Speaking of Danny Kaye, almost no one other than Donald Spoto, who famously misreads everything, thought Olivier and Kaye were lovers. But few have denied that Olivier was a bisexual (other than Tarquin Olivier, his eldest child), and even Joan Plowright has alluded to it (though earlier in her career she explicitly denied it).\ \ What''s the full story? He would have been a GREAT fuck.
Once again, birtherism raises its ugly head, proving that when it comes to stupidity, we sure do have a bumper crop this year. This time, it comes courtesy of the Iowa Republican Party, which is actually inserting birtherism into its official party platform: The Iowa GOP’s 2012 platform includes a section that calls President Obama's citizenship into question, and the chairman of the platform committee says the plank is a "shot" at the president. "There are many Republicans who feel that Barack Obama is not a 'natural born citizen' because his father was not an American when he was born and, therefore, feel that according to the Constitution he's not qualified to be president, should not have been allowed to be elected by the Electoral College or even nominated by the Democratic Party in 2008, so this is an election year. It's a shot at him," Don Racheter told Radio Iowa. (source: Huffington Post) Yes, it's a shot at Obama. It's also a shot at Thomas Jefferson, whose mother was born in England. Also, at Presidents Andrew Jackson, James Buchanan, Chester Arthur, Woodrow Wilson, and Herbert Hoover, each of whom had at least one foreign-born parent. By Racheter's logic, none of them were "really" presidents. Oh, and it's also incredibly stupid, given that Barack Obama himself was born in America, making the point moot. But apparently, "many" people believing something is enough to make something platform-worthy, even if it's completely asinine. Send Don Racheter and the Iowa Republican Party a message: Tell them you oppose this asinine provision, and you condemn their effort to "un-elect" Thomas Jefferson and the numerous other Presidents who followed him.
Seems like everyone in Hollywood has one that needs to be fixed as soon as they earn a little pocket change!

Rachael Maddow was just talking about this, and she's got a very good point. I always thought that Darth Cheney was the evil one, but I'm not a Conservative so WTF do I know?

If Romney is elected he will be able to nominate at least ONE Supreme Court Justice - replacing a moderate or liberal one with another right-winger. That is all it will take to permanently shift the most powerful body in the land. Do you really want that?

An unusually large man in Wisconsin called the police recently after an all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant decided he’d had enough fried fish and cut him off at 20 pieces. Standing 6-foot-6 and weighing 350 pounds, Bill Wisth certainly looks like trouble for any buffet restaurant. Chuck’s Place in Thiensville, Wisconsin recently learned this the hard way, according to Wisconsin news station Today’s TMJ4. After watching Wisth devour 12 individual pieces of fried fish on Friday, May 11, the management decided that was quite enough. They intervened, explaining the restaurant was running out of fish and simply could not allow him to stay any longer. Giving him eight more pieces as a courtesy, for a total of 20, the restaurant’s management sent Wisth on his way in hopes that the costly episode was behind them. That hope, however, was severely misplaced. According to reporter Annie Scholtz, Wisth left the restaurant incensed, then he called the police. He returned two days later with a protest sign, and the television cameras were soon to follow. “It’s false advertising,” he explained in a local news segment broadcast Monday night. “I think people have to stand up for consumers.” A waitress at the restaurant told Scholtz that Wisth has been a problem customer before, and that he’s even been allowed to carry a tab with them that remains unpaid. Despite their prior generosity, Wisth said he still plans to picket the restaurant every Sunday until his demand for a truly endless supply of food is met.
Overweight Man Calls Police After Being Cut Off by All-You-Can-Eat Restaurant
I recently adopted a baby. Lately, one family member in particular has been getting on my case about how to do and not to do things, being very critical, spouting off statistics etc -- all under the guise of "help." It comes off as very grating and almost insulting. This is a person who lives in my town, whom I see a fair amount. How can I nicely get her to stop? I'm sure that some of you DL'ers must have children, plus sarcastically witty retorts.

One of the more amusing things revealed last week when Arizona’s secretary of state came out as birther was that Hawaii officials just simply don’t believe he’s qualified to investigate Barack Obama’s birth certificate. “Hello Jill. I just left you a brief voice mail message,” Arizona Deputy Secretary of State Jim Drake wrote in an email to a Hawaii attorney on May 1. “I am wondering whether you can give me a ballpark timeframe on our request. As you know, the closer we get to November, the more my phone rings. I believe that having Hawaii’s response on hand might help to quell the inquiries!” Deputy Attorney General Jill Nagamine’s response? “We need more information to substantiate that you are eligible to receive verification.” In an interview with the Associated Press late Friday, a spokesman for the Hawaii attorney general said Bennett still has yet to show that he legitimately needs a verification of Hawaii’s birth certificate despite numerous emails back and forth. Hawaii has been overloaded for years with requests for verification of the president’s birth certificate, getting as many as 50 new requests a month. Hawaii officials have passed laws and filed sworn affidavits to deal with the matter. The White House has even gone as far as to release a copy of the president’s long-form birth certificate to the public. Yet requests like Bennett’s still keep coming.

The current Daryl Hannah; pretty enough, ok in some roles, but a career that isn't going to go far.
