  • >From BBC: Dana Reeve campaigned in favour of stem cell research Personalities including Hillary Clinton have attended a memorial service for Dana Reeve, actress and widow of Superman actor Christopher Reeve. Actor Philip Seymour Hoffman was among those at the New York service. New York senator Mrs Clinton said Reeve was "one of the most exceptional people I have ever known". Reeve, 44, cared for her husband after he was paralysed in an accident, and led his charity fund. She died of lung cancer in March. Speaking after the service, Mrs Clinton - wife of former President Bill Clinton - said it had been "a very fitting tribute". "She had a light within her that was captured by the way people talked about her today, especially her son and stepchildren," she said. The Producers actor Matthew Broderick said the two-hour private service had been "beautiful but very, very sad". CNN news presenter Paula Zahn, a long-time friend, said she had not resorted to self-pity after being diagnosed with cancer and "had a positive impact on everyone and everything she touched". "She really expected to come home," said Zahn. "She truly believed she had more time." Other celebrities attending included actor and comedian Robin Williams, cyclist Lance Armstrong and US TV presenter Barbara Walters. Reeve, a non-smoker all her life, was a singer when she met her husband. They married in 1992 and celebrated the arrival of son Will in the same year. Christopher Reeve also had two grown-up children from his first marriage, called Matthew and Alexandra. All three of Reeve's children attended the service at the New Amsterdam Theatre. Three years later after the couple's marriage, Christopher Reeve suffered a riding accident and was left paralysed from the neck down. The Aviator actor Alec Baldwin attended the memorial service Dana Reeve devoted her life to his care, and immediately gave up her career. Her acting credits included guest appearances in police dramas Law And Order and Feds. She also played Wendy Schulz in a number of episodes of prison series Oz. Reeve took over her husband's work at the Christopher Reeve Foundation after his death in October 2004 at the age of 52 from an infection resulting from a pressure wound. In November last year, she said she was responding well to treatment.
  • http://www.smh.com.au/news/film/mission-improbable-for-a-firsttime-director/ 2006/04/10/1144521269806.html Mission improbable for a first-time director April 11, 2006 Garry Maddox meets the first-time director who made a Tom Cruise movie. A PLANE crash on a tropical island. A polar bear. And Tom Cruise. It's been quite a couple of years for J.J.Abrams. While filming the pilot for Lost in Hawaii, the co-creator of the hit television series took an unexpected phone call from the world's biggest movie star. Impressed by Alias, another successful series that Abrams created, Cruise suggested they hang out back in Los Angeles. "I thought 'what?,"' the director says. "That's insane." That unlikely invitation led to meetings, dinners, then an offer to direct Mission: Impossible III when Narc's Joe Carnahan dropped out. "It was the most surreal, unexpected thing of all time," Abrams says of the offer. The quick-witted filmmaker was in Sydney yesterday, on a promotional tour with actress Michelle Monaghan before the movie's release on May 4. The movie is yet to arrive, with just eight minutes available to screen for journalists so far. They show Oscar-winner Philip Seymour Hoffman as a villain and Monaghan as Ethan Hunt's (Cruise's) love interest. There's also the traditional Mission: Impossible action, with Hunt evading missiles amid a tangle of overturned vehicles on a bridge. Cruise has, of course, attracted more than his share of wacky headlines lately over his relationship with Katie Holmes and his interest in Scientology. "I think he's a very passionate guy," says Abrams. "So my guess is all of it stems from that - his commitment to whatever it is he believes in, including me on this movie . "All the noise and everything that has been in the press feels very incongruous with the experience of the day-to-day working with this guy." Abrams started out in movies, writing Regarding Henry, Forever Young and Armageddon, before creating the TV series Felicity. He was surprised to learn that Mission: Impossible III is reputedly the most expensive movie - a budget of $US150 million ($206 million) said one report - for a first-time director in Hollywood history. "I'm glad no one said that to me before we wrapped," Abrams says. "I probably would have just had to stay home, catatonic in the foetal position." As for his latest hit series, will viewers eventually understand what Lost is all about? " Lost will never be The Sixth Sense - 'oh, he's dead'," Abrams says. "It's not that kind of experience . the idea of Lost was always in many ways to create a sort of tapestry of character and backstory and situation that over time reveals itself. "But as you can see in the latest episodes, it's hardly a show that doesn't answer questions. It might raise other ones but it certainly answers those that are out there."
  • http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060410/ap_en_tv/tv_sopranos_gay_mobster;_ylt=Auef_ZBVwWvslv93HObUYu1X24cA;_ylu=X3oDMTA5aHJvMDdwBHNlYwN5bmNhdA-- By DOUGLAS J. ROWE, AP Entertainment Writer 47 minutes ago NEW YORK - Now the question for viewers of "The Sopranos" is: Will Vito eat the barrel of his gun? Or will he lack the guts, then get whacked by his appalled paisans? Fans could be overheard waging bets Monday outside Manhattan buildings. "Five bucks, he doesn't have another line," said one. "Not counting flashbacks?" wondered another. Wearing appropriate leather-bar attire, Vito Spatafore - the heretofore closeted gay mobster - was sighted in Sunday night's episode (stop reading now if you want to watch it later) by a couple of wiseguys who came by the sweaty S&M joint to collect their protection money. "It's a joke," Vito tries to explain to the duo. Finally he begs: "Don't say nothin'!" By the end of the show, the crestfallen Vito - played by Joseph R. Gannascoli - has checked into a motel, looking suicidally at his gun on the nightstand. Fans of the HBO series were stunned last season when Meadow's boyfriend, Finn, saw a security guard sitting in the driver's seat of a truck - and then Vito's head popped up. This season, Vito has hung around the hospital while Tony Soprano was recovering from a gunshot wound, trying to ingratiate himself with Tony's wife while plotting with Paulie Walnuts to grab her cut of a big score. And he's chomped on carrots while prattling on about all the weight he's losing. (In real life, he's down to 260 from a high of 400 pounds.) Now that the gay story line is heating up, Gannascoli is immensely pleased, in part because it was his idea to make Vito homosexual. "I saw him as, like, a cross between Mike Tyson and Liberace," the 47-year-old Brooklyn-born actor told The Associated Press in an interview at his home. "I wanted to make him sort of in self-denial, self-loathing, a real gay hater." Gannascoli's suggestion was inspired by the book "Murder Machine," about the Gambino family, which had an openly gay member also named Vito. "They didn't bother him about it, because I guess he was good at what he did, which was chopping up bodies," Gannascoli said. Gannascoli concedes that he had a self-serving motivation for making the suggestion: Breaking out of the pack. "I thought that was a way of separating myself from the other actors, because I would have been in the background most of the time. You know, line here, line there, and nothing really substantial," said Gannascoli, whose character previously was best known for whacking Jackie Aprile Jr. "To really make an impact is all I can ask for." He also thought it would create an interesting acting challenge. But even in a year that has seen "Brokeback Mountain" become a cultural phenomenon and Philip Seymour Hoffman win an Oscar playing Truman Capote, Gannascoli knows the reaction to Vito won't be all positive. "I'm a Brooklyn guy. I was just in Brooklyn last night. And, you know, I had some real wise guys that look at me and they give me dirty looks. I've had guys, like, come after me in clubs," he said. He just hopes the "cerebral people" will appreciate his performance. Gannascoli said "The Sopranos" has changed his life "in so many ways." "Recognition, I'd say, the most. It allowed me to get married." It's also allowed Gannascoli to buy his house ("which coming from a rent-controlled apartment all my life was a huge step up"), get his novel published ("A Meal to Die For," loosely based on his life in the restaurant business) and develop a signature line of food (olive oil, tomato sauce, barbecue sauce, salsa and wine). "While I'm not going to be cheffing anymore, I'm going to be still involved in food. Which is one of my passions." He considered becoming a lawyer like his older brother but dropped out of St. John's University after two years. He did well the first year but by his second year, "I had a huge Quaalude business" that sidetracked him. ("I was hustlin', you know.") He then bounced around, working at various New York restaurants and becoming a "self-taught" kitchen magician. He even headed to New Orleans and learned Cajun cooking in the '80s. He owned all or part of a few restaurants over the years, but disliked the "day-to-day machinations" of keeping them going. It was during one of his numerous food-service jobs when acting felt like the dish of the day. A waiter-friend (who, like so many in New York, also was an aspiring actor) urged him to audition for a play. He got the role and started taking acting lessons. But he soon found himself pushing an ice-cream cart on Wall Street before eventually opening another eatery. He got burnt out from working 9 a.m. to 2 at night and started gambling heavily. On the last day of the 1990 pro football regular season he was in a hole. Like any desperate gambler, he tried to win it back fast. "Cody Carlson is responsible for my acting," Gannascoli joked, able to laugh about it now. The backup Houston Oilers quarterback started in place of injured Hall of Famer Warren Moon and had a great game against betting favorite Pittsburgh. The Steelers lost, and Gannascoli was out $60,000. Gannascoli paid off his debts with equity from his restaurant, thus avoiding a real-life leg-breaking - or worse - and then decided to head to L.A. On the West Coast, he met Benicio Del Toro, which led to an audition and small role in the 1993 feature "Money for Nothing" - and a meeting with Georgianne Walken ( Christopher Walken's wife) and Sheila Jaffe. Both Jaffe and Walken are casting directors who've chosen actors for roles in scores of films and TV shows - including "The Sopranos." Gannascoli underwent hip-replacement surgery last week and hopes the increased mobility will help him exercise and lose more weight. But while controlling his Falstaffian appetites, he'd loved to develop a hybrid cooking/sports show. He'd have a famous athlete as a guest and they'd cook up one of the player's favorite dishes while talking about his career and showing clips. He'd like to call it "Food Bowl."

Who was? Amy Adams in Junebug? Never heard of her or her movie. And audiences will continue to tune out in droves year after year until the Academy begins to correct the boring nature of its own program. Not a single, dang durn viewer gives a shitizzle about the President of the Academy coming out onto the stage and addressing the audience on the importance of film and motion pictures. Nobody cares about all these retrospectives. The Academy only has about six major categories, and they front load the beginning of the show with one major award, then tease everyone along for the rest of the interminably long show to get to the last major categories. The show always runs long. It ought to take a cue from the Golden Globes. The show needs more categories as well. It's too conservative. ------------------------------­------------------------------­----- ICEBREAKER "You know, I probably wasn't abducted by aliens. Come to think of it, I was raped by teenagers."

  • NY DAILY NEWS...RUSH AND MOLLOY Hollywood's hot couples were out in force on Oscar night. But while some bronzed themselves in camera flash, others dodged the shooters. Madonna did her best to dispel rumors of marital discord by making sure every photographer outside the Vanity Fair party got a picture of her with smiling husband Guy Ritchie. Likewise, reunited couple Nicollette Sheridan and Michael Bolton trumpeted their love. "I'm a lucky palooka," Bolton told us as he admired his Desperate Housewife. He even sang to her: "Love is lovelier, the second time around ..." Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn, on the other hand, came =ADseparately to editor Graydon Carter's exclusive party at Morton's. Seeing him, Aniston screamed, "Baby!" and ran over to her big lug for a long kiss. Later, they evaded the lensmen by sneaking out a side exit. George Clooney and Krista Allen also kept photographers guessing. The Best Supporting Actor celebrated his win at Dan Tana's with Madonna and Guy, Rachel Weisz and Darren Aronofsky, and other friends. But "The Insider's" Marc Malkin says he heard that Clooney and Allen also slipped out the back while the Ritchies distracted paparazzi. Among the other devoted duos at the Vanity Fair bash: Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban (touching each other under a table); Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony; Sandra Bullock and Jesse James; Taye Diggs and Idina Menzel; Rachel Griffiths and Andrew Taylor; Jessica Alba and Cash Warren; Jennifer Jason Leigh and Noah Baumbach; Brittany Murphy and Joe Mancuso, and Kerry Washington and David Moscow. Revlon billionaire Ron Perelman turned up stag at the party, where he hit it off a few years back with soon-to-be-ex-wife Ellen Barkin. Keanu Reeves came without Lynn Collins. Hilary Swank, who's been working her way back to hubby Chad Lowe, arrived without him - but she was wearing her wedding ring. Swank, who presented Philip Seymour Hoffman with his Best Actor trophy, reassured the "Capote" star when he forgot to thank his girlfriend, Mimi O'Donnell. "No one forgot like I forgot," said Swank, who famously neglected to mention Lowe when she won her first Oscar. "But people will understand." Hoffman told us the whole experience was "nerve-racking." (At least he didn't have to "bark" his acceptance speech, as he once promised director Bennett Miller and writer Dan Futterman in a drunken moment. "They let me off the hook, but said, 'If you do bark, we will meow," recalled Hoffman.) Of course, Robert Altman was there with his wife of 47 years, Kathryn. Having revealed in his Oscar speech that he had a heart transplant 10 years ago, Altman admitted that he worried then that "no one would hire me." Kathryn recalled how they got USA Today to "correct" a Variety story reporting the surgery. "We denied it like hell," she said. "And his career went on. It had a happy ending." Elsewhere at the Vanity Fair party, worlds collided when novelist Salman Rushdie hung out with Three 6 Mafia, who won gold for "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp." "That's the song I was really rooting for," said Rushdie. "I really liked 'Hustle and Flow.'" Rapper Juicy Jay was not as familiar with Rushdie's "Satanic Verses," but he did like the poetry of Rushdie's wife, Padma Lakshmi, as the model and actress shook to the music on top of an ottoman. "Oooh," said Juicy.

The ceremony, which saw 'Crash' shock the favourite 'Brokeback Mountain' by taking best film, was watched by 38.8m people, the third lowest audience in 20 years. The three-and-a-half hour ceremony from Los Angeles was hosted by Jon Stewart, presenter of the satirical 'Daily Show'. According to the Nielsen ratings, the 2003 show got the lowest audience, with 33m tuning in. Pundits had predicted that interest could fall this year due to the highbrow nature of the five movies nominated for best film - 'Brokeback Mountain', 'Capote', 'Crash', 'Munich' and 'Good Night, and Good Luck'. Also the best actor winner Philip Seymour Hoffman is not a household name. Meanwhile, distributor Pathe will re-release 'Crash' in 70 cinemas in Ireland this week, seven months after it was first released, following its Oscar success.
  • http://www.imdb.com/news/wenn/2006-03-07/ Swank Comforted Mortified Hoffman Hilary Swank felt qualified to comfort Philip Seymour Hoffman after he forgot to thank his girlfriend in his acceptance speech at Sunday's Academy Awards - because she mirrored his actions in 2000. Swank presented the Capote star with the Best Actor trophy at the glitzy Oscar ceremony and as the two were walking offstage, Hoffman realized he had forgotten to thank his girlfriend, Mimi O'Donnell. The actress empathized with Hoffman saying, "Oh, I know. No one forgot like I forgot. But people will understand, they really will. You can't kick yourself over it." Swank forgot to thank her husband Chad Lowe, when she won her first Oscar for Boys Don't Cry, but made a point of thanking him last year, when she won her second Best Actress honor for Million Dollar Baby.

  • Brokeback? Whatever you think, you will not be able to change God's Word regarding homosexuality and will one day have to pay the price for not believing what God has written. Leviticus 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. Leviticus 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. Romans 1:22-27 V22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, V23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. V24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: V25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, Who is blessed for ever. Amen. V26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: V27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 1 Timothy 1:8-10 V8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully; V9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, V10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; 1 Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind SAY THIS PRAYER: Dear Jesus, I am a sinner and am headed to eternal hell because of my sins. I believe you died on the cross to take away my sins and to take me to heaven. Jesus, I ask you now to come into my heart and take away my sins and give me eternal life. http://www.armyofgod.com/Leviticus.html Dr. Jai Maharaj wrote: > Oscars tension mounts as 'Brokeback Mountain' rides > Sunday, March 5, 2006 > Hollywood began the final countdown to Sunday's Oscars, > with a posse of "serious" films, led by "Brokeback > Mountain," set to overrun the big night. > preparations for the 78th annual Academy Awards, which > start with the legendary red carpet celebrity fashion > show, the anxious nominees are crossing their fingers. > political or social messages, Taiwan director Ang Lee's > film about gay cowboys is the frontrunner for the top > awards, including best picture and best director. > leading the race," said veteran Hollywood Reporter online > columnist Marty Grove. > love despite themselves and pursue an unfulfilled 20-year > romance faces a last-minute challenge from a dark horse, > Paul Haggis's racial drama "Crash." > is now very real," awards expert Tom O'Neil of the > website theEnvelope.com said of the tiny independent > movie that may crash Ang Lee's party. > have 'Capote' and 'Transamerica' this year and they may > have created a gay fatigue," he told AFP. > offbeat Western which has swept Hollywood's awards season > and led the Oscars race from the start will still rope in > five statuettes Sunday. > nominations, including best picture, director, best actor > for Australia's Heath Ledger'>Heath Ledger and best supporting role > nods for Jake Gyllenhaal'>Jake Gyllenhaal and Michelle Williams. > "Crash," about a group of ethnically diverse people whose > lives collide in a Los Angeles car accident, and George > Clooney's political drama Good Night, and Good Luck," > which is also up for six awards. > Spielberg's epic about the aftermath of the Palestinian > massacre of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Olympics -- and > "Capote," about US author Truman Capote, both of which > are up for five Oscars. > to win the best actor Oscar for his staggering title role > in Bennett Miller's biopic, facing off against the > Australian star of "Brokeback," Heath Ledger'>Heath Ledger, 26. > country star Johnny Cash in the biopic "Walk the Line," > nominated for five Oscars, David Strathairn, for his role > as newsman Ed Murrow in "Good Night," and Terrence Howard > for "Hustle and Flow." > actor categories, so we may see the jaw-dropper of the > evening be Jake or Michelle winning for 'Brokeback,'" > O'Neil said. > the women's award for her role as an activist fighting > the pharmaceutical industry in Kenya in "The Constant > Gardner," with Williams -- Heath Ledger'>Heath Ledger's real-life > fiancee -- trailing for her portrayal of his cuckolded > wife in "Brokeback." > McDormand for "North Country," Amy Adams for "Junebug" > and Catherine Keener, who played writer Harper Lee in > "Capote." > win best supporting actor for his role as a CIA spy in > the oil industry thriller "Syriana." > competition from Paul Giammati for "Cinderella Man," Matt > Dillon for "Crash," and William Hurt for "A History of > Violence." > are "Capote's" Miller, Haggis for "Crash," Clooney as > director of "Good Night," and Spielberg for "Munich," the > only big-budget film in the major categories. > his best original screenplay for "Good Night," the story > of newsman Ed Murrow's crusade against the repression of > the US and-Communist witch hunt of the 1950s. > is further stoked by the Palestinian best foreign > language film contender "Paradise Now," about two friends > who become suicide bombers, a nomination that infuriated > many Israelis. > Noel," Italy's story of sex abuse, "Don't Tell," > Germany's "Sophie Scholl -- The Final Days" and South > Africa's crime drama "Tsotsi," by Gavin Hood. > the nominees.

  • Oscars tension mounts as 'Brokeback Mountain' rides AFP Sunday, March 5, 2006 Hollywood (AFP) - Tension reached fever pitch as Hollywood began the final countdown to Sunday's Oscars, with a posse of "serious" films, led by "Brokeback Mountain," set to overrun the big night. As workers frantically put the finishing touches on preparations for the 78th annual Academy Awards, which start with the legendary red carpet celebrity fashion show, the anxious nominees are crossing their fingers. In a year laden with small-budget movies packing weighty political or social messages, Taiwan director Ang Lee's film about gay cowboys is the frontrunner for the top awards, including best picture and best director. "We're almost there and I think 'Brokeback' is still leading the race," said veteran Hollywood Reporter online columnist Marty Grove. But the aching story of two macho farmhands who fall in love despite themselves and pursue an unfulfilled 20-year romance faces a last-minute challenge from a dark horse, Paul Haggis's racial drama "Crash." "The buzz is that the threat to 'Brokeback' from 'Crash' is now very real," awards expert Tom O'Neil of the website theEnvelope.com said of the tiny independent movie that may crash Ang Lee's party. "'Brokeback' has a passionate following, but you also have 'Capote' and 'Transamerica' this year and they may have created a gay fatigue," he told AFP. But like other pundits, O'Neil is still betting that the offbeat Western which has swept Hollywood's awards season and led the Oscars race from the start will still rope in five statuettes Sunday. It rides into the Oscars armed with a leading eight nominations, including best picture, director, best actor for Australia's Heath Ledger'>Heath Ledger and best supporting role nods for Jake Gyllenhaal'>Jake Gyllenhaal and Michelle Williams. The movie faces off against the six-times nominated "Crash," about a group of ethnically diverse people whose lives collide in a Los Angeles car accident, and George Clooney's political drama Good Night, and Good Luck," which is also up for six awards. Also competing for best picture are "Munich" -- Steven Spielberg's epic about the aftermath of the Palestinian massacre of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Olympics -- and "Capote," about US author Truman Capote, both of which are up for five Oscars. "Capote" star Philip Seymour Hoffman is widely favoured to win the best actor Oscar for his staggering title role in Bennett Miller's biopic, facing off against the Australian star of "Brokeback," Heath Ledger'>Heath Ledger, 26. Also vying for the award is Joaquin Phoenix, who played country star Johnny Cash in the biopic "Walk the Line," nominated for five Oscars, David Strathairn, for his role as newsman Ed Murrow in "Good Night," and Terrence Howard for "Hustle and Flow." "The Oscars upsets almost always happen in the supporting actor categories, so we may see the jaw-dropper of the evening be Jake or Michelle winning for 'Brokeback,'" O'Neil said. Most pundits predict that Briton Rachel Weisz will win the women's award for her role as an activist fighting the pharmaceutical industry in Kenya in "The Constant Gardner," with Williams -- Heath Ledger'>Heath Ledger's real-life fiancee -- trailing for her portrayal of his cuckolded wife in "Brokeback." Also competing for best supporting actress are Frances McDormand for "North Country," Amy Adams for "Junebug" and Catherine Keener, who played writer Harper Lee in "Capote." Heartthrob Clooney is tipped to beat out Gyllenhaal and win best supporting actor for his role as a CIA spy in the oil industry thriller "Syriana." Clooney, who is up for three Oscars, also faces competition from Paul Giammati for "Cinderella Man," Matt Dillon for "Crash," and William Hurt for "A History of Violence." Facing off against frontrunner Ang Lee for best director are "Capote's" Miller, Haggis for "Crash," Clooney as director of "Good Night," and Spielberg for "Munich," the only big-budget film in the major categories. The politically outspoken Clooney is also nominated for his best original screenplay for "Good Night," the story of newsman Ed Murrow's crusade against the repression of the US and-Communist witch hunt of the 1950s. The political current running through this year's Oscars is further stoked by the Palestinian best foreign language film contender "Paradise Now," about two friends who become suicide bombers, a nomination that infuriated many Israelis. It competes against France's World War I story "Joyeux Noel," Italy's story of sex abuse, "Don't Tell," Germany's "Sophie Scholl -- The Final Days" and South Africa's crime drama "Tsotsi," by Gavin Hood. "Oscar has gone very serious this year," Grove said of the nominees. "In the past, the Oscars were only about great filmmaking and entertainment, but now its about passing on an important message." - - - - - - - "US and-Communist witch hunt of the 1950s." Witch hunt? Yeah, I love Coulter and I will use her as a reference, but hundreds of Communist spies within the government is hardly a "witch hunt." Russia was only pointing nuclear arms at us for 40 years and killing MILLIONS of it's own people, why can't we all be Communists and spread a Communist agenda? It frustrates me to the bone sometimes. I am a young guy, and I find it sad that up until I read about McCarthy, I seriously thought he was a bad guy. Because that is what I grew up seeing and learning in class and the television. This crap just plain infuriates me!
