I had not heard that about Medusa, but that makes perfect sense. Where did the Greeks encounter these black women, I find myself wondering?

1. Fuck you.2. If you think this skeezy motherfucker has not violated state law in say, New York, you are an idiot. Maybe you are a lawyer. Plenty of them are idiots. See also Michael Cohen.3. It's time we play the game like it's for keeps. We have been rolling over for these cocksuckers since Watergate, with nothing to show for it. Yeah, I was getting my first degree in poli sci during Watergate.4. Fuck you.

I just love "Zulu" as a film. I don't care if it's not accurate to the truth. Both sides showed their stones over those couple of days. I head Michael Caine say that he based his character's mannerisms on Prince Phillip--hands behind the back, etc.
