Clint Howard: A Lame Duck Strategy Session
by Hollywoodland—–

Prescott, AZ July 25, 2010.
I find myself in a storybook Town Square. A perfect pillared 1800’s courthouse surrounded by ancient trees and a Sound Of Music gazebo. Across the street is The Palace, a famous bar that people like Wyatt Earp haunted back in the Gold Rush days. A giant poster of Junior Bonner starring Steve McQueen proves the movie was shot in this bar. I do a handstand in front of the Old West re-enactors.

(I have a Handstand Collection: photos of me holding a handstand in every city I’ve ever visited since childhood.)
Victorian houses dot the hills and the Arizona sunset sucks me in. I am sunk. I love Prescott. They all warned me I wouldn’t want to leave.
I just did a radio show with the nicest man, Dr. Terry Lovell. I sang him my “There’s a Communist Living in the White House” song. He hadn’t heard it yet. (more…)
I’m sunbathing naked again. No one can see me. Just birds and bees. And red ants. And God.
I guess I’ll have to move back to FL. I love LA. But, my family needs me in FL. I don’t seem to be getting many acting roles. Maybe this deep tan will help. I squish a big, red ant with my shoe. I wipe the sweat mixed with sun block from my under eyes and pick up my paperback of “Mere Christianity.” I have a stack of books next to my arm, near my Coffee Nips. Nick Popaditch’s book, “Once a Marine,” and Frank Pastori’s “Shattered.” I used to read the Tabloids a lot but none of my friends are in them anymore…just reality stars I don’t recognize. I’m listening for the UPS man. I really don’t want him to see me. “Big, fat, ex-SNL star sunbathing naked!”
King Obama is trying to eliminate Freedom of Speech by silencing conservative talk radio, TV and Internet. His plan involves fees and fines. I’ve done research. The Federal Trade Commission had a conference last month where they decided to “Redefine Journalism.” Their plan is to have the Government pay the salary of journalists. This will ensure complete control of the media. Yikes! Kerry and Pelosi think the (Un) Fairness Doctrine could do this. Mark Lloyd, Diversity Czar (whatever that is?!) way back in 2007 started encouraging small groups to protest local conservative radio stations by accusing programs like Rush and Hannity of “hate speech that incites violence”! A group called CCAM in Fresno just obeyed this command.
I can’t keep up with him.
King Obama bribed his Socialized Medicine disaster through Congress and destroyed the greatest medical system in the world.
I can’t keep up with him.
King Obama is insidiously creeping into my very own personal life. I don’t have health insurance anymore because of lack of work. Last month, I was shocked to see a TV commercial about Obama Health Insurance. It strangely said that there was a 2,000 caller a day limit?! I called the number out of curiosity/research. The recording said that the 2,000 quota had been reached. After two days, this commercial disappeared, but yesterday I got an email from King Obama offering me Government health insurance. I felt sick to my stomach. I won’t even take unemployment checks, based on the principal of the thing. But…I did start thinking…what if I need … help…someday…I shuddered…NO! NO! Go Away!! I will not succumb to your sneaky attempts at turning me Communist! (more…)
Last week, Andrew Breitbart sat down with David Brody of the Christian Broadcasting Network and articulated his position that the media is the primary adversary to those fighting for traditional American values.
Watch the whole thing: you’re sure to enjoy when Andrew discusses that while the New Media may well save the Republic (and perhaps the world), it has already saved him personally.
The Brody File show airs tonight on the CBN Newschannel.
A full profile of Andrew Breitbart will air on The 700 Club show May 13th.
Some highlights/discussion points below:
“By aiming everything at the media, I’ve pretty much done the one thing they ask you not to do: ‘please accept the premise that we’re fair and let’s move on.’ No, I’m not going to accept that premise.” (more…)
There was much laughter following the presidents signing of the health care bill. Democrats were positively giddy over having successfully secured America’s decline. There were fist bumps and back slapping; the champagne flowed.

Democrats were not alone in their celebration. Republicans too shook hands with constituents and lapped up attention and praise for, let’s face it, having done very little. But, hey, why let that spoil a good time? My fear is that not only will Republicans not “repeal the bill” should they take control of congress after the mid-term elections, but that in the very near future Republican candidates will also be running on promises to nurture it. Such is my confidence in the current GOP.
Inasmuch as we are toasting the expansion of the administrative state (and thus the demise of our American Republic) we should perhaps also raise our glasses to Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain. All these nations are on the verge of economic collapse due to their fiscal promiscuity. They too love their entitlements and are demanding them even as the ship of state sinks. Portugal is currently running a deficit that is 9.3% of GDP with a debt that is 80% of their GDP. Greece has a deficit of 13% and a debt of 113% of GDP. Just for laughs consider that they are appealing to the United States for financial aid. The U.S. currently carries a deficit that is over 12% and debt that is 94% of GDP. (more…)
This past weekend I was proud to be part of “we the people” who came down to Washington by the thousands to voice their American rights and freedom to say “no” to what we all knew would change our great America into a socialistic America. With this Obama health care, we will now face extreme hardships in every way and Obama is now more dangerous than ever.
His ego has been fanned and he will stop at nothing to try to pass the cap-and-trade bill and he will force all union members to openly sign their votes. We must never forget this blatant and dangerous arrogance by President Obama and Speaker Pelosi and every Democrat leader that voted for this destruction of our great country.
Let us put memos everywhere to remind ourselves to vote all of these socialistic extremists out of office this coming November and thereafter. (more…)
So here I am sipping a coffee, it’s 9:30 pm and health care has passed the House. I’ve listened to President’s Obama’s speech on Fox News and I reflect. What I now have to say many may not agree with, and it will probably piss a lot of you off. But I have never been known not to speak my mind. So here goes…

Go back to the election just over a year ago when I would discuss with some who I encountered who they were voting for and where they stood politically. Not people in show biz but just average folk from cab and limo drivers in different parts of the country, to shopkeepers, waiters, landscapers, and airline hostesses. Across the board, all had their own reason for voting for Obama but one in particular struck me.
He was a driver for a car service that had picked me up. His name was Oscar and he was from South America. I opened the conversation and he was very open, as was I — neither being shy about our point of view — he didn’t care if I tipped or not because I didn’t agree with him, and I didn’t worry about being left in the desert somewhere for disagreeing with him. (more…)
I am calling to all of you freedom-loving Americans to come once again to Washington D.C. to gather on the Capitol steps on Saturday, at 12 o’clock noon.
We must come by the thousands.

Speaker Pelosi will stop at nothing to fulfill her corrupt conquests. She will bring all of the corrupt ACORN liars to try to bully all the Democrats that may be having pangs of guilt knowing quite surely what their votes can and will do. If they’re bullied into saying “yes,” it will destroy America.
Join me and Rep. Michele Bachmann in Washington DC at 12 noon EST so we can give all the Democrats who know what the end result will be the courage to say: “No, do not pass this destructive bill.” (more…)
It is said that when Alexander the Great visited the philosopher Diogenes he asked the wise man if there was anything he could do for him. Diogenes is said to have replied, “Yes. Stand a little less between me and the sun.”
I thought of Diogenes as I read portions of the president’s speech from Cleveland, Ohio. The New York Times reports that the president used the word fight or some version of it more than 20 times.

Mr. Obama vowed to fight for jobs; he promised to fight for quality education; he promised to fight for health care; fight for transparency in government. He promised to fight! Fight! Fight! And never stop fighting. “So long as I have some breath in me,” he said, “so long as I have the privilege of serving as your President, I will not stop fighting for you.”
Such pronouncements of chivalry no doubt came as a surprise to the parents and children of the opportunity scholarship program. (more…)
When I was just a kid, I saw the stage musical, “Peter Pan,” starring Mary Martin in the title role and Cyril Ritchard as Captain Hook. It is to this day the only version of that old war-horse I ever liked. I still don’t know why that story has retained its popularity since 1904. Even Walt Disney couldn’t work his magic on it.

What I remember best about the show, the tunes aside, is that at the point when Tinkerbell’s light was flickering, and she was supposedly at death’s door, the audience was urged to start clapping in the hope that our applause would somehow save her. Suddenly a woman seated behind me leaned forward and said, “Little boy, you aren’t clapping. Don’t you want Tinkerbell to live?”
“I know the story,” I told her. “She’ll live even if nobody claps.” (more…)
The end of the year brings us all sorts of fun “best of” lists and annual “awards”. We have “The Best Films of 2009″, “The Worst Films of 2009″, “The Most Intriguing People”, the “Sexiest” and “Worst Dressed”. Time magazine puts out their “Person of the Year” issue every December.
I propose a new one. I’ll simply call it the “Idiot of the Year.”

There were a lot of worthy candidates in 2009.
I do not bestow such honors lightly, so allow me to explain my thought process. Let’s start with another group’s award; the “Lie of the Year.” Of course, despite the fact that the current administration told the public, with a straight face, that the $800 Billion stimulus package would keep unemployment under 8%, the sages of the media bestowed this honor on Sarah Palin. Her “death panels” blog was deemed the “lie of the year” by some obscure website and then parroted by “legitimate,” “professional” and “unbiased” news sources like MSNBC and Newsweek. (more…)
