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”

PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pennsylvania (Reuters) – Punxsutawney Phil, the groundhog who fans claim is never wrong, predicted six more weeks of winter on Thursday, matching the forecast of professional meteorologists.
January 30, 2006: Moondust. “I wish I could send you some,” says Apollo 17 astronaut Gene Cernan. Just a thimbleful scooped fresh off the lunar surface. “It’s amazing stuff.”
Michelle Malkin was the first serious blogger to suggest that my work deserved consideration for the Pulitzer Prize. Her sentiment was echoed by thousands of email messages and comments on the open forum site, asking me about a Pulitzer Prize, and whether my work might receive such a great honor. I was clueless. I knew that Pulitzer was synonymous with first-rate and prestigious, but that’s about it. A Pulitzer Prize was as far from my mind as the moon was from my feet.
Damsel and I have had the privilege of visiting the B2 production facility at Palmdale, CA, Air Force Plant 42 during an open house. After the factory walk-through, we went out on the tarmac for a presentation ceremony. At the conclusion of the presentation, we were treated to a low-altitude flyby of the Spirit of California. It was truly a breathtaking experience for us. Unfortunately, we didn’t get any pictures since cameras weren’t allowed on that part of the base. But not to worry – Richard Seaman (a friend of a friend of a friend, etc.), was at the 2005 Edwards Air Show and took some pictures and put them on his website. He also provides lots of informative comments as you scroll through the pictures. There are some useful links at the bottom of the page as well. Just awesome! Go look at the 
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:
