1. Dead of Night

   Dead of Night is a 1945 black and white British anthology horror film, made by Ealing Studios. The individual segments were directed by Alberto Cavalcanti, Charles Crichton, Basil Dearden and Robert Hamer. It stars Mervyn Johns, Googie Withers, Sally Ann Howes and Michael Redgrave. The film is best remembered for the concluding story featuring Redgrave and an insane ventriloquist's malevolent dummy. Dead of Night is a rare British horror film of the 1940s; horror films were banned from production in Britain during World War II. It had an influence on subsequent British films in the genre. Both of John Baines' stories were reused for later films and the ventriloquist dummy episode was adapted into the pilot episode of the long-running CBS radio series Escape. While primarily in the horror genre, the film has shades of the comedy that would make the studio's name.

   It should surprise no one that when some call the gay parade a parade of animals, that a 16-year-old girl is stabbed, those who incite against Israel's Arabs, should not be surprised that churches and mosques are torched and even a baby is burned in the dead of night.

2. Robert Jones:

   David Valadao has one vote in the distant past to point to and every other time David Valadao had a chance( to suspend the gas tax) David Valadao did not have the courage to do it on the floor in Sacramento, the reason voters have supported David( David Valadao) throughout the years -- and what they're looking for in a representative -- is somebody who's willing to stand up to their party and take the tough voters. Rudy Salas has no history of that. When tough votes come around, Rudy sticks Rudy Salas finger in the air and changes Rudy Salas vote in the dead of night. That's not leadership.

   The skylines lit up at dead of night, the air-conditioning systems cooling empty hotels in the desert, and artificial light in the middle of the day all have something both demented and admirable about them the mindless luxury of a rich civilization, and yet of a civilization perhaps as scared to see the lights go out as was the hunter in his primitive night.

5. Gabi Ashkenazi:

   The government approved in the dead of night the emergency regulations, even though Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee began to discuss the issue yesterday -- without being given the opportunity to implement it in a serious and complete way, it is unacceptable that this is the way in which this is approved. Without parliamentary or public oversight.
