Celebs have always voiced political views, Chaplin, Bogart, Sinatra, Lennon, etc. It's nothing new.

What amazes me is that people will bitch and moan about what they have to say. Who the fuck cares? Are you so in need of approval that you have to live by what some celeb talks. Or so unsure of your stance that you have to criticize what someone else has to say?

Now, do you believe O'Reilly (who's claim to fame was as anchor of a sleazy tabloid tv show called "A Current Affair"), Limbaugh (who was kicked out of radio and sold tickets for a MLB team), Hannity (who has a high school education and has never done anything), Stern (who is great at what he does and is the ultimate shock jock), Heston (who shortly after he said "you can have my gun after you pull it from my cold dead hand" came forward admitting he had Alzheimer's Disease) and so on are any more qualified to affect your stances or beliefs?

My point is if you allow others to affect your beliefs, you weren't that sure of them to begin with. Now, you may listen to them because they reinforce what you believe and are able to communicate it better than you and there is nothing wrong with that.

Here's a little secret for you people who get so upset over all this....... most of the "Celebs" are saying what they say because they love the attention (need the ratings) and they know the only way to get that attention (or ratings) is to be controversial, to say the stupidest things if need be.

Look how Sheryl Crow is now being talked about.... were many talking about her last week? How have her sales been doing since this?

(As an aside, from someone who has had experience back in my poor days, 1 square is possible.... you fold the square into quarters tear the center and keep it, unfold stick your finger through the hole in the center and wipe.... then use the tp to clean your finger and the little piece you torn out to clean under your fingernail...... wash hands very thoroughly.)

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
