Bush in a movie?

This is a little off topic but what the hell, it won't be the first time for any of us.


Watching "The Countdown With Keith Olberman"

Sharon Stone says that she wanted a kissing scene with Halle Berry in their movie Catwoman but the idea was nixed by the producers because of the current puritanical bent in the country caused by President Bush.

Olberman: It isn't the first time bush has played a role in a Sharon Stone movie.

Quick cut to commercial

Re: Jon Stewart -

I adore his irreverant nonsense (and the fact that even though he is quite intelligent he passed himself off as a dancing monkey - his words - at the Democratic convention.

Didn't we all! Those were good times. Do you still have your balloon hat?

Tonight he discussed how all Cheney campaign speech audience members had to sign a loyalty oath before they could attend the speech. <snip>I suppose this is to prevent any hecklers? Dickheads.

Hecklers, maybe. I don't think it's to prevent dickheads.

Maybe signing the oath is practice for the good times ahead!

Ewwww. Thanks for that word-picture, Luc. It's a keeper.

Speak for yourself, pal.



I try to maintain at least a modicum of discipline regarding thread topics, and frankly it ticks me off when -

Jesus! I almost forgot. When is the next comet expected? What was the name of the one back in the mid-nineties? Not Haley's, which was a dud in comparison, but the other one? Anybody?

Sharon Stone says that she wanted a kissing scene with Halle Berry in their movie Catwoman but the idea was nixed by the producers because of the current puritanical bent in the country caused by President Bush.

Olberman: It isn't the first time bush has played a role in a Sharon Stone movie.

Speaking of puritanical and bent, the current climate has drifted beyond our shores. I read a travel review in last Sunday's paper about Galapogos Islands trips with Celebrity Cruise Line. Guess what their naturalist-guide isn't allowed to discuss during his Galapogos lectures?

Evolution.

I guess when he mentions Darwin, he just talks about how "The Beagle" is like, the cutest name ever for a boat. And are those tortoises big, or what?

Jesus! I almost forgot. When is the next comet expected? What was the name of the one back in the mid-nineties? Not Haley's, which was a dud in comparison, but the one I watched just before sunrise while walking on the beach in S. Carolina. It was huge! Like something from a movie. One of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. Did you see it?

And are those tortoises big, or what?

Hale-Bopp

And so slow making love. See do not dare to bump this thread.

Hale Bopp, thank you.

Good names for pet tortoises.

I'm re-reading Paul Krugman's book The Great Unravelling. In it he quotes Henry Kissinger's doctoral thesis about the French Rvolution.

Basically, Kissinger said that revolutionaries have no belief in the legitimacy of the current system and intend current system. They do all they can to overthrow it.

Krugman said he felt a chill when he read the book as he felt Kissinger was talking about the Shrubbies.

And Krugman's right, the Shrubbies are not conservatives, neo or paleo. They are revolutionaries, and in the words of Kissinger, are not only willing, but eager, to push their logic to it's ultimate conclusion.

I now realise why I hope Bush doesn't win. Do you remember what happened the last time America was this polarized? About 140 years ago?

In a small side tangent to this thread I must comment on something we learned while in Michigan.

The Lake Michigan whitefish have recently grown a gizzard.

Yes - an actual gizzard, like in poultry. This "evolution" has happened because of a radical change in their environment. In the past few years there has been an influx of Zebra mussels, little pests that are not indigenous to the Great Lakes.

According to fishermen, fish initially didn't eat the mussels. And once they began, the shells caused havoc on their systems (bloody excretory openings). Sorry.

My relatives (who commercially fish the lakes) said the Lake Huron fish are still developing. But the majority of Lake Michigan whitefish are growing big eating Zebra mussels with their new shell-crushing gizzards.

They have - *gasp* - evolved.

(Shhh - don't tell anyone!)

Guess it goes without saying that they now have to refer to the Nazca Booby as that red billed bird that just happens to like this place.

Unbelievable.

I've said it before, if not in this forum, then the other one I hang out in, that people on planes ought to get into the habit of wearing their seatbelts for the duration of the flight, and not take them off once the plane has reached level altitude.

Planes such as 737s are capable of executing barrel rolls and similar stunts. Think about it--hijackers would have to be unbelted and moving around to do their stuff. Once the pilot realized what was going on, he/she could start with the barnstorming tricks. The hijackers would be tumbling arse over tip all over the plane--seriously disoriented, at the very least, if they didn't bump their heads on something. Not the passengers. They'd have been belted in. They might be bumped around a bit and buffeted by the stray carry-on that popped out of the overhead or out from under a seat, but they'd be better off than the terrorists.

This thread is about Comet Hale Bopp. Please stay on topic.
