Everybody is talking, but is anybody listening? Mostly Politics ... Conservative. God bless and save this exceptional U.S.A.

TYRA BANKS - Model Mogul
Supermodel is sometimes a term over used. But the implications are surreal when in fact, you are attributing them to talk show host Tyra Banks.
She is a model, a role model to millions. And she is super.
She is a Producer. An aspiring Media Mogul. A Top Model.
She is a ravishingly beautiful young woman. She exudes beauty. It comes from within her soul. She has great essence. It leaps out and engulfs you through the airwaves.
From her mega hit talk show, since its inception, it has been number one.
She started off a little shy, a little over zealous and even a little over the top.
Now, she is simply herself. A woman extraordinaire.
Her shows are often profound. They are hilarious. They are heartbreaking.
She cannot be pigeonholed. She fits the mold, then she breaks it.
she is soft spoken at the same time she its outspoken.
She is the contemporary heartbeat of the new millennium.
There are only a few, a small handful of "Stars" who have endeared and have endured.
Their names are mythical and magical. They are forever.
Julie Andrews and Lena Horne come to mind from the heart.
Tyra, too, touches many. She has changed the lives of multitudes.
Literally millions.
I hope I live long enough to bear witness, when indeed, Tyra truly lights the world by her "just being."
And she will.

George Bush / Dick Cheney: "Impeach the damn idiots!"
They are still not listening to WE THE PEOPLE ...
DO NOT WAIT! DO NOT HESITATE! Contact your Representative TODAY!
This is YOUR AMERICA! Raise your voice for FREEDOM and TRUTH ~ ONE JUSTICE FOR ALL!
(SAMPLE ... FREE FOR ALL)
Honourable _________________
2138 Rayburn House Office Building
Washington, DC 20515
Dear Honourable _______________________:
I write to you because of the considerable influence you have in this Congress. I am dismayed by your current refusal to investigate and confront, via Impeachment, the violators of our Constitution.
With the introduction of articles of impeachment by Congressman Kucinich on Tuesday, November 6, 2007, you are presented with an historic opportunity to act on your oath to defend the Constitution. I demand you seize this opportunity.
Support the resolution calling for the impeachment of Vice President Dick Cheney that is now awaiting action in the Judiciary Committee. Heed the call from a member of the committee, Congressman Robert Wexler of Florida :
"The American people are served well with a legitimate and thorough impeachment inquiry. I will urge the Judiciary Committee to schedule impeachment hearings immediately and not let this issue languish as it has over the last six months. Only through hearings can we begin to correct the abuses of Dick Cheney and the Bush Administration; and, if it is determined in these hearings that Vice President Cheney has committed High Crimes and Misdemeanors, he should be impeached and removed from office. It is time for Congress to expose the multitude of misdeeds of the Administration, and I am hopeful that the Judiciary Committee will expeditiously begin an investigation of this matter."
Exposure of the Vice President's many misdeeds will enlighten others to the damage that is being done in our name, and to our Constitution, creating a groundswell that may very well lead to enough votes in the Senate to impeach. By opening hearings in the House you begin that process, moving our nation out from under the cloud of this administration,
Should you stop Kucinich resolution in committee, you will fail your own oath of office. "To defend the Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic." With such precedent, you will allow this current administration - and any future White House - to commit additional high crimes and misdemeanors without consequence.
The remedy to the abuses of the Bush administration is in the Constitution. The Congress has the power to impeach the Vice President, and the President - Use It! Failure to act is irresponsible and unacceptable.
Love my Chick-O-Stick!
The Chick-O-Stick ...
Texas-bred parents or grandparents might remember this peanut-candy snack, which has been around since 1932.
The Chick-O-Stick is still being made by the Atkinson's Candy Co. in Lufkin, and if you can't find it sold locally, just go online to www.atkinsoncandy.com.
There you will find a whole storefront of traditional Atkinson sweets, including Coconut Long Boys, Peanut Butter Bars, Peanut Brittle, Rainbow Sticks, Rainbow Coconut Bars, and Mint Twists.
According to the Atkinson's Candy Co.:
This is the one we're famous for! Just imagine the best fresh-roasted Texas Grade A Jumbo peanuts -- ya'll know we roast our own, right? We take these golden roasted peanuts, sprinkle them with salt while they're still warm, and grind them along with pure granulated sugar in a patented process. Our experienced candy makers take this concoction and roll it into sticks that are the perfect mix of peanuts and crunchy candy. Then, we make them that much better by dusting each Chick-O-Stick with lightly toasted coconut. What we're left with is the most perfect candy on earth. It's kind of flaky, kind of crunchy, kind of crispy, kind of chewy, and VERY peanutty. Oh, why is it called a Chick-O-Stick? Well, you can thank our founder, Grandaddy, for that. He came up with the name one day, and well, it just stuck.

OPRAH WINFREY- We are the world ... you are part of it ...
What are people saying? Why are people saying it?
Oprah is just a sometime actress.
Oprah is just a talk show hostess.
Oprah is just a woman.
When it is all said and done - Oprah will just be a memory.
What she said, what she did ... in the scheme of life, did it matter? Does it matter?
Oprah is just a woman.
A woman in this vast universe. In the infinite ... infinity.
Like everyone, Oprah makes a difference in her own unique way.
Like everyone, you can make a difference too, if you try.

George Clooney - What About America?
How do we choose which children should live?
Are they all ... aren't we all children of God?
God's children ...
There are American children who are hungry.
There are American children who are being abused.
There are American children who are being raped.
How do we choose?
Maybe we should get our own home, our own backyard in order ...
before we lend our hand elsewhere.
Or maybe our hands are large enough to embrace the world.
Maybe ...
Or just maybe lending a hand anywhere is what it is all about.
Or maybe the children in America only see the back or your hand ...

U.S. Congress - SEX, DRUGS & Idiots!
Instead of worrying about baseball ... who's zooming who? Who's on what, when, where, why ... 3/4 of the Nation and most of the civilized world want Americans to come home from an idiot war. Started by the king on the hill.
You ARE supposed to be elected officials.
Listen to those who elected you.
Is America being run by idiots?
It appears to be the case.
They seem sane when elected by keenly aware Americans.
Then, with or without provocation they turn into idiots and lunatics ... alcoholics or closet queens!

MOVIES ROCK - Bad Music for CBS
There was talent on stage! It was transmitted via clips of renowned and classic movies.
The singers or rappers or performers or whatever ... were ill suited for their songs. Some were worse than others.
Hopefully, some of the legendary actors and actresses who starred in the films were not watching. Julie Andrews would have cried. Gene Kelly would have been pleased, however.
Others, have passed on.
Every one should have passed on this terrible, terrible display. Which is the 1st annual ...

Happy Birthday, dear Jesus
Merry Christmas.
A celebration of the birth of Jesus.
When you say or write X-mas, you are taking out Christ.
A celebration of the birth of Jesus.

You are denying Him on His own birthday celebration.
Christmas is not the gift you give. It is not the gift you get.
It is not eggnog or tinsel on the tree.
It is not a carol sung by a choir.
Happy birthday Jesus.
I remember You on Your birthday.
Just as You remember me the whole year through.

Margaret Wooton - America or NAZI GERMANY? The EARLY SHOW - CBS
The Early Show on CBS -- A woman named Margaret Wooton, a representative from some organization is stating that the government should be involved in what is being sold in the vending machines and cafeterias of the Schools. When the host asked if the parents should have a say, Wooton states that a percentage of the parents agree.
What percentage?
What study?
What poll?
The government should not be involved in the choices of its citizens.
NEXT, the government will be telling us what toilet paper to use and how many squares for each wipe.
The government needs to govern the gas prices, bringing our children home from a war, unemployment, racism ...
Or perhaps the government should monitor and dictate what should be worn and not worn on national television ... eh, Miss Wooton?

ebay BEWARE!
BEWARE Ebay - Stay away!
Celebs and their representatives are weeding out unauthorized photos, fake autographs and other memorabilia being auctioned and sold on Ebay. They are also targeting items with celeb names (looking like endorsements) being paid for by unsuspecting buyers and never being shipped.
"Money is being taken and made. The poor Buyer is left out in the cold. Either the item is never shipped or it is shipped but it is a fake and not worth anything." says an Actor's representative.
There are various lawsuits pending agianst Ebay and current sellers. "But it takes time. And by the time it does get to Court ... the seller has changed their name(s) or just disappeared with the money. The buyers and fans are disappointed and left with nothing."
Ebay has been contacted regarding various sellers but refuses to have the Sellers removed. "Ebay makes money for each item sold. It's a matter of profitability over honesty, integrity and profitability."
Seller beware - you are being watched.
Buyer's beware - you are being taken!

GEORGE BUSH: DOES NOT HEAR "Our Christmas Prayer" OR Is George Bush The ANTI-CHRIST?
America's Christmas Prayer
Our children are dying, their young one's are crying
There's nothing we can do
The President sits upon his throne
Ruling his Country, his country alone
Ignoring the people, the Church and its steeple
And all of the Nation's too
Dear God I ask, I beg if you're there
Please hear my Christmas prayer
Bring all our loved ones, please bring them home
Mother and Father, sons and daughters
Friends and relatives too
We're in a war, that no one can win
Why, dear God - did it begin?
Why did he start this? How can he be ...
This stupid, foolish -- Hitler wannabee
Dear God is America really the land of the free?
Do we live in a Democracy?
Do our votes really count?
If they do, to what amount?
It's sad to think it, it cannot be true ...
Does Mr. President think that he's You?
Does his Mother and Father turn and cry?
Knowing their son, to this nation he lied
All of our allies and all of our friends
Shake their heads and try to pretend
It's all a nightmare an American disgrace
Sad to be a part of the human race ...

I just bought Patsy Ruth Miller MOTHER (1978) DVD
"I just received MOTHER. How wonderful to see Patsy again. I was her neighbour in Stamford, CT for over 30 years. She was a gorgeous lady. I had forgotten her husky voice. Years of cigarets. It was nice to see that she did make another movie and her talent stayed with her over the years. Coleen Gray was marvelous, too. Great story and lovely acting!"

Patsy Ruth Miller, Coleen Gray MOTHER (1978) RARE film
A Rare Find by L. Sinclair / NYC News
Patsy Ruth Miller came out of a 30 year retirement to play the title role of Mother. Patsy was Esmeralda in "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" (1923) with Lon Chaney. Film noir icon Coleen Gray ("Red River", "Death of A Scoundrel', "Riding High" etc.) had the lead as the daughter wanting to place her Mother into a home for the old and aged. Rounding out the cast was Dallas Hill, as the comic relief "Matron" of the proposed institution.
Mother is a whimsical tale about dreams and dreams come true. It was also a wonderful premise to see the two veterans Gray and Miller on the screen. Both are sometimes over-looked "screen gems" and their performances are genuinely beautiful.
The film was shot in 5 days in Houston, Texas of 16mm, black and white. It had its premie at NYC MOMA. It was written for the three leads by Brian Pinette who also wrote & produced.
Now it is available on DVD along with "The Hunchback of Notre Dame." For information contact: damienrecords@gmail.com. Paypal is accepted.

The legendary Doris Day has never been off the radio ... her songs from both movie and her bestselling pop hits are still top contstant downloads. Her movies and top-rated TV series are selling by the bus-load.

Her rendition of Christmas classics are miraculous. The nuance and pathos evoke tears and smiles.
It always has been a Doris Day Christmas!
What a wonderful tradition.

My daughter saw a dragon in the sky. She whispered, "Mommy, dragons really do fly."
My son heard an Angel's voice in the wind. He sighed, "Mommy, I hope I hear it again."
My children shared a smile listening to the blue bird sing.
They said, "Mommy, the world is full of beautiful things."
When my children age with time - I hope they still believe in dragons and Angels and the world is full of beautiful things.
For Delilah ... a voice in the darkness ... who reminds all of us ... the world is still full of beautiful things.

Hello, John McCain ... are you all there?
In a world gone awry ... John McCain, do you still believe, do you actually believe we are in a war we should be in? Do you see the weapons of mass destruction? Do you see spots? How many fingers am I holding up? Do you talk to polar bears? Or are you over-medicating?
3/4 of Americans believe our troops ... our Fathers and Mothers, sons and daughter, Aunts and Uncles ... should be brought home. They need to come home.
NOT in body bags.
Are people talking? Is anyone listening?
You are NOT listening.
Take off your Mickey Mouse ears and REALLY listen.
Listen to Americans and not the delusional voices in your head.
Catch your breath.
Sit this one out. You are frightening the children!
The parade has sadly passed you by ...

Oprah Winfrey -- Say what? Say who? SO WHAT?
Talk show hostess and sometime actress Oprah Winfrey endorses a political candidate for President!
In retrospect, what if Johnny Carson, Dinah Shore or Phil Donahue endorsed a candidate? Would it have mattered? Should it have mattered? They all were tops in their field and forerunners in their day and time and genre ... just like Oprah.
Oprah endorses is all over the place ...
What should be all over the place is "educated voters, make wise choices." Know your candidate. Know what you want your candidate to achieve for you and your community and your Country.
In theory, this should work. Afterall, this is the United States of America. However, the President currently in power ... we thought we knew who and what we were voting for.
If you let Oprah sway your choice or decision ... then you can always blame Oprah if her candidate fails.
Make your own choice. Be the you, the unique, intelligent individual God made. Believe in yourself ... as God believes in you.
God Bless America!
O.J. Simpson ... Go to Jail, already!
YOU were found guilty in a Civil trial of murdering your wife.
You are most likely to be found guilty
in your most recent charge.
Face life at life's terms ... you are a very bad man.
Go to prison and be done with it.
And in the end, it is up to God to have mercy
on your tired, sad, old, pathetic & evil soul.
That damn THE VIEW on ABC is addictive!
"I've been late to work. I've burned meals. I've gotten into debates and arguments ... I quote from ... Did you see ... Yes, I saw .... Can you believe .... What an idiot .... She is cool! ...."
THE VIEW - 10 years plus
A daytime staple for over a decade is Barbara Walters THE VIEW. A few of the women have changed, but the staples remain ... Barbara Walters and Joy Behar. Currently, the outspoken Angel & "devil's advocate" Whoopi Goldberg is a regular as is the sweet and hilarious Sherri Shepherd. Perhaps Elisabeth Hasselbeck will return ...
Over the years THE VIEW has seen different points of view. A funny, but often rude comedienne came and went. Her theme seemed to be I'm a frumpy lesbian, so I must always be right. I believe she thought she was Queen of the View. Or Queen for the Day. Lesbian or straight, frumpy or statuesque, she was just rude and serf-serving. Her talent was being wasted, anyway ....
What makes THE VIEW viewable is the ensemble. Everyone has a different point of view, yet as friends do, they debate, they argue, they pout and sometimes shout ... yet they get over it and move on. If you cannot get over it and move on, it is rightful that you move out, before you are evicted.
Great chemistry for viewing without raising the blood pressure too high. The topics are topical. Sometimes, provocative and controversial and other times, hilariously absurd.
That is why THE VIEW works. For men and women, young and old. "The Golden Girls" meet "Designing Women" meet "Green Acres." A little bit about everything. Everybody is always talking. Everybody is always listening ... to each other.
Sometimes we are enlightened, sometimes we smile and even shed a tear ... it's just a view of life. A few points of view. I am ever so grateful for their pearls of wisdom and their keen insights. They all have the ability to shed light onto otherwise darkened corners. They use their God-given gifts wisely.
To another ten years of viewing ... THE VIEW on ABC.

FOOLS ON THE HILL
WE ELECT - THEY IGNORE
President Bush is the forerunner of idiot, lying politicians. We elected him. We pay his salary, his housing ... YET, he does not listen to over 3/4 of the country to bring our people home from a war he forced the United States to start. I was in NYC 9/11. He promised to find Bin Laden. HE LIED. What is his agenda? Ours should be to impeach. The old guard needs to be changed. We have no international allies anymore. BUSH is a fool on the hill.
