&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;At least when Sharon Stone does the Sharon Stone thing, one has a good idea what they will see. Mann Coulter doing the Sharon Stone thing, who knows?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Perhaps there will be a superimposed angry face there…like in Terry Gilliam’s old cutout animations for Python. Smut, smut, smut! I’ve had enough of this. Get ‘er off the telly.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;In other music news, it’s also the birthday of John Waite (”I Ain’t Missin’ You” was his most memorable hit, and it was recently re-recorded as a duet with JW and Alison Kraus). Always liked the tune; I plan to sing it very loudly as BushCo leaves office.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Honestly, &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;During the Clinton years Geraldo was my Olbermann.  Then something happened and we lost him.  I mean he got “different”.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I remember toward the end that he discussed occasionally something about “addictions”.  My thoughts and prayers are with him for what he brought me during those difficult years.  I have assumed that perhaps something got the better of him for awhile.  I still remember toensing on his show, Coulter, but back then he used to make mincemeat of their arguements. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Haven’t thought of him in years.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’m with you on all you wrote above. I’d watch his show, then talk to my pals who didn’t have cable — telling them what was discussed, and they’d be surprised by the info they weren’t getting on the networkd news.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I won’t even trash him for his Al Capone show. I still enjoyed it, even though it came up empty. It was fun, and we *did* find out what was in there.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;9/11 touched Geraldo very personally and made him militant and supportive of Bush’s war lust, but seeing him on O’Reilly’s show made me think he may be coming back to his senses. Somewhat.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Oh my.  Oh MY!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ten minutes ago I sat crying—literally crying, viewing Keith Olberman’s commentary from yesterday.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And then I come along here, and had to bust out laughing.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bad lady, bad.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But thanks for it.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Glad I could help, Ren.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I was watching KKK at the Clinton School of Public Service at the U of Arkansas today, and I am convinced he is enfatuated with Hillary Clinton. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On that note, it is my firm belief that the Boomer generation, with exceptions obviously, are made up of two groups of people (excluding the ladies, and I don’t intend to demean their role, but dealing only with the guys fits in to the analogy): The Billy Clintons, John Kerrys, Ted Kennedys, Al Gores and others who were cool, handsome, smoked some grass, partied, got laid AN AWFUL LOT, and pretty much got their say from the 60’s, fought and won many battles during the 80’s and owned the 90s. I’ll call them the Cool Guys.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The other group of guys, The Nerds, are made up of KKK, Tom Delay, Rush Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich and others who were losers, not so bright, did not do drugs, did NOT SCORE WITH THE LADIES, have terrible sex, or in Rush’s case, only with 14 year old Dom. Rep. girls, and got their asses handed to them by the Cool Guys in DC and in the culture wars. They bided their time, fought dirty, lied, cheated and stole, found someone who was on the fringe of the Cool Guys, propped him up, stole a couple of elections and now have run this country’s principals into the ground. They aren’t “Republicans”, because most who consider themselves republicans are tired of these guys–Hell, H.W. fired Rove, for cryin’ out loud. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is the Revenge of the Nerds.  I applaud the Cool Guys–I think they have done a helluva job, but for every hero there must be a villain.  It is time to rid the political stage of both sides and start over.  Give them their gold watches and bid adieu.  It is time to get rid of them, and their arch enemies, the Cool Guys, out of DC and move in some fresh blood. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Edwards or Obama for President–Evan Biah for Vice President.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;I need to return to school. Or get a really good reading list together. My brain is in a constant state of expansion here at FDL. I am a pup ever learning. :):&gt;:}:P&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Does that mean an idealist is not a materialist? Can the person  draw from both without being schizophrenic?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Absolutely&lt;/p&gt;</description>
