First, the answer to last week’s Extreme Trivia question. CBS is making a donation to Dan Rather’s Texas alma mater, Sam Houston State University. According to Rather, the school was once known by what different name.
The answer: Sam Houston Institute of Teaching.
Now, the next Extreme Trivia question: President Bush is angry with the New York Times: “There can be no excuse for anyone entrusted with vital intelligence to leak it and no excuse for any newspaper to print it.”
In which movie did the below character (the guy in the hat) say: “Our source was the New York Times.”

Gotta be Dr. Strangelove. George C. Scott was in both Dr. Strangelove and Patton. Easiest way to tell a conservative from a liberal is ask them which movie they like better. (Although I prefer Patton - the exception that proves the rule, I guess.)

“Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb” (1964) is one of my all-time favorites. There are so many wonderful funny scenes in that film. But it doesn’t get any better than the one in which Col. Bat Guano, played by Keenan Wynn, reluctantly shoots a Coca-Cola machine.
