Hey, like anyone else is doing any good? What the hell, this might be fun to watch.

Are they part of that "shadow government" that the media wanted after Pres. Bush beat Former Vice Pres. Al Gore, Jr.?
To: SJackson
Their agents tell them they are God's gift to humanity, and they believe it. All in all, actors are the most dimwitted characters in Hollywood. Believe me. At least directors and producers have to think a bit to do their jobs. Not that there aren't nutters among them. But all in all, actors aren't very bright. When you have more money than you'll ever need, when you've shopped till you've dropped, solving the Middle East issue seems like a nice flight of fancy.

"Using issues raised in myriad proposals that have floated between the warring sides over the past decade, voters will be asked to develop a template for their leaders to reach a peace agreement, said Mohammad Darawshe, a prominent Arab-Israeli civic leader who helped found the initiative."
I wonder if these actors have bothered to look underneath the rocks.

This might be interesting. I don't hold a lot of hope for it, but at least it's a more productive approach than any of the Hollyweird crowd has taken so far.

It`s called EGO...It`s what happens when your constantly surronded by sycophants who tell you "your a genius, you are so good, you are making history" when the fact of the matter is your nothing more than a high paid version of the 3rd grader who acts in his school play, and who is probably high paid either because of nepotism or being a pretty boy or girl. There was an article on Freep a few months ago that listed the highest education of these actors, and most never made it past high school, if they even MADE it to high school. And once again, that goes back to nepotism. Why finish school when your parents can get you a job at 16 or earlier that pays you millions of bucks? Hollywood is a society of fools, of mutants, who live in a bubble world that is so far removed from reality, and the realities of life, that they should be laughed out of their fat heads everytime they pull this obnoxious ego tripe. Sean Penns "see for himself" tour in Iraq. Being that Seans daddy was a director who got him into acting, I can understand his vast knowledge of the Iraq situation, and I just hope Bush took Seans advice seriously.
Baghdad-Today the inspector returned to Iraq in what was described as a "personal inspection" before deciding on whether or not to give his seal of approval of how things are going in Iraq..The inspection was given such a high level of importance that the President himself accompanied the inspector.
The inspector was met at Jessica Lynch international airport where he was met by General Tommy Franks and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. When asked by a reporter how he thinks things are going to go with the inspection, Secretary Rumsfeld had this to say, "Well things are still pretty hectic here in Baghdad, but we think we have the situation in relatively good control and hope the inspector will give us a thumbs up."
As he got off the plane, the inspector was greeted by General Franks and then allowed to inspect the various troops in detail who were lined up at attention before him with President Bush following behind looking quite nervous. When the inspector came before one particular Marine, he snapped his fingers and General Franks came running over. "General Franks" said the inspector, "Dude, is it part of, the like, you know, protocol to have a Marine missing a button off of his shirt?" General Franks then gave a nervous look at President Bush and then commanded in a loud harsh voice for the offending Marine to step forward whereas he was hauled off to be presumably disciplined. The inspector then gave a slight laugh as he proceeded forward.
Earlier in the day, President Bush gave a speech in front of various military units to explain the importance of getting the approval of the inspector. "I don`t want any foul ups!" Explained the President. Inspections are to resume the entire week with a decision made by the inspector probably by the end of the month......Developing

Extremely naive and full of themselves, but you are right nothing else is working, not that this will but what further harm can they (the actors that live in a much different world than all of us, especially those in the Middle East) do. Some of them might even come out of the experience with a bit more understanding of the situation than they had when they went in. I don't find fault with people who at least "do something" rather than just sit back in the ivory palaces and bitch about things, even when I think what they are doing is a waste of time and money, as long as it is their money.

I agree...the left coast needs to be seen doing something positive and it would interesting what spin would be put on the failure when it happens!
How about the rumor that the fires in the west were set by terrorist? Could this be friends of Hollyweird?

So, with all that said, will they then invite the homeless into their homes (read multi-million dollar mansions)?
And how do these rich fat cats plan on ending poverty?
Oh, but wait!! Maybe this is just all about getting face time and media exposure....nahhhh....couldn't be...(/s)
