You have to be kidding!

Sheen: In order to understand this Administration it is helpful to have a background in [Alcoholics Anonymous's] Twelve Step, because it is real clear to those of us who understand the Twelve Step program that these are very dysfunctional times. We live in a very dysfunctional society, and this is a very, very dysfunctional Administration. The proven way for this Administration to keep power is to keep us all in fear. As long as we are afraid of the unknown and afraid of each other, he, or anyone like him, can rule. It's like they will take responsibility for protecting us. It's when we take back the responsibility for protecting ourselves that they get scared. I am amazed by the level of arrogance within the Administration.

I am planning to attend this with costumes; Tux and my mock-oscar and other costumes. I am bringing several friends.

I have been down there a day ahead of the oscar ceremonies last year and traveled there by jumping on the Metro subway starting from the North Hollywood subway station. I know the Hollywood and Highland station will be closed, so we will have to get off at the Hollywood and Gower station across from the Pantages Theater. This will work better since the proposed Freeper meeting place is only a few blocks west of that subway stop near Fredrick's of Hollywood.
Get in touch with me ASAP for this ralley.

EXCELLENT!
(You have FReep-mail.)
We had a strategy session this evening, and decided to go with a fairly POSITIVE message for this FReep:

SHUT UP,
AND
ACT!

Minor nuisance.

It seems that the forces of "tolerance" and "diversity" have VANDALIZED this billboard at Hollywood & Whitley:

Someone has recently chopped off the top of the President's [billboard] head, right at the ears. :(

They have been threatening to rehab this area for 20 years. I guess they finally did it.

UPDATE: President Bush’s billboard head has been returned. :o)

I went back in the daytime, and the billboard is back to normal.
I **know** that it was gone last night, and I have witnesses – but not PICTURES. :(

This afternoon, I talked with a guy who works in the costume store in the building under the billboard.
He says that the billboard WAS in fact vandalized, but that the billboard people were apparently prepared for such an eventuality, and fixed it ASAP.

NEXT time, I will have a digital camera with me.

RALLY (and KERFLUFFLE **)
Oops!

That should have been kerfuffle - with only ONE "L".

From www.worldwidewords.org/weirdwords:

KERFUFFLE

"A commotion or fuss."

You will most commonly come across this wonderfully expressive word in Britain and the British Commonwealth countries (though the White House spokesman Ari Fleischer used it in January this year). It is rather informal, though it often appears in newspapers. One of the odder things about it is that it changed its first letter in quite recent times. Up to the 1960s, it was written in all sorts of ways—curfuffle, carfuffle, cafuffle, cafoufle, even gefuffle (a clear indication that its main means of transmission was in speech, being too rarely written down to have established a standard spelling). But in that decade it suddenly became much more popular and settled on the current kerfuffle. Lexicographers suspect the change came in response to the way that a number of imitative words were spelled, like kerplop and kerplunk.

In those cases, the initial ker– adds emphasis, as it does in other words, perhaps onomatopoeic but perhaps also borrowing the first syllable of crash. But we know kerfuffle was originally Scots and it’s thought that its first part came from Scots Gaelic car, to twist or bend. The second bit is more of a puzzle: there is a Scots verb fuffle (now known only in local dialect), to throw into disorder, dishevel, or ruffle. No obvious origin for it is known and experts suspect it was an imitative word. It is probably linked with Scots fuff, to emit puffs of smoke or steam, definitely imitative, which in the late eighteenth century also had a sense of going off in a huff or flying into a temper.

Some specialists think kerfuffle is also related to the Irish cior thual, confusion or disorder. It seems to be a minority opinion, though.
