In contrast to the ideals, opinions and feelings of today's "Hollywonk" the real actors of yesteryear loved the United States. They had both class and integrity. With the advent of World War many of our actors went to fight rather than stand and rant against this country we all love. They gave up their wealth, position and fame to become service men & women, many as simple "enlisted men." This page lists but a few, but from this group of only 18 men came over 70 medals in honor of their valor, spanning from Bronze Stars, Silver Stars, Distinguish Service...

HERO Op-Ed - Today’s Academy Awards 03-23-03 To borrow the motto from the Post Office, "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night" and now we add our ender: "Nor our American soldiers fighting in Operation Iraqi Freedom will stay rabid anti-war Hollywood actors from the swift destruction of their careers". Having learned nothing from what the Dixie Chicks have experienced over the last two weeks when lead singer, Natalie Maines stated in Europe that she was "ashamed that President Bush is from Texas", and watched their radio air time plummet, protests with people crushing their cd’s, and...

03-23-03 - We were beginning to think that we wouldn't have a nominee for this week's Hall of Fame Award, as there was no new news from Hollywood in support of the president. Today from www.thestate.com, we've been given a reprieve. Dennis Franz's, star of NYPD Blue, views were expressed in this article from The State:, One thing is certain. "NYPD Blue" hasn't reached that point yet. One reason audiences keep coming back is the series manages to remain topical. That was never more evident than the first episode of the 2001-02 season. Airing less than two months after the...

HOW MUCH MUST YOU SUCK TO LOSE A POPULARITY CONTEST WITH SADDAM? Mar 20 2003 Michael Moore   Dear Governor Bush, So today is what you call "the moment of truth". I'm glad to hear it has finally arrived. Because, I gotta tell ya, having survived 443 days of your lying and conniving, I wasn't sure I could take much more. As it's Truth Day, I have a few truths I'd like to share with you: There is virtually no one in America (talk-radio nutters and Fox News aside) who is gung-ho about going to war. Trust me. Try to...

3-12-03 - Country singer, Darryl Worley has written a wonderful song called "Have You Forgotten?" set to be released on April 15th. Darryl appeared on Hannity and Colmes on Fox News on Monday and stated that his song is not getting air play.
