Fame at last
Category Movie Appearance
Last night I settled down to watch a satirical English movie "In the Loop" about the British Prime Minister and the US president trying to find ways to launch a war in the Middle East (as if anything like that could happen), very funny by the way, but the language isn't suitable for children and people who like Glenn Beck may not find it funny. Anyway, in the first few minutes of the movie, I sat there thinking I know that place, that's right outside the hotel where I stayed for Collaboration University, and then I got a stronger memory, I remembered seeing some folks with cameras across the road filming people behind me one morning when I was walking to the UK Lotus User Group Meeting, which placed this recording at around September 2008, so at the end of the movie, I decided to jump back and check the shots again, and who should I see in his debut movie appearance, but...
Where are my royalties I wonder? Can I get a Screen Actors Guild card now?

They obviously thought you did great as you didn't end on the cutting room floor.
Ok. I'll bite on the movie's bias, because it caused me to think about what you said regarding who would be offended ...
Actually, I would think the listeners of Glenn Beck would agree with that movie's baseline! They don't like the wars there. I think you might be right about them not possibly thinking its funny, though. They are already offended by the US government (especially Congress) over the last 10 years. They are constitutionalists and libertarians. Small federal government that does only what's in its constitutional mandate explicitly, self sufficiency, independance, and a military that's for defense only. They don't like the spending and don't like the special interests that control/influence Congress. Yep, they wouldn't think it's funny - they are already offended, just not by the movie.
Now the listeners of Hannity...

Honestly, I don't know. Probably so would be my guess. After 9/11 just about everybody was. I didn't follow politics much until 9/11.
I first watched an episode back when he was on CNN. I remember he had pitchforks in trash cans behind him and some cube neighbors where I was contracting at the time had just slammed him the day before. It was the pitchforks that made me watch, mostly because I wanted to know why he had pitch forks in trash cans -- evidently his viewers that support him sent them. He was talking about corruption, waste, and &!it% Republicans who spend too much. I watched him a few days ago, he was saying the same thing complaing about deficit spending from Congress. No pitchforks though. He as a red phone now for the White House to call to make any corrections - they haven't called. I wonder what happened to them all...
(The pitchforks not the Republicans or white house staff.)
Great post on the Indians yesterday. Yes, I don't remember any at LS; that's sad. Lots of Europeans though
