May each of you have the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute works that will leave the world a little better for your having been here. -- Ronald Reagan

Another Shut Up and ....... Moment

The fabulously wealthy and famous Angelina Jolie believes Thanksgiving is a tale of murder and oppression, the subjugation of one culture by another.

Jolie is a “B” movie actor, a female version of Tom Cruise that has made a bundle making second rate movies with second rate talent. Yet she uses her platform as a nominal actress to bash the country that has supported her. The idea that Thanksgiving is a tale of murder is ridiculous beyond measure. She’s even made sure she’s going to be out of the country.

Maybe she should stay out of the country; give back whatever percentage of her domestic movie sales since this country is so venal. Any future movies she makes should only be released in foreign markets.

Truly, people in the arts just need to shut up and ply their craft. In Jolie’s case, she can read a little history and find out what really happened in the early years of this country, and perhaps read George Washington’s proclamation about Thanksgiving. Get a clue and be thankful. Good grief.

I’ve only seen a couple of her movies, the “Tomb Raider” ones just because it’s a cartoon of mindless mayhem and kinda fun. I don’t think were she to accidentally make a good movie, I’d be inclined to see it. On this Thanksgiving, on of the things I’m thankful for is that I haven’t wasted much time and money on her movies.

"Just Look How Sexy My 3 Year Old Little Girl Is" Said Mom


Suri Cruise, three year old daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, often goes out dressed in high heels and makeup. They think it's cute, Katie Holmes saying she's just dressing up like mom. I remember little girls doing that at home, playing pretend grownups, not actually making these things their wardrobe.

As a result, several stores are selling clothes worthy of street walkers. Asda, Next and GapKids started to, but were called on the carpet by concern parents. Way to go parents!

This is part of sexualizing little girls, and one wonders how this could be a good thing. Why do moms not only let their children dress like this, but even promote it? The little girls in those beauty pageants for five and six year olds, dressing in over the top sexy clothes. What good can come from that? Padded bikini tops for girls as young as seven?

There are kiddie thongs. Kiddie t-shirts with pasties. Pole dancing dolls. Bruce Jenner's 9-year-old and 11-year-old daughters pole dancing. I heard an interview with a woman who's little girl was pole dancing, and mom said, "Who am to say what she can or can't do?" Say what? MOM. And where's the dads? They really don't care if their little girls are dressing up like hookers? I was at WalMart and a dad is walking with his little girl of about ten, wearing skin tight, low riding capri's (are they still called that?) low riders several inches below her naval and her butt crack showing, with mid-drift showing. I'm thinkin'..."Dad"....


Where are the liberal feminists on this? This is what the movement was about? Making everything about sex, little girls being led to believe their self esteem is tied up in appearing sexy. I remember when liberal feminists were outraged by Barbie!

A little off the subject, Perez Hilton published an upskirt shot of 17 year old singer Miley Cyrus, and is given a pass. He took the post down after some heat, but should not have posted it in the first place. He should receive some kind of sanction. Miley herself pole dances, and there's a vid of her grinding into the crotch of a 40 something old man. No big deal though, the guy's gay. Good grief.
