I love it.
The Republican party reptile nails it yet again...
"The countrys in the very best of hands, the best of hands, the best of hands."
Bravo
Why hasn't Hollywood thought of this brilliant idea before?!
Ah yes, but of course........they are liberals.
I have to remember this quote!

Oh, Brother..
Much Worse than pissing P.J. off, is (pity the fool) boring him..
That's a very smart comment, hosepipe!
Thanks!.........I wonder how much Babs in Malibu would consider contributing........or Whoopi (also in Malibu)......or Michael The Gross......None of these people would put their money where they big, fat mouths are!
All I had to hear was that Cher not only demanded her own private jet to transport her to Hillary's August, 2000 "Gala Fund Raiser" in Follywood, but she required a specific model of private jet, plus a fee for her bringing her gracious self to the event!
Thanks for such a clever comment, hosepipe! It really added ZEST to the thread!

the Big B needs to see this
I thought of this seriously a few years back, but was unable to figure out how to make it "seem fair". I wanted to tax sequin gowns or Hummers over 30 ft. or some such. The best I could come up with is just another line on the 1040 that said "Amount derived from in front of a camera or behind a podium_________, times 4=_________, minus contributions to CPAC,________, add to line 37 as AMT.
How about this:
Argue that anyone that can afford to pay for entertainment can afford to "help those in need". So instead of taxing celebrities directly, put a sales tax on entertainment services or items purchased.
Or better yet, argue that people should be saving their extra money for retirement anyway instead of spending it on entertainment, so use the tax to pay for social security.
You could even shift taxes in such a way that those in industries that produce essential goods and services (ie, everyone not in the entertainment biz) pay a much reduced tax rates. Then raise regular taxes to "pay for" these expensive tax cuts. We don't want to bust the budget afterall now, do we?
PING to the REPUBLICAN PARTY REPTILE Ping list! What is the Republican Party Reptile? It is a creature of the eighties. Its neoconservatism with its pants down around its ankles, the Rehnquist Supreme Court on drugs, a disco Hobbes living without shame or federally mandated safety regulations. The Republican Party Reptile supports a strong defense policy, but sees no reason to conduct it while sober. The RPR believes in minimum government interference in private affairsunless the government brings over extra girls and some ice. In short, the RPR is the new label that our political spectrum has been crying out forthe conservative with a sense of humor and a healthy dose of depravity.
thanks for the ping!
Honestly, I don't think that there's that big of a difference in the with make-up/without make-up shots on most of them. - Cameron Diaz is the exception!!
