Support The Union

I'm not going to give you a long piece on why we need to support the screen writers. Just know that not every Hollywood writer lives in an overly expensive house with a stupid little dog that would be better suited being tied to a couple of size 2/0 treble hooks & cast over some good musky habitat. Go here to send a letter or letters to your favorite teevee show producers exhorting them to settle with the writers. Remember loyal four readers, I love my teevee & if you love me you'll do this. Thanks in advance.

Interesting facts about the star of this torture teevee drama.

It's especially unfortunate to see Kiefer Sutherland play the world's most popular torturer -- because his father, Donald Sutherland, has been a prominent antiwar activist since Vietnam days and starred in some great films critiquing fascist politics, including MASH and Bertolucci's 1900 -- and also because Kiefer's grandfather, Tommy Douglas, was Canada's first socialist premier, and was recently voted "the greatest Canadian of all time" -- because he introduced universal public health care to Canada.

My emphasis. & a hat tip to RLK for The Tyee referral.

Stuff

So I'm flipping through the channels & came across a Tony Bennett thing. Jeez Louise that guy can sing. & he's 80 years old! Keep it up man.

Now, after searching through the internets & their tubes & stuff, I'd ask you to visit these fine places.

Some great pics - tundra swans, porcupines, bear tracks in the snow, bald eagles, albino deer over at the SideKick's place.

Something about growing up at Mixter's.

BurdockBoy has stuff about babies, among other things.

A Laugh

First laugh over two seconds I've had in a few days.

Cinnamon Stouffer?

I admit I never watch CNN:Headline News for fear of a Glenn Beck or Nancy Grace siting, but there's a person on earth who chose to go by the name Cinnamon Stouffer and she's a news anchor and not a porn star (or a microwave pastry)?

Get the fuck out!
