United Hollywood - 'What's with the "Layin' Low"?'

Well, I'll tell ya why I haven't been writing much. Because, I too, am "on strike" with my brothers and sisters of solidarity!

And why not? WGA members and supporters are bloggin' on BLOGSPOT, too!

OK. I don't get paid to write in this blog, but who cares? Maybe I'll add some Adsense to this tripe later.

I have two friends that are IATSE, and they are just sitting around. Me, too.

I am a member of 10-208 and I am behind you all the way.

The editors of W.IN.E are spelling-bee chumps !

The Women's Entertainment 'zine out of Chi-town [Henley & Ass. Entertainment, Inc.] is fooling us all - men & women - with their idiotic misspellings and constant misrepresentations embarrassing everyone that comes under their path.

Either that, or just get whomever is proof-reading your zine AND website (just a boiler-plate of the zine, word-for-word) a different job - because they SUCK HARD at proofing! Oh, wait. My staff informs me that the Editor is also the Publisher. OK.

And the current issue? Pa-Lease, which ONE of the four women on the cover have ANYTHING to do with Chicago? OK, you have to forgive our "staff" here at P:C?, because as the zine proves, it is only distributed in Chicago, so ANYONE with a BRAIN would assume that the zine is for CHICAGO women of Talent - but, this is never explained. Just what is your "vision" Ms. H.? We really don't get it, and never will - unless you "...esplain, Lucy!".

She calls her typically 11-page "tome" a "Mega-Magazine"; moron. Sorry, I mean Cutie-Pie BooBoo. She page numbers the back cover! It's a FULL-PAGE ADVERTISEMENT! You do NOT number full-page ads - not ever.

And as far as content goes, Kimora does not go by "Kimora Lee", she goes by KIMORA or KIMORA LEE SIMMONS or KLS. You would know that if you bothered to watch her show or glance at her website or actually ask her in an interview that you conducted yourself!

JOSS! Nice bird, that! But, you just have to luv those Brits trying to COP the Motown sound - without even asking any of the old townees to be in on the sessions! The drummer on the L.O.V.E. track is a BRITISH-born studio cat, and mostly a bass player (you can definitely hear that in his playing!)

Valeisha Butterfield - there is NO WAY you have permission to use that promo shot of her that was obviously lifted from imdb.com ! The WINE zine talks about this group of WINErs getting together to form an ad hoc union of sorts, in order to sort out or "ween" us all from RAPs evil lyrics - except that Ms. B was supposed to marry RAPPER The Game back in March of this year (007), I really don't see a conflict of interest unless of course The Game ain't all that , because if he was, he would certainly have to have lyric content extolling the Stole, the Bling, the Bitches & Hos, and Goin' to the Club.

Ya, "The Game"'s got lyrics and titles that really elevate the mind of all humans, like: Walk Wit Me, Real N****s Stand Up (our staff assures me that N****s really means NiggAs - this, I did not know, because I guess I mis-counted the ASS-TERICKS, it's OK if you say NiggA, if yer white and yer wit black folk, and if a wiggA wannA live), That's Presidents, It Gets Thicker (prolly talkin' 'bout his dick). Yep - really fuckin' elevatin', mutha fuckaz!

Holy FUCK-all. Nice bottle of WINE you got there!

What a load of crap.

Well, we at least are giving them some "pub" and net-cred; HEY, I am actually linking back to their site - so you can at least examine the spelling eros we caught!

China is a plate

China is a plate. I eat most of my food off of plates! I eat fine food off my fine china. At least, saying this, I am identifying china as a state of mind; in a plate state.

For for thought?

Well, Tibet can be said to be a state of mind. Now there I go, trying to seperate Tibet from it's china.

China is a plate, and Tibet is a state - or, at least it should be.

Who cares, China will forget all about Tibet after an hour anyway. Food for thought.

William, you Ass hole...

OK, so I paraphrased Mamet, but who wouldn't when confronted with this bull shit?
Microsoft's latest (Today's date: October 9th, 2007 Tuesday - Black Tuesday, they call it): Microsoft's latest update included IE7 "Security" update, this time installing into the IE7 core - a KEY LOGGER.

Fuck you, William, and the Trojan Horse you rode in on!

ASS hole.

Flag your enthusiasm.

The American Flag, when flown on US owned or operated land, flies highest above all other flags.

Come on, people, read the code. It's not that difficult. Unless you don't read English - then that is a problem.

And, I will learn to speak Mexican when someone pays for my copy of Rosetta Stone Software. But, that is only fair as Mexicans can learn English on my tax dime.

And, speaking of iFilm (More-ons), please. Just die.

Glen Beck? You go girlie-man! Then, again , Mr. Beck did prove that he could at least guest star - if not consult for - NBC's The Office...and this iFilm catch really is the ONLY time they have found actual EVIDENCE of gaf. On the other hand, even after Mr. Beck's uncomfortable moment (he's no Robin Williams), his sexy hottie guest was able to recover - and perhaps her total silence was all that was needed to put Glen in check. No apology needed. That would be too PC for this blog anyway!

WalFart: The High Cost of Low Price

Executives at WalFart:

WARNING - THIS IS THE START OF YOUR VERY OWN EXECUTIVE VIRTUAL SWEAT SHOP.

Get it? No? Read on....

According to reports that I have seen, very soon all of your accounting systems will not only be audited*, but will be locked out from hour-shifting.

Also, I have seen reports that verify that all illegal aliens used at WalFart will no longer be made available for work at WalFart stores. This, as far as I can tell, is effective immediately.

Of course, these reports are confidential and will have to remain so. I was not allowed to keep nor make copies of the reports. The team will start its research in Illinois.

"Good luck", WalFart. And, Good Bye.

Morons. Think Belmont, assholes.

Stop Wal-Mart Sweatshops Globally

oops! You've been fuckin' up WalMart. Maybe WalMart should be split in to two companies, one called Wal, and the other called Mart.

Face it = you are done.



WALMART EXECUTIVES, DO YOU UNDERSTAND NOW?



*auditing will not necessarily be conducted by actual government officials; remember the old IT saying? "We read your email".

Also, all corporate flights will now be monitored daily by FAA.

gaffe

I now quote a not-so-famous blogger/educator from a recent News article and add commentary, fact/rumor, and at the same time factor in some more criminal justice (one more ox, moron):

CLC trustees and their $145,000 gaffe

June 28, 2007

The Board of Trustees of the College of Lake County have yet again given themselves another "black eye" this time in their handling of the resignation of College President Richard Fonte.

But let's be honest. It is much less a voluntary resignation than it is a deal to have Fonte disappear.

His off-campus post as an assistant to the board chairman is a sham and part of a plan to sweep the board's long standing list of goofs, gaffes and idiotic decisions under the rug. However, this time the board's incompetence is costing the taxpayers of the county $145,000 to cover up.

Let's recap for a moment. When Dr. Dan LaVista left the college Dr. Gretchen Naff, then vice president, was told that she could (A) remain as vice president and throw her hat in the ring for the president's job or (B) take the position of interim president and not be eligible as a candidate for the permanent position of president. Dr. Naff chose to take the position of interim president but even though ineligible for the position, lo and behold! was appointed president by the board anyway in spite of the fact that they violated their own policy.

After Naff's announcement to retire, the board conducted a search for a new president by organizing an internal search committee made up of faculty and administrators, as is customary, and also hired a consulting firm for thousands of dollars to assist in the process, which was not customary.

The committee offered three or four acceptable candidates to the board for consideration but all candidates were rejected. The board then organized another committee and hired, once again, the same consulting firm from the first effort and once again forked over thousands of dollars and conducted a second search.

This time they found a winner in Dr. Richard Fonte who was not the first choice of the committee but was, coincidently, a close friend of trustee (apparently for life) Richard Anderson. Dr. Fonte needed three more years of service under Illinois's State University Retirement System to nab a nice pension.

Don't ya love it when all these coincidents and random events come together? What Fonte did to substantially change his "personal life" so that he must resign is a mystery to everyone except Fonte, the board and their respective lawyers.

So, when is this abuse of public office and the public coffers going to end? When are the members of CLC's Board of Trustees going to be held accountable to the people who, mistakenly, elected them to office?

I'm not sure we can wait for elections that come about every two years. The place may be in ruins by then. Maybe we need to petition the Attorney General's office and request an investigation into the conduct of the board.

Oh, and to top it all off, it is expected that board Chair William Griffin will be appointed interim president even though he has no academic credentials or experience as an administrator in higher education whatsoever. I guess that's politics in Lake County. And it's very scary.

MY TURN/THOMAS ARNOLD

----------------------------end of plagiarism copy---------------------------------

First, the SPELL CHECK, TOM!

As an educator, you should be ashamed. Your use of spelling is probably worse than 18 months of "hell". Honestly, how do you spell coincidence? No, you don't!
And, it's Attorney's General - even when speaking of the one.
Coincidentally and coincidences are the two proper ways of spelling each.

That was silly of me perhaps, but now here is...........COMMENTARY!

The only fact/rumor I see missing from this tome is from the first search team, there were 5 candidates all recognised as "A+" before each was to speak in public forum and before either was to meet for first offer/negotiation. One gentleman was approached, offered $180,000, he wanted $200,000, and apparently was not willing to budge on that amount (perhaps, did he decline the "company car" as well?). The remaining "others" from the A+ group were summarily dismissed from any offers, by order of the CLC Board - can that be right? (More Fact/Rumor than Rumor/Fact, I should think.)

For the difference of $20,000 - barely covering the cost of the usual presidential "company car" - a nano amount, really. Nano? Yes, referring to the distinguished, gray-haired gentleman in question, who I liked to call "The Nano-Tech President"; after all, he really was pushing nano-technology, and if it wasn't for his previous involvement in school television media appearances (a la carte "fireside chats"), I would have been bored to nano-proportions.

The fact/rumor I see mentioned here, regarding "personal life" and whether or not the board know, the lawyers know? I don't get that one, Tom. Fonte would not have had to divulge anything about his "personal life" nor reasons of change in his life in order to seek release from his contract. His resignation would not have had to have been "requested" by the board, either. (Probably more rumor/fact than fact/rumor.)

So, extending Mr. Arnold's logic, we can surely see that Chairman Griffin could easily be hired as CLC's new President - after having been appointed as interim president for........a while.

Judging on who was foisted upon CLC for the last 18 months, I believe a "no experience necessary" president is what CLC really needs for the present and at least her near future. OR, Mr. Griffin has seen 18 months of how not to do it, and by extension, holds the requisite experiences.

Following Mr. Arnold's logic, that is.

The title of Tom's Tome is "CLC trustees and their $145,000 gaffe", and being sure, that I am, that Tom means by gaffe, here, its secondary meaning, that we at CLC must apply its antonym, and quick. In that regard, I now declare the Main Lobby "back in the game" ! But, then after "clean ups", enclose it in Plexiglas and install sound-proof doors to the lecture halls.

Seeing Red

I am so not happy.
I am seeing red, White, blue...

I need to save
I need to save my interest, if it wasn't so high (if I wasn't so "high")
If I could just blow my own rate, my interest would rise?

I need to save
I need to save myself, but
Before I can save myself
I am going to have to save the whales.
Or save for a rainy day

I still need to save
perhaps I'll save the whales for a rainy day,
God...knows that Whales is worth saving (or at least worthy of some recognition)
I'll save Whales...no, I'll hide Whales.

Meanwhile, I was home looking for...
MAN: looking for something - to self "Where did I put that thing. (pause) I know I left it here. (pause) Godammit!. " to Honey "HONEY, HAVE YOU SEEN INDONESIA. I'VE LOOKED EVERYWHERE. I JUST DON'T SEE IT." to audience
"Indonesia eluded me."

HONEY: walking in "Have you checked under the carpet? I may have swept it under there - right with that other land mass or whatever it was..."

MAN: "OK, I THINK I SEE IT - WAIT- WAIT - NO. THAT'S JUST FRANCE."

HONEY: "Stop shouting, I'm right here."

I've saved enough, I think. Although Indonesia has eluded, my saving is conluded.
