Montalban RIP

Ricardo Montalban passed away yesterday at the age of 88.

I remember him most fondly as the delightfully maniacal Khan in my favorite Star Trek movie: Star Trek II ~ The Wrath of Kahn. In particular I always loved his intense and quasi-Shakespearean delivery of these famous lines from Herman Melville’s Moby Dick (uttered to Kirk, of course):

“No, no, you can’t get away…

To the last, I will grapple with thee!

From Hell’s heart, I stab at thee!

For hate’s sake, I spit my last breath at thee!”

BTW: Be Sure to Boycott Wikipedia

Barack Obama, Random Bloggy Stuff, Stanley Kurtz / 2 Comments

I was a Wikipedia fan until I learned of their behind-the-scenes uber-sly politics-via-edits. 

For a new example, Stanley Kurtz’ Wiki bio page has been edited a lot lately.  Why?  He’s been busy researching and talking about more Ayers-Obama links.  The current entry is mostly cut-and-pasted from an Obama campaign release and is Complete and Utter Nonsense.  It also cites Media Matters which is not a credible source.

I counsel everyone to boycott Wikipedia!  And tell your friends!
