Interesting musical link today...thanks.

It seems like everyone has been making lists lately of all the big mouths in Hollywood who like to spew their hate speech against President Bush and share their ignorance about foreign affairs. There's even a website dedicated to the subject: www.hollywoodhalfwits.com.

But is there a Festivus for the rest of us? Little by little, conservatives, or at least supporters of President Bush, are making themselves known, sometimes against their own better judgment.


Here's a list, with quotes:


1. Shlomo Goldberg. Who is Shlomo Goldberg? Try actor Steve Bond, who played "Jimmy Lee Holt" on General Hospital. He called into the Larry Elder show on Monday to come out as a conservative, who, to top it off, was born in Israel. Steve spoke eloquently about the liberals' foolish faith in the U.N. inspectors. Someone give this guy a good role!


2. James Woods: "I like the Rumsfeld approach to things, you know. If they're not right, shoot ‘em. I’m not about appeasing any of these crappy little Arab states that want to hold us hostage with oil, you know, and decide they’re going to use terrorism or state support it." (from the Conway & Steckler show)


3. James Earl Jones: Said he doesn't oppose U.S. military action in Iraq, provided the country gets involved as soon as necessary and stays to finish the job. (from Fox News)


Kelsey Grammer: ``The thing I most respond to in the political arena is people that actually don't play politics, and I think President Bush comes from a place that is sincere.'' (from AP via NYT)

Heather Locklear: "He's a scumbag," said the vixen of "Spin City" and formerly of "Melrose Place." But Locklear was quick to clarify: She was talking about President Josiah Bartlet, played by Martin Sheen. (from the Weekly Standard)

(the following is according the the Philadelphia Enquirer:)

Babylon Five's Tracy Scoggins


Senator-turned-Law-&-Order-star Fred Thompson: "Thank goodness we have a President with the courage to protect our country."

Libertarians: Drew Carey, Lisa Kennedy, Kurt Russell, Penn and Teller, Tommy Chong, Russell Means

John Malkovich: caused an outcry last summer when he told a group of Cambridge students he'd like to shoot a certain anti-Israel, anti-American member of Parliament.


Conservative Everybody Loves Raymond star Patricia Heaton is honorary chairperson of Feminists for Life.

Emma Caulfield, who plays Anya on Buffy the Vampire Slayer: "Identifies herself as a Republican, and has said she would take a break from acting to actively campaign for Elizabeth Dole, in the event that Ms. Dole runs for president again in a future election." (from Internet Movie Database)


Ron Silver: "I kind of like Rumsfeld's 'old Europe versus the new Europe,' and we saw it in the last two weeks, with France and Germany, who were not with us on June 6, 1944, I don't know why we expect them to be with us today."


R. Lee Ermey, a former Marine who played the scary drill sergeant in Full Metal Jacket: "Once again, Barbra Streisand has opened her alligator-sized mouth wide before her hummingbird brain has had a chance to catch up. Ms. Streisand does not speak for me or many other folks in this business."

Bruce Willis, White House spokesman for children in foster care: Willis purchased 12,000 boxes of girl Scout cookies from his 8-year-old daughter Tallulah Belle to support military personnel serving in the Middle East. His cookies were given to Marines and Sailors onboard the amphibious assault ship USS Wasp, the aircraft carrier USS John F. Kennedy, and Army and Air Force personnel in Afghanistan.

Arnold Schwarzenegger: may run as a Republican for governor of California.

Dennis Miller on Hardball: Matthews: “Did you vote for him?” Miller: “Yes I did.” Matthews: “First time you voted Republican? I feel like I’m Brian Lamb here.” Miller: “Well, you know, a gentleman doesn’t kiss and tell. I’ll tell you about Bush, but I, you know I-” Matthews: “Are you a lifelong Republican or a lifelong Democrat?” Miller: “I was a lifelong Democrat for a long time.” Matthews: “Did you switch for Bush?” Miller: “Well I switched for other reasons. I began to find the dialogue on the left side of it to be getting a little strident."

Norm McDonald: where is he?

Charlton Heston on Today Show: Lauer demanded: "Have you ever gotten up one morning, read the newspaper or seen the news about a particularly horrific crime or event that involved a shooting and thought even for a second, I may be on the wrong side of this issue?"
Heston: "No I never felt that."

Fred hits a homer today, ACe.Me thinks he knew Grannie when she was young and on the market ;-)

[grannie9]

WAIT A MINUTE............WAIT A DARNED MINUTE HERE...!!!!

Who took me off the market????

Boy, some people are really pushing it!

I'll decide when I"m too old to rumble... 8^{

An old man was sitting on a bench at the mall. A young man walked up to the bench and sat down. He had spiked hair in all different colors: green, red, orange, blue and yellow.

The old man just stared. Every time the young man looked, the old man was staring. The young man finally said sarcastically, "What's the matter old timer, never done anything wild in your life?"

Without batting an eye, the old man replied, "Got drunk once and had sex with a parrot. I was just wondering if you were my son."

[grannie9]

Just read "Fred". I'm soooooooooo glad I grew up in another world..and I'm so glad my daughters followed me and not those weirdo wimmin living/dying on the grape rape vine of today..

Hurray for men and all they stand for..

Please pass the smorgasbord.. ;)

[Darksheare]

Darn, I didn't think of it while they were here.
Now they're roaming free.

Thanks for the George Carlin.

Fred on Everything sure came in at a 5***** today, didn't he? I'd been wondering how to take that Harvard incident with a grain of salt, and he had a whole truckload.

Love the gable house too, it is part of my wife's favorite story.

I wonder what March 7 will have for us in the news... Russia won't allow us to go to war by using the veto and Hans Blix makes another stupendous report(</ sarcasm>)

That pic of Arches? Now add a steamy cup of fresh hot chocolate, a little fire, some dandy pastries, and a day to go wandering in a search of a magic arroyo...

[Sundog]

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower
viewpoints; we spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy it less.

We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; we have more degrees, but less sense;
more knowledge, but less judgment; more experts, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get angry too quickly, stay up
too late, get up too tired, read too seldom, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life; we've added years to life, not life to years.

We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor. We've
conquered outer space, but not inner space; we've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul; we've split the atom, but not our prejudice.

We write more, but learn less; we plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait; we have
higher incomes, but lower morals; we have more food, but less appeasement; we build more computers to hold more
information to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication; we've become long on quantity, but short
on quality.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; tall men, and short character; steep profits, and shallow
relationships. These are the times of world peace, but domestic warfare; more leisure, but less fun; more kinds of food,
but less nutrition.

These are days of two incomes, but more divorce; of fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips,
disposable diapers, throw away morality, one-night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer
to quiet to kill.

It is a time when there is much in the show window and nothing in the stockroom; a time when technology has brought
this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to make a difference, or to just hit "Skip Ahead"...

Great post there Dog...I just came here from a sad thread that asks why no one is hiring folks in America today.

There's lots of folks that are really hurting out there; not slackers or losers, or moochers, but the kind of people that have always worked for other people or companies - they're out of work and they're scared for their future and for their families.

Here in Austin, there are many small, boutique type business that have folded and shut their doors as many of us have stopped spending money on what has to be called frivolous items.

I believe that our country is going into a lock-down mode until this war business is decided, one way or the other. The uncertainty raised by saddam destroying three missiles a day, and Blix saying that he's "encouraged," is a slow death by a thousand cuts for us.

There's lots of us who have worked hard and "played by the rules" all our lives and were looking forward to easy times in our later days - what I see is the government jerking around, trying to make everyone happy while not changing any of the immigration/border problems and at the same time trying to keep the worthless UN happy.

Rant/off.

Cheers to one and all.
