Blueflypaper Salutes (the sort of) Mrs. Tim Robbins!
First off, any woman who can land Tim Robbins is a real womym! (Yes, I know that they are not officially married. So what?).
Second, she doesn't just rest on her laurels of being Tim Robbins' squeeze, as she has done some acting too.
But, most importantly, this womyn is a leading political pundit. She doesn't make statements often, instead she waits until she has all of the facts, all of the back-up, so that her statements are irrefutable. For example:
"We stand a chance of getting a president who has probably killed more people before he gets into office than any president in the history of the United States."
"How will the bombing of Baghdad, a city of five million, accomplish a regime change?"You simply cannot argue against this logic.
Plus, by being a celebrity, Sarandon has access to high-level information not available to non-celebrities. But instead of remaining silent, Sarandon talks to all Americans who are willing to listen to her. And I quote:
"Now should I be quiet because I have information other people don't have? No."Thank goddess she does!. Furthermore, Sarandon also has the brass balls to call it like it is, for example equating al-Qaeda with
"Let us find a way to resist fundamentalism that leads to violence. Fundamentalism of all kinds, in al-Qaeda and within our government. And what is our fundamentalism? Cloaked in patriotism and our doctrine of spreading democracy throughout the world, our fundamentalism is business.Most importantly, Sarandon has the secret for achieving ever-lasting peace in the world:
Dialogue makes peace possible.Now if we'd do more dialoguing and less warring in Palestine, Iraq, Chechnya, and with Osama bin Laden, then we could go back to the times when there were no wars (ie., before Bush & his Dad).

Just did though I couldn't tell if you were a Democrat or Repubinazi from what I read. My guess is that data recovery is the kind of nuts & bolts blue collar IT work that a Dem would be doing. So welcome. Hope you liked what I hope you read.
HAHAHAHA you are so funny. Blue Collar IT work ? HAHAHAHA you obviously don't know what blue collar is.
I was a barista at the Free Trade Java Hut and answered phones at the student crisis center one term so I know a little something about blue collar work.
Those are not blue collar jobs.
Mechanic, factory worker, trash man, ditch digger. Those are blue collar jobs. ones where you go home and have to take a shower and scrub the dirt off your face and out of your work clothes everynight. Something you obviously know nothing about.
These are good union jobs. Organized labor = good.
Yeah well you know, i have better things to be doing with my hard earned money than giving it to fat cat union gangsters.
Blue collar means not even able to pay union dues cause you are too fucking POOR!!!!
Freedom = good. Politics (especially liberalism) = Oppression.
WildCard's idea (Only live by the constitution) = None of the stupid shit problems that are plauged by our country now. (all these liberal assholes would be deported to a socialist country under oppression so they might come to appreciate what they had. of course they will never be allowed back into the country but oh well its still a lesson learned.)
oh come on now... i've grown used to seeing your snappy responses to my posts....
"Our country is founded on a sham: our forefathers were slave-owning rich white guys who wanted it their way."
You want to go by what these guys said 250 years ago or do you want to go by what the PEOPLE know in their hearts to be the truth? And truth is easy to determine all we have to do is poll academic professors, union representatives, Los Angeles Times columnists, and other folks with the moral authority to speak for their special interests.
That isn't to say that the Constitution should be completely ignored. There is some good stuff in there that can be the basis of a new world order. That's impressive considering how old it is. But even a good film by someone like Michael Bay is going to have the script tweaked by the studio before shooting so why should the founding father's have a "no edit" clause in perpetuity? No one would "green light" that so why should we?
Because there is no amending the 10 commandments. There is no ammending the Koran. there is no amending the bible (even though assholes have do it before). there is no amending the constitution.
THE CONSTITUTION (mostly the bill of rights) STATES THE RIGHTS THAT WE HAVE AS PEOPLE THAT CANNOT BE TAKEN AWAY OR PUT INTO QUESTION.
DEAL WITH IT OR GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.
You sound like Michael Bay. Then his agent gets on the phone, smooths it out, a few changes are made here and there, and everyone is happy. Most important, a better movie is made.
Don't worry, I know that it can be hard to watch your baby (The Bill of Rights) go through a rewrite, but remember that it will be being done by professionals like Paul Krugman of the NYT, so it's in good hands.
Micheal bay is a piece of shit just like his movies.
and as to that shit bag you speak of, he needs to keep his hands off the bill of rights or i'll hack them off with a rusty axe.
As a rule I don't like movies made in America or by major studios, but Michael Bay transcends all of this. I, and by the success of his movies like Pearl Harbor and Armageddon, beleive that this auteur extrodinaire could do a Hell of a job on a rewrite of the Constitution.
Uhhh ... no.
Come on, he made Bad Boys II a success during a summer where all other franchise sequels were flopping. We are talking genius. If you are hesitant, let him tackle say the first half of the Bill of Rights with an option for him to do the second 5 if the rewrite on the first 5 goes over well. I'm sure that reasonable people could figure out a way to make it work.
Making stupid people like a stupid ass movie does not enable you to write up a list of human rights.
Go watch some real films like this list of movies that don't suck donkey balls.
1. Saving Private Ryan
2. Death Watch (British Film)
3. Road to Perdition
4. The Untouchables
5. Unforgiven
6. Once Upon a Time in the West
7. Open Range
8. Any Tom Selleck movie
P.S. "Now if we'd do more dialoguing and less warring in Palestine, Iraq, Chechnya, and with Osama bin Laden, then we could go back to the times when there were no wars (ie., before Bush & his Dad)."
hahaha... keep smoking those lightbulbs... wars have been happening since the beginning of time. Animals even have wars. if you don't believe me watch some documentrys on wolves, lions, or other animals who travel in packs, or prides, or whatever the name for a society of the certain animal and see how they react to others who might threaten them.
BTW i don't condone the war, i think its stupid too but liberals still suck.
and conservetives too...
When animals fight in the wild, it is nature. When people fight it is oppression (usually with the USA and its white Euro-Centric Male-Dominated "Allies") as the agressors.
There are a lot of things different about today than before and as a society we need to progress. A few decades ago hardly anyone practiced yoga, now there is a yoga shop pretty much on every block in West LA. If we can do that, why can't we end wars? (Answer: Bush doesn't want to).

Okay, I see white male domniated, agressive, gun-culture movies. Not a single one of these has subtitles or Hugh Grant. No wonder our society has such problems.
Do yourself a favor, go rent the "Vagina Monologues" and see what a real movie is.
"Do yourself a favor, go rent the "Vagina Monologues" and see what a real movie is. "
No thanks, i'm not into lesbian porn.
and i had no idea that movies depicting historical events were "white male domniated, agressive, gun-culture movies"
i guess they should have all had squirt guns at the battle of normandy in "saving private ryan"
Next time your smelly french pussy friends get thier asses kicked by the germans we won't be coming to help. twice is enough.
A strong argument could be made that by holding off the Germans as long as they did France allowed the Allies to succeed. If they had just fallen over and surrendered, who knows what would have happened.
