#1 Laughible organization names:

"Business Leaders for Sensible Priorities" and
"Physicians for Social Responsibility".

Are there any opposing groups I can join? perhaps
"Slackjawed losers united against all parental expectations"
or
"Physicians for questionable bookkeeping"?

Where do people come up with this stuff?
"Mothers against all icky bad things",
"Kids for Park Equipment and no homework",
"The Committee For Cookies And Milk Now!".

Its just nonsense.

#2 Aid and comfort, Martin, aid and comfort.

I stopped watching West Wing because the real person is such a weenie compared to the character, and the character is a weenie.

#3 Last night there was a PBS program on WWII featuring color film footage. Among the images were scenes of liberating the Nazi death camps. The narrator was...you got it...Martin Sheen!

Although the images were compelling, I couldn't help thinking that Sheen had 'phoned in' this job if for no other reason than he can read a text but have absolutely no clue what real evil is when he is confronted with it.

#5 The scam is they don't need to pay for airtime because every new show will show the ad and talk about it. They get the air time for free and get to play Freedom of Speach victim at the same time.

#6 Willie C in the UN?
That's almost as absurd as Hillary in the White House!

Oh sorry. Oh hell!
