Hollywood Idiocy (I know, that's redundant)

From ET Online:

"Many stars were taken aback by the news of the journalists' injuries. 'We need journalists to be that close to the war,' 'Commander in Chief' star GEENA DAVIS told ET. 'It's obviously a personal choice for him but I think there are people like him who want to get the real story and they are willing to put themselves in harm's way -- that's sort of been their code of ethics for a long time, and it kills you to hear something like that. But how grateful do we have to be that there are people willing to risk their lives.'

'Lost' star JOSH HOLLOWAY is grateful for the risks the journalists take to cover the war. 'To put yourself in harm's way like that to put the truth out there so things can be done about it is extremely honorable,' he said. 'Journalists have been killed -- I just want them to come home.' "

Good God! JOURNALISTS have been killed?! Well that's it then! Let's bring all the journalists home now! No blood for ink!!

No seriously. Are you trying to tell us, Josh, that journalists who put themselves in harm's way are "putting the truth out there?" What truth? That war is dangerous?! I mean, hey, thanks Bob for putting yourself in harm's way for us. What would the free world be without you out there risking life and limb for a story?

So ET, I'm just curious -- did any glamour puss that you interviewed on the red carpet give a rat's ass about the brave men and women of our armed forces and those of the coalition who are risking their lives for freedom, for the truth?

Sheesh. Hollywood. Shut up!

As the Blog Turns...

Gee. I have found myself fascinated by the soap opera unfolding in the comments section of this blog since last night. One little mention on a controversial Democrat's blog and it's High Noon on ConservaChick! (Yes, I'm laughing while I type this.) For those of you who have no idea what's happening in the ever-expanding comments section , join the club! Here's what I know about Mark Nickolas from bits and pieces I've read on his blog, and from a local news report: Nickolas likes to sneer at Republicans and call them snide little nicknames as he provides his "Unfiltered and Candid Look at Politics, Politicians and the Media in Kentucky;" he raised a ruckus within the Democrat party here in Kentucky by filing a suit against the chairman of the party , Jerry Lundergan; and he will be appearing on the same panel with yours truly on Thursday night. That's about it. You now have the benefit of my not-so-extensive knowledge on this subject. Nickolas poste...

Friday Night with Hugh and Friends

The consummate Conservative host, Hugh Hewitt, and yours truly! Shameless of me to post this, I know; however, I'm too jazzed to care. :-p What a wonderful way to spend a Friday night! After an hour or so wandering through some of the exhibits at the Frazier Historical Arms Museum, I then got to spend three hours with Hugh Hewitt and 599 other fans of his show. I absolutely MUST say that not only was Hugh wonderful and the live show very entertaining, but his fans are absolutely the nicest people! I've seen other radio talk show s done live and mingled with fans of those shows. Hugh Hewitt's fans are the nicest, most down to earth, friendly people I've ever met. It's quite a credit to Hugh that he draws such a fan base. If you haven't been to the Frazier Historical Arms Museum here in Louisville, it's a must-see. The museum shows an amazing artistry with the exhibits and places them in the context of the times in a very entertaining and educationa...

Is conscription the prescription?

US Representative, Charlie Rangel (D-NY) is at it again. Rangel's prescription for fixing the ills we're feeling in Iraq is a draft . I have very mixed feelings about this. Conscription is conscription no matter what you choose to label it. Is that appropriate in a free country? On the flip side of this coin, I've often thought that compulsory national service would be a great idea for American kids right out of high school. It might have been a better start for me than learning to down beer at a Liberal Arts university! Two years in the service might give kids time to think about their future, learn higher levels of responsibility, and begin to take life more seriously. There are many countries who require some level of mandatory military service: Belarus, Chile, China, Croatia, Serbia, Russia, Iran, Lebanon, our neighbor Mexico, and our old buddy Germany, to name a few. Gee, now that I look at that partial list... aren't many of those countries Socialist or at battl...
