Addressing a packed Hviezdoslavovo Square in Bratislava, Slovak Republic, President Bush today hailed images of "jubilant Iraqis dancing in the streets last month, holding up ink-stained fingers."

"In recent times, we have witnessed landmark events in the history of liberty: A Rose Revolution in Georgia, an Orange Revolution in Ukraine, and now, a Purple Revolution in Iraq."

And the winner is .... The Color Purple

I like this. It also sticks a purple finger in Oprah's eye for saying "Make books, not war" when she used her "star power" to take a poke at the Iraqi War. Wonder what Oprah thinks now with all the purple fingers shown during the elections.

Should the ladies wear
black boots on Sunday? :)

[Rakkasan1]

one of those sports inspired foam "# 1 " fingers

OR

dress up like an Iranian mullah and wear a sign reading:

"Mullahs for Moore"

"Trinity" (from Matrix) boots are OPTIIONAL. :o)

Otherwise, Jeffers is recommending that everyone wear BRIGHT RED...

...so that we stand out in the crowd.

one of those sports inspired foam "# 1 " fingers

We just finished painting ONE HUNDRED (100) giant white foam hands last night.

They are almost TWO FEET high, and now all have purple index fingers...

...and will be distributed to the first hundred people who arrive at our rally.

Set your TiVo for the pre-Oscars Red Carpet ceremonies!

Our intention is to get those "purple fingers" spread out all around the outside the Kodak Theatre...

...so that WHEREVER the camera pans to get a "crowd shot" -- they will see our FINGERS. :o)

Tonight LAURA INGRAM stated on MSNBC's John Scarborough TV Show that Hollywood should make more Movies that Americans really applauds like:

"BRAVEHEART"
"WE WERE SOLDIERS"
"The PASSION of the Christ"


From 1 year ago today:

MEL's -PASSION- sparked by -WE WERE SOLDIERS-

From Merriam-Webster Online:

re·con·nais·sance - "a preliminary survey to gain information;
especially : an exploratory military survey of enemy territory."

I spent a BIG chunk of Friday night on a recon mission -- right in the belly of the beast, and HERE are my recommendations:

1 - RALLY START POINT: Hollywood & HIGHLAND
(NOT Hollywood and WHITLEY)
We will have to promote the "Thank you, Hollywood" billboard in some other way.
It is just TOO FAR away from the "main event" at Hollywood & Highland.

2 - PARKING: 1718 N. Cherokee Ave.
(just north of Hollywood Blvd, near Musso & Frank's Grill)
Parking inside a SAFE, guarded building -- only $6 for all day.
Only two short blocks to the rally .

3 - COLOR: Wear something BRIGHT RED
Or PURPLE, if you prefer
We want to STAND OUT in the crowd.
We plan to pass out the giant purple fingers some time after noon - first come, first serve.

4 - post-Rally FOOD and FELLOWSHIP: International House of Pancakes
Hollywood I.H.O.P. - 7006 W. Sunset Blvd., at Orange Dr.
One block SOUTH on Highland, one block WEST on Sunset.
We can WALK there after the rally, and their prices are reasonable.
They are currently holding space in their back room for a party of TWENTY.
We will probably DOUBLE that number, and they will still have room for us.

How about a big poster of Forest Gump sitting there saying: "Hollywood is like a bowl of granola, if it ain't a nut, it's probably a fruit."

[Dutchgirl]

Drawing a blank

How about a play on any of these nominated films and actors...

Like "Hollywood- Eternal Sunshine of Clueless Minds." Or "Even 'RAY' could see the Liberal Bias in Hollywood." "INCREDIBLE"-ly (fill in the blank...)

I wish a glove-maker would come out with gloves with ONE finger in purple, for the index finger of the right hand. I'd buy a pair for each of my family members and would wear those gloves all winter long! LOL
