  • Leaving for Camino de Santiago tomorrow

    Tomorrow morning I board a flight from Malaga to Santiago de Compostela then, 2 buses later, I arrive in Sarria and immediately start walking 20km to Portomarin. Most people who walk from Sarria to Santiago do it in 5 stages but I will be doing it in 6 so I have more time to sightsee along the way, plus I will have 1 full day in Santiago after I arrive and before my flight back. Weather looks good in the 10 day forecast so it should be a good walk.

    It is a moment that MacLaine said she is still trying to cope with days later. 'I think we’re all processing the horror of it. I’m still dealing with it,' MacLaine said in an interview with USA Today. 'I’m concerned with how [Beatty] must have felt, being so close to him. I’m three years older and I’m protective. We know how difficult it was for him, but it was also for me.' Cameras captured the moment the Moonlight cast and crew learned of their win, and MacLaine could be seen in the background gasping, covering her mouth in shock and...
  • Outrage as Shirley MacLaine asks: Were Holocaust victims paying for sins in past lives?

    Her bizarre New Age views on topics such as reincarnation and UFOs have often left the public baffled. Now Shirley MacLaine has provoked widespread fury by claiming the victims of the Holocaust may have brought their fate upon themselves. The veteran Hollywood actress suggests the six million Jews and millions of others systematically murdered in Hitler’s death camps in the 1940s were ‘balancing their karma’ for crimes committed in past lives. She also suggests that cosmologist Professor Stephen Hawking may have subconsciously given himself his debilitating motor neurone disease.

    The Right Frequency Blog ^ | February 10, 2013 | Fred Lucas
    Former New York Mayor Ed Koch, who died earlier this month, was a legendary political figure. Barry Farber was a legendary talk radio host in the Big Apple, whose voice dominated the powerful WOR throughout the 1960s and 1970s. The two larger-than-life figures would face off in 1977, when Koch was seeking his first term as mayor. Farber was interviewed in The Right Frequency: The Story of the Talk Radio Giants Who Shook Up the Political and Media Establishment by Fred V. Lucas (History Publishing Co.). Below is an excerpt: *** Covering a quarter of WOR’s airtime was enough exposure...
  • Don Rickles Shocks Hollywood Crowd With Racial Obama Joke

    Hollywood Reporter ^ | 6/8/12 | Gregg Kilday
    Don Rickles nearly hijacked the American Film Institute’s tribute to Shirley MacLaine on Thursday night at Sony Pictures Studios, unleashing a trademark barrage of insults that took aim at President Obama, Warren Beatty, Jack Nicholson and the honoree herself. “I shouldn’t make fun of the blacks,” Rickles said, and then proceeded to do just that: “President Obama is a personal friend of mine. He was over to the house yesterday, but the mop broke.” The black-tie crowd, gathered to celebrate MacLaine, the 40th recipient of the AFI’s Life Achievement Award, alternately gasped at the 86-year-old comic’s put-downs and then found...

    SW: Do you get any read on the tea party? Do you see that as part of the tension of working things out or the fear that people have? SM: Yeah, I think that's what's happening in the tea party. I'm certainly not a tea partyist. I think most of them are just acting out their frustrations. But their frustrations are deep and real. I mean the feds should have taken over this problem with drug trafficking and illegal immigrants a long time ago. So what you see as the reaction to their not tending to business in Washington [D.C.]...

    Shirley MacLaine cheers Kucinich's UFO-moment Andrew Malcolm & Mark Silva Actress Shirley MacLaine is delighted that her "her close friend" Dennis Kucinich has acknowledged his sighting of a UFO and hopes it will prompt the government to come clean. "I thought that was terrific," MacLaine said in an interview on NBC's Today Show this week. "That a presidential candidate admitted it. It's time. Many countries have released their files -- Argentina has, Brazil, France. Let's do it." It was MacLaine's own memoir -- she is godmother to one of Kucinich's children -- that prompted the Ohio congressman and candidate for...

    Kucinich's Secret Weapon For Kucinich, Honeymoon Phase Begins Before Taking the White House By JENNIFER DUCK and SUNLEN MILLER May 25, 2007 — There is no doubt about it, 2008 presidential candidate Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, stands out. Kucinich is the only candidate who wants to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney over the Iraq War; as he did in the 2004 election, he's proposing a Department of Peace, and has introduced a House bill calling for a universal, single-payer, not-for-profit health care system. And if that weren't enough, the self-proclaimed peace candidate has a secret weapon. Kucinich is the only...
