I was actually planning on doing a DUFU about either the DUmmies or KOmmies biting their fingernails over the survival of public option in ObamaCare. Right now they are acting as if their very existence depends on public option remaining. However, I find the constant micro-analysis of each little nuance and twitch of the various Senators and Congress folks to be highly annoying. Like their self-absorbed neurosis was making me neurotic reading about it. Therefore I decided to go with the FUn THREAD, "Actors you were bummed to find out were Republican..." At least one of the actors mentioned actually surprised me since I would have never guessed him to be a Republican. So let us now watch the DUmmies get bummed out over Republican actors in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, reminding everybody that Lou Costello was a conservative Republican (really), is in the [brackets]:
Actors you were bummed to find out were Republican...
[John Wayne?]
Robert Downey, Jr.
Can't believe he went all Pro Bush...
[I have to admit this actually surprised me as well. Even more of a surprise than finding out that Richard Feynman was also a Republican.]
Tom Selleck. I thought he would be too smart for it.
[I figured Selleck for a conservative...which is why Rosie O'Donnell went nuts on him.]
Jimmy Stewart. From all his movies you got the idea that he was an empathetic humanist. He was a solid repub though.
[No surprise there. I already knew this about Jimmy.]
If he were alive today, I think he wouldn't still be a republcian.
[Somehow I can't picture Jimmy Stewart hanging out with the ACORN crowd.]
William Holden and Barbara Stanwyck... were two more old school republican, Eisenhower types
[William Holden was Best Man at Ronald Reagan's wedding. Barbara Stanwyck? She was the wife of Robert Taylor who testified in Congress about the Reds in Hollywood.]
Bruce Willis, Dennis Hopper
[And Willis had the sense to ditch that airhead Demi Moore.]
wow, would not have expected Dennis Hopper that is sad
[May we send you a consolation card?]
Patricia Heaton. I absolutely despise her since I found out she's a Republican. Especially after I read some of the comments she has made. Blech!!! That's the only one that bothers me. Don't have any negative feelings about the others I know of who are Republican.
[Send her to The Hague for political Thought Crimes.]
I can't watch her anymore. She is a good comedic actress. However, once I know something like that, it just destroys my image of them.
[Is Playboy Playmate Petra Verkaik a Republican? Somehow I don't think her politics would be my main concern if I ever happen to bump into her.]
Robert Duvall. he's a REAL asshole, too. smug, arrogant, uber macho prick. so that makes it easier to loathe him, unlike Downey, who I've always liked a lot can't believe he swings that way must've been all the drugs
[Was Gabby Hayes a Republican? That knowledge would greatly influence how I perceive Roy Rogers movies.]
What??? Robert Downey Jr.?? Is that true? I had not heard that. My wife will be crushed when she hears this -- he is one of her favorite actors.
[Your wife will have to retire her bong pipe.]
Clint Eastwood
[Kind of hard to think of Dirty Harry as a kneejerk liberal.]
Stallone. Who coulda guessed?
[Easy to guess that when you watch the Rocky Balboa movies.]
Gary Sinese
[No surprise there. And I've been a big fan of his since watching him in "True West." A great play.]
John Voight
[No surprise now but years ago I sort of had him pegged for a liberal.]
Jim Caviezel
[Jesus was a Republican. Remember that.]
Mary Tyler Moore told Parade last year how much she loves Bill O'Reilly and said she'd campaign for McCain/Palin if asked
[FUn Fact: Morey Amsterdam from the Dick Van Dycke show was a big supporter of Ronald Reagan.]
Adam Sandler shattered my illusions.
[Another Republican. I loved him as Dave Buzznik in "Anger Management." Was Dr. Buddy Rydell also a Republican?]
Phyllis Diller.
[Bob Hope must have rubbed off on her.]
Here is a list of them: MEATLOAF? And, Cindy Williams of Lavern & Shirley
[I never thought about it before but Meatloaf's political leanings surprises me as well.]
R. Lee Ermey is a Republican?!
[How could you possibly think that Sgt. Hartman would be a liberal Democrat?]
Micky Dolenz of the Monkees. He apparently appeared as a headline act at a teabag event in Texas. Bummer.
[Peter Tork?]
Drew Carey. Majorly bummed about that
[Then I better not tell you about Lou Costello.]
I forced my wife to learn a mac and now she LOVES it. She still uses VMware Fusion to use MS Money but other than that...
None in the B-17. He had been a B-17 Instructor pilot in the US, but his operational missions were in the B-24 Liberator.
LOF! (Lots of fear!) I can’t go into the kitchenware section of Wal Mart without breaking down. PTSD induced by skillets.
parsy, who is still in the frying pan, metaphorically speaking
I'm coming off a coupon high from a couple of weeks ago when I bought about $500 worth of TGI Fridays dinner snacks for nothing! No kidding. The heartbreaking thing was that I had to give most of that food away due to limited freezer space. Only about 35 frozen snacks could fit there at a time. If I had a floor freezer I probably could have stored at least 200 such snacks there. Enough to last us over a month of freebie chow.
I really don’t think Neil Peart is a Republican. For one thing, he lives in Canada. He used to be very Ayn Rand-ian in his younger years, but he seems more “progressive” nowadays. I read his autobiography and he didn’t strike me as very right wing. Mostly, he’s just empty now, after the death of his daughter and then his wife.
PJ, Is that K-Mart coupon promotion nationwide?
I have a huge stash of coupons and if it’s available here I know where I am going tomorrow.
Keep your guitar close. It’ll never hit you with a skillet.
Did you forget DeeDee Ramone?
Downey’s Tropic Thunder gig may be one of the best comedic performances of the last 20 years.
It seems to me that people like Downy, Meatloaf, Rourke, Beck, etc. who go through recovery come out the other end conservative and for good reason - they know what faith in a higher power is really about, why principles are important, and how enabling doesn’t help anybody.
Yup! But better check with the store manager first. Also when you buy stuff, you should get a $5 off $50 coupon for your next purchase. My advice is to concentrate on the $2 coupons. Tylenol cost me almost nothing. Mouthwash cost me nothing. Visine...nothing. I had some $2 coupons for Lea & Perrins Worchester saurce so I should have paid nothing for that BUT for some reason they didn't have any at the K-Mart I was at. A-1 sauce yes, but not Lea & Perrins.
p.s. And when using the $5 off $50 coupon make SURE you give the cashier that coupon before handing over the manufacturer's coupons.
OMG! That is unbelievable. I have a freezer, but I keep it full of bread for the raccoons. They’re on the porch now, eating dog food and bread.
parsy, who shares with the little guys
Aren’t Drew Carey and Rush Limbaught friends? That might have been a clue. But we ARE talkig DUmmies.
It was a hilarious performance. He was nominated for best Supporting Actor but didn’t win.
Yeah, two weeks ago was an incredible time for coupons at Publix. Not only did I get free TGI Fridays snacks but I also got free Porterhouse steaks, free beer, and a lot of other free stuff or close to free. Just using coupons strategically. My wife got a little disgusted with me for gorging down two steaks at a time and guzzling down beer but, hey, it was free...or really close to it. $500 worth of stuff and I don't think I paid any more than 10 bucks for all of it.
I do, however, have this thing I do with CVS and their CVS bucks.
I buy whatever they refund the entire amount back and use the CVS bucks the next week for whatever to buy more stuff, using manufacturer coupons as well. If it's something I don't use I donate it to the church for the food pantry. (Food stamps can't be used for toiletries, paper goods, or cleaning supplies.)
I am going to call K-Mart right now and see what they are offering. (I don't want to waste time sorting coupons if it isn't offered here.)
YOU ARE RIGHT!!! I called and she said they double up to $2.00!
Going to sort coupons now.
Thanks, PJ! I owe you!
