Mel Gibson. I love Mel. If you know me well than you know this already and you're not surprised he's the subject of my first blog. Now, his outburst in Malibu (you know the one) - uncalled for. But he was drinking and I've said things that weren't necessarily true while under the influence ('in vino veritas' is 'bullshitias'). But to hear about it ad nauseum...geezuz. So glad that's all quieted down. Now, this latest "tirade" he had at the university in California? I would've reacted the same way. I guess it's not sufficient to have one Mayan expert/consultant on your movie - YOU have to consult with every Mayan on the planet (didn't know there were that many around).

It's a sad state of affairs, but what are we supposed to do? The Mexican government clearly isn't doing much to discourage it's citizens from illegally entering our country and we need to get our own "house" in order before we worry about the rest of the world.
The Passion of the Christ. Excellent movie and no, I didn't think it anti-Sematic. That's all I'm gonna say on that subject.
Brett Favre. Someone else you knew I'd write about if you know me. He's comin' back for his 17th year in the NFL - 16th with the Green Bay Packers. He deserves his own separate blog with headline but that'll all come soon enough once the season begins. Brett will pr

ReplyDeletemel gibson? wow. okay, it's gonna take me a while to get over that. i guess it must be a straight guy thing. so how do you feel about michael richards?
and i hate to say it, but i think judging whether something is anti-semitic or not is probably best left up to the jews. if something is offensive to someone, i don't think it's our place to say "no it's not".
...illegals. what do you propose we do with the 7-20 million illegal immigrants who are in this country? just a question.
and by the way...peyton manning is my partner's second cousin.
