A Federal court ruling on what the Federal government can and cannot do - where have you been for the past 12 years? Of course they'll find that it's "vital to national security" that they be allowed to violate his rights.

They just keep making it easier and easier for me to stop buying consoles. The Xbox 1984 is obviously a no-go, but with the PS4 requiring you to pay to do anything online other than stream video, it's looking like I'll pass on that too.

I'm sure next week Ms. Boylan will be bitching that we need the next James Bond to be a woman (Jane Bond) and that when they cast the new Batman for the Batman & Superman movie, that Batman will be a woman named Bryce Wayne.

I look at the facts. I can't help he's always played bad characters who are angry and love to shout. It has nothing to do with the "type" of role, it's how the character is portrayed. Alan Rickman may have played many villains, but they were all quite different and unique. That's because Alan Rickman is a fantastic actor. I've yet to see any variation in the personality of Capaldi's characters - which is what I clearly stated from the very beginning. THAT is why I'm disappointed in Capaldi - because his previous work does not show any talent at portraying different characters, he merely portrays the same character saying different lines in different locations.

If they wanted a 50-something year old Scottish man, they should have chosen Robert Carlyle - he's proven himself to be capable of a range of emotions and personalities.

Wow, that was one of the least intelligent comments I've read. So how does your "evil capitalist" theory work when you look at the domestic spying of China, North Korea, the USSR, etc?

Wow you really didn't pay attention. He was more than willing to go along with it, he only got cold feet when he found out that his kids would be sacrificed too. The he murdered his kids and his wife before shooting himself.

Who is being kept safe? Politicians and their thugs. That's who.

I have seen them. Apparently you didn't pay attention to them if you thought he was nice in those episodes.

When someone is always "acting" the same character in every role, I don't view it as acting, I view it as it being their real personality and they merely recite lines that are written. As much as I love Zooey Deschanel, she's not a great actress - she's always the exact same character just saying different lines. Peter Capaldi seems to be the same from everything I've seen him in. Sorry, but I don't want a Doctor that is just a grumpy old guy screaming and cussing at everyone without any heart or emotion other than anger. Sure, it might be funny for a scene or two, but after that it's just destroying the show.

You mean him routinely being an asshole? Sorry, but when someone plays a jerk in almost every role, I stop believing that it's the role and start believing it's the actor. THAT is why I'm against Capaldi - not because he's old, frail looking, etc but because everything I've ever seen him in, he was such a colossal dick that I just wanted to punch him in the face the entire time.

When its circulation is only about 1.5 million in a nation of 315 million, yes, it is extremist. It focuses on the view of a small portion of inner city liberals and ignores the rest of the nation. I'm sorry that I have to say it again, but you don't have a damn clue what you're talking about because as you pointed out in your first comment you don't live here and thus do not know the culture.

As you said, you're on the wrong side of the world. Thus, you do not realize how out of touch the NY Times is with most of the US. It's the reason why their subscribers keep dropping and the newspaper that used to be known for their sharp reporting is now known for being a shill for certain political views.

It's funny, in order to support your claim that Fox News and it's viewers are dumb racists who only want their prejudices confirmed, your entire post is nothing but prejudiced and racist comments towards anyone who disagrees with you.

Read up on Operation Northwoods. They are not only evil enough to stand by and let them happen, the US government has been evil enough to plan their own terrorist attacks on US soil to try to get Americans to support going to war.

If you think Americans will ever vote these politicians out, you're not very familiar with history.
