Nooooooo... That's a Hollywood actor... Nothing political intended or involved.... It's the head of the Screen actors guild.. :lol: :lol:
Here is an excerpt from an article showing the non political nature of the post...
"...In his first reply to reporter questions about the Reagan's use of astrology, and the story that he might actually have been picked as Vice President by an astrologer, Bush actually defended the practice. "I don't know about that," he said. "But I will tell you one thing: There are two edges to this sword. There are a helluva lot of people across this country that read these columns. Otherwise they would not be in the papers." Later after many more astrology questions, Bush then running for President himself, reconsidered his position declaring that he never read an astrology column and wouldn't know where to find one in a newspaper.

Astrology was only a part of Reagan's interest in things unseen. He was openly known to be very interested in anything occult including UFOs, lucky numbers, astrology, lucky coins, and ghosts. Even small things bothered Reagan such as a house that Reagan friends purchased for the Reagans at 666 St. Cloud in Bel Air, California. When Reagan found out the address, paperwork was immediately started to change the address to 668 St. Cloud. He was, according to Reagan's Deputy Chief of Staff Michael Deaver, "incurably superstitious. If he emptied his pants pockets you would always find about five good lucky charms that people had sent him...."

:lol: I minored in psyc & superstition was 1 of many 1 credit hr courses. If it were not true, it would be funny, but many people REALLY do believe in these irrational things. Our text was a book by Vyse on that subject; since then I have been reading books by Shermer & Randi. :lol: These are almost as entertaining as the Darwin Awards!

The best movies of the science fiction type from the 50's were the ones that were warnings of very real horrors. Example- the warning in, "The Day the Earth Stood Still. Everything the spokesman from the President said to Klaatu is just as true now as 57 years ago. Even more so i am sorry to say. When Klaatu left, he gave a warning that is still frightening true.

What? No mention of The Blob? The Day The Earth Stood Still? War of the Worlds? Blasphemers.

As much as I laughed myself red-faced at the remake of the blob, I thought the remake of THE THING, although it had only a few funny parts, was even funnier. :lol:
