  - [deleted] 2
    - Well, the enthusiasm gap amongst the Dems is not at all surprising. - znufrii Sep 15, 07:54
    - I think the hope is that the extremism of the Tea Partiers will motivate the democratic voters in a way that they haven't been. - pmb Sep 15, 07:53
- Well, generally, polling seems to be showing that the extreme right (Tea Partiers) don't pull in independents/moderates much. Delaware went from - Don Homer Sep 15, 07:46 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - Too late for that. See: Rush and Beck. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 15, 07:50

Is it the year 1700? Toronto area man facing witchcraft charges.....(link) - Walt_Disney Sep 15, 06:59 3
- from my reading of the article, he's being charged with *pretending* to practice witchcraft. - znufrii Sep 15, 07:02 2

So Let Me In and Black Swan have gotten strong reception at TIFF based on what I've read. -- nm - HdnAgnda Sep 15, 06:47 13
- I thought Black Swan was good, it's definitely a film that stays with you. Not quite his best, but close. - LMS Sep 15, 07:02

  - Right. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 15, 07:48
  - "So I can reup for $50 a year...or I can just wait and get it for $30 and some free stuff..." -- nm - Beaker Sep 15, 07:28
- I did the same thing. A few years later I got a good deal and started it up again. - JaxSean Sep 15, 07:26 1
  - Amazon offers pretty good prices for magazines too, fwiw. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 15, 07:48
