I don't see how FR would be involved in any such thing--just that there might be those who'd know how to do it. Rush, for instance.

You sound a tad star-struck, looking at your posts.

I know quite a few of those, having had the misfortune of close contact with a celebrity (however third-string, unravelling, or hasbeen). Celebrity in the US is a disease, a pathology.

At some point, Hollywood is at least going to have to hear that there's a huge audience that doesn't appreciate being insulted, condemned, cursed at by these fatuous twerps.

They promote Michael Moore. They put little unfunny Republican jokes everywhere like product placement of Pepsicola. They raise money for disaster relief, but it's just an opportunity for a self-adoring Bush-hating rant. You'd be surprised how much of their donated time is eaten up in all the expensive perks they expect just getting to the theatre...

Spoiler alerts are one of those traditional considerations that conservatives would give to fellow conservatives. You might call it a form of ethical absolutism. Liberals expect that courtesy while extending none of their own...they are relativists enjoying the comforts of an absolutist protection.

I don't know how to bring it about--but if a thriller's premise is based on yet another insult to blue-staters...spoil it.

And yet...a Conservative children's book is climbing the bestseller list. And for a giggle, pick up People Magazine this week. Renee Zellwegger's 10 second marriage is over, as is Tori Spelling's. Aaron was wise to spend a mere 1 million on that wedding. Looks like he'll be shelling out more bucks down the line...

Good God, no! I'm definitely not starstruck. In fact, I'm quite cynical about it. Now, I do admire entertainers for their talents but I couldn't care less about what they wear or who they are dating or when they had their appendix out.
