So, I go to the Winstream home page and behold this headline: "Lohan Looks Just Like Liz." Um, yeah, I guess. If you're on heavy enough drugs.
In fact, the bone-skinny starlets of today do not in any way, shape (especially shape), or form look like starlets of the past, because in the past women were allowed to eat. The starved look had yet to debut in movies and on TV. Lohan looks like Liz as much as I look like Bob Denver (Gilligan).
Aren't you glad I cleared that up?
Meanwhile, a study featured in Free Inquiry, the journal of the Council for Secular Humanism (sounds official, don't it?), asserts that churches, on average, don't meet the requirements for nonprofit status and ought to be taxed as "for-profit corporations providing entertainment." Even congregations are to be taxed at corporate rates, they suggest. Wow. I knew the Supreme Court considered corporations people, but I had no idea anyone considered people to be corporations. Strange planet we reside upon.
I suspect, though, that the authors will insist they're merely raising questions (and/or merely providing data on which to base questions), as opposed to making claims of their own, but the "We're just collecting data" excuse got old ages ago. If you wish, you can read my sensible, compelling, and rational critique here: Hey, Guys, Do Some Research. Fans of FI are welcome to take offense!

Totally agreed. The first article I spotted a week ago gushing that Lindsay seemed to be channeling Liz and looking like Liz...made me a little crazy. Then I remembered how the media portrays things the way they want to in order to control the malleable mush brains of those who pay attention, and I had a good laugh. I look at photos of Rita Hayworth and Marilyn and all the beautiful real women of the past with remorse for what Hollywood women are now. The difference was a natural beauty that can really still take your breath away for a moment. No botox or Photoshop necessary.
In total agreement, Bob...I mean, Lee...
