Tim Russert is a great host for "Meet the Press". He has never made any real bones about having been raised in a working-class union Catholic household in Buffalo, or acted as if this has in no way shaped his thinking. This background does not, however, prevent him from asking real, probing questions of his guests, Democrats and Republicans alike. He is less objective about his beloved Bills than he is about politics, but he is at his very best when he asks people their stance in light of their own past comments which he has at his disposal on videotape. Russert, contrary to some of the other opinions posted here, has in my opinion been far less of a Democratic partisan than his MSNBC counterpart, Chris Matthews.

John Wayne Western (but no one gets killed)! Edgar Buchanan, Yvonne DeCarlo and a very young (and fetching!) Stepahnie Powers; slapstick, cattle, horses, and adapted Shakespeare. And it's all free, or nearly so, since, like some of the other Wayne pictures made by his own production company, it was somehow allowed to lapse into public domain after his death, the only downside to this being that many of the DVDs available are shoddy since they weren't made from the best prints, and probably it will remain that way, since there is little profit motive in taking the time to make a truly superior DVD as long as anybody who wants to can then copy and sell it. An old-time "big" picture which looks expensively made and is well-photographed as well as well-acted in the wink-and-a-nod, tongue-firmly-in-cheek way in which it is intended to be taken.
