Fargo Forum Alternative: Who Won the Debate? I say Barack, but does it matter?
“Obama I think was closer to the top of his game.

Couldn’t agree more. The fact that O-Man didn’t get badly beaten, which I don’t even think Fox Noise has...

It’s not eerie inflections straight out of the movie, Fargo.

The Coen brothers’ “Burn After Reading”
The Coen brothers’ “Burn After Reading” is a screwball comedy that occasionally becomes something more.
Fargo ND, The characters are zany, the plot coils upon itself with dizzy zeal, and the roles seem like a perfect fit for the actors — yes, even Brad Pitt, as Chad, a gum-chewing, fuzzy-headed physical fitness instructor. I’ve always thought of him as a fine actor, but...
Fargo Forum Alternative: Rural America Roars
Perhaps no geography in America is as misunderstood as small towns and rural areas.
Fargo ND, Home to no more than one in five Americans, these areas barely register with the national media except for occasional reports about the towns’ general decrepitude, cultural backwardness and inexorable decline.
Yet in reality this part of America is far more diverse, and in many areas infinitely more...

Since the early part of this decade, America has enjoyed their reality tv. I remember when Survivor first came on–I was glued to my tv set. I wanted to see “real” people in unreal situations. How would they act? Who would back stab? Who was gossiping? I, like many Americans, enjoyed a somewhat guilty...
Fargo Forum Alternative: Zip It liberals Its our Turn
The left has spent the last three day trying to kill the Palin candidacy in the crib.
Their allies in the media realize that if she is allowed to define herself, they are looking at the most formidable Republican politician since Ronald Reagan. That is why they are cowardly attacking a 17 year old girl or claiming that a mother is unfit for the job of Vice President.
They want the street organizer...
