you can find that has HBO.

I did that to watch a football game, once, and had a nice little mini-vacation.

But when they have a cash cow like this, expect it to go to market soon. It'll be on disc this summer I bet.

Band of Brothers is a good example.

Or, you could hit up a friend with HBO. Offer to cook them dinner...*mooseburgers*, perhaps.

That site is good but it's not necessarily within the ToS.

I would just tell the OP to search for the show and .avi or .mp4 or .mkv on Google, plenty of places that will have it.

$10 a month.

I ordered HBO this evening and will cancel in a week.

They pro-rate the fee depending on how long you have channel so it should cost me around $2.50 to keep the channel for a week.

p.s. Anyone that calls their cable company to add HBO just ask them if they sign up for the station if they can cancel anytime they wish, if there are any additional fees, and if the rate will be pro-rated.

So I will be waiting a few days and "finding" it somewhere (if that isn't skirting I don't know what is).

Usually I would avoid anything Sarah but I like Juliana Moore. Not sure what to bring for the theme - someone above suggested mooseburgers but that's a bit over the top.

any ideas?
maybe a word salad? how does one make a word salad... hmmm.

first have to say that Harris, Moore and Harrelson were fantastic.

second I have to say this must have been a production of McCain & Co. because that was not a realistic portrayal of the mean piece of mealy mouthed shit McCain we all know here. he was far too noble and honorable to be McCain - the guy that screamed obscenities at his wife, the guy who referred to Barack Obama as 'that one' - and all the other stinky things he's said and done.

next, this is strange and am almost hesitant to say this here - but hell, I felt sorry for Palin. She is a know nothing nasty one but I still couldn't help feeling her panic and fear. But being feral as she is, she takes care of herself so the feeling of sympathy will pass at the next time she displays her massive ignorance and arrogance.

overall I would say it was well worth the time spent watching, but keeping in mind this was a smooth-over propaganda tool to make McCain something he was not.

Right down to feeling sorry for Palin, but knowing she would throw anyone under the bus if it would help her reach her goals. Ed Harris had McCain down, he was terrific. Though I agree, the writers made McCain look like a man who would make a good POTUS.

19. and good likenesses of her family

Tawd and the kids - they all looked like her real family.

The part where Bristol (think it was her) was crying on the couch on her mum's lap because of some stuff people were saying about her. That hit me hard and I felt really bad for her. It's so unfair to pick on the kids for their parents deeds and misdeeds - even if they campaign for them it's still just not right to do that.

I also felt that there was some emphasis on how unfair it is to involve children in the political battle, I appreciated that. When Bristol was crying, I did feel for her, but that seems to be something that Sarah does too, they react strongly to criticism, they can dish it out, but they can't take it. Bristol has her own show now, doesn't she?

Its fantastic.


Its being streamed at numerous sites now..

I think it is too fair to McCain and Palin
but I'm a hard core.

its funny when I saw Obama speech again in Berlin
I got chills like I did back then.

I'm at the point of the 'OBiden' Palin debate.

sorry, I'm not gonna give out the link. I really don't want to lose
these links I don't have a tv, money for movies etc, but I do have the internet. I'm paranoid about losing that access

You might find out by googlling about megavideo and who took up the slack.

The show was very well done.
