Another reason to like Gary Sinise in addition to his acting skills:
Sinise Named Spokesman for Veterans GroupNEW YORK (AP) - Gary Sinise will serve as the national spokesman for the Disabled Veterans for Life Memorial Foundation.
The actor, who played Vietnam vet "Lt. Dan" Taylor in "Forrest Gump," agreed to the spokesman position, it was announced Friday. The foundation is working to build a disabled veterans memorial in Washington D.C. near the Capitol.
"I am deeply moved to have been asked to participate in this absolutely necessary memorial," Sinise said in a statement. "I can only hope that my participation will help draw attention to the cause and ensure its successful fruition as the nation's first and only such tribute built specifically to these courageous men and women."

And Bruce Willis, who has gone to see the troops in Iraq and speaks openly about how much better things are going over there than is being reported.
|| Posted by Cait, November 13, 2005 06:26 AM ||Oooh ... and if anyone saw the episode of CSI:NY where Gary's character fired one of the CSIs, he made a _great_ statement:
"There are three things I will protect with my life: my country, the constitution, and this lab!"
(if anyone can find the exact quote, I'd love a copy - i have tried to find it to no avail)
OK, so the writers inked it, but to hear him _say_ it with such conviction!
Shivers, gotta tell ya, after the first two, I jumped up and said, "Yeah!"
My wife looked at me with that, look - ya all know it. :) You know, "Sheesh, you'll wake the kids!"
Take care everyone, God Bless America, and Happy Veteran's Day weekend!!!

Stupid People Bare Chests for Stupid Cause
Here is a good way to make yourself (and the 'cause' you represent) completely inane:
Not only are these nitwits arrested for this, but we've also got one of LA's Assemblywoman - Gloria Romero - acting like this was a grievous act to arrest them.Gloria, you dipstick: these dorks were warned by the CHP to not do what they did. They popped out their boobs and promptly got arrested. You should be arrested just on general principles for using it as a soapbox.
The thing that's really stupid is their name: Boobs not Bombs. Ummmm, ladies? There aren't any bombs in Sacramento unless you include you twerps taking off your shirts for a stupid reason.
Well, it could have been worse: there might have been a group of metrosexual men that were part of a group called 'Schlongs not Schwarzenegger'.....

actually the men's group is "Dicks not Drafts" or "Dicks not Death" depending on the sign you read.
Thank me for not sharing the link where I saw this...
|| Posted by caltechgirl, November 8, 2005 01:53 PM ||What's even worse, maybe, is that these were not nubile young women. We are probably talking sagging, ugly tits. These two (or 4) no doubt did more harm than good to the peace movement. With people like that, probably the cruelest thing that could happen is to be completely ignored. Nobody even give their hooters a second glance.
|| Posted by Cait, November 8, 2005 04:05 PM ||Cait-- you hit the nail on the head!! Yuck!
|| Posted by nathalie, November 9, 2005 09:56 PM ||I've seen some photos of a group of men & women that were going with out tops & pants with those slogans. It was NOT a pretty site.
|| Posted by Maeve, November 10, 2005 06:48 AM ||While I agree they should be arrested, this is not something that should be covered by the Sex Offender statute. No one's rights were violated (i.e. rape), they were just being stupid.
This is an example of the State twisting good laws (as they've done with the RICO laws/asset forfeiture) to threaten those that don't conform. Bull shit.

no big loss, whoever did it..... The only person missing "One-Pak", is his Mommy!
Murder is always a crime... Isn't this an issue better addressed by the state of Nevada, and the city of Lost Wages?
|| Posted by Tetzman, November 8, 2005 12:02 PM ||I'm a little hacked off that they are wasting their time and our money for something that should be covered by investigators in above mentioned state... otherwise I too will join the band wagon of "who cares?"

Prop 75 Exemplified
There's no need for Proposition 75 - the unions already allow it's members to 'opt out' from using their dues for political purposes.
Really? Then explain this:
Read More of "Prop 75 Exemplified"This is exactly why Prop 75 is on the ballot and exactly why it will pass - especially with a lot of public employee union members (and non-members) voting FOR it.
But of course, expect to see a lawsuit filed by the unions to have Prop 75 over-turned on November 9th that claims the proposition was voted on 'improperly' or some crap like that.....it's what happens almost every time that a proposition is passed by a majority of Californians voting YES on it only to be 'over-turned' in the courts by judges that fall for the plaintiffs whiny-ass excuses.
Just wait for it.
All done with "Prop 75 Exemplified"?

This seems a bit.....excessive and it makes me wonder: did the cat serve time in jail too!?
But then again - we all know the decay of the fabric of society that comes from allowing unlicensed felines to roam around at will. First, they'll pee in the yard to mark their territory and then it gets really intense: cats whizzing all over the place!!It's a good think this judge put a serious stop to this uncivilized behavior.

I don't know, Mikey.
Kinda have to go along with the judge. Better to stop it before it gets out of control
+ OT...
|| Posted by Rob@L&R, November 7, 2005 04:23 AM ||A story from your old school
Didn't realize you were from Fairfax Co. My brother and family lived in Dumfries for many years.
The cat thing. That's a bit overboard. I do understand the necessity for rabies shots, etc., but the city licensing is just a friggin' rip off. If an animal has had it's shots, etc., then why is there a need to "register" with the city? It already has the necessary records with the veterinarian.
