Actor Peter Boyle (77) - His first starring role was as the title character in the 1970 movie Joe, in which Boyle played a bigoted New York City factory worker to wide acclaim.The film's release was surrounded by controversy over its violence and language. It was during this time that Boyle became close friends with the actress Jane Fonda, and with her he participated in many protests against the Vietnam War. His next major role was as the campaign manager for a U.S. Senate candidate (Robert Redford) in The Candidate (1972). Boyle had another hit role as Frankenstein's monster in the 1974 Mel Brooks comedy Young Frankenstein, in which, in an homage to King Kong, the monster is placed onstage in top hat and tails, grunt-singing and dancing to the song "Puttin' on the Ritz". Boyle was perhaps most widely known for his role as the deadpan, cranky Frank Barone in the popular CBS television sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond, which aired from 1996 to 2005.
(LaughFish) Actor Jerry Stiller said, "It's not me! I know a lot of you guys get these TV shows and TV dads confused. I didn't die. It was Raymond's dad. Not me. I feel fine. Are you listening? I said, I FEEL FINE!!")

QUOTE/UNQUOTE
" 'Mission accomplished' jokes aside, the original goals in Iraq - deposing Saddam Hussein and holding elections - have been achieved. Nation-building was never on the agenda, and it should not be added now.
All the allied troops in the world aren't going to stop the Iraqi people from continuing their civil war if this is their choice. As long as Muslim leaders in Iraq and elsewhere are unwilling to confront their own radical elements, outsiders will be spectators in the line of fire."
[Gary Kasparov, former world chess champion; chairman of the United Civil Front in Russia - in the WSJ Opinion Journal ]
"Other than telling us how to live, think, marry, pray, vote, invest, educate our children and, now, die, I think the Republicans have done a fine job of getting government out of our personal lives. [Sunday Portland Oregonian]
"...universities are about reason, pure and simple. Faith - believing something without good reasons to do so-has no place in anything but a religious institution, and our society has no shortage of these.
Imagine if we had a requirement for "Astronomy and Astrology" or "Psychology and
Parapsychology." It may be true that more people are knowledgeable about
astrology than about astronomy, and it may be true that astrology deserves study as a significant historical and sociological phenomenon. But it would be a terrible mistake to juxtapose it with astronomy, if only for the false appearance of symmetry."
[Stephen Pinker, Johnstone professor of psychology,
in the Harvard Crimson]
WELL HOWDY, REV'LERS!
Welcome to our humble - albeit audaciously pimped-out with holiday bling - cottage in Metro Fairborn, Ohio. If the world ever really comes to an end, the place you want to be is Fairborn. It takes ten years for everything to get here!
Which reminds me - The good news is that all food at the Taco Bell in Fairborn has tested negative for E. coli. The bad news is that 45% of the meat used in 7 of Fairborn's Korean restaurants is still testing positive for dog. Never order Sub Gum Bow Wow. Never...
I think I am an overnight sensation right now!!
I see here in the Fairborn Herald that a new study by the Mayo clinic in
Rochester, MN shows that the shampoo known as "Herbal Essence" is a major cause of premature ejaculation in gay men.
HOLY CRAP, look at this headline! HELLO KITTY gang terrorizes Xenia! Family
STICKERED to death! I think I knew some of these folks. They were lifelong Republicans.
It says here an inventor has developed a mountain bike with a large spinning gyroscope. It's easier to ride and almost impossible to fall off.
In other news: President Bush was almost strangled today when his tie got snagged in a spinning gyroscope.
The president keeps fallin' off his bike. He even dumped his Segway once. He still insists that gravity is only a theory.
This is a newborn Pygmy Marmoset, a type of monkey, that will grow to 5-inches and weigh in at 1/2-lb.

Satirical/Political
Concerned that the GOP might resort to desperate measures to "recapture" the Senate, Democrats today posted more than a dozen armed Brinks Guards at the hospital bedside of recuperating Senator Tim Johnson...
Doctor Senator Bill Frist ...made a diagnosis of Johnson from the Senate Floor, declaring him clinically dead.
Obama's Draw
Senator Barack Obama drew huge crowds in New Hampshire as he toured the state this weekend... not because they want to meet a possible future president, but because most of the people in New Hampshire have never seen a black person.
NEW WORD: CUSTERFUCK!
Custerfuck: very badly organized!
Let me use it in a couple of sentences so people can get a better sense of its meaning.
1. The republicans have created a custerfuck in Iraq.
2. George Bush is a walking custerfuck!
3. John McCain's plan for Iraq will create a bigger custerfuck than the
existing custerfuck.
4. Therefore John McCain is a bigger custerfuck than George Bush!
HOT! PENGUIN!
MAY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR GLOBAL WARMING!

Meet the funniest topical humorist in America, the man Robin Williams once
called "the Will Rogers of the Baby Boom." - COMEDIAN ARGUS HAMILTON:
The Good Shepherd with Matt Damon got terrific reviews Friday. It's based on the true stories of American spies in the early days of the Central Intelligence Agency. With a little bit of luck and some Hollywood magic, they finally kill Castro.
The New York Post tried to embarrass Sen. Barack Obama with an article about his flaws. It said he's a heavy smoker and his middle name is Hussein. If Barack Obama isn't elected president he could become the season-long villain on Twenty-Four.
Incoming House Intelligence Committee chairman Silvestre Reyes failed a newspaper's test for him about terrorism. He said al-Qaeda are Shiites when they are Sunnis and he couldn't identify Hezbollah. He could lose his post as Intelligence chairman, but the Los Angeles School Board said he will still be allowed to graduate.

A man walks into a bar and orders a triple scotch. As the bartender pours
the drink, he remarks, "That's quite a heavy drink. What's the problem?"
After quickly downing his drink, the man replies, "I found my wife in bed with my best friend."
'Wow," says the barkeep. "What did you do about it?"
"I walked over to my wife, looked her in the eye, told her to pack her stuff, and get the hell out."
"That makes sense," remarks the barkeep. "And, what about your best friend?"
"I looked him right in the eye and yelled, "Bad dog!!!!"

Karl Rove, Pauly Shore, and a homeless man are at a table in a new bar with no name. The barkeep says, "If you can give my bar a good name, I'll give you three beers right now and three tomorrow."
Rove said, "Call it 'The Elite!' "
Pauly Shore said, "The Bar With No Name!?". . .
Both suggestions were rejected and the homeless man asked, "Whats your wifes
name?"
The bartender says "Suzie."
The Street Person replied, "Call it 'Suzies Legs', as a tribute to your
wife!"
The bartender gives him three beers and reminds him to return tomorrow. The bum sleeps on the bar's front doorstep, and a cop comes up to him and says
"Sir, what the hell are you doing here?"
OOH... NURSE ASHLEY -
CHECK ME! CHECK ME!
A young husband and wife were sunning on a nude beach when a wasp buzzed into the woman's vagina. The husband covered her with a coat, pulled on his shorts, carried her to the car and made a dash to the hospital. After examining her, the doctor explained that the wasp was too far in to be reached with forceps. He suggested the husband try to entice it out by putting honey on his penis, penetrating her and withdrawing as soon as he felt the wasp. The man agreed to try, but because he was so nervous, he couldn't rise to the occasion. "If neither of you objects," the medic said, "I could give it a try." Under the circumstances, both agreed. The doctor quickly undressed, slathered on some honey and mounted the woman. The husband watched with increasing alarm as the doctor's thrust continued for several long minutes. "Hey, What the hell is happening?"
"Change of plans," The physician panted. "I'm going to drown the little bastard!."
A guy is driving his girlfriend home when she decides she wants to go to her friend's instead. Her friend lives out of the way so she tells her boyfriend that she'll get naked for him if he drives her. The guy says OK and the girl takes off all her clothes. The boyfriend is so busy looking at her that he crashes the car and gets stuck between the steering wheel and the seat. He tells her to go get help and she replies that she can’t because she doesn’t have any clothes on.
He replies, “Take my shoe and cover your snatch with it, and go for help!”
She takes the shoe and runs to the closest gas station. She finds the clerk and says, "Help, my boyfriend is stuck! Can you help us?"
The clerk replies, "I’m sorry, I think he's too far in..."
