This is my little corner of the web, where I can speak my mind. Think what I will and not give a rat's ass what anyone else thinks. So this may be a political blog. Or a personal one. I'll make up my mind on which it will be, whenever I get the urge to post...

One thing that just pisses me off...
Big mouth actors need to shut up and act. Please do us all a favor and don't speak out until you understand what it is you are complaining about. Do your due diligence. Research what the candidates actually said and what they really stand for.
Soooo, Connie Britton, another obscure middle aged actress (New series Nashville) wrote an op ed in some irrelevant magazine, (I think she is looking to keep herself relevant in the Hollywood that mostly dismisses older women,) is ripping Mitt Romney because of his liking for a saying. Who is she? Who is listening to her? Sorry to all these actors out there who think many of their fans may want to hear their mouths flapping about politics, we really don't.
I don't care about your political affiliations. I pay to see you act. That's it. And one by one, your political activism, snide remarks, and demeaning of others, (mostly us conservatives,) without a real knowledge of the situation most underpaid women really live in, pisses me off to no end.
So once again, here I am adding another actor, Miss Britton, in this case, to the ever lengthening list of actors and actresses I no longer watch regardless of the film or TV show they are in. I find most of them to be uninformed and in some cases, so offensive to my conservative self.
I think it is ironic how many of these "informed" women get so upset about Candidate Romney's political positions, when they are actually living with the most blatant pay and sexual discrimination imaginable. They know if they complain, NO ONE will hire them. They will be labeled as "difficult to work with," or they will be black listed and unable to find work in the industry.
This part of our society, Hollywood, is infamous for its demeaning portrayal of women. It is a place where most women have to be young, with man made boobs, butts and faces in order to be hired just to take most of their clothes off to make a living.
And by the way, most of these female actors who are so offended by Romney and his stand on the Lily Ledbetter Act, are hired, ins many cases, for less than half the amount "the Hollywood establishment" pays many of the males in the same industry.
How hypocritical of them to bitch about the "underpaid women" when they can't even get the same money the guys get for working in the same movie as the other lead. Hollywood, where the view of a penis is given an X rating, while a view of breasts is given a PG or R rating.
Okay ladies in Hollywood, pull your heads out of your asses. When you get equal pay for your job, maybe the rest of us under paid peons out in the real world will get paid as men are paid. After all you know how the rest of the country follows, with bated breath, the shining example you Hollywood types set for us all. ..
