Today, we are able to induct four new members to our Star Whores Hall of Shame: Alec Baldwin, Meryl Streep, Gary Busey and Billy Zane.
Now these folks are not new to the “dark side” of political opinion. They all have issues and a consistent record of moonbat rhetoric. Some of them even have problems staying on the right side of the law.
Alec Baldwin, actor and abusive husband/father, can’t seem to keep his temper under control (remember his bitter divorce from Kim Basinger? The incident with the photographer?). He recently called the 20 Democrats who voted for cloture in the Samuel Alito confirmation “a number of chickensh*t Democrats.” Baldwin has always been outspoken on political issues, but he uses lies and vitriolic rhetoric in his discourse, seldom with any valid arguments. Welcome to the Hall of Shame, Mr. Baldwin.
Meryl Streep, a very talented actress, falls into the “shut up and act” category of the Hall of Shame. On occasion she will render opinion to the media about political matters (sort of like Tourette’s Syndrome). Her recent remarks about Justice Alito’s confirmation: “I’m so demoralized.” You should check with your doctor, Ms. Streep, and see if you need your change-of-life medication re-prescribed. While you’re at it, you might want to ask about the psychological effects of all those Botox injections. Oh, and welcome to the “Shut up and Sing-or-Dance-or-Act” section of the Hall.
Gary Busey, who has been at the edge of the law for many years now (Remember the DUI? The motorcycle crash?), has steadily accepted the actual lifestyle of the roles he played as a degenerate criminal type (one exception is his role in the “Buddy Holly Story”). Continuing the downward spiral of his career, in the Turkish-made film “Valley of the Wolves – Iraq,” Gary Busey appears as a Jewish-American doctor who carries out organ transplants on unwitting Iraqi casualties, sending the organs off to Israel and the United States. For your role, Mr. Busey, in fabricating the falsehoods about the US for a foreign country’s terrorist interest propaganda, you have been selected for induction into the anti-American Asshole wing of our little Hall of Shame.
Billy Zane always seems to play the on-screen role of a son-of-a-bitch; I think it comes naturally to him. He is co-staring with Busey in the Turkish film, which earns him an induction into the “Son of a Bitch” wing of the Hall. Paraphrasing General Patton: “Welcome aboard from one S.O.B to another”

Democratic Governor Tim Kaine of the Commonwealth of Virginia was cast in the role of presenting the Democratic response to the State of the Union Address. Governor Kaine actually presented the opposition point of view (as flawed as the reasoning behind it might be) eloquently and with measured dissenting demeanor. A stark contrast to the histrionics and drama of last years flaccid, unimpressive and vitriolic response from the Democratic minority leadership of Congress:
Democratic senators in liberal-infested states like California or Massachusetts don’t have much to worry about, but many Democratic senators in middle America should carefully consider supporting Judge Alito. Americans have become increasingly aware that Judge Alito is a highly-qualified candidate and think that he should be confirmed.
Just what does the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, the Washington Post (and a number of other liberal rags) expect will happen when they constantly filter the news and blatantly lie about current events? Thanks to a few conservative outlets, Fox News Channel in particular and the bloggers, newspapers are being exposed for their bias and are in a slump. We believe that network televised news like CBS, ABC and NBC will follow suit unless they get the bias out of their reporting. MSNBC, CNN and other left-slanted cable outlets already dwell in the ratings cellar.
[On September 7, 2005] a huge sunspot rounded the sun’s eastern limb. As soon as it appeared, it exploded, producing one of the brightest x-ray solar flares of the Space Age. In the days that followed, the growing spot exploded eight more times. Each powerful “X-flare” caused a shortwave radio blackout on Earth and pumped new energy into a radiation storm around our planet. The blasts hurled magnetic clouds toward Earth, and when they hit, on Sept 10th and 11th, ruby-red auroras were seen as far south as Arizona. (Photo: the skies above Payson AZ on Sept. 11, 2005.

Surprise: During the record-setting hurricane season of 2005 three of the most powerful storms–Rita, Katrina, and Emily–did have lightning, lots of it. And researchers would like to know why.
