Don't forget the Epson which closer to $2000 after rebate. In a dedicated Home Theater it would thrive.

Before this incident I thought Alec Baldwin was a great actor and a decent human being. Now after hearing him verbally abuse and berate his young daughter I can only conclude that he is a phony and in real life he is an arrogant, immature, rude and abusive person.

I cannot imagine ever speaking to my daughter like that. It is beyond belief that an adult human being can be selfish enough to allow himself to be so consumed by emotion in such a way that verbal abuse of a 12 year old is justified.

This type of thing, how we treat those around us, is far more revealing (and in this case damning) than some racial slur or politically incorrect comment regardless of context.

People that have heard this rant will never look at or respect Alec Baldwin as an actor, artist, or human being. It's sort of sad, but it is justice that people have seen the REAL Alec Baldwin after years of seeing the LIE.

Let's get something straight, the reason USA Basketball failed to win the Gold medal this year wasn't a vast improvement in the quality of the international game. The international game is, was and will be for the foreseeable future a step behind the best team basketball in the United States. The reason we lost wasn't hostile crowds, or questionable officiating. The reason we lost wasn't because Kobe, Shaq, Garnett, and McGrady decided to stay home. The reason we lost is because of the "all-star" mentality of the selection committee. The reason we lost is a little thing called "teamwork". Huh? What's that? Apparently, teamwork has become a mystery to many in the media and in the NBA. Yeah, a team gets better when it plays together for a while. I know this is ground-breaking stuff. Everyone knows that if you want to see crappy basketball, go watch an all-star game. Turnovers, missed alley-oops, showboating and no defensive communication are the order of the day. TEAM U.S.A. needs to quit trying to assemble a super squad of our five best and we need to put our BEST FIVE out on the floor. I don't care if the players on the team come from the NBA, college, high school, city league, or the playground; just be damned sure they play and practice well together and understand their responsibility to the nation before you send them to the Olympics. How about sending an NBA playoff squad that is composed of mostly domestic players? Anyone think the Lakers or the Pacers would have had trouble winning the gold?
