Yep! We need a "Chill Wind Alert".

Yes, a Jerod Nadler "whiff of fascism" alert all the while he and his party buddies try to steal an election.

I wonder if the Tim Robbins "Chill Wind" speech to the National Press Club is available on CD somewhere [more entertaining than the collected speeches of Noam Chomsky, no doubt]. I still remember listening to it on CSPAN in absolute stitches. Mr. Robbins was using his most ponderous stage voice [channeling Abe Lincoln perhaps]. I had recently seen his 1999 directorial debut: Cradle Will Rock on cable so I had had a recent reminder of his politics. The man was in an ecstasy of righteous martyrdom [as if being disinvited from the Bull Durham fifteenth anniversary reunion was the equivalent of being sent to prison or professionally blacklisted for life]. He lost his ability to raise my blood pressure from that day forward and I now enjoy his acting [though not his directing, he's just too slavishly derivative of his mentor, Robert Altman] with a clear conscience.

Face it gang, very few members of the artistic community have, had or ever will measure up to our behavioral and political standards [would you have let your daughter date Errol Flynn?]. This does not mean we should not gleefully stick it to them whenever we can [and do our best to stand by those few we admire]. I believe The Reagans represents a sea change in america's relations with it's entertainers. There may be no such thing as bad publicity for hollywood's denizens but their corporate sponsors and advertisers cannot afford to be so dismissive of their customers. TVland can rant and rave over this fact, heap Emmys on The Reagans and Angels in America, deride Seventh Heaven, and cancel Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman to their heart's content, but us Great Unwashed do not like being spat on and shat on and the sooner the dream factories acknowledge this and "give the customer what they want" [remember that phrase?] they will continue to hemorrhage viewers and dollars and they are slowly starting to realize this.

I have never likes this person. She is a disgusting women. She gets what she deserves.
