Thats what I'll be getting in two years. Funny enough I call some of the worst teachers I've ever had in my life at Texas Chiropractic College by Dr. even though they're PhDs. Its just a fake glory name. Next time someone has a heart attack ask the PhD to call themselves doctor and they'll prob. say no. <BR/>I might end up renting Good-bye Lenin. I like watching political films alot. My favorites have got to be Nixon and JFK which are both by Oliver Stone b/c of the way he dramatizes them. I recommend watching "The fog of war", "The hunting of the president" or "The War Room". As you can tell, I'm a big Bill Clinton fan. I saw "Outfoxed" last week on DVD and now I fell guilty watching Fox News even for the entertainment value.Emiliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11561766599794207314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10290429.post-1122869356571213202005-07-31T22:09:00.000-06:002005-07-31T22:09:00.000-06:00Dr. Klein recieved her Honourary Doctor of Laws de...Dr. Klein recieved her Honourary Doctor of Laws degree from the University of Calgary in 2002 for all of her contributions to the enhancing the lives of Alberta's children, which is a passion of hers. She is also a very nice person.<BR/><BR/>I am pretty sure the majority of Honourary Degrees given out by Canadian Universities are Doctor of Laws, but I guess I am not 100% sure.<BR/><BR/>Anyways, I originally came here to brag about our dvd collection (which is likely somewhere around 300 titles strong...).

I just think it's quite pretentious that she goes around calling herself "Dr. Klein." I kind of see it as an insult to all of those people who actually did the work to get their real PhD.<BR/><BR/>As for Goodbye Lenin, it is quite a good film. You should rent it, Emil. It takes place during the late 1980's and early 1990's in East Germany (the fall of the Berlin Wall and reunification of Germany). I recommend it.davebertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06822739409684978316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10290429.post-1122858760041768522005-07-31T19:12:00.000-06:002005-07-31T19:12:00.000-06:00What is Ralph Klein's wife a PhD in?

That movie made me laugh at the morons interviewed in it. Man some of these movies are good. As a cowboy you should put down some westerns that kinda sucked like Open Range. Man I was disappointed with that movie. Nothing like Wyatt Earp which I think is Costner's best. I still need to see Tombstone which I hear is awsome.Emiliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11561766599794207314noreply@blogger.com
