how much of the US uranium has Rosatom bought? Do the math. I'll wait.
Be careful about impugning the intelligence and education of people with whom you disagree.
4. The administration which sold 20% of US uranium to Russia
This is not true. Uranium One mines less than 2% of US uranium, so it's not possible tor the sale of that company to have given Russia 20% of US uranium.
Second, the Russian company, Rosatom, that purchased Uranium One, does not have a license to export uranium from the United States. So, none of that 2% of US uranium ever left the United States.
If you want a good metric to judge whether or not someone gets all their news from Fox News and Breitbart, just look at whether or not they repeat the 100% false claim that the Obama administration "sold 20% of US uranium to Russia".
The economists George Baker and Thomas Hubbard, for example, have noted how onboard computers could change U.S. trucking. By monitoring behavior, they would solve a moral hazard problem: Drivers have little incentive to be as careful with company trucks as they would with their own. As a result, more drivers could become employees of companies that buy and maintain fleets, rather than going it alone.
These two geniuses ignore the fact that "onboard computers" are only an intermediary step towards no drivers at all, which is clearly the goal of the trucking industry.
I can't wait for their next article, which is titled, "Being a Slave is Not So Bad Because You Get Free Room and Board".
Transparent bias is always better than lip-service to some mythical notion that journalism is supposed to be totally objective.
There is no such thing as unbiased news, and news organizations that attempt to portray themselves as such should be most suspect ("Fair and Balanced!")
You were all for going after the Russian collusion but now that Mueller hasn’t found anything and all the evidence points to Hillary and Obama doing the ACTUAL collusion you want to deflect to AntiFa...
I've seen the light. AntiFa is the enemy and I'm joining you ProFa guys.
Blacks and whites in the south often have the same name. There were three with my name and middle initial in my third grade class, 7 in the elementary school. 4 were black.
Guess which one's going to be allowed to vote in Indiana.
All this Trump-Russia stuff is just to distract us from the fact that on November 4th, Antifa super-saiyans are going to kill all the white people. I don't know about you all, but I'm going to stay home with my guns and defend my family and the President of the United States that day.
Are people of color more likely to have the same name and birthdate as someone else?
Yes. Because slaves were given the surnames of their owners, which were then passed on to their descendants, there is less variety in last names among the African-American community. You will see very few German, Italian, Scandinavian, etc. last names in the African-American community.
Since just about 80% of black Americans are the descendants of slaves, that's a big population of people who have the same surnames. Remember, only about 1.5% of the US population owned slaves at the height of slavery. That's a very small pool of names start from.
Heck, with the colorful and imaginative names that blacks are giving their kids these days
It's not the "kids" that are having their voting rights revoked, it's the adults.
I'd have thought you'd have a whole lot more "Robert Cooper" vs "Shaquillia Jackson" born on any given date?
There are a lot of black Robert Coopers. I happen to know one, who's a professor at UCLA and another who has been recruited by Florida State to play defensive tackle next year. Both are of voting age.
When the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's rule allowing consumers to sue banks and financial institutions was killed in Congress last week, it was done only with Republican votes. When it was killed in the Senate, it was done only with Republican votes. Not a single Democrat voted for this giveaway to the banks.
No, the two parties in the United States are not "two sides of the same coin". They are not morally equivalent.
They keep you all worked up about gays and NFL players taking a knee and blacks getting all the good looking white women, but when it comes right down to it, if you're getting fucked, you're getting fucked by Republicans.

That was before the sale of Uranium One to a Russian company.

1) Clinton wasn't involved in the decision,
2) and none of the uranium ever left the country.
You have to start getting your news from outside the right-wing echo chamber.

You're doing all the heavy lifting on that one.

Capisco.
Which ones are the "normal states"?
That's easy to say now that you're under house arrest, Mr Manafort.
Get that? "Flight risk". So now we talk about workers in the same terms that we talk about fugitives or escaped slaves.

I can do the same thing in software using VST effects and a copy of Vocaloid.
Know about her? She's my ex-waifu. Made me sign a prenup, so I got nothing when she kicked me to the curb.

Brother, are you really asking an AC troll for clarification?
