This was sent to me via a friend. It is quite an eye opener. I truly don't know if all of it is true but I think, and am afraid it is. WARNING! The language is rough!

The Audacity of Fame...
In the news recently we have two famous people who have done some things that I would call (in order) frakin' stupid, and the other arrogant.
Michael Phelps: Seen in a photo smoking dope from a bong. The stupid, stupid ass. Here he is, America's sweetheart and he proves to everyone that he ain't no better than some stoner surfer, he just has better endorsement. Smoking the dope is one thing, and for that I will have no respect for him. (Drug use is a major issue for me... drug use = loser in my book) Secondly, did he even think about this... after all the times that his teachers and what-not told him he would amount to nothing because of his ADHD or something like that, and the mother that would not beleive them and set him on a course to greatness. Then he goes and done something boneheaded like this... I guess he just proved all those people right. He would turn out to be a loser. Again, this just goes to prove my theory that most professional atheletes are over-medicated, over-paid, over-sexed assholes that do not need our adulations... and have no right being role models for our kids.
Christian Bale: Verbally lambasting a movie crew member on the set of Terminator; Salvation. Have you heard this diatribe? Holy Crap! He is one angry individual who needs to take himself a little less seriously. Afterall, he is only Christian Bale, the so-so actor of action movies. He must think he is someone very important to make the threats that he made to this crew member. Like most actors, because of the praise and recognition we give them -- for ACTING -- they begin to believe that they are entitled or deserve special treatment, or worse, think we really want to hear their original thoughts. I have not heard many actors say anything really intelligent on their own. Most of what they say has been written for them, so all the good stuff is made up anyway. Chill out Christian Bale. Go have a drink...
I have heard this alot lately since the election... "Too Big to Fail..."
You are never "too big to fail." Unless you forget that. These guys seem to have.

And you thought American Animal Righters were loopy!!!
Here is a short blurb from the my local paper. I will reprint in it's entirety. It is part of the Earth Week: Diary of the Planet articles that appear in many newpapers and is distributed by Universal Press Syndicate.
Here goes... you won't believe this.
Swiss Animal Rights.
Strict new laws that went into effect across Switzerland on Sept. 1 have some wondering if legislators have overreached in efforts to safeguard the animal kingdom. It is now illegal to flush live goldfish down the toilet. The law stipulates that they must first be knocked out and killed before being disposed of. Fishermen may no longer practice catch and release fishing, and the use of live bait is prohibited. Pets such as parrots and hamsters may no longer be kept by themselves, and livestock such as sheep and goats must have at least "a visual contact with their fellows," under the new law. Dog owners are now required to take classes to learn how to keep their pets from biting. Even with regulations saying that pigs have a legal right (my emphasis)to shower and freshen up after roling in the mud, the country's leading animal rights group, STS, says the new law doesn't go far enough.
Holy Crap. Not far enough? Legal rights to shower for pigs? I think that too many centuries of neutrality has rotted the brains of Swiss legislators. I really don't know what to say of this. Apparently, some law makers in Switzerland are taking big bankrolls from the animal rights group, otherwise I cannot imagine anyone in their right minds coming up with laws like this. I believe in the ethical treatment of animals, but not to the point where you elevate them to human status! Oh I am so disappointed in the Swiss.
