Dale Petroskey, President of the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, deserves our thanks and support for bouncing Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins from their April 27 gig there. Roger Kahn (baseball's most overated, self-righteous, and self-important author) has cancelled an August appearance in protest. The AP and various editorial writers are in similar high dudgeon. Email your words of support to the Hall's PR Director Jeff Idelson. His address is: jidelson@baseballhalloffame.org. Thanks.

Baseball Hall snubs celebrities By Tom Grace Cooperstown News Bureau COOPERSTOWN - The National Baseball Hall of Fame has canceled an appearance by Academy Award winning actress Susan Sarandon and her longtime companion, actor and director Tim Robbins because they've spoken out against attacking Iraq. Sarandon and Robbins, co-stars along with Kevin Costner in the 1988 film, "Bull Durham," had been scheduled to discuss the movie, a comic look at life in the minor leagues, at the Hall of Fame on April 25 and 26. Also slated to be there were NBC movie critic Jeffrey Lyon, "Bull Durham" director Ron...

Guests at [PBS humorist] Mark Russell's annual St. Patrick's Day house party were charmed Sunday by 79 year old Lenora Tomalin, a feisty supporter of President Bush and his take no prisoners stance toward Iraq's Saddam Hussein.But they were shocked when Tomalin identified herself-to the likes of Tim Russert, Chris Matthews, Joe DiGenova and Victoria Toensing-as the mother of Susan Sarandon. That Susan Sarandon- who has been leading the charge of the Hollywood left against Bush and pending military action (and claiming it will simply further American imperial designs and appropriate Iraqi oil) and who shares 3 of Tomalin's 19...

...When Martin Sheen, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon and Barbra Streisand speak about the Iraqi people, they are not speaking about people like me, who are Shiite Muslims -- the largest religious group in Iraq that is nonetheless forced to live as second-class citizens under the Sunni regime of Hussein and his Baath Party. When I was 10, I fled Iraq with my mother and four siblings after the failure of the 1991 uprising against Hussein....When Iraq is finally liberated, these actors will learn that they have never spoken for the people of Iraq.

During an emergency State of the Union address this morning, President Bush declared war on Hollywood. The move comes as no surprise, based on the relentless attack from Hollywood terrorist sleeper cells against America and capitalism over the past few weeks. President Bush stated that “we will smoke them out of their mansions, get them running, and bring them to justice.” He continued by saying “make no mistake, we will win this war on the evil Hollywood anti-Americans. Good triumphs over evil. Truth over hypocrisy.” Experts say that the President’s hand was forced by the never-ending attacks of Hollywood liberals,...

It was reported over the weekend that actor George Clooney has stepped up his criticism of the Bush administration's policy toward Iraq. Apparently, he gave an interview to a German television program in which he repeatedly voiced his opposition to using military intervention with Iraq and claimed that this would only make matters worse. He made brilliant statements like "You can't beat your enemy anymore through wars; instead you create an entire generation of people revenge-seeking." After reading Clooney's profound statements from this interview, how could anyone support military action against Iraq? While military experts, CIA operatives, foreign policy experts...

Comedian, actor and author Dennis Miller appeared on the Feb. 12 ‘Donahue’, ready to debate the MSNBC talk show host on the conflict with Iraq, and to voice his support for President George W. Bush. Click below for more. STARTING ON A congenial note, Miller applauded Donahue: “I’ve always wanted to do a television show with you because you’re (Phil) Donahue. So this means something to me.” But then Miller went on to say that “we could probably not be more diametrically opposed.” Miller offered comments on the war and and he took liberals to task for not seeing evil...

Sarandon, Garofalo, Mandela – McCarthyism of the Left By Orson Scott Card Susan Sarandon, Janeane Garofalo, and Nelson Mandela – what a crew. This week all three unleashed savage attacks against President George W. Bush and his policy on Iraq, attacks that remind me of nothing so much as the wild and false charges leveled by Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s. Nelson Mandela is a genuine hero, a statesman. He is one of the few revolutionaries to achieve power and then govern responsibly, for the benefit of all the people. Sarandon and Garofalo are, of course, not in that category....

Say “No” To Hollywood Have you had enough from the mouths of the Hollywood elite? Tired of the Bush-bashing? The anti-Americanism? The cruelty that comes out of the mouths of some of these “stars”? It’s time to send a message to Hollywood. And the message is: We’re not going to take it anymore. Hollywood has always had its share of politically active pundits, but lately, probably due to the repugnant nature of the remarks made, they have drawn increased media attention. Most recently it was Ed Harris with his anti-Bush remarks: “ Being a man, I've got to say that...
