Variety: "Celebs" dress for Bush Bash

[villager]

Variety's partial rundown on kool-aid slurping "celebrities"

Celebs dress for Bush bash
Who's getting a D.C. invite?

By WILLIAM TRIPLETT

WASHINGTON -- The presidential inaugural committee has settled on its final list of celebrities and entertainers coming to Washington this week to participate in festivities associated with President Bush's swearing-in for a second term. Among those taking leading roles in the two days of events are former "Frasier" star Kelsey Grammer, former Nixon staffer cum actor-comedian-gameshow host Ben Stein, teen idol Hilary Duff, country singer Kenny Chesney and boxing promoter Don King.

Theme of the inaugural festivities is "Celebrating Freedom, Honoring Service." Others scheduled to attend include Cuban-born singer Gloria Estefan, soul singer Bebe Winans, old-school R&BR&B stars the Temptations, country crooners the Gatlin Brothers, actor Richard Roundtree, astronaut Buzz Aldrin, NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. and the Radio City Music Hall Rockettes.


Kid Rock, who supported the president's re-election and had first twins Barbara and Jenna Bush and other young conservatives kicking out the jams during his performance at the Republican National Convention last summer, will be absent from the festivities. When rumors recently surfaced that the Detroit rock-rapper with the less-than-wholesome image might be joining the ranks of entertainers at an inaugural youth concert Barbara was organizing, the president's staunchly conservative supporters objected, forcing the inaugural committee to issue a statement saying that the Kid "was never booked."

The youth concert will be headlined by Duff with an assist from pop star JoJo and "American Idol" winner Ruben Studdard as well as the rock groups 3 Doors Down and Boxkar. Guests at the Black Tie & Boots Ball -- a private affair underwritten by the president's fellow Texans -- will be swinging to the tunes of Lyle Lovett and Asleep at the Wheel. The nine public balls will be entertained by the Tommy Dorsey and Guy Lombardo orchestras, among others.

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is not on the guest list -- yet.

1. Ben Stein, Hillary Duff, and Don King walk into a bar...

...bartender says:

?

(too weird for me to even come up with something for that one...)

Anyone? Anyone?

[rkc3]

4. The bartender says...

That's it, I'm shutting this fucker down.

[Richardo]

5. "Get the fuck out of here."

"This is a respectable joint."

[RobertSeattle]

6. Which one of you is on the bottom?

:evilgrin:

[Orangepeel]

14. What? Are they filming "Hollywood Squares" in here?

eh. best I could do.

[htuttle]

16. Badda-boom!

Best one so far!

[PROGRESSIVE1]

53. ""What? Are they filming "Hollywood Squares" in here?""

I almost fell out of my chair laughing at that one!

:)

[mountainvue]

96. Dude. That's funny! n/t

[lasttrip]

35. sorry, we don't serve kool-aid.

[Bragi]

64. Gentlemen, is this woman bothering you?

[DS1]

93. Don King and Ann Coulter walk into each other in front of a doorman

Doorman turns around and says, "Okay, who is the wiseguy who brought the broom?"

[GRLMGC]

2. Crazy

All of these people suck regardless of political affiliation.

[rkc3]

3. No, not Lyle Lovett. He can't be a bush supporter.

[Orangepeel]

12. maybe that's why Julia left him

:D

[Theres-a]

75. Maybe she's an idiot

:shrug:

[BlueManDude]

30. Very disappointing.

[LosinIt]

33. That is horrible news

I thought he was so cool, damn.

[demgrrrll]

79. Maybe it is more about Texas than Bush. Grasping at straws here

because I do like Lyle. If I found out that he was a Bush supporter it would change my feelings about him completely. Read an article about him in Esquire where they noted he was famous for his huge.... They actually asked him about the rumor and he refused to answer.

[The_Casual_Observer]

7. Talk about a "C" list of no talents and has-beens.

Branson will be dark that night, all the "acts" will be in DC.

[catmandu57]

17. No talent hacks and has beens

I guess it does'nt take much to satisfy a piggie mind, maybe faux will empty it's stable of hate mongers to fill out the tables?

[peekaloo]

8. Shaft and the Temptations?

:cry:

I believe most of the original Temps have passed on so it doesn't dismay me THAT much.

Yeah I guess Shaft makes sense too.


:P

[mountainvue]

97. David and Eddie have passed on.

Last I heard, Otis was still with them.

[Cadence]

9. Kelsey Grammar is a righty?

Hmmm. I used to like him. Pretty sparse list of "celebrities" in attendance. No more Kid Rock albums for me!

[Bluebear]

11. Grammar: Very right-wing.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

49. He also strongly "likes" little girls too.

[Cadence]

54. Huh? Yuck!!!

How do you know?

[stanwyck]

60. He and Ted Nugent

will have plenty to discuss.

[E-Z-B]

61. Kelsey Grammer was also once married to a stripper

That's not exactly promoting "moral values" now, is it?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelsey_Grammer

[Melynn]

69. Kelsey Grammer.....moral values?

Kelsey Grammer used to be a big coke head too. Just like Bush. Maybe that's the attraction.

[FizzFuzz]

108. judging by his personal history of tragedy, he must have ALOT of deep rage

perfect foundation for a RW worldview.

[Theres-a]

76. Wasn't he a big cokehead?

Maybe he and chimpy are old pals......

[Chico Man]

91. I've heard the same thing (nt)

[villager]

10. The news about Lovett, along with the zombie-fication of Asleep

at the Wheel (who had a song called "Am I High?" in the 70's), were the bitterest pills in the article...

[KDLarsen]

100. Maybe that's why * likes them

.. after all, when WASN'T he high during the 70's?

[coloradodem2005]

13. Whoopi Dingus.

Kelsey Grammar is the only one mentioned that I care for at all.

[da_chimperor]

15. Ben Stein worked under Nixon, and he's a right-winger?

:wow: Damn, I used to like him. Shame about Richard Roundtree being there as well, I really can't make sense of that.

[peekaloo]

19. 'cause Bu$h is givin' us all the SHAFT!

Stein's an arse.

[Bluebear]

20. Ben Stein on Social Security, for an example

The point is, making sure you have a swell retirement is up to you. Not to Uncle Sam, usually not to your employer, not to your kids. You have to max out your IRA’s, your Keoghs, your 401K’s and do it sensibly, and then some. And you have to start with that all important plan.

http://www.benstein.com/112804ret.html

[da_chimperor]

26. So he's a bootstrap republican . . . kinda makes sense from his appearance

Looking at him always reminded me of Kissinger.

[CBHagman]

36. Okay, now you've REALLY made me hate Ben Stein.

I know Ben Stein has that loveable nerd thing going, that he reminds us all of the brainy but nice classmate we had in high school, but he certainly has a "let 'em eat cake" attitude when it comes to retirement savings. Does he know what it's like to get into debt when even one member of the family falls ill or has an accident? What about layoffs? What about those of us who don't make a lawyer's salary or have connections to GOP circles or get product endorsement offers? It's easy to proclaim that everyone needs a good financial adviser and the discipline to put aside at least $500 a month, but I have a news flash from Planet Earth: Most people don't live that way, not even in the wealthy United States.

[Bluebear]

38. Do see this this thread, Ben Stein explains Iraq & Abu ghraib for you!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=2962511&mesg_id=2962511

[rkc3]

40. It's a great article - no wonder he supports our Compassionate

Conservative president.

Stein would look good with a red ball in his mouth.

[tblue37]

111. That reminds me of a MAD TV skit where an

actress played Oprah Winfrey giving her TV audience financial advice. "Buy a mountain," she said. "That's what you all need to do. Buy a mountain. You will save so much on taxes!"

[ikojo]

84. So, out of my 35k salary I am to fund my own

retirement, education, health care (via health savings accounts) and buy a house (or pay rent) as well as buy other stuff I may or may not need.

Wow, and how do I afford food?


I hate and I do mean HATE these rich people (and upper middle class folks) who believe that they got where they are by themselves. SOMEWHERE and at SOME TIME there was ANOTHER HUMAN who gave them a hand and helped them along their way.
Horatio Alger is FICTION!


:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

[XanaDUer]

22. Yeah. He was there when the Nixon family left the WH

and cried, I believe.

[w4rma]

104. Ben Stein flipped off Ariana Huffington on CNN a couple of years ago.

http://www.workingforchange.com/article.cfm?ItemId=12748

[Old and In the Way]

18. Talk about star power........

there's enough there to power a 60W bulb...

[arikara]

58. LOL...

not enough for a night light!

I used to like Asleep at the Wheel's music, and I thought that Kelsey Grammer was funny. Now he's tainted and I won't be able to watch Frasier without thinking of him being a bush* loving war monger.

Gag

[THUNDER HANDS]

21. Here's another example why Clay Aiken is better than Ruben Studdard

Aiken = supported John Kerry
Studdard = supported Bush

Aiken = sold 2 million albums in debut
Studdard = sold 20,000 albums in debut

Aiken = appeared in own Christmas special
Studdard = shared Christmas special with two other 'idols'

Aiken = cool
Studdard = fat boring bastard

[DS1]

25. They both suck equally, so the difference listed are moot

[sonicx]

45. How do you know who supported who?

Do you have quotes for either? Ruben performing for Bush doesn't mean he supports him, just like Mandy Moore performing for Bush doesn't mean she supported him (she was for Kerry, but people thought she was for Bush because she sang for him).

[PROGRESSIVE1]

107. When did Mandy sing for him?

[PROGRESSIVE1]

51. Can you show me proof that Aiken supported John Kerry?

[cmkramer]

95. Here's some clues although not proof exactly

He's a registered Democrat who describes himself as progressive in his book. He's a big admirer of Jimmy Carter and Tom Harkin.

His friends say he's very liberal. A few of them used to post on TWOP during AMERICAN IDOL2, and someone once posted that Aiken was no doubt a conservative. His friend Meredith wrote, no, he was liberal, very liberal, in fact. She said it was the reason they became friends since there weren't that many of them around where they were.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

106. Good to hear that!

May he make many more successful albums in his great career!

[ElsewheresDaughter]

23. how pathetic

[DS1]

24. Isn't Don King the walking poster child of frivolous lawsuits?

:eyes:

[rkc3]

37. Suing for $2.5 B isn't frivolous.

[DS1]

47. It is. It's a frivolous argument, the 2.5 billion just makes it that much

more ridiculous

[rkc3]

59. That was my point - $2.5 B is about as frivolous as you can get.

Like bush suing the rental car company for $2,000.

[Bluzmann57]

85. Wonder if they know that Don King is an ex con?

I believe he did time for manslaughter in the early 60's. He also has ruined many a man's boxing career by cheating them out of money they earned. Oh wait, taking advantage of uneducated people who are trying to get rich the only way they know how-yep, republican values all the way.

[Sanity Claws]

27. Thanks for the list of names

I never cared for any of them (I used to like Frasier but not anymore) so it'll be easy for me to boycott these RW idiots.

[Jamastiene]

62. Already doing it

since before I knew they would even covort with repugs

[Piperay]

86. Yeah they all go on

my shit list! :puke: It hurts with a couple of them but :shrug: :-( that's the way things are now sooooo. :shrug:

[President Jesus]

28. with the exception of a few, none of these chumps have donated a dime...

...to the GOP.

The only ones on this list that have actually supported the GOP financially are Kelsey Grammer, Larry Gatlin, Don King, and Ben Stein.

Wow, what a list.

[Emboldened Chimp]

29. Scraping the bottom of the celebrity barrel

Hilary Duff can be brushed off as a sycophantic wanna-be, but Ben Stein? Kelsey Grammer? Not exactly A-listers. And I must express my profound disappointment with Lyle Lovett.

[Theres-a]

78. Profound indeed.

[BlueManDude]

31. Win Ben Stein's Money? How about Kick Ben Stein's Ass!

[eleonora]

32. what a SUCKY list!

Boring pop and country. yuck

[qanda]

34. BeBe Winans sang at the Democratic National Covention

So I doubt that he'll be there to support Bush. Most of these people are probably independent and go whereever the check is awaiting them.

[Edgewater_Joe]

39. At Least Dems Have Better Artists

Correction -- at least Dems have ARTISTS supporting them!

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

41. SHAFT? Shaft is gonna be there? But BUSH is THE MAN!

Well, Merry FRIGGIN' Christmas. Stay tuned for the upcoming "Santa Claus Isn't Real" and "There Is No Easter Bunny" threads.

Bush is THE MAN! SHAFT SHOULD NOT BE THERE! He's the cat who's not supposed to cop out when there's danger all about, and by implication, he also should not attend parties celbrating the second stolen election of an Oedipal, homicidal, substance-abusing AWOL coward POS frat boy from Connecticut with a fake redneck accent!



:evilgrin:

:grr:

[madrchsod]

42. say it isn`t so lyle!!!

asleep at the wheel..to bad i used to like them ,but wait a minute....where`s pickles fav band-kinky freidman and the texas jew boys?? last i heard kinky was running for gov of texas,oh well he must be a democrat.

[villager]

43. Kinky's running as an independent!

Among his slogans: "Why the hell not?" And "How hard could it be?"

[sonicx]

44. Don't be fooled into thinking everyone that goes to this is a Repuke...

I don't like Jojo, but she's a Dem. Some of the others may be too.

When Mandy Moore performed for Bush, everyone thought she was a supporter and she got pissed because of that.

[Kerrytravelers]

46. I don't care if they are "Dems" or not,

showing up and letting their name rest along side our Terrorist in Office is disgraceful. Have a little integrity. The check, no matter how big, is not worth it.

[smirkymonkey]

92. Thank you. Either they're Repukes or they're whores.

Dems selling out to the terrorist-in-chief for a quick buck is almost as contemptable as actually BEING a republican.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

48. Can you document your "evidence" that JoJo is a Democrat?

Also, I have no respect for any artist who would perform at GOVERNOR Bush's Coronation!

:eyes:

[sonicx]

66. link to interview...

http://www.ym.com/stars/bandofthemonth/index.jsp

Q: Speaking of knowing what you deserve, you've been really active in encouraging people to vote and voice their political opinions, which is interesting since you're not old enough to vote yet. If you were 18, who would you cast your ballot for?

A: Well, let me just say this: I don't agree with the things that Bush has done in office. I'll leave it at that.

[coloradodem2005]

65. I agree.

But Mandy Moore should have realized that people would think that. I understand the need for exposure but that is a consequence of that.

[GRLMGC]

99. Jojo is 13

plus I have problems with her having the biggest breakup song for the summer. She's 13! She shouldn't be having a painful breakup.

[Doremus]

50. Kelsey was a drug addict wasn't he? Fits right in with the other bushbots

Another staunch advocate of family values no doubt.

In between snorts.

[Melodybe]

77. He also got into trouble for leaving sleazy sex messages on a

13 year old's answering machine.

He is a total pervert.

[Supersedeas]

52. Celebs, the Cadillac, and Laura's Defense of Lavishness all remind me of

The Parable of A Permit for Prostitution

<<When a woman seeks a permit to establish herself as a public prostitute, this is comical.

We properly feel that it is difficult to become something respectable (so that when a woman is refused consent to become Secretary of State, for instance, this is not comical), but to be refused permission to become something despicable, is a contradiction.

To be sure, if she receives permission to become a prostitute, it is comical, but the contradiction is different, namely, that the government authority shows its impotence precisely when it shows its power:

Its power in giving permission, its impotence by not being able to make it consentual.>>

Borrowed from Kierkegaard
Johanne Climacus's Concluding
Unscientific Postscript


So, the people of Washington, DC are robbed of taxpayer dollars to pay for the conference of lavish prostitutes...without their consent. The joys of which are defended by the First Lady.

Yet, the Kid "was never booked."

[hopein08]

55. Not Dale Earnhardt, Jr.!!!!!

I guess I should have expected it...but it is simply disappointing.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

57. One wonders what really killed his father.

I don't buy the story about a bad safety device.

Those NASCAR folk are a bunch of right wing bigots.

[Melynn]

71. I don't believe the story about Earnhardt Sr. either.

I don't believe that story about the bad safety device either.

The accident that Earnhardt died in wasn't that bad. Another mystery we will never know about.

[agincourt]

105. I believe he had neck surgery

not too long before his fatal crash.

[d.l.Green]

82. Isn't he the NASCAR driver who publicly took his crew to...

see "F911"?

[Jamastiene]

56. This list doesn't surprise me at all.

Best thing about it is that none if them are favorites of mine. I have better taste. I alread knew Kid Rock was the type. Just listen to him. I heard him once and almost :puke:
so it doesn't suprise me.

[Brooklyn Michael]

63. The GOP Double Standard...

....Hollywood is corrupt and evil, actors are vain and evil, artists are selfish and evil, celebrity athletes are stupid and evil, rock 'n' roll is evil and evil.......

UNLESS the producers, directors, actors, artists, celebrity athletes, and musicians in question are Republican. THEN they're just plain ol' good Americans.



“People say I am ruthless. I am not ruthless. And if I find the man who is calling me ruthless, I shall destroy him.” – Robert F. Kennedy

[Zen Democrat]

67. Not all of these entertainers are *ush supporters, you know.

That group said to be taking "leading roles" are ALL declared kool-aid drinkers, that's for sure -- Kelsey Grammer, Ben Stein, Hilary Duff, Kenny Chesney and Don King. But the others --

I know for a fact that Lyle Lovett isn't a Republican. Bebe Winans performed at the Democratic Convention in Boston, and Gloria Estefan performed for Bill Clinton's inaugural festivities. Didn't Dale Earnhardt, Jr. endorse Michael Moore's F/911?

Now the Gatlin Brothers have been drinking the kool-aid for years, as has Buzz Aldrin. I think there's only one surviving member of the "Temptations", so I'm not sure who these people are.

Ruben Studdard is probably just happy to get a gig.

[sonicx]

68. Gloria Estefan is liberal or moderate socially but...

I think she votes for Republicans because of Cuban issues.

[Kerrytravelers]

70. I also believed that Earnhart endoreed F9/11 and opposed *

but by being there, I can't support him anymore. How can anyone stand alongside this murderer? By being a part of the problem, they are not fighting with us for the solution.

For me, there is no defending any of these C-list fools.

[zbird]

73. Junior is a Bushbot.

snip...
Are NASCAR fans Republicans? “Yeah,” he says. Are they white? “Majority. It’s changing more and more,” says Earnhardt Jr. “But you still go to the races and you still see the rebel flags in the infield. You still see, you know, the aggressive Southeast a little bit at the racetrack. ...You know, the guy that still flies his rebel flag pretty proudly.”

But Earnhardt Jr. says he’s not like that: “It never really was me.”

Politically, Junior does side with a voting block known as NASCAR dads. He’s a Republican and he supports George W. Bush. Yet, he took his crew to see Michael Moore’s movie, “Fahrenheit 9/11.” Why?

“I like hearing both sides of the argument. I thought the movie was well done. But my dad was a Republican, and I'm a Republican, and so not that I came out of there going, ‘I ain't voting for Bush again,’” says Earnhardt Jr. “That didn't happen, and I didn't expect that to happen. I just wanted to go and enjoy the movie. Because I knew Michael Moore would try to push a few buttons. And I just wanted to see how hard he mashed them.”

snip...

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/09/27/60II/main645795.shtml

It's the old "daddy was a Repug and I wanna be just like my daddy" thing going on. IIRC, Jeff Gordon is the only major Nascar driver who didn't publicly support * (or Kerry, for that matter).

[dad]

90. Dale Jr. never opposed Bush, always a supporter

He just took his crew to see F911, that's all.

[Maven]

89. Come on shake-ya body babeh do da conga...

I know you know that singin for da bush is wrong-a...

Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do (DO DO!) do-do-do, do-do-do-do...

Oh, sorry.

Why, Gloria? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!

:eyes:

[Theres-a]

80. Lyle's not a repuke? You made my day. Please elaborate..

[Piperay]

87. I'm sure they're not, I guess it's an honor

usually to be asked to participate in a Presidential inaugural but in this case ... it's no honor. For one thing I don't see it as an honor when the big celebs have turned it down and they move further and further down the list. Everyone should turn this maniac down, no Democrat should participate in the farce. Any Democrat who participates is no better than a repuke and might as well join that party. x(

[Catchawave]

72. ***yawn****

Sounds like the C and D list celeb list to me. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but not quite the endorsement a Prez should feel comfy with. Where's his new neighbor, Ted Nugent?

[Theres-a]

74. As a large fan of Lyle,I hang my head in shame....

And cry.........:cry:

[Ilsa]

81. Asleep at the Wheel? Shit, they're playing here next month.

I live in freeper-heaven in south texas.

[Rose Siding]

83. JoJo is 14 but you can't tell it from her act

Poor thing

[tjdee]

94. Aww, she's not so bad.

I'm as willing to slag no talent teenyboppers wherever they arise, but JoJo is a cutie. She wears clothes, her songs aren't sexually suggestive, her dancing isn't sexually suggestive that I've seen.

I've seen both her videos and a performance on MTV...don't know if you've seen her somewhere else....

[Magmadona]

98. She's not that good of a singer in public.

She can't hold a high note for too long before her voice cracks and anyone willing to smuggle more Bush meat into their buttcheeks is garbage to me period.

[Norbert]

88. What's the difference between Richard Roundtree and bush?

One was Shaft and the other gave us the shaft.

[pinniped]

101. Ya, which Temptations?

There are probably at least three groups running around calling themselves the Temptations. And there is only 1 original member left. Probably having phony Temps just like the piece of shit boy king is a phony.

[Jacksonb57]

102. I'm gonna crank up my stereo all day

and play Edwin Starr singing his songs "WAR" and "Stop the WAR Now".:hippie:
I think I will press the repeat button too...:spank:...many many times...:evilgrin:

[Kerrytravelers]

103. I am so glad the Earnhart thing was cleared up...

I have been totally mistaken all along. What a dipshit. But, apparently the COnfederate flag doesn't bother him too much... it's just not his thing. What more can you expect from a guy like this?

[frankrizzo]

109. FOR ALL THE WRONG REASONS

I recently read this article on
www.thecatholicchallenge.com/768articles.htm
Any comments or opinions?





FOR THE WRONG REASONS

by Thomas W. Rezanka, Esq.



Some people voted for George Bush because he was anti-abortion and anti-gay marriage. Some voted for him because they refused to believe that he lied America into the war with Iraq. Some voted for him because they couldnít quite warm-up to John Kerry. Some voted for George Bush because their prejudice would not let them vote for a Catholic. Some voted for George Bush even though they donít agree with a great many of his decisions. Some voted for George Bush because he is a Republican, and if the Republican Party ran a monkey, this voter would still vote Republican. Some voted for George Bush because we are at war, and they believe that we should not change Presidents in mid-stream. Some voted for George Bush because they believe the big lie advanced by the U.S. Catholic Bishops that voting for John Kerry, a pro-choice candidate, was a sin. Some voted for George Bush because he is more like them. Some voted for George Bush because he is adamant about his positions. Some voted for George Bush even though they recognized that a man who never admits that he is wrong can be a dangerous leader. Some voted for George Bush because the responsibilities of their jobs and family keep them from reading a daily paper or from watching the news each night. Some voted for George Bush because they are inherently selfish and would never consider what is best for their community or their nation as a whole. Some voted for George Bush because they refuse to believe that his administrative rule changes or lack of enforcement of laws or rules (which were put into place to protect all of us) is now actually endangering our health and general welfare. Some voted for George Bush because they are not concerned that 44 million Americans are without health insurance or that over the last 3.5 years between 3 to 5 million more Americans are now classified as living in poverty. Some voted for George Bush because they never heard he wanted to re-classify mercury as a non-toxic or less toxic substance. Some voted for George Bush because of pride; the pride that tells you we are Americans, we donít have to consider the views of people outside of our country who disagree with us or who despise our leader. Some voted for George Bush because he ran the most deceptive political advertising in our history, which deflected attention from his own dismal record. Some voted for George Bush because they believe he is right. Some people voted for George Bush because they are unaware of the number of political appointments that he made of people from industry who are now regulating those same industries. Unfortunately for all of us as Americans, this means that George W. Bush was re-elected mostly for all of the wrong reasons. The question now is: Are we going to actively participate in what our President and other elected representatives are doing?

[Merope215]

110. I don't love you any less...

...but Lyle, I just can't love you any more.

How disappointing.
