I once heard this story, and it is probably not true. That on his birthday Cary Grant got a telegram from a journalist (telegrams were short because you had to pay by the word)

telegram: How Old Cary Grant?

his answer: Old Cary Grant fine. How you?

again, it is probably not true.

That is a great story, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it were true.

and there’s the famous if also possibly apocryphal tale of cary being told by an interviewer that everyone would love to be cary grant. and cary replying ‘so would i’

i wish he had just once played a villain. he would’ve made a great one.

That’s 86,400 seconds of weirdness each day. That’s pretty weird.

Did Jeff really offer that tidbit about Cary Grant’s hallucinogenic tendencies only to disappear? Conspiracy theory anyone?

Why does everything we like (chocolate) have to have an ugly underbelly?… :(

Makes one cynical…

So this is why companies go overseas to do business? Our standards don’t apply there, but look the other way because hey… it’s cheap labor.

It’s unbelievable.

Lobbying strikes on behalf of “business” again…

Excerpt:

_But after intense lobbying by the cocoa industry, lawmakers weren’t able to push through a law. What they got was a voluntary protocol, signed by the heads of the chocolate industry, to stop the worst forms of child labor “as a matter of urgency.” One of the key goals was to certify the cocoa trade as child-labor free. _

“It was meant to achieve the end of child slave labor in cocoa fields,” Engel said.

It didn’t.

^ Yep. You don’t buy big-brand chocolate!

And this is the greatest technological advancement I have seen in my lifetime.

^ Weird. It looks very photoshopped. And something extra a portrait studio would do for a big sum.

I’d eliminate the kids.

Aside: Started Intruder the other day and it’s turning out well so far [only finished the second chapter so far, though.] However, I think it could’ve used an editor, ‘cause I wouldn’t expect this many colons outside of a proctologist’s office.

Lawyer for cocoa industry: Those are not children working in the cocoa fields. They are Oomp Loompa’s.

What’s funny is that you had to specify what part you made the fart noise with.

LOL Newt Gingrich.

He says the best philosophy to deal with America’s enemies is to kill them.

Does that mean we can kill him?

I was watching the Daily Show when they showed the clip and I couldn’t believe I saw and heard.

I can name numerous examples of “great leaders” who had the same philosophy.
