Look at my son Jack, on my birthday. He refused to smile and was embarrassed to sit next to me in case his friends saw him. Check out his crooked half smile in every pic... Hilarious!
Birthday with the family at Islands. The other kids (which includes hubby) were sitting opposite us. Went to see HARRY POTTER after dinner. The kids refused to go, but I LOVED THE NEW HARRY POTTER!! I'm a geek, what can I say? Love fantasy, magic, horror and sci fi. Now I see a resemblance between RUPERT GRINT AND MICK JAGGER as far as sex appeal goes! I couldn't se how Hermoine wouldn't be more attracted to Harry Potter, but Rupert is SEXY!! Draco Malfoy is positively sinister. And I adored Jim Broadbent, one of my favorite actors. So funny!

FROM CLEAVAGE...
I am so sick of cleavage! But I can't quit cold turkey. I'm not spiritually evolved enough yet to stop dressing like a hooker, but I did try on a turtleneck the other day. You can't get a job in this town without "lap dancer" on your resume, and I'm referring to the writers, not the actors.

Bill Dailey has always been a favorite since "I DREAM OF JEANIE" days! We got to talk for about 3o minutes. He has an amazing life in New Mexico and directs theater there.
One of my favorite people is Rosanna Arquette. I got to say hi and she was so sweet, but I wish I had told her how much I adore her.
Saw the gorgeous Bond Girls Maud Adams and Tanya Roberts.

Cornell is a women and children’s advocate, and an inspirational speaker on teen suicide prevention — as well as on drug and alcohol abuse.
Sober for fourteen years, Cornell found her younger brother’s body after a drug overdose, and speaks to recovery groups of up to 300 or more. She is a mother of tweenagers.
She also speaks at schools, colleges, hospitals and women’s groups about her experiences in overcoming loss, tragedy, unemployment, sexism, ageism, depression, self-sabotage, obnoxious teenagers — and every imaginable hardship. Her talks are laced with poignant stories of transformation with an innate sense of comic timing. “If you can laugh at yourself you probably won’t kill yourself.”
People may be sick of hearing about celebrities are in recovery, but as Dr. Drew Pinsky of Celebrity Rehab says, “Addiction is the disease of our time.” Alcohol is the number one drug of choice among teens in America. Young people are in crisis; girls ages 10-15 have the lowest self-esteem and highest rate of suicide attempts of any other group. Add to this the fact that over 85% of violent crime is alcohol and drug related, and we have an epidemic — yet this is rarely mentioned in media reports.
What would cause a once-gifted child to drink to excess, and to risk the life of her own child?
No one ever talks about the hidden element, the most vital element of recovery, which is often ignored in mainstream TV and press. And no one asks the root question: why is everyone in rehab? What breed of person comes to Hollywood seeking the adoration of strangers? Wanting to be famous is an American malaise.
Cornell does not mince words. She has experienced true miracles in sobriety, but people rarely delve into this crucial aspect of 12-step programs. “It’s not enough to put down the drug or drink; once you put down the ‘spirits’ you have to fill the void with a lasting peace. You have to go out in the world and live your life with joy,” Cornell writes.
Cornell answers some hard questions about celebrity and why so many kill themselves with drugs and alcohol — from someone who has not only been there herself, but who lost friends and loved ones. But Cornell overcomes the universal urge to blame others and play the victim. As Michael Jackson said, “It all starts with the man in the mirror.” Or in the words of Stuart Smalley, “It's easier to wear slippers than to carpet the whole world.”

Kristy Swanson is also a favorite (the original "Buffy the Vampire Slayer") Richard Kiel was there, and all the Jasons from Friday the 13th, including my old friend Warrington Gillette :) Good to see you Warrington. I have fond memories of Aspen! But I don't really remember that much, since those were the wild days of lost brain cells.
My favorite Twilight Zone and Star Trek guest star WARREN STEVENS sat right to my left. He is so amazing, so brilliant. His wife was named Lydia and he has some great sons. I wish I could have stayed and just visited with all the stars, but we couldn't leave our tables. I used to do these shows and never get to walk around.

"That slutty flight attendant look." This, Clif, as opposed to, what, that classy, chaste flight attendant look. Of course, it was an insult to flight attendants, you ignoramus. And, Clif, it is NEVER (regardless of whether you hate the person or not), EVER, acceptable to use the term slutty to describe a female politician. How would you respond if a conservative had said that about Barbara Boxer, say. You would have been outraged and you would have been justified. You're the hypocrite, Mr. Unemployable.
ReplyDeleteI brought up Letterman's situation to underscore the fact that this fellow has absolutely NO right to judge ANYBODY. And, yes, if he wants to take cheap shots at others, it would probably be best if he got in own house in order first.
ReplyDeleteAre you talking about racist Jeff Sessions or arrogant, patronizing Lindsay Graham, both unqualified to hold public office?
ReplyDeleteShe is a mother of tweenagers.
ReplyDeletetweenagers?
Way to publicly embarrass them Lydia.
it is NEVER (regardless of whether you hate the person or not), EVER, acceptable to use the term slutty to describe a female politician.;
ReplyDeleteas opposed to,
Will "take no prisoners" Hart said...
I'd absolutely write a speech for her, Clif. She'd have to show me her boobs, though.
Pot, kettle, widdle will you know the rest.
Freakin' HYPOCRITE
I said that I'd ask to see her boobs, Clif. I didn't say that she'd show them to me. And I didn't call her slutty. I wouldn't want to see a slutty woman's boobs, Clif. Would you?
ReplyDeleteNice attempt at avoiding the obvious "skippy".
ReplyDeleteYou know whether you are the pot or kettle son.
ReplyDeleteMe thinks pot since the kettle is the larger of the two and you are a scrawny attention seeking foole.
ReplyDeleteI said that I'd ask to see her boobs,
ReplyDelete.... soooo sexism is OK-dokey when widdle will does it, but not when somebody his reich-wing friends are currently mad at does it?
what a freakin HYPOCRITE.
Who are you guys talking about?
ReplyDeleteIf you werent spending all your time hiding behind anonymouse handles maybe you could keep up
ReplyDeleteI check out chicks, Clif. I don't care if they're Republican or Democrat. And like I said there, numbnuts, I didn't call ANYBODY slutty or talk about anybody's daughters. So, yeah, you're wrong, as usual. "got knocked up in the 7th inning by Alex Rodriguez" That's what Letterman said, bozo. In your mind, I guess that this is acceptable (only because it was heaved at a Republican's child), huh? Man, you are one disgusting individual.
ReplyDeleteNumbnuts;
ReplyDeleteyou were making the sexist comments while attacking Letterman for doing it;
not me;
freakin' clueless HYPOCRITE.
You are becoming more like O'Rielly everyday son.
ReplyDeleteHe is as clueless as you are about his hypocrissy.
I am a Cherokee, and I lost count of the number of my relatives that drowned their lives in the cups years ago. I do know, for certain, that a lot of it in the case of my own relatives and acquaintances all had to do with hope; if you don't have any, you don't care.
ReplyDeleteThanks to 30 years of "conservative" policies in this country, hope is about as rare as a Rushpublican that isn't burning crosses. I don't know how we even begin to actually give the unfortunate many any real hope.
Huge difference between calling somebody hot and calling them slutty. And, really, Clif, you shouldn't be judging anybody on the topic of sexual inappropriateness; all that homophobic humor you laid on my and Volt's doorstep.
ReplyDeleteHey, I can hide behind anonymouse handles if I want. It's a free country.
ReplyDeleteCan we talk about Jeff Sessions? He is an avowed racist. He said he admired the Ku Klux Klan (until he found out they smoke pot.)
Sessions said the NAACP was too "civil rights oriented" or to "stop ramming civil rights down our throats!
Why does this jerk get to sit in judgment of anyone? Why does he get free national government health insurance for himself and all his family, paid for by you and me. Yet he is such a bigot and a horrible example of an American.
How embarrassing for the world to see a man like this and all the others, including Lindsay Graham, repeatedly focusing on race and trying to attack a very thoughtful judge for being a racist because they were too hateful and stupid to really understand the context of her statement 8 YEARS AGO at an inspirational talk to a group of Latina women who needed someone to encourage them to go for their dreams.
Scalia talked about his Italian heritage. And he has the biggest chip on his shoulder. He is fueled by hate and resentment of anyone in the lower classes.
I don't want my relatives to chase me down. They have guns! And they think they are Christians!
ReplyDeleteSo I will not use my name.
But you know who I am.
ReplyDeleteAnd who on earth made the rule here that we can't use anonymous handles?
That is ridiculous. This is my blog and I say its fine.
In fact, please come up with clever ones.
Hell Lydia, Sessions BACKED Judge Pickering for a appellate court bench AFTER it was exposed pickering defended a racist who burned a cross on an African American families lawn.
ReplyDeleteHistorians' Petition Against the Nomination of Charles Pickering, Sr.
To wit;
"members of the Senate are (or should be) aware of the facts involved in Judge Pickering’s intervention on behalf of a man convicted of burning a cross in Mississippi— an action that several independent legal ethics experts have called a flat-out violation of the ethics code for federal judges."
Funny when a republican leaning judge defends racist ACTIONS by another, that seems OK by republicans.
But they get to LIE about the meaning of the words Sotomayor speaks,
Double standard hypocrites the lot of them.
Huge difference between calling somebody hot and calling them slutty.
ReplyDeleteYo dingle berry, you didn't call her "hot"
You said you wanted her to expose herself to you.
I'm sure her husband and kids would think her exposing herself to you was slutty at all ...... moron.
Damn are you clueless
homophobic humor?
ReplyDeletecare to elaborate ... dingle berry.
Hey crusty, do ya know the difference between a reich-wing troll and whale feces,
ReplyDeleteabout four feet,
you look you to see the whale feces.
Now get back to waiting tables loser.
What he said;
ReplyDeleteA Few Random Observations Regarding the Behavior of Republicans at the Sonia Sotomayor Confirmation Hearing:
About sums up why the repugnant party has shrunk the way ity has.
They spread reich-wing disinfo, and lose money at it;
ReplyDeleteSinclair Broadcast Group spelled out Tuesday just how close it is to bankruptcy.
Isn't karma a funny god?
Clif, I'd like to see Courteney Cox's boobs, too. And Felicity Huffman's. And Kristin Scott Thomas's. And Diane Lane's. And Helena Bonham Carter's. And Naomi Watts's. If all of this makes me a sexist, then, yeah, I'm a flat-out sexist.
ReplyDeleteStill, though, Clif, I've never referred to any female politician as slutty. And I've never slimed the children of any politician. That stuff is far off the table, in my opinion. Yeah, kind of like that noxious penchant of yours; comparing people who disagree with you to Nazis.
ReplyDeleteHey, Lydia, that lady who played your sister kind of reminds me of Karen Valentine (Room 222). You remember her, right?
ReplyDeleteLydia...
ReplyDeleteI wish we were still on the same coast. I wish I could have been there the night of your hosting. I remember back when my entertainment career was moving so fast I let it get away from me. I guess...I KNOW I didn't handle the long hours on the sets and the hanging around that goes on behind the scenes. I was very ego driven and if I didn't have the spotlight...or couldn't steal it when I was doing live stuff...I got myself to a place of a bunch of no good! Thank you for your intervention when we were neighbors! Lyd...if you didn't live near me in Beverly Hills...I know I would just another stupid statistic. The whole "life in the fast lane" is very real in showbiz...and in real life...even today, I don't drink and drug anymore but, I let my "isms" go wild. I know you know all about my temper...and how I can bait people to feel just as bad as I do sometimes. I know you've been there for some fall out. Way back when I lived there up until now. I try to do my best everyday but, have to remain aware of what I have the potential to do. I pray...big and small. I pray for peace and harmony in my body and mind...all the way to peace and harmony on the planet. I'm sure I'm going to catch some heat from your bloggers but, they don't pay my rent or taxes...so until they show me their papers as the "new messiah" or the supreme ruler of the universe they should read, respond in accordance to what this topic and what I'm saying is all about.
Aside from our friendship...you know I follow you and your brilliant writings and awesome comedy...and I privvy enough to know a bit of what's in store from you to the world.
I think in a lot of ways a lot of people that don't have problems with "substances" have the same behaviors as those that face or have faced or continue to face that deadly disease. It took me a long time to call it a disease that needed to be surrendered to. My doctor said, "Jimmy, I know you've heard the whole diabetic needing insulin stories...and you need to treat your disease etc...but can you look around you at all the fall out from your addictions. I had a moment of clarity when, I as an adult sat on the floor in the middle of the late August heat...in the dark...and put my head in my grandmother's lap...and just cried and cried. She in her simple but, oh so wise way said to me that she'll always love me but, I needed to get ahold of my "bad case of nerves" because it's killing her and my mom. She said, it's not so bad...and sometimes when you don't feel like it you just have to push yourself...nerves and all. I got sober...with her help, my mom's, my doctor...and you calling my "critically acclaimed nuthouse" to tell and read to me Emmet Fox's Golden Key. You listened...and offered advice from your own experiences...I spent so much time listening to my disease that I didn't listen to anyone else's voice. Not even my own. So back to my gradmother...Do you get what she was telling me? It was killing the people I loved and that loved me the most...watching me die a little bit more everyday. She told me I was no different than her or anyone else. I just needed to push myself sometimes...even with my bad nerves..."Fake it until you make it" hello...
...continued...
ReplyDeleteFrom the intensity of the horror as Dewars, Coke, Painkillers etc...tore me up and down...in the middle of it all I would bold face lie and call you crazy if you even suggested I MIGHT have a problem. You...so long ago was the outspoken one that nailed me and told me straight out that I was an addict/alcoholic. Not in those words but, you didn't beat around the bush. I got sober right after you...had a little tune up not long later...
And Lydia...
Thank you from all my heart for saving my ass. As you know I can call the shots for you me and everyone...you pretty much told me...uhhh...no.
For the people that have the luxury for a posh rehab...or just an outpatient...it is very, very worth it. I know I'm not here for just me. I belong to all of those that love me...you pointed that out again and again. Today, I dig myself. I'm in love. Great family. And as you and others know I was able to hand my sister and grandmother...from my arms...back to God. Those were 2 of the biggest honors in my life. I wasn't in a selfish state of mind where I'm hanging with a demon sipping on it's newest brew.
A million different stories, excuses, reasons...it's all the same baby.
Recovery starts with yourself and God...and one person...and trust...and you kind of have to send your ego back to hell.
Thank you Lydia...
Thank you God..
Don't stop you two.
The many you reach...like me...were able to laugh, cry, forgive, live, love...and return the favor...
Full Circle.
Love you bright eyes.
Jim
When did my comments have to be so short or am I just greedy?
ReplyDeleteJim, THANK YOU!! More soon....
ReplyDeleteClif- that is outrageous! I can't believe that Judge Pickering scandal.
Do you think most Americans are aware of this?
I'm up working till 3 AM almost done!!
Where's Mike?
I have an amazing website ya'll have to check out.
Lydia given how the GOP frames their hypocrissy and racism in victimhood attacking everyone for their shortcomings, they act like it was a crime to prevent known racitsts like Sessions and Pickering from advancing up the bench.
ReplyDeleteHell look how widdle will attacks others for his sexist attitude.
Oh Clif you're so comical...reich wing trolls,whale
ReplyDeletefeces....oh my god....ha ha ha ha ha....oh god...I'm laughing so damn hard....ha ha ha ha....oh god I cant stand it,thats the best one I've heard in a long time.Oh man.reich wing trolls...whale feces....oh my I cant take it,ha ha ha ha.....oh christ,can I use that one?
That one must have gotten the boys
ReplyDeletelaughing while you were handing out the socks and underware.
You're just a laugh a minute.
ReplyDeleteEven with your "disability" perhaps
ReplyDeleteyou could earn an honest buck as a stand up comic.
Remember that guy with bag over his head,the "unknown comic?" You could pick up on that and put a five gallon bucket over your head.
Hell,maybe I could help and get you a couple bookings in sin city.
Crusty the people are waiting for their refreshments
ReplyDeletequit wasting their time
Hey JR, do you know the difference between an indian chick
ReplyDeleteand a whale.....about 20 pounds
and a tavern jacket,rim shot here!
I'm here till Tues....tip your waiters.
It's OK.... we know that you "little" white boys are jealous of our "enhancements." I'm really sorry you had to settle for your sister, while I was enjoying my youth. And when she rejected you...... man. I really wish I could speak to that kind of pain, but I've never known it. I do have a great deal of empathy for you, though. Your "small" racist rantings can't mask your hurt.
Me thinks JR speaks with forked tongue,kimosabe.
ReplyDeleteHaving established that you have a "small" area between your ears to compliment the one between your legs, it is no wonder you're trying to hide behind anonymity. But really, crusty.... there are few who write the stupid sh*t you do, and you stand out, even in a sea of inbred right wing mental midgets.
ReplyDeleteYou might as well come clean. No, nobody's gonna try to make you take a bath-it's a figure of speech.
Me think Mrs.JR like the forked tongue.
ReplyDeleteJR you should really consider
ReplyDeletetaking your nose out of the paint can,that surely cant be good for you in the long run.Perhaps an intervention is in order.
You do seem quite obsessed with male genitailia in your postings.
ReplyDeleteAre you peeking out of your closet?Is it possible you're playing for the other team?Are you a bit light in the loafers?Not that theres anything wrong with it.
Hi Lydia
ReplyDeleteI was leaving the Beverly Center a couple of nights ago. You were talking to a small group of your always present fans when the photographers were moving in on you I slipped out. How do you stay so calm around all that? Your fans really love you as I saw the same thing with you last month at the Century City Plaza! Well, honey we haven't a chance for coffee or anything. I will call you (if I can get you) about the next meet and greet for my favorite charity. Give me or B a call. Hugs AJ

More soon,
This weekend at the Burbank Hilton: HOLLYWOOD SHOW.
ReplyDeleteProceeds from my sales go to children's charities, women's shelters and newly foreclosed-upon homeowners!!
This is an amazing show. First time ever:
Rosanna Arquette, Shannon Doherty, Kathy Najimy, Happy Days Cast all together! Too Close for Comfort's Lydia Cornell and Deborah Van Valkenburgh!!
Lou Ferrigno, THE ORIGINAL BOND GIRLS: Maud Adams (Octopussy!) etc,
Check out their website on my front page.
I just checked out the "Hollywood Show" website to see who was going to be there and it looks INCREDIBLE!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't believe all the stars that are going to be at this show. There are all sorts of stars from modern TV shows like Battlestar Galactica and such, and some of the GREATS from the old days.
Tom Bosely's (Mr C) from Happy Days will be there as well as Anson Williams (Potsie), Donny Most (Ralph Malph), Marion Ross(Mrs C) and Erin Moran (Shortcake) and even Henry Winkler (The FONZ, AYYYYYYYYYYYY) is going to be there.
And remember Bill Daly? From I dream of Jeannie (Major Healy) and the Bob Newhart Show (Howard Borden)? He's going to be there.
Mike Lookinland and Chris Knight and Barry Williams from the Brady Bunch will be there (Bobby and Peter and Greg) and get this.
Even Davy Jones from the Monkee's will be there. And then there's Shelly Hack from Charlies Angels, Kristy Swanson (hubba hubba), Jason Mewes (Jay and Silent Bob), Taylor Dayne, and even some of the old greats will be there.
Tommy KIRK will be there. I didn't even know he was still around. Tommy Kirk from all the old beach party movies and the great "OLD YELLER". We grew up watching him.
So will Alan Young, star of the old time great "Mister Ed".
And there's some cool obscure ones like David Cochise (from one of my favorite old cult films "The WARRIORS"). This list just goes on and on. I can't believe they're getting that many stars together like that. I wish I could go.
That would be the chance of a lifetime.
By the way, you can see the list of stars that will be there here.
ReplyDeleteAmazing,a comment is never crule or rude if it comes Moe,Larry and Curly,A.K.A. Mike,Worf or Clif.
ReplyDeleteAbsoulty no double standard there.
Worf wants to go see blondies sign autographs so he can stalk her like he has here for years. I bet it is tantrum time again if he doesn't get his way
ReplyDeleteLydia, I just added you to my "following" group on Twitter ... hope you dont mind.
ReplyDeleteWhy doesn't everyone bow down to the resident madman psycho Worf. He is soooo paranoid.
ReplyDeleteGet off here bondage boy.
ReplyDeletewell, if it isnt our old friend "Jackie"
ReplyDeleteI'm anonymous because I wouldn't want you people knowing its me.
ReplyDeleteI'm not very courageous that way.
Apparently
ReplyDeleteI hate to say it, Clif. But when it comes to this Sessions character, I pretty much agree with you. To call this fellow mediocre is an insult to mediocrity. I think that both parties need to thoroughly re-examine this seniority thing.
ReplyDeleteIs MCH that creepy guy?
ReplyDeleteIs this guy worf a stalker? I checked out that list of "stars"
ReplyDeletehe posted.Has anyone on that list
been in anything the past 10 years?
Talk about D list.
What the hell kind of blog is this?Bondage? Stalkers? Has beens?

ReplyDeleteFive Republican judges switch to Democratic Party, including four from Jefferson County
Wow........what an AMAZING lineup.........I loved most of those shows.
ReplyDeleteAlan Young is still alive? Holy crap.
ReplyDeleteLike one of the comments indicated, both parties are controlled lock, stock, and barrell by special interests. Take a look at Max Baucus's contibutors, Cliffy; pharaceuticals and the health insurance industry. Nice, huh?
ReplyDeleteHey hey hey breaking news the stalker has been spotted at the hollywood autograph show. Watch out blondie psycho worfeus is on your tail.
ReplyDeleteNow the stalker has been seen lurking in a corner near blondies table. Look at stalker worfeus slobber.
ReplyDeleteHey loser anonymous...
ReplyDeleteThe one hurling insults at celebrities dedicating time and money into a worthy cause...did you ever think these "has been's" retired like everyday people...or just left Hollyweird on their own?
The guy with the biggest mouth is usually compensating for being hung like a tic tac. If you are a girl you sound like worf ditched you for Lydia.
Talk about blowhard has been people...is that you "Dick" Cheny?
Lydia!
ReplyDeleteIt's almost your birthday! Hard to believe you'll be 30!
You are actually ageless. We need to imprison you in a lab and find out the secret so that we may all be eternally good looking like you.
If he could touch her yellow hair...if he could kiss her tender lips...if he could lick her mellow ears...if only stalker worf could catch his blondie.
ReplyDeleteFYI, folks. This Wednesday at 8 PM (Eastern Time), Turner Classic Movies will be showing Waterloo Bridge, staring the incomparable Vivien Leigh. I mean, I know you guys probably wouldn't want to miss Olbermann and Maddow but, please, I implore you, give it a rest for just this one evening. Vivien Leigh will blow your figging minds. I guarantee it!!
ReplyDeleteThose pictures are so cool. Ralph, Potsie, Greg and Peter Brady, Davy Jones and the FONZ!

Hey STUPID look back at what happened to those Idiot pirates that took that captain hostage........then tell your Right Wing masters to come up with some NEW talking points the comparing him to Carter and "pretending" he's incompetent like "YOUR" guys are just aint working.
Take a good long look in the mirror troll and think about how inbred stupid you look and sound!
Everyone there is working and doing amazing things. In fact, I've never seen so many gorgeous, wonderful people. This economic crisis has really turned our values around and shown us what is real.
ReplyDeleteAfter Michael Jackson died, and Farrah died, we have to honor the people whom we grew up with and that are still making us laugh. And I'm so happy to be part of the creative community -- the people who really create value in the world as opposed to "bankers" who shuffle non-existent "money" around and pretend to create wealth...
Or war mongers and liars that DESTROY instead of create.
Or medical insurance companies that exist to EXCLUDE people.
None of your paper tigers do anything except destroy good work.
So we should only focus on what we want and ignore the idiots.
I love creative people.
Does anyone else find it a bit quizical that Lydia titles her heading "In withdrawal from cleavage" yet in everyone of her pictures shes showing nothing but?
ReplyDeleteI'll bet her sons friends are talking about those puppies at school.
O.K. Mike,how about you make a guess at how long that soldier will be held captive. Come on sport give a number of days you feel he will be held.Or else STFU.
ReplyDeleteO.K. Mike,how about you make a guess at how long that soldier will be held captive.

and always have been a yellow bellied coward hiding behind the gutless attacks on others.
Clif,that sure was an idiotic comment you made.
ReplyDeleteThe question was,either you or your girlfriend Mike can answer it.
How long do you think the soldier
captured by the taliban will be held?
Its simple you or Mike or both could just answer the question.
Why is this James Hillis always writting about "dick?"
ReplyDelete... Clif,that sure was an idiotic comment you made. ...
ReplyDeleteYou mean the one that shows what a yellow bellied coward you are?
Still wont answer the question will ya sparky.Have you no faith in president Obie?
ReplyDeleteCome on queenie answer it.
Lydia must have seen the irony between her comment about cleavage and her pictures and took it down.
ReplyDeleteWay to go Lydia.
I do best telling others what to do and demanding they answer my moronic questions when I'm cowering from behind this anonymous handle.
ReplyDeleteIt makes my empty fruitless life feel somehow less hopeless and unimportant this way.
I'm not really sure why all I do is insult people and taunt them with juvenile insults from behind my anonymous handle.
ReplyDeleteI think it has something to do with my own sense of worthlessness and inadequacy.
But for whatever reason, it makes me feel a little less pathetic when I can come in every day and insult people, and try to drag others down to my pit of despair.
ReplyDeleteSomehow it makes me feel better.
I feed off of these negative emotions.
ReplyDeleteAnd we all have to eat, right?
ReplyDeleteActually...
ReplyDeleteI think you hiding your identity and making insulting comments to "miserablize" folks is really
Funny and amusing. You are also a benefit by upping site traffic and engaging other readers to post comments about how stupid you are. In my estimation, what I think you're doing is awesome. Keep up the good work and we will continue laughing...and watch the hits and ranks go up!

Maybe you'll get it someday. Smart people love the irony. That's THE WHOLE POINT!
Vivien Leigh dies in the end, Clif. Ya' happy? In the words of Dwight Yoakam's character in "Sling Blade", "eff me."

Of course, until recently I thought an oxymoron was a dumb steer.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Lydia!
ReplyDeleteWhat can I tell you, Clif, I'm a softie. I still recommend it. Great performances all the way around. Even Robert Taylor (who I normally find a little on the wooden side) was stellar.
ReplyDeleteSeeing all those people.... reminds me of what a different era-what a different COUNTRY-we lived in back then.
ReplyDeleteFor a few years, it looked like we might go in the right direction, and join Europe and Canada as a progressive civilized state. Then, of course, we and the UK got thrown off the tracks; we got it much worse with Saint Ronnie and the Bushes, but you know what I'm saying.
I have tried to explain to my own children that my anger is partially motivated by grief. The America they know is not the same one I knew as a kid. My old friend is gone.
It sounds like the president agrees witya'
ReplyDeleteThanks Mike! For the birthday wishes.

The Neoconservative Christian wants nothing to do with helping the poor or the sick. No sirree. Not with THEIR tax dollars you don't.
ReplyDeleteIf someones poor, and sick, and someone "wants" to help them out, well then ok. But if no one "wants" to help them out, then f$#k em.
They're on their own.
It's what Jesus would want.
It's what Jesus taught, right?
We have no obligation to help the sick and the poor.
:|
None whatsoever.
"Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels.
For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink. I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not. Sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me."
Matthew 25
It's impossible to be against free Public Health Care, and to also be a Christian.
ReplyDeleteAt least at the same time.
"For I was an hungred, and ye did not forcibly take a collection from all of your countrymen and gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye did not forcibly take a collection from all of your countrymen and gave me no drink. I was a stranger, and ye did not force someone else to bear the cost and took me not in: naked, and ye did not steal from others for my garments and clothed me not. Sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not."
ReplyDeleteFixed that for ya...
"It's impossible to be against free Public Health Care, and to also be a Christian."
NOTHING is "free". Resources are finite. Are you willing to sacrifice quality for quantity?
AND a persons generosity is not a credit if forced.
"The Neoconservative Christian wants nothing to do with helping the poor or the sick. No sirree. Not with THEIR tax dollars you don't."
ReplyDeleteReally?
Ever think that just MAYBE it has more to do with someone else deciding they know better what to do with a persons hard earned money?
Am I being virtuous in Jesus eyes because I'm FORCED to give up my money under threat of prison?
How can I personally be generous when what I have is forcibly taken?
If the government is being virtuous by giving away everyone else's money will IT get into heaven?
Your religious argument is lacking on several fronts.
Not the least of which is that Jesus was talking about the personal grace of the INDIVIDUAL.
Secondly, this is about POLITCAL power for the party in charge. It has very little to do with "helping" anyone, and in the long run it will help NO ONE.
"For I was an hungred, and ye did not forcibly take a collection from all of your countrymen and gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye did not forcibly take a collection from all of your countrymen and gave me no drink. I was a stranger, and ye did not force someone else to bear the cost and took me not in: naked, and ye did not steal from others for my garments and clothed me not. Sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not."
ReplyDeleteFixed that for ya...
Fixed it, wasn't Matthew's original manuscript good enough for ya volty?
Typical reich winger, rewriting what ever they need to rewrite, including the Bible to sell their ignorant crap.
Too bad the PRINTED bibles in Matthew 25 says:
The text of the passage appears in Matthew's Gospel, and is the final portion of a section containing a series of parables. From Matthew 25:31–46 (WEB):
31"But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory.
32Before him all the nations will be gathered, and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
33He will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34Then the King will tell those on his right hand, 'Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world;
35for I was hungry, and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me drink. I was a stranger, and you took me in.
36I was naked, and you clothed me. I was sick, and you visited me. I was in prison, and you came to me.'
37"Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you; or thirsty, and give you a drink?
38When did we see you as a stranger, and take you in; or naked, and clothe you? 39When did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?'
40"The King will answer them, 'Most certainly I tell you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'
41Then he will say also to those on the left hand, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels;
42for I was hungry, and you didn't give me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink;
43I was a stranger, and you didn't take me in; naked, and you didn't clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you didn't visit me.'
44"Then they will also answer, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and didn't help you?'
45"Then he will answer them, saying, 'Most certainly I tell you, inasmuch as you didn't do it to one of the least of these, you didn't do it to me.'
46These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."
Umm, Volt, your rewriting of the bible is blasphemous to most Christians son.
BTW Matthew uses the word NATIONS not individual people, think Christ knew you reich wing fooles would certainly play fast and loose with his word he commanded all of us to follow?
So he was very specific with the words he chose to use?

Wow, and there's Voltron. Who'd've thunk it?
First, you didn't fix it for me Judas. You fixed it for Jesus.
He said it. I didn't.
Second, no ones forcing you to do anything other than pay taxes.
And like every citizen those tax dollars will be spent on things you like, and things you don't like.
Don't like paying taxes? Great. Take a number and get in line. But until you change the law and figure out a way to run a country and a government without tax dollars and then implement that way, you have to pay taxes like everyone else and once they're in the PUBLIC coffers, they will be spent on things you like, and things you don't like.
Now, lets talk about what you don't like.
You don't like the idea of a portion of the tax dollars you are going to pay anyway, being used to heal the sick and care for the poor.
That's what you don't like.
Which says more about your character than any of your self serving smug comments, ever could.
But if you really feel that way, just send me all your money and I'll decide who is most deserving and give it away for you.
ReplyDeleteThen you can sit at home in your lean-to eating beans cooked in a pot over an open fire and feel all generous and shit.
Guaranteed pass straight into heaven.
Am I being virtuous in Jesus eyes because I'm FORCED to give up my money under threat of prison?
ReplyDeleteNo, he already knows how greedy, small minded and hypocritical you are son, the fight against helping the least among us in one of the most expedient way in a modern world just shows it for the rest of us.
Voltron ...
ReplyDeleteNOTHING is "free". Resources are finite. Are you willing to sacrifice quality for quantity?
You mean the quality care that killed one of my parents and almost killed the other?
You mean the quality care that killed my aunt?
You mean the quality care that dropped a 4 year old girl when she was diagnosed with bone cancer, tying up her care long enough to leave them with no options but to amputate her leg?
You mean the quality care that dumps old ladies off in the streets of Chicago, New York, Jersey, Maryland, DC, Virginia, etc?
You mean the quality care, that millions of Americans can't get?
A country that will not care for its sick or injured is less than great.
But if you really feel that way, just send me all your money and I'll decide who is most deserving and give it away for you..
ReplyDeletesorry volty, but you haven't earned that right either in Gods eyes or under mans laws.

Just smug, arrogance from a little man with a little mind who has little reason to be arrogant.
A country that won't care for its sick or injured is less than great, and a person so petty as to demand that his tax dollars not be spent to help the poor, or even his fellow man, is not worth the energy it takes to clean up his waste products.
You're a little man voltron, and you always were.
"So your sarcasm is just a way to try to hide the fact you had to change Christs words to make your straw man argument work."
ReplyDeleteNo cliffy, I was simply illustrating how WORF would have to change Christs words to make HIS argument work.
CHRIST is our PERSONAL savior, not government.
in the long run it will help NO ONE."
ReplyDeleteFunny the clowns like reagan who fought against medicade and medicare said the same thing,
however millions have been helped where the private industry of health insurance just kicks them to the curb
I was simply illustrating how WORF would have to change Christs words to make HIS argument work.
ReplyDeleteWhat a LIAR you are.
Worf posted the actual words of Christ;
YOU changed them
you LIAR
Damn you are just as big a hypocrite as you have always been.
ReplyDeleteYou change the words and claim worf has to
ReplyDeleteBUT Worf didn't have to
Christs words are what worf wrote in his post
damn still as dishonest and delusional as always eh volt?
Christ ACTUAL words are what you are fighting against, which is why YOU not worf had to change the words of Christ to make your slimy argument work
ReplyDeletesorry but you are the one being blasphemous here;
NOT worf.
How slimy can ya get?
ReplyDeleteDenying the actual words of Jesus as they are written in the Bible to attack the ideals he preached about being enacted here and now.

ReplyDeleteI haven't made that demand Worf, although I do believe that government isn't the answer, nor should it be the FIRST line of protection in that area.
As far as a country not helping it's sick or poor, you're completely free to step up to the plate and lead by example.
If you don't think their taking enough, pay extra this year. They DO allow that you know.
Just for a few pieces of silver.
ReplyDeleteVoltron said...
ReplyDeleteNo cliffy, I was simply illustrating how WORF would have to change Christs words to make HIS argument work.
Wrong dirtbag.
Nothing needs to be changed to apply Matthew 25 to your apathy of the poor.
Jesus made it clear ANYTIME you fail to help the sick, or the poor, you fail him. Anytime.
You are here, like the swine servant of the RNC that you are, preaching against allowing a portion of your measly tax dollars that you pay on your little 1040 every year, be spent on those less fortunate than yourself.
That's what you're doing.
No other way to slice it.
You TWIST it, to claim someones forcing you to do something, but that's the RNC cue card lie of the day.
You already have to pay taxes asswipe.
You're just fighting against a portion of them being spent on the poor.
Which means NOTHING in Matthew 25 needed to be changed to apply to you.
In fact, he was talking to you.
"Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
ReplyDeleteThen shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me."
Nice DODGE volt, the words YOU changed is what we are debating,
ReplyDeleteNice try at ignoring YOU not worf changed the words to try to make your slimy anti-Christian points here tonight
Poor Eric, his lies and deceit about the words of Jesus, undermining his slimy attempt to make RNC spin superior to the demands of Jesus.
ReplyDeleteSo you're saying JESUS was promoting big government NOT personal generosity Cliffy?
ReplyDeleteWell that's a relief. I'll just let the government give my money away as they see fit and know that I have a seat in heaven.
I'm GENEROUS! I pay taxes!
What a good person I am.
Well volty, YOU had to change Jesus Christs actual words to attack worf's posts, so evidently YOU think so;
ReplyDeleteOther wise YOU would have felt a meed to change the actual words of Jesus Christ as printed in the English version of the Holy Bible.
YOUR actions seem to say YOU think so but do not like it.
Your actions show you couldn't use Jesus own words to defend your position so YOU had to change the words of Jesus.
ReplyDeleteVoltron said...
ReplyDeleteSo you're saying JESUS was promoting big government NOT personal generosity Cliffy?
Well if you knew the bible then you'd know he actually did endorse the payment of taxes.
Secondly, this has nothing to do with promoting big government.
It has to do with using a PORTION of the voluminous amounts of money we already spend, towards doing some actual good and helping the poor and the sick, and the common working man.
And YOU are against that.
You're fighting against the idea of taking a portion of your tax dollars, and using them to help the poor and heal the sick, and to lighten the load for so many working Americans who can't get health care.
Which confirms without a doubt what you are.
BTW didn't Jesus also say,
ReplyDeleteGive to Caesar what is Caesars and give to God what is Gods,
Aren't taxes Caesar's realm?
Or does gods have a 1040 version he hasn't revealed to us yet.
Seems Jesus says to pay your taxes, and help the poor.

ReplyDeleteNo Worfy, much like I was telling Clif, in case you hadn't noticed medicare and medicaid are going BANKRUPT.
I'm fighting against ever increasing taxes to cover the ever increasing cost.
How much of my money do you need? How much is enough? Should I be able to keep HALF of what I earn?
A quarter of it? A quarter?
How much are YOU willing to pay?
Where does it stop?

Not be against it.
The word you're looking for is selfish.
ReplyDeleteStingy.
ReplyDeletePetty.
ReplyDeleteGreedy.
ReplyDeleteIt is so true, as G of W said:
ReplyDeleteIt's impossible to be against free Public Health Care, and to also be a Christian.
But they comb the bible for any justification for selfishness.
The weird thing is, they say they take the bible literally, yet the ONLY thing they leave out of their politics or religion are CHRIST'S ACTUAL WORDS, HIS COMMANDS AND HIS TEACHINGS!
They leave Christ out of Christianity.
The Church and its teachings are based on a flawed premise: duality. That evil exists, is as powerful as God, or good.
That's why they can't heal as Jesus commanded us to do.
Believing that man is a born sinner is a defeating proposition. In Genesis One (if you are going to get bliblical and religious) man is created in God's image.
In the Adam dream (the mortal dream sleep) he is, but all he has to do is wake up and step outside limitation and mortal thought.
Stop buying into the lie, the false picture. Why buy the second version?
Why not wake up and claim your power?
"BTW didn't Jesus also say,
ReplyDeleteGive to Caesar what is Caesars and give to God what is Gods,
Aren't taxes Caesar's realm?"
Yes indeed Clif. And how much do you think Caesar gave to the poor?
Was Jesus advocating giving to Caesar because he KNEW Caesar was such a good guy?

ReplyDeleteNo Worfy, much like I was telling Clif, in case you hadn't noticed medicare and medicaid are going BANKRUPT.
Well junior, they've been going bankrupt since they day they were founded.
That's just another right wing ploy to fool people into fighting against them.
The truth is every government agency is technically bankrupt every year.
Until congress appropriates new funding.
BTW Volty what your arguing against is the costs the private sector demand to treat the poor,
ReplyDeleteMuch more is spent on health care in the US then the rest of the industrialized world, but the QUALITY of care for the vast majority is not on par, which means the private sector is less efficient then other countries which involve their government to a much greater degree then the US.
BTW the VA system is consistently rated above the private sector, even William the bloody Kristal admitted that last night.
We have plenty of money to cover them.
ReplyDeleteWe just need to take the trillions we're throwing at petty military operations in the middle east and spend it on our own people for a change.

Give that a try for a while.
Seems the government is better at giving care to the poor and veterans then the private sector ever has been.
ReplyDeletecause the private sector can't do what the government does at the same cost,
and you are screeching about the costs.
your rants fail right there.
Oh yea I forgot, the aged also.
ReplyDeleteYou screech about costs but attack the most efficient and cost effective delivery system.
ReplyDeleteCognitive Dissonance thy name is voltron
Actually your defending the republican position of MAKING profits off the need for health care
ReplyDeleteNOT the best most efficient and cost effective way to deliver health care.

ReplyDeleteWas Jesus advocating giving to Caesar because he KNEW Caesar was such a good guy?
He was advocating the honoring of the laws of the land and the paying of taxes to the government.
And he knew Caesar wasn't a "good guy", and would not give a portion of the tax dollars to the poor.
And thank you for confirming that it is NOT a "good guy" who would withhold funds for the poor from tax funds.
You've just positioned yourself, on the side of Caesar.
The availability health care of citizens is usually directly proportional to the amount of money they have,
ReplyDeletewhere as Christ said that is wrong.
Your argument against rising costs always leave out the private FOR PROFIT sector is who is raising costs.
ReplyDeleteThe government doesn't wants costs to rise like the for profit Wall Street mega medical corps do.
So as usual you are being disingenuous, and have to twist the words of Jesus to make your RNC talking points argument.
ReplyDeleteDuncetron babbling like an IDIOT..........somethings NEVER change.
ReplyDeleteLets see, I have a choice.
ReplyDeleteI have to pay taxes anyway, so I could pay taxes and get free medical care in return,....or I could continue to use Voltrons "quality" system, and when a family member gets some life threatening disease, have the insurance company drop us shortly after diagnosis, incur hundreds of thousands of dollars or more in medical bills, lose my home, my cars, move into a shitty apartment on the west side of town, have my credit ruined, and have collection agencies garnish my wages for the next 75 years to pay back the medical bills.
Because according to folks like Voltron, THATS the American way!
:|
That's what the smart folks want.
You've been dishonest from day one Duncetron........from day one when you plagerized to today when you dishonestly tried to rewrite the bible for political gain.
ReplyDeleteVoltron wants what the RNC has openly admitted it wants.
ReplyDeleteTo kill any chance of any decent health care program being implemented by the democrats because they know if it happens they won't see the inside of the White House for the next 2 decades unless its on a tour.
That's what Voltron wants.
Look Voltron
ReplyDeleteI want Bush and Cheney to be tried for treason and war crimes......but I dont rewrite and hijack the bible for political gain.
I want Single Payer Health care but I dont rewrite and hijack the bible for political gain.
I want the super wealthy sand corprations to pay their fair share of taxes like I do but but I dont rewrite and hijack the bible for political gain.
I didnt support a treasonous war based on a pack of lies but but I dont rewrite and hijack the bible for political gain.
I didnt support our Constitution being torched and our freedoms, liberties and privacies being destroyed by a pack of treasonous Orwelian freedom hating jack booted megalomaniacs butbut I dont rewrite and hijack the bible for political gain.
Too bad what Voltron wants conflicts with the demands Jesus placed on us.
ReplyDeleteBoth as individuals and nations.
You wanna try to spew lies and reich wing propaganda to kill health care then you just picked a fight you cant win as usual little troll.

No Worfy, much like I was telling Clif, in case you hadn't noticed medicare and medicaid are going BANKRUPT.
I'm fighting against ever increasing taxes to cover the ever increasing cost."
Yeah thats what I was saying when you IDIOTS squandered TRILLIONS on a treasonous war based on a pack of lies.............BTW please enlighten me as to how spending TRILLIONS on YOUR WAR OF CHOICE helps the poor and middle class VS Health care reform.
Looks like duncetron CUT and RAN to widdle wills waste of bandwidth.

ReplyDelete"The Neoconservative Christian wants nothing to do with helping the poor or the sick. No sirree. Not with THEIR tax dollars you don't."
Really?
Ever think that just MAYBE it has more to do with someone else deciding they know better what to do with a persons hard earned money?
Am I being virtuous in Jesus eyes because I'm FORCED to give up my money under threat of prison?
How can I personally be generous when what I have is forcibly taken?
If the government is being virtuous by giving away everyone else's money will IT get into heaven?
Your religious argument is lacking on several fronts.
Not the least of which is that Jesus was talking about the personal grace of the INDIVIDUAL."
Look in the damn mirror Hippocritetron............do you gutless chickenhawks think you could have sold your TREASONOUS war of CHOICE based on a pack of right wing lies if you HAD TO DEPEND ON THE "PERSONAL GRACE OF THE INDIVIDUAL" rather than forcibly using American citizens tax dollars against their will and phony patriotism and fear mongering.
Oh and the following quote of YOURS is a PERFECT summary of the lasst 8 years when YOUR party was in power and ruled with an iron fist
Hippocritetron babbled "Secondly, this is about POLITCAL power for the party in charge. It has very little to do with "helping" anyone, and in the long run it will help NO ONE."
Va-voom. Dressing like a hooker is perfectly fine with me, Lydia.
ReplyDeletegreat post mike

Exactly
The war cost 3 trillion dollars. But all these blowhards can do is LIE outright and claim Obama is bankrupting the country by trying to do the moral thing, the RIGHT thing, the truly Christian thing.
ReplyDeleteNot to mention, the Bush administration drove us further into the Wall Street greed and banking and "credit-default swap" lending crisis..
yet Obama gets the blame for trying to help the PEOPLE??
Government IS the people.
