Celebrities and Other Idiots
by Burt PrelutskyI have lived in Los Angeles most of my life, and for a good part of it worked in Hollywood, writing for TV. What’s more, for many of those years, I was a registered Democrat. I even voted for Jimmy Carter. Being in such a confessional mood, I almost feel as if I should stand up and introduce myself as Burt P, a recovering liberal, and proudly announce that I’ve been politically sober for over 8,000 days.
It may be coincidental that I began to see the error of my ways at just about the time the suits at the networks decided I was too old to write for the tube. On the other hand, being apart from the business for a while certainly gave me ample opportunity to take a more objective look at it.
One thing that became glaringly apparent is that for all the populist claptrap these folks spout, when the caste system was banished from India, it simply packed its bags and moved to Hollywood. There are people in the business who seem to devote more time to spouting left-wing inanities than they do to their acting and singing careers, and, almost without exception, they treat their underlings like indentured serfs.
One of the most successful, most liberal, TV writer-producers was earning upwards of $40 million-a-year. A while back, he advertised that he needed a personal assistant. In Hollywood parlance, a p.a. is responsible for doing every menial chore you can imagine, including driving the kids to soccer practice, making dinner reservations, picking up the dry cleaning, keeping the fleet of family cars gassed up, making airport runs to pick up and deliver, and may or may not include sexual favors. When you make $40,000,000-a-year, it works out to about $110,000-a-day, every day, including Saturdays and Sundays. So, what, you wonder, was the salary being offered for what are typically 12-14 hour days? A whopping $500-a-week, or roughly what the employer made every seven minutes, even when he was asleep!
And, yet, this blood-sucker doesn’t see the slightest contradiction in his insisting that the minimum wage be raised. And neither, I can readily assure you, do any of his well-heeled, left-wing, associates.
That is the thing that is so maddening about these Hollywood characters. It isn’t that they’re greedier or cheaper than other people, it’s that they are totally oblivious to the abyss that exists between what they say and what they do.
The reason it’s so hard to satirize this crowd is because satire calls for exaggerating human flaws and foibles. But how can you possibly do that when the reality is already so ludicrous?
Part of the reason these louts are so at home in the Democratic party is because the leading liberals are exactly like them. Consider kazillionaires like Kennedy, Kerry, Byrd, and Boxer, for instance. What do they have in common? I mean, aside from having the God-given ability to put millions of insomniacs to sleep by merely opening their yaps. What they share is the desire to convince us all that they are as one with the little guy, sharing his trials and tribulations, demanding that taxes go up while they, themselves, have high-powered CPAs whose sole purpose in life is to keep their own tax bite to a minimum. In the case of Tim Geithner and Tom Daschle, apparently even the minimum was too much to ask.
Whether it’s in Palestine, where the Hamas won the election; in Lebanon, where Hezbollah is well-represented in the legislature; whether it’s in California or New York, Massachusetts or Washington, the ongoing problem with democracy is that so many of the wrong people get to vote.
Still, you can’t entirely blame liberal celebrities for their boorishness. How would you expect an adolescent to behave if you gave him millions of dollars, treated him like royalty, and never really punished him when he misbehaved? And what would you expect to hear come out of his mouth if Barbara Walters, Larry King, Oprah, and all the other pimps in the mass media, couldn’t wait to broadcast his drivel to a panting world?
My conclusion is that, as is the case with some children, most celebrities should be seen and not heard.

You’re right on target, Burt. I can’t decide whether I resent the hypocritical hollywood more or the real people who are dumb and shallow enough to pander after them.
My ass would be sitting in a jail cell if I’d pulled a Daschle… yet this moron can call it a mistake, sit all smarmy with his Senate buds and get a pass… arghhh
I couldn’t have said it better…it all boils down to the hypocracy of:
DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO
Burt, I think most of us here are willing to forgive you for voting for Carter, unless, of course, you voted for him twice. Just kidding. After all, I can’t throw any stones. Though I was never a full-fledged lib, I was duped enough by libs in college to vote for Clinton in ‘96.
Unfortunately, Burt, they are, to paraphrase Groucho, obscene and heard (with a tip of the chamber pot to the inaptly named Christian Bale).
Funny how many “big brains” that BO has brought in with him have problems with the US Tax Code.
Hmmmmm
“Consider kazillionaires like Kennedy, Kerry, Byrd, and Boxer, for instance. What do they have in common?”
They all voted to raise the minimum wage?
You’re a good man, Burt. I hope someday we’ll meet so I can shake your hand.
Continued success and good health.
You are so right. I worked in Hollywood, briefly, and saw this exact behavior. But it was my Dad, a dyed-in-the-wool liberal, who really opened my eyes to they hypocrisy. He asked me to ‘help-him-out’ when he couldn’t get someone to work for him. He made several hundred thousand a year and only condescended to pay me $700 a MONTH. I was young and too intimidated to stand up for myself so I put up with it for way too long.
Long story short, my parents ended up going bankrupt due to all their excesses. They took $100k from my brother in a “loan” that they bailed on so my brother ended up broke too. Then they looked at me and pretty much assumed they could sponge off me and my husband but we said no way. I won’t let them drive my family into financial ruin because they can’t bother to be responsible.
Bottom line, they have this mentality that they are “entitled” to do whatever they want, no matter what the cost to everyone else, and then get a handout. I’m sure they totally support all the government bailouts. But I’m not sure. They’re not really speaking to me right now since I won’t let them take advantage of me anymore.
Thanks, Burt. This reminds me of a well paid friend at an industry company with whom I used to work, and who, with his well paid wife, employed an illegal alien to watch his kids. I asked, “Why don’t you hire an American?” and he laughed as he answered, “Because I save $80 a week!” This couple would not let their kids watch “I Love Lucy” because they did not like the values of the show. “Huh? What values?,” I asked him. His answer? “You know, the man works and the wife stays home.” Somehow, though, the values of employing an illegal alien and avoiding the legally required employment taxes are OK.

Given how wildly incorrect you were about Dreyfuss’s salary in a previous rant — ahh, but what’s wrong with a little/lot exaggeration in the service of a story, right? — I’m going to assume the 40 mill a year producer is also a fiction stewed in bitterness and regret.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Great post, Burt!
re: your post AND Christian Bale’s spoiled, contemptous rant-
Two more examples of Hollywood selfishness- when I started in the biz, I worked for a well-known Hollywood producer. One day in the middle of a staff meeting, he looked up and announced to the room that “you are all here to serve me”. While being true (we were all his employees) the way it was expressed, it was as if it came out of a black hole of self-centeredness. Another time, while he was away on business, I discovered I had to have surgery. When he returned, I informed him I would have to miss a few days of work. He looked at me, thought for a moment, possibly trying to summon words of encouragement or compassion, and said “Why didn’t you do this while I was out of town”.
That said, I no longer hold it against him. It demonstrates to me just how badly broken and lost of some of these folks are. They need God.
What do the Palestinians have to do with that? Seems far more fitting of the welfare parasites in Is – rael where they get BILLIONS of dollars that Americans earn and complain endlessly about how they are victims while they make unprovoked attacks on their neighbors and steal more land.
“Whether it’s in Palestine, where the Hamas won the election; in Lebanon, where Hezbollah is well-represented in the legislature; whether it’s in California or New York, Massachusetts or Washington, the ongoing problem with democracy is that so many of the wrong people get to vote.”
So…. you’re advocating what exactly? A restricted franchise? Totalitarianism? Government by corporate oligarchy?
Don’t forget in survey after survey conservatives give far more of their own money to charity than liberals – and liberals give far more of other people’s money than conservatives!
Never will forget the moniker Al Capp gave Joan Baez in his comic strip Lil Abner – she became “Joanie Phonie” – and this was 40+ years ago…

“Consider kazillionaires like Kennedy, Kerry, Byrd, and Boxer…”
When did Byrd become a kazillionaire?
I’m pretty sure he’s got 3K or so stashed somewhere.
Can’t blame ‘em – it’s a lot more fun being rich, and self-righteous, when those around you are dirt poor.

Wiser words were never written.

“So…. you’re advocating what exactly? A restricted franchise? Totalitarianism? Government by corporate oligarchy?”
Nah, just a race-based Apartheid state like Israel (allies with the Apartheid state of South Africa.) Your tax dollars at work (then feign ignorance about “why they hate us.”)
I’m enjoying the comments today. Particularly A. Bruce Wines’ offer of a free lunch if I ever get to Florida and Jimmy Arone’s desire to shake my hand. I’m not sure, though, why Clark questioned my including Robert Byrd as one of the Senate’s kazillionaire. The former Klanner is known to one and all as “The King of Pork” and refers to himself as “Big Daddy,” has been in the U.S. Senate for over 50 years. If you don’t think he is enormously wealthy, you must also believe that Tim Geithner and Tom Daschle made honest mistakes on their income taxes. Funny, isn’t it, how these people never make the mistake of paying too much. Finally, Harley, it’s odd that you think you know better than I do how much money Richard Dreyfuss got paid to do “Jaws,” but odder still that you believe I made up the story about the TV writer-producer in today’s article. If you were half the Hollywood insider you think you are, you’d not only know I didn’t invent him, you’d actually know who he is.
Regards, Burt
race-based Apartheid state
You can always count on progressive bigots to bring race into a topic.
South African workers refuse to offload Is – raeli ship because Is – rael is an apartheid state!

I’ve worked with many celebrities, and the higher up you go on the pay scale, the worse people they become. It’s always a joy to see megamillionaire’s who spout and support very liberal causes treat their staff like indentured servants, get rid of them when they disappoint and replace them with the new slaves, illegal aliens (Mexican, Filipino and otherwise.)

“He was a true hero for what he did in flight, but like so many others, when he got out of his specific area of expertise, he was lost and showed himself a fool.”
It was foolish for America to be involved. Why did we side with communists? Stupid. The reason is a cabal of elitists like the Rothchilds who are using nations as pawns.

“Also, after Pearl Harbor, Lindbergh immediately shut up and volunteered.”
Because back then, people were largely treated like mushrooms – kept in the dark and fed BS. So, it is easy to view them as ignorant. We now know FDR was pushing for war (like all tyrants do) and provoking the Japanese to attack. Just as they made up the attack on the Gulf of Tonkin. Much as the USS Maine was likely another staged incident. Just as the Lucitannia was a provokation as well (it was carrying munitions and running the blockade – the government knew that and let the passengers go in order to be sacrificial lambs. Sickening!)
I live in West Hollywood, and the worst of it is watching how they treat the illegals they hire to do construction work around their houses. I’m talking operating sanding equipment and inhaling dust for hours on end with no safety precautions or breathing protection, being paid a few hundred a week for this work, and the chance of an illiterate worker getting screwed right out of his pay is high. No wonder they’re all pro-immigration. They need more cheap labor.
liberals are stupid. voting in a muslim president who was born in Kenya likes it ‘hot’ in the black house, while the rest of america is dying by freezing to death.
great leader the stupid liberals and the liberal media voted in.
pelosi and her jet, al capone gets prison for tax evasion. obama’s friends get raises.
arrogant prick !
I can’t understand how liberals with money embrace liberalism. What they are doing is pure capitalism. Take the capitalist model away, share the wealth in a left leaning socialistic state of America, and the pompous liberal elite will be falling over themselves at the foot of the Politburo in an effort to maintain their station.
It would be humorous if it weren’t so close to home.
Hey hollywood celeberties are often hypocritical and self-centered. DUH! So are almost all the rich people like Forbes who were born on third base and believe they hit a triple. They may be pains in the ass, but they in no way represent the threat to the country your neocon pals id and do.
Hell its fun being a liberal dem…call for more taxes but dont pay them yourself, life cant get any ….ing better.

This is too funny. I mean, I listen to Coast To Coast as well. I find it entertaining as hell. But jeez, get a grip.
What next, Bildebergers, Tri-Lateral Commission?
Gary Eaton – February 3rd, 2009 at 12:53 pm
“What next, Bildebergers, Tri-Lateral Commission?”
How about CFR? You don’t think there is something wrong with nearly every member of Congress and nearly every candidate running for office being members of an organization that wants to erase the border with Mexico and create the “Amero”? They aren’t even secretive about this treason any longer.
Typical Hollywood elitism. Do as a I say not as I do! Sound familiar. Don’t tolerate these people for God’s sake. I boycott as many of the biggots as I can; even whole networks, NBC, MSNBC, CNN. Tell their sponsors too. Sean Penn on my TV; Never.
“When did Byrd become a kazillionaire?”
He had a windfall with a linen business, resultant from having access to large cache of white sheets.
Why do people across the country even care about what celebrities think or do? When a 3 year old kid acts up, the worst thing you can do is give them positive feedback. Frankly, I pity most of them. Many of them have ruined their lives. On the one hand they think they have everything, on the other hand their lives are empty and meaningless. That’s why they spend so much time trying to “do something”, whether it be to direct political figures, or adopt a kid from every corner of the earth. They look for meaning in alcohol, drugs, consumerism, sex, cults, tattoos, you name it. Yet they keep telling themselves they are on top of the world, they have it all.
I certainly wouldn’t wish that type of lifestyle on my kids, I’d rather they work in a factory and have a meaningful relationship with God and a well adjusted family life.
How is it that the liberal lemmings of Hollywood and D.C. believe that stimulating the economy by rebuilding the nations’ infrastructure [while not using ‘white construction workers’], paying for contraceptives, and things like tax credits for people who don’t pay taxes will trickle down into the general population while tax cuts and other forms of tax relief will NOT trickle down.
As far as the self-declared statement, “The bar that we set,” [for the administration's ethical standards] “is the highest that any administration in the country has ever set,” how soon before this administration puts Sandy Berger in as head of the National Archives?
Setting the bar too high doesn’t prevent someone from sneaking under it…. Sam
Ha ha, so true about PA’s. Treated like slaves. I used to have a roommate who was Peter Bogdanavich’s PA back in the late 80’s. Wow, what an ahole. I still don’t know if the PA ever got paid thousands in back pay.
Ah, Burt! I enjoy reading your columns. I haven’t been to a good movie in ages, so I guess one could say that I’m boycotting these selfish liberals. I just listened to the profanity-laden rant of Christian Bale for about 10 seconds. He’s a poster-boy for this column.
The Republican party – and conservatism – lost this election when they went along with NCLB and the prescription drug entitlements.
Only when a clear, consistent alternative to statism is presented can the GOP hope to win. Bush didn’t and the GOP lost the House and Senate even though he won the White House. McCain presented merely an alternative statism, which is why he lost, and the GOP in Congress with him.
Given this non-alternative, the battered spouse that is the American electorate tends to go for the overt abuser. We know he (Clinton, Obama) is lying and we don’t care. We know he’s going to beat the s**t out of us, but there’s at least a certain principled honesty about their abusiveness as opposed to that of these milque toast “my turn” candidates the GOP all too often puts up.
“The reason it’s so hard to satirize this crowd is because satire calls for exaggerating human flaws and foibles. But how can you possibly do that when the reality is already so ludicrous?”
The “I Pledge” Video is a good example. At first I thought it was an SNL skit but then I realized… Oh My God! These douchebags are being serious. If you listen carefully to the soundtrack you can actually hear brain-cells exploding. Jonathan Alter put it best when he wrote right after 9/11:
“The only thing worse than a silly politician analyzing art is a silly artist analyzing politics”
I wrote a screenplay that makes fun of republicans but it also makes fun of Democrats and French people. Here is a screenplay that will never see the light of day, but hey, I had fun writing it.
Beautifully expressed – you nailed it! Thanks for the great read.
If congressman Eric Cantor is still minority whip in 2010 I will not vote republican…He is a mealy mouth warmongering fool; he loves to put his skinny nerdy face into any camera. He is EVERYTHING wrong with Republican party now. Pat Buchanan needs to surge this dead party of greedy filth.
“Whether it’s in Palestine, where the Hamas won the election; in Lebanon, where Hezbollah is well-represented in the legislature; whether it’s in California or New York, Massachusetts or Washington, the ongoing problem with democracy is that so many of the wrong people get to vote.”
I think the point Burt’s making is that, not only does it seem that only stupid people are breeding, but only stupid people are voting too. How else can you explain, Pelosi, Reid, Schumer, Boxer, Frank, et al. Even our “Dear Leader” was sold to us like a box of soap – and the dummies bought it (give it time, you’ll see)!
Those with IQ’s in the 82 – 87 range (and there’s a lot of them) tend to reflexively vote Democrat, because that’s all they remember from their public school indoctrination!
There should be a minimal IQ qualification for voting (and sitting on a Jury). Then intellect would trump emotion and conservatives would make things right (and no, Bush wasn’t a conservative, he was an idiot).
What about celebrities like O’Reilly, Coulter and Limbaugh? Now that’s some real clown action!
I LOVE it when someone else expresses disdain for the hollyweirdos!
And the best thing about celebrities? So few of them have even graduated from college (some don’t even make it out of high school). Usually they have to leave college after a few years to “pursue acting”.
More often than not, the ones that actually finish college seem to be the not-so-leftist type. Strange coincidence.
Actually, Ken in Irvine, Natalie Portman graduated from Harvard (did you get in?) and is very proud of being a Democrat. Same with Jodie Foster (Yale), Jennifer Connolly (Stanford), Meryl Streep (Yale MFA I believe), Debra Messing (NYU MFA – I could be wrong), Steven Spielberg (Cal State Long Beach), Rachael Weisz (Cambridge – resides in both UK and US), etc, etc. Most of these bitter rants, including Burt’s, are from the have-nots. And it is comforting to be a victim. Some Hollywood types can be superficial but most who have made it to celebrity status work very hard to make studios a lot of money. And yes, they get some too. It is actually competitive to make it as an artist in Hollywood – the numbers are much more intimidating than the acceptance rate at the Ivy Leagues (I am a little familiar only because somehow I made it to Princeton). Stop crying about other people – the only talent some on this website seem to possess …Burty? – and DO something to ameliorate your situation and that of others’ instead of waiting like douchebags for the Republican party (which you’ve now decided to join) to do something for you. I felt like I was listening to a 10 year old whine about a bully while reading this article – not quite the hero of your own life huh?
How about a new television sitcom?
I’d like to suggest: PELOSI’S ISLAND.
Or, LIBERALS’ ISLAND, since that’d be the premise…
Instead of Gilligan, the Professor, Ginger, the Skipper, etc., there’d be Pelosi, Kennedy, Kerry, Schumer, Frank, Dodd, Clinton and Reid, all stranded on a desert island during their attempted three-hour tour, and no little people around to service all their demands.
It’d be interesting to watch that bunch deconstruct.
Thoroughly enjoyed your article! ‘Hollywood’ died years ago with the actors and actresses that had ‘class’ and manners and gratitude toward us ‘little people’ that made them wealthy. We miss you Cary and Bette!
I find it interesting that the Hollywood crowd call themselves Democrats. They aren’t. They’ve run so far to the left that they aren’t visible anymore. I stopped going to their movies fifteen years ago when I realized that I was helping fund their soapboxes. I’m as interested in their opinions as they are in mine.
I think it was Tom Hanks that finally told the truth last week. He said something about…finally getting to live in the America he always wanted….. Interesting. I’ve decided that the Hollywood crowd must have become bored, and gathered at a party (VERY expensive party), and decided that with their money and fame, they would CHANGE this nation into a Socialist state. Why? I have no idea.
So Mr. Hanks, we now understand that you hate this country…the one that made you rich; the one in which you could tell your child that they could be anything they wanted when they grew up; the one that has ALWAYS been the most compassionate and forgiving; the one that has been the ‘first responder’ to every disaster anywhere in the world; the one to which people from all over the world could come and live the American Dream’.
You were one of the few great actors left on the left, simply because you entertained rather than professing your political beliefs. Now, Mr. Hanks, you’re just another Hollywood politician. Sorry you gave up your first career because you were exceptionally talented in that one.
So, here’s the deal, Mr. Hanks. I think all Conservatives, Libertarians and Independents will contribute a few pennies each to buy some plane tickets, for you and Babs and Oprah and Susan and Tim…and oh, so many others, to France or Sweden. You decide which Socialist country you’ve always dreamed of living in and we’ll send you there. Sean Penn? He’ll probably decide to hang out with his new best friend, Hugo. They could do lunch again. I just don’t want you to be so miserable living in this ‘free’ country with the Constitution and all…..
Oh, and to Mr. Hanks and all of his friends…I wouldn’t believe a word you said if your tongue came notarized. (Thank you Judge M.)
Hear, Hear, Bravo! ! If you could just get your thoughts on the great tube;most people–deep down inside agree with you.I think whats worse is that even if some of the annoited ones actually disagreeded with these armchair Marxist,they would’t say a word—-it might crimp their pocketbooks. The thought of being unemployed in the buis is just too terrifying to comprehend!
Well, it is invigorating to see Lindbergh discussed! He was a great man but had his quirks.
Oh…great column, Burt. All too true. Takes guts to “come out” in this town.
Ouch, that’s gonna leave a mark! I am laughing to keep from crying.
Well after seeing DUMB and DUmber we might want to Inmclude Crack Head Pelosi as an Idiot also Check this out and Don’t GAG…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8hMJVXt09E
She, Reid Barney,, Chwis Dud and Chas Rangel MUST be Taken OUT or else Oblahblah will be the longest term LAME DUCK even after he fires Geithner…
Glad you turned right & left the dark side.
“Consider kazillionaires like Kennedy, Kerry, Byrd, and Boxer”
Just remember that when you refer to Byrd, the word is spelled KKKazillionaires.
Burt, no offense but you simply made up the salary Dreyfuss made on Jaws in order to improve your rant. Not sure why I should believe you now. I understand that this kinda stuff flies at the Farmer’s Market bitter old dudes table. But you may be held to a higher standard here.
Oops. Maybe not.
And while we’re on the subject (sorry, I’ve got ten minutes to kill), it’s worth noting that while you were happy to put Dreyfuss’s name in your last rant, you didn’t have the balls to mention the name of the TV producer you’re taking aim at here.
Let’s see. Of the two rant targets, which one could still conceivably hire you?
Funny how that worked out.
haha love that last sentence
I love hearing all this banter about how awful the libs are. So tell me, then, how the hell did he get into office if everyone out there is against him? And now what are you all willing to do about it? Grant it, the GOP really sucks right now. But how often has anyone of you publicly stood up and said you are against anything? Like Rush, or Burt or Ann? This Country is by the people for the people, but only if the people actually SAY something? All you Californians can start by getting Pelosa out of her seat! That would be a great start. Then work on Schwarzinager. But no, instead of going against the grain, you move east. Now my state is infested with libs, too! STAND UP AND MAKE ALL THESE COMMENTS PUBLIC. TRENT, sit down and shut up. You are an idiot with out the slightest clue about American history. Unfortunatly, you are probably a professor at Berkly or somewhere. GO AWAY!
Yeah, I think you missed the point, there, clark. Nobody is technically a kazillionaire, obviously, but I don't believe Robert Byrd is feeling the financial squeeze, if you know what I mean. A guy that has his name attached to statues and billboards and street signs is probably doing pretty well. Not to mention, he probably gets by with a little help from his KKK buddies every now and again.
That's nice, huh? Somehow, someway, old fashioned thinking just became extreme bigotry. It just goes to show, you know, if you get a little too open minded, you're brains fall out.
Well, Jim that all just boils down to what your definition of the word "is" is. Hey, if you ever want a good laugh, buddy, go pick up a copy of "My Life" by Bill Clinton. Don't actually waste your money on buying the book, just read the back cover. I did this a couple of years ago at Costco and I alsmost died laughing right there in the store. Everyone was looking at me like I was crazy. I couldn't help it. It was such an undeserved ego stroking of one of the biggest blow hards this country, and the world for that matter has ever seen. Take care.
Wow!!!! Wow!!!!!! Boy, are you misinformed. Even CBS (the Communist Broadcasting System) reports of the Palestinian's attacks on Israeli soil. Unprovoked!? Are you kidding me? Don't tell me. You're probably a college student, aren't you? And I haven't heard a lot of complaining from Israel, they just mount up on the war machine and kick some Palestine butt whenever Palestinians make an (UNPROVOKED TERRORIST) attack on Israeli soil. And yes we give them money and yes we are allies with them, because they're probably the only sane nation in that area and we need them to keep the peace over there once in a while. And they've been doing a great job, I'm glad we have them on our side. Too bad you're not on our side. Maybe when you grow up, start paying taxes and see the "real" world you'll change your political affiliation, a lot of folks do when they leave college and drop the blinders that their professors issue to them upon enrollment. Good luck, pal.
I know, right!? Who is this Clark guy? It just goes to show the rampant ignorance among the left. I bet if Meryl Streep and Martin Sheen got together for an interview with Katie Couric they could convince an overwhelimingly large amount of democrats to look into ocean front property in Arizona.
Boy, you got that right. Who is this Trent guy, talking about unprovoked attacks on Palestine? What world is he living in? Is this a world where everyone loves each other and there are no terrorist attacks? Are there good looking, busty blondes who are wearing skimpy clothing everywhere, passing out cotton candy, because, if so, I'm thinking I might like to come check it out sometime.
Yeah, this definitely sounds like words echoed from an antiwar professor. Wow, Trent. You are trully lost. Time to move to France. Was your professor deep undercover during WWII? Sounds like an interesting guy. He probably bathes once a week and pleasures himself in his V W bus on campus every night.
