You can

Geraldo Rivera...Casey Anthony quote of day!
A whole cast of loonie-tune characters (middle America is quite familiar with) crawled out of the woodwork this past week to toss in their expert two cents worth in respect to the controversial Casey Anthony shocker.
Uh-huh.
I spied the likes of Marcia Clark (with new "do" and fresh botox injections), Robert Shapiro (who took a break from shooting tacky television infomercials to pen his smoke-and-mirrors-style legal analysis for the Los Angeles Times), and - naturally - Geraldo Rivera (spewing his off-the-wall commentary as usual).
At one point - during a fluffy interview with a Network anchor last evening - Geraldo spat out the ridiculous (not uncommon for a fallen journalist who once treated us to a fascinating (!) gander at Al Capone's empty vault a scant few decades ago).
When quizzed about Casey Anthony's future, without-batting a tangled eye-lash (or twirling a strand or two of his bushy out-of-vogue moustache (and you thought Trump's rug was a disaster!) he quipped.
"They need to get her to a nunnery."
Say what?
Well, 'ya know I LOL.
By the way, Geraldo, I think the tired old expression actually goes something like this.
"Get thee to a nunnery!"
Sheesh!

Jay Leno...Sarah Palin (hilarious) quote of day!
In a one-on-one interview last night on cable, Jay Leno was free-wheeling - and had no qualms about fielding questions - in respect to his new career direction, family life, and plans for the future.
At one point, though, when he was asked his take on the Sarah Palin resignation, he paused a moment to reflect on the issue before responding.
First, he prefaced his response by noting that he didn't quite "get" her reasons for walking away early from her term as Governor of Alaska.
But, he saw light at the end of the tunnel in the event Palin intended to follow through on her aspirations to run for President in 2012.
"Sarah was a contestant in a pageant," Leno started off slowly.
"If she ran for President, it would be the first time a beauty Queen may have the opportunity to realize World Peace."
I nearly fell out of my bed laughing.
But, frankly, it's true!

Brad Pitt...quote on tying knot with Angelina Jolie! Inglorious Basterds retread in Theatres soon...
Love, Honor, and Obey
The barcode inscription on Angelina's arm?
Recently, sexy Brad Pitt gushed to one rapt media outlet that he definitely has love in his life!
I expect that since he said "has love" and not "a love" that he was inferring that there is much to whoop it-up-about these heady days.
For instance, Inglorious Basterds - Pitt's new feature directed by zany Quentin Tarantino - opens around the country in a scant few hours.
Die-hard Pitt fans will undoubtedly rustle up a frenzy at local and National Theatre Box Offices.
The remake of the classic action-adventure World War II originally starred Bo Svenson - a pretty cool dude (surprisingly down-to-earth for an actor) - who I met at a screening at the ever-funky New Beverly Cinema (Hollywood).

On the actual subject of "love" - in a romantic sense - the Hollywood hunk has no qualms about sharing his innermost thoughts outside of the couple's inner sanctum.
Without doubt, Angelina is the lovestruck star's "soul mate".
"Maybe we'll get married when it's legal for everyone else."
Until then, the winsome-twosome is content to live in sin despite harsh criticisms from hate-mongers who play hide-and-seek in so-called Religious organizations with the ultimate aim of meeting their own secret agendas at-any-and all costs.
Keats said it best:
"Two souls with but a single thought, two hearts that beat as one"

Parenthood...quote!
I was sipping on a hot cup of java bright and early this morning in Starbucks when a young father strode in with his tot in tow.
Suddenly, the little one (obviously, with the terrible two's) let loose with a wild tantrum which caused all heads in the coffee shop to turn around.
Embarrassed, the exasperated dad dashed outside in a bold-faced effort to quiet the little darling (errr!) without disturbing the sleepy-eyed patrons still grinding into gear.
"Short of putting a muzzle on the kid, what can you do in a situation like that," I chuckled to the mid-forties WeHo dude (gay) across the table.
"Not have them," he quipped without skipping-a-beat.
Amen!

Ann Landers...sound advice rings true today!
Years ago I use to read Ann Landers daily.
I'll always recall one tidbit of advice that she offered up that I still pay heed to today.
A reader, if I recall correctly, was asking Ann about the wisdom of writing a note to a friend to get something off their chest since a confrontation in person was too stressful to deal with emotionally.
I'll always remember her response.
First, the popular columnist noted that when people were upset they often said or did things they might be ashamed of later when their heels had cooled a little.
Ann cautioned that if they were inclined to write a note in a moment of anger - then dash out to the mail box for the next pick up by the U.S. Post Office - that it may be a better idea to put the envelope in a drawer overnight.
"The next morning read the letter before you're about to post it. If you feel the same way as you did in the heat of the moment, then mail it. Chances are, you won't."
She went on to point out that this kind of prudent action might just save a friendship or prevent a love interest from walking.
I adhere to that rule of thumb, today.
However, in the age of home PC's and high-speed e-mail delivery, the rules may have been rewritten a smidgen to adapt to technology in the new millennium.
For example, if you're getting ready to zip off a nasty e-mail to a friend that has annoyed you, save it as a draft, first.
The next morning if the missive stills seems an appropriate way to deal with the misunderstanding, then hit "send" by all means.
Wait for the reply.
But, if the stress is too great to deal with, just input their name and e-mail address in the preferences mode under "block".
It's kind of like hiding your head in the sand - or delaying the inevitable - but at least you'll manage to avoid a confrontation.
And, just maybe the truth, eh?
Samuel Taylor Coleridge:
"Advice is like snow; the softer it falls the longer it dwells upon, and the deeper it sinks into the mind."
Cathleen Fuller played Ann Landers in
"The Lady with All the Answers."

Kids...say the darndest things!
Occasionally when I pop into the local pharmacy (CVS), there is a pleasant outgoing middle-aged woman on the counter, who gets a giggle out of sharing some poignant moment that unfolded in front of her in the busy retail outlet.
How refreshing to encounter a real person with a healthy sense of humour in phoney-baloney Los Angeles.
For the most part, residents of the California mecca dash around like plastic mannequins, afraid to break into a smile for fear their faces might crack (or melt in the mid-day sun).
But, not to get side-tracked!
"Today, a young mother came into the store and asked her daughter ("she was about two or so," the cashier noted in an aside as her nose wrinkled up a smidgen) what she wanted for her birthday."
Without skipping a beat, the adorable young tot chirped:
"I want one of those plastic cards, Mommy, that you put into the machine that gives back cash."
Out of the mouths of babes!
An unknown author said it best:
"Children seldom misquote. In fact, they usually repeat word for word what you shouldn't have said."

Gandhi...quote on God!
I can see that in the midst of darkness light persists
Hence, I gather that God is life, truth, light
He is love
He is the Supreme Good

Barack Obama...Schwarzenegger takes swipe at Presidential Candidate! Big Bruiser has some nerve...
As Barack Obama heads into the home stretch of the Presidential race, you have to wonder if he has the strength to make it across the finish line.
After all, Arnold Schwarzenegger is quoted as having said about Barack:
"He needs to do something with those skinny legs."
Arnold, I'm sure he'd rather have slender gams than be thick in the head like you!
