A friend of mine called me from San Francisco where she is giving a presentation on “core values” at The Body Shop holiday meeting (she’s a franchise owner). The Body Shop is known for it’s values - from community trade to activism in-store.
The tone in her voice was off, in that way that you know something is just not right.
Turns out Anita died of a brain hemorrhage. What an incredible shock.
My friend asked me to do a little research about her life, gather some quotes and so forth. So I’m doing that now, just thinking about what the world has lost today. She has influenced me as a business person and as a human being and I’m quite positive that I’m not alone in that.
Thank you for making the world a better place Anita. Rest in peace.
At least back in the Full House and America’s Funniest Home Video days he was just a full-on insufferable idiot. Now he’s a full-on insufferable idiot that says “balls” and “my dick in your mouth” a lot and can’t even contain his own excited laughter long enough to execute his lame “dirty words get laughs” punch lines and for this he gets an HBO special?
If there is a representative for “American Humor” I’m afraid this man is it. And it makes me want to move to England. Who finds this funny, and does this demographic also plan on voting for Fred Thompson because hey, he has a cool red truck? Gah!
I’m sure that a lot of people write Mike Gravel off as an old kook, but I like this fucker more and more every time I listen to him.
Gut check time. Ok ... right ... so ... we bitch, we complain, we moan about the state of this country. We all do it, left and right alike. It’s because the power is in the hands of those that oppose our own interests. Whether it’s agriculture, education, the environment or health care - it comes down to “their interests oppose our own, but ‘they’ own our government so we’re fucked.”
What if somebody told you that WE THE PEOPLE should and could be in charge? That “money in politics” is the root of evil, corruption, and all that is broken in this country. That removing the money machine and putting the people in charge will bring this country back to it’s glory, as it was written.
