Speaking from the steps of the Church Of the Divine Government, President Obama stood between Archangel Pelosi and Reid to introduce his ambitious plan for Universal Hotel Care. This single-payer hotel care bill would guarantee every American an affordable hotel room or suite in any city in the United States, with no co-pay. This is the latest piece of the puzzle of cradle to grave control over our lives. Who’s your daddy? The government.

Many years ago, when I started my career in L.A. as a television and film writer, I was under contract to a small production company headed by Michael Jaffee.

Michael was young, tasteful, talented and possessed a strong social conscience. He was the producer of the beautiful TV movie, A Woman Called Moses, starring Cicely Tyson, about the valiant abolitionist, Harriet Tubman, and is currently one of the producers of The Informant, starring Matt Damon.

and not gotten into so much trouble.

Did he call President Obama a liar? No. He said that what Obama said was a lie. A distinction, yes, but some would say a distinction without a difference.

So, to avoid future plunges into the quicksand of honesty and avoid being called a racist, a Confederatist, a negativist and the owner of a bad haircut, here are ten alternate ways he could have yelled out the truth about Obama’s health care lies.

Just saw again James Marsh’s wonderful documentary Man On Wire, about Phillipe Petit’s extraordinary wirewalk thirty-four years ago between the two rooftops of the now destroyed twin towers of the World Trade Center. Petit, France’s busking performer/provacateur, had been obsessed by the towers from the moment he read that they would be built. The film details the meticulous and sometimes haphazard preparations leading up to Petit’s jaunty trek on August 7th, 1974.

Just two weekends ago, on May 3, 2009, The Fantasticks held a 50th Anniversary Reunion for alumni and friends in New York and I was part of the celebration. This musical icon opened on May 3rd, 1960 at the 152 seat Sullivan Street Theater off-Broadway. It closed forty-two years later in January, 2002, after 17,231 consecutive performances, of which I played El Gallo approximately five hundred times in two six month stints in 1965 and 1967.

The story, being referred to as “The Bethesda Incident,” is just now emerging, several weeks after the fact. It is a chilling reminder of the high stakes game that is global warming, where ideologues rule.

The facts are these. Anticipating President Obama’s intention to go green in his desire to destroy the economy, sixteen SUV’s saw the handwriting on the wall and celebrated Earth day by committing suicide in Bethesda, Maryland yesterday.

With Plaxico cut, Giant fans everywhere were speculating about a first
round pick to replace him. Previous GM’s might have reached for someone
like that, in what is known as the Brian Alford Memorial Pick.

Not for want of trying, though. As you all know by now, JR offered
Cleveland a second and fifth for Braylon Edwards, but no players. Instead,
brilliantly thinking out of the box, Reese offered Cleveland BBI (BigBlueInteractive) web posters Jlukes, Margi,
AmishPatel and Big Blue ’56. Cleveland rejected the offer and demanded
Eric, J_Rud, Sal in Yonkers and an Asshat to be named later. The deal fell
through and Edwards remains a Brown. What can Browns do for you? The
answer: Nothing.

I had an eye-popping experience at Durham’s Teen Fest performance at NCC’s B.N. Duke Auditorium this past Saturday deserves a bit more.

Teen Fest presented a talent show for and by teenagers committed to fighting drugs, alcohol, abuse and gang violence among their peers. I got the heads-up from a John McCann column in the Herald-Sun, along with the notice that a long ago friend and colleague, Clifton Davis, of Amen fame was to be one of the judges. So I went.

I was on the road filming a trailer yesterday and one of my fellow actors had a copy of The Washington Post. A story there caught my eye.

It seems that the California Air Resources Board wants to legislate against black cars starting in 2012 because it requires so much energy to cool them.

For the link-challenged, this is the Post story. There are others.

Greenies call it saving the planet. I call it government interference of my rights, an interference I categorize under the rubric of tyranny.
