Just thought of this - Where are the comments lately from Julia "Bush is NOT MY President" Roberts ? She has been awfully quiet. Maybe her new husband told her to stop whining.

(shhhh)

Thanks, Doug. That's very sweet.

I saw "A Mighy Wind" today. It's the mockumentary from Christopher Guest and Michael McKean spoofing the folk era. Very funny. You'd love the fake folk music. It's much sweeter than "This is Spinal Tap", but not quite as funny.

Excellent piece, Deb. It's so maddening when you hear the drivel that comes out of an entertainer's mouth. My list of actors that I would watch is getting smaller and smaller. If we wanted to listen to them spout politics, we would vote them into office, since they are not politicians, they should shut their flaps and ACT.

[Deb]

Both Ed Norton and his girlfiend Salma Hayek, take every opportunity to trash Bush and the US. They're especially obnoxious when out of the country.

[Deb]

The last thing I remember coming from Ms. Roberts was,

"Republican comes between reprehensible and reptile in the Dictionary".

I don't know what that means, but I don't think she likes us.

FOLK SONG

[timydnuc]

When it comes to a boycott of hollywood, I do it my way. We go to our cabin with no computer and an old antanna tower TV. We have a CD player, but we have films like "Patriot". We have a family of Bald Eagles that just had 2 babies. I can stand on the front pourch of my cabin and watch these birds play, and hunt. I can stand on my dock and fly fish in the morning, before the sun sets it's self in the morning sky. I can fix a pot of coffee and wake my wife with breakfast in bed, after I have done early morning fishing in my boat. That can't come close to watching some movie, most of which are a waste of time. We have 4 channels on the TV up there, but we don't watch much. We use the CD for music more than movies. A good fire at the end of the day is just perfect for the end of the day. That's entertainment! I move slower at our cabin, I'm in true relax mode. We don't worry, we just live a life of relax.

Hollywood wants to control our lives by what they produce, but we have the choice. I wish all of you could have the enjoyment we have from our cabin. It is an investment that endures our lives. It's our island of sanity in the rat race of the life that we live.

Wonderful piece Deb.

What you are experiencing I have been practicing for at least 10 years now. Surfing the DirectTV movie channels is an interesting experience. I check out the movie to see what it's about and glance at the actors and directors to allow my version of your virus to react. It works perfectly on Woddie Allen and Whoopi Goldberg, Barbra Streisand, Susan YouKnowWho and her mate Tim WhatsHisName and many, many others. I haven't seen any of their stuff in so long I can't remember what they even look like.

I ran to the window and screamed down the hill to the cocooned drivers on the Hollywood freeway, "THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!!!!!"

When did you move? East or West hills?

Correction: she said...between reptile and repulsive...;^D

[RedWing9]

It just doesn't taste (wine, cheese) or smell as good (perfume) as it used to.

Always been an Italian Red for me... Especially the swanky kind with 2 legs, if ya know what I mean...

[RedWing9]

Great writing Deb... Kudos...

[hope]

I know whatcha mean..

I have watched "Quigley Down Under" with dreamy Tom Selleck twenty five times in the past 3 months...What a wonderful replacement that I will never grow tired of.

[Cultural Jihad]

Excellent essay.

[Kenno]

Actually, it was "reptile" and "repugnant."

Question: why do these ultra-rich, decadent snobs spend the time hating Republicans? They have everything they could ever desire, yet they spend most of their lives openly desiring the deaths of people who have not a tenth of their wealth. It would be like me obsessively hating someone living at the Salvation Army.

[I'm ALL Right!]

I'm with you there! Don't forget Kevin Spacey. UGH.

I think TOM SELLECK should run for office and oust old what's his face. I refuse to say his name, it offends me. (I stood 5 feet from him about 2 years ago. To put it as a true freeper: He's hugh! He would TOWER over old what's his name. He's about 6'4 or something close to that.) Of course, Tom wouldn't be happy to deliver the liberal-propaganda-disguised-as-a-script-for-a-TV-show for them weekly, so he couldn't accept the job.

[Deb]

Didn't move. I'm in the same ole Hollywood Hills north of Highland.

[Deb]

Well, maybe if someone invited us, we could all watch the baby birds.
