VIDEOTwo flew over the cuckoo's nest but one of them was only faking it and it wasn't Joe Biden.

Louise Fletcher, the Oscar winning actress known for her portrayal of Nurse Ratched in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, has died aged 88. Fletcher's agent said she died at her home in France. The actress set a new standard for screen villains when she played opposite Jack Nicholson in the 1975 movie, for which she would win the Academy Award for best actress, a BAFTA and a Golden Globe. The daughter of deaf parents, the Alabama native was taught to speak by her aunt and from an early age showed an interest in acting. She made her professional debut...

I have watched a lot of local news clips about homelessness over the past few years and this might be one of the best I’ve ever seen. In a little over 7 minutes you get a very up close view of everything that’s going wrong in our cities with the homeless and some insight into why these problems persist despite the pleas of residents for something to change.This particular clip was created by Fox 11 LA and focuses in on a street in Sherman Oaks. For those not familiar with LA geography, Sherman Oaks is a nice suburban area which...

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest,both as book (1962) and movie (1975), was a huge commercial and cultural success. The central dramatic conflict pitted Randall McMurphy, heroic rebel played in the movie by Jack Nicholson, against his nemesis, the cold-hearted bureaucrat Nurse Ratched, played by Louise Fletcher. Not even the most marijuana-marinated hippie could miss the simple-minded duality presented in Ken Kesey's work. Randall McMurphy is a charming, near-perfect free spirit who deserves our love and support. On the other hand, Nurse Ratched is a mean, vicious, horrible person who should be hated by the entire human race. Clearly, Nurse...

One of my all-time favorite novels is Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, later made into an Oscar-winning film. Set in an institution for psychological patients, Cuckoo's Nest was a cautionary tale about all institutions-schools, churches, businesses, government bureaucracies, etc., it dramatized the horrors of what can happen when those in charge hijack an institution and place their own ambitions and lust for power, prestige, and control above the welfare of the very people whom the institution was created to help. The United Nations fits the cuckoo's nest paradigm perfectly. It is ostensibly dedicated to some of mankind's...

Can we get Al Gore on the 2004 ticket? Please? Didn't Bill Clinton tell us he was the greatest vice president in the history of the country? It's not only partisan Republicans who snicker about the new, louder, unhinged Gore. Many Democratic operatives can't keep a straight face or refrain from rolling their eyes as the former vice president tries to roar back onto the political stage. Al Gore is proving to be the most irrelevant, comically absurd former vice president since Spiro Agnew. This blustering Saturday Night Live caricature is no longer a serious political figure. At a MoveOn.org...

CYNTHIA McKINNEY IS AN AMERICAN HERO!My Opinion on the Way You are Handling the McKinney Case by Paul Walker I would appreciate it very much if you would cease the politically-motivated dirt-digging and attacks on Ms McKinney's character and instead do an objective jounalistic investigation into the claims that she has put forward. No matter what her motives may be, the facts are the facts. Fact: Carlyle Group directly benefits from an eternal Orwellian war against the "Evil Ones".Fact: The bin Ladins and the Bushes have been in bed finacially raking in hundreds of millions together on big oil,...
