Hey, Henry...

Those people at Cirque du Soleil do some pretty awesome things with their bodies, too. What do you think?

Um, according to a nurse who worked at Walter Reed said in regard to injured soldiers “Slim Jims and wrestling, I don’t understand either one, but it’s what they want”.

Let’s see. That image of of the Human Rat as Superman came from DU. They actually believe guys like him and Schmuck Schumer are heroic. They also believe Obama is going to save us all. I know!

I’m with the director Arinofsky calling for all the wrestlers to get a Screen Actors Guild membership. While not an outright unionization it would get them a load of protections they’ve been needing for decades. Who needs insured medical more than people who need it every third or fourth time performing?

The costs as independent contractors must be eating up the lower tier performers who are out there making the stars look great. No amount of monetary compensation replaces health and shortened lifetime.
