There are no angels in a Tom Cruise movie...
Now Playing: PLEASE.
Your mission, should you decide to accept it.....
Mission Imp 4.......please don't see this new movie.
Make a stand.
I challenge every sane person that reads any of my blogs, please don't add fuel to the insanity of Tom Cruise and other similiar celebs.
Add your name here and pledge NOT to encourage any more of this
crazy-cruise nonsense.
Furgit Cruise, The Simpsons, Lindsey and Nicole......
anyone watch the Darfur Episode of ER?
http://www.nbc.com/ER/
Hope?
There are other things we need to be watching/thinking about in this day and age.

PS: See Pirates or Poseidon...instead. Because who can resist a Pirate or Kurt Russell for that matter? Just NOT Cruise, OK?????

Late night remote clicking brought about this mish-mash of Americano.
And I'm glad to say, that once again we can see Andy Taylor knows best. In the Andy Griffith Show episode that discovers Otis, the town drunk, is the descendent of all-American war hero Nathan Tibbs.....Otis announces that...."just because a guy's related, that don't mean he's worth anything....."
Click back to The Daily Show with John Stewart and Madelyn Albright discussing Bush.
She states that being invited to a White House meeting with George Bush......"He's just like he is on TV....actually believes what he sez....."
Just because Daddy was President.....
Also Albright notes that Bush truly believes "God wanted him to be President..."
This is a very sad time in our history. God needs to get his priorities straight.
At the moment I'd rather Otis be in the oval office.
At least he'd have Andy as his right-hand man.
Stephen is hard to take...
Now Playing: and totally hilarious!
A blistering comedy "tribute" to President Bush by Comedy Central's faux talk show host Stephen Colbert at the White House Correspondent Dinner Saturday night left George and Laura Bush unsmiling at its close.
Earlier, the president had delivered his talk to the 2700 attendees, including celebrities and top officials, with the help of a Bush impersonator.
I wish I could have been there...

Officer cites 82-year-old woman for being too slow to negotiate busy streetDana Bartholomew, Staff writer
SUNLAND
Mayvis Coyle, 82, was shuffling with her cane across busy Foothill Boulevard while a traffic police officer watched and waited.
And watched and waited.
Even before Coyle finished crossing the intersection at Woodward Avenue, he had scribbled a $114 ticket for crossing against a don't-walk signal. "I entered the crosswalk, it was green," said Coyle, of Sunland, who is fighting the infraction issued Feb. 15. "It turned red before I could get over. There he was, waiting, the motorcycle cop.
"He said, `You're obstructing the flow of traffic."'
Coyle and other seniors at Monte Vista Mobile Estates are up in arms over signals they say are too short to safely cross the five-lane boulevard.
They say signals turn red before they can reach the opposite curb on Sunland-Tujunga's busiest thoroughfare. They risk their lives each time they enter the crosswalk, they insist. At least one resident calls a cab just to cross the street.
"I can go halfway, then the light changes," said Edith Krause, 78, who uses an electric cart because she has difficulty walking. "I try my darndest to get to the other side without being killed."
So many seniors have complained about hasty intersections that Councilwoman Wendy Greuel asked transportation officials last week to study how to accommodate them.
The standard speed used for timing pedestrians is 4 feet per second.
The Coyle incident "has brought to bear an issue that is relatively common," Greuel said. "We should look at those areas with predominantly seniors and accommodate their needs in intersections."
The danger to pedestrians - particularly senior citizens - is acute, Los Angeles police say. Of the 94 pedestrians killed in the San Fernando Valley from 2003-05 while crossing the street, 31 were seniors.
Sgt. Mike Zaboski of the Valley Traffic Division said he couldn't comment on Coyle's ticket, that it was her word against the officer who cited her - identified only as Officer Kelly - as to whether she entered the crosswalk on the green.
"Right now, pedestrian accidents are above normal," he said Friday. "We're looking out for pedestrians - people who think they have carte blanche in crossing the street.
"I'd rather not have angry pedestrians," he said of those like Coyle. "But I'd rather have them be alive."
"It's a safety concern," added Jerry Baik, an assistant supervisor of trials for City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo, whose office prosecutes traffic infractions like Coyle's.
"It's the officer's observation ... that she was acting in a dangerous way to herself as well as oncoming traffic."
Others besides Coyle, however, say signals on Foothill prompt a foot race to the other side.
On Friday, students ran - not walked - to make the lights, measured at 20 seconds from green to red.
"It sucks," said Sara Johnson, 14, of Sunland, who had just scampered with friends across the crosswalk at Woodward. "When the light turns red, you can't cross the street."
Chung Kim, manager of Jimmie Dean's Charbroiled Burgers at Foothill and Woodward, has seen close calls.
"Very hard to cross," he said, watching the intersection from his grill, "because signal's too short, the cars go so fast, every car over 45 miles per hour. It's crazy."
Coyle, a Cherokee medicine woman who splits her time between Sunland and the mountains above Sedalia, Colo., has done everything to fight her ticket, including send letters to Greuel's office.
The octogenarian, who has no phone or car, said she was simply hefting her groceries home when she not only got trapped in a busy intersection but got a ticket from a cop to boot.
"I think it's completely outrageous," said Coyle, wearing an Indian feather cap and homemade rock pendant. "I can't walk without a stick and I lose my balance.
"He treated me like a 6-year-old, like I don't know what I'm doing. I'm in shock that somebody's going to stop me on a green light while crossing the street."

Not a chance in hell. Somethings should be left to the imagination, don't ya think?

Memorable Quotes from
Stuart Saves His Family (1995)[Stuart's show "Daily Affirmations"]
Stuart Smalley: But today, I've decided to take a risk, and wear a new sweater. It was sent to me by a recovering sex addict, Melissa D., who knitted it herself; she said it gave her something to do with her hands.
Al Franken does a hilarious rant on an evening dinner and debate he had with Ann Coulter at the Universal Amphitheatre in L.A. The event was part of a lecture series sponsored by the University of Judaism. I saw him on Letterman last night and it seems he is serious about running for office. Go for it AL! One of the voices that may be
doing rather than just talking.

This comment to his blog post at Huffington, I found very very funny:
*****
Bless you, Ann Coulter for your radiant, dazzling humor. Now that Richard Pryor has departed this vale of tears, you have rightfully assumed the position as the most hilarious person in this surreal world. Sadly, but not surprisingly, the subtlety of your brilliantly dry wit goes completely undetected by the great unwashed.
(They actually think you believe the "opinions" you express... What are they, retarded? No one with an IQ above eleven would believe such putrescence.)
Albeit immodest of me, I used to consider myself the greatest put-on artist who ever trod the boards... I gladly, worshipfully render my crown to you.
I am in awe of your talents.
We must do lunch one day.
