Sorry, sukatra, “David” is not me. I was actually quite ashamed that he caught that before me. But I was very busy at work.

I have actually started a “Word of the Day” email to several people I work with because they have such a limited vocabulary.

And, BTW, you spelled pseudonym just fine.

@12 I agree with your comment to @9

“David” is really MaryLand. MaryLand, you don’t need to use a pseudonym with us.

Impressed I know how to spell that big word? I didn’t even look it up to check. I refuse to look at dictionary.com every time I’m worried I’m spelling something wrong anymore just because i’m afraid of the spellling nazi. NO MORE FEAR!!! NO MORE FEAR!!!

(Hope I spelled it right.)

@8 well I agree with some of his politics, but if all it take is being fair to get a hard on these days why are sales up on viagra?

@9 not your job.

Fame and popularity is part of US culture, so I guess it matters to the majority. Don’t forget, more people vote on American Idol than voted for President of the United States.

It’s stuff like that that makes me want to switch parallel worlds with my double.

I like Tim Robbin’s movies, but that speech he gave made me want to kick him in the head.

We have a lot of cow towing here in the piney woods. Horse towing too. And people who live in tow trailers.

Hang on Kevin you’re a bit off on this one. He was invited to speak and he had it in his contract that there was to be no video or audio taping and according to the narrative his people or the host didn’t turn off the audio, who’s fault is that?

Reasons why on all fronts were not made clear.

Regardless, he wasn’t speaking to the American People he was invited to speak to a bunch of broadcasters, the 4th estate. They know his politics and they had a pretty good idea of what he would say.

Personally, I don’t think his opinion is any more valid than anyone elses, but he still gets one, and let’s not forget it was Reagan who opened wide the Hollywood door to politics and TV that crowned JFK the winner of the debate, while radio said it was Nixon.

The one thing I think we do agree on, the American People have the power. They just need to get off their ass and participate, voting’s just not enough.

Of all the stars I’ve met and done business with, Steve Gutenberg was the realest, most down to earth regular Joe. The rest were like spoiled teenagers or paranoid fiends. Those people live very isolated/insulated lives.

Oh by the way, Kevin, you are SOOO out of touch with your CNN references. That “southern accented” lady is Nancy Grace and she’s moved way off of the peterson case to the Caylee Anthony case. She calls the mom suspected of killing the kid “tot-mom”.

I’ve been wanting to make a video for a while where I tape part of her show and then when she says something particularly egregious I yell at the TV “SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU IDIOT!!!!” Just haven’t done it yet.
