I am sick and tired of seeing theater spelled like theatre. We are not England. I told my movie theater to change it......they had better do it. I can’t stand it.

Is it too soon to blame this on Bush or the Republican senate?

Oprah will claim it was a raciest conspiracy.

It took a power outage in the nations capital to finally get the Oprah Goat to shut up.
