Commentary

who’s a racist?

By Cal Thomas MSNBC’s Ed Schultz program Friday night, the former chief of staff for Colin Powell, retired Army Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, said, of the Republican Party, “My party is full of racists ... and the real reason a considerable portion of my party wants President Obama out of the White House has nothing to do with the content of his character, nothing to do with his competence as

commander in chief and president, and everything to do with the color of his skin ... that’s despicable.”

Wilkerson’s allegation followed his former boss’s endorsement of President Obama for a second term.

The history of racism has certainly stained both parties and there are racist Democrats and racist Republicans, but when the race card is played this close to the election, I suspect the proObama forces are sensing trouble.

We’ve come a long way in four years, from a transracial candidate who didn’t see a white or black America, but one America, to one in which if a white person votes for Mitt Romney

that is evidence the voter is a racist.

Suppose that white person voted for Obama four years ago and thinks the president doesn’t deserve a second term because he’s done a poor job?

Was the person not a racist in 2008, but morphed into one in 2012?

When white liberals voted against the confirmation of Justice Clarence Thomas (including then-Senator Joe Biden) were they racist? Many white liberal Democrats are working overtime to defeat Rep. Allen West, Florida Republican. Are they racist?

Let’s reverse the polarity. According to a recent NBC/WSJ poll, 90 percent of African-Americans are expected to vote for the president. For those who will do so solely to demonstrate racial solidarity, does this qualify them to be inducted into the racist hall of shame? And what about conservative blacks who are voting for

PROVIDING PROFESSIONAL FAMILY & COSMETIC DENTISTRY FOR OVER 20 YEARS 4 November 1, 2012 THE MILITARY PRESS

Retired Army Col. Lawrence Wilkerson Romney? They’re called disparaging names by some blacks. Is that racism?

Mia Love, the mayor of Saratoga Springs, Utah, is running for Congress. She is an African-American woman and a Republican. If white Democrats oppose her, are they guilty of a twofer: racism and sexism?

While I didn’t vote for Barack Obama in 2008 (and won’t this time) because of his extreme liberalism, not his skin color, I was still proud of my country for electing the first AfricanAmerican president. If a qualified conservative African-American had been running, I would have voted for him (or her). That fulfills the wish of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., that all people be judged on their character, not their skin color.

I endorsed the nonviolent protests of Dr. King to advance civil rights, but opposed the incendiary rhetoric of Malcolm X, Stokely Carmichael, the Black Panther Party and other black revolutionaries of the 1960s. Was I not a racist when I supported Dr. King, but racist when I opposed black radicals? How does one judge such things?

Where’s the racist detector and who gets to operate it?

A Washington Post-ABC News tracking poll concluded that “The 2012 election is shaping up to be more polarized along racial lines than any presidential contest since 1988, with President Obama experiencing a steep drop in support among white voters from four years ago.”

The Post-ABC News pollsters, who appear to see so much through racially-colored glasses, might have asked some of those white voters who supported President Obama four years ago why they are supporting Mitt Romney now. I would be willing to wager most, if not all, would say the president’s performance has not lived up to their expectations or his hype about hope and change.

For supporters of President Obama, including Republican-in-name-only Lawrence Wilkerson, to suggest that Republicans want him out of the White House simply because he’s black, is a desperate attempt by a faltering campaign to change the subject from the president’s record and lack of vision for the future.

That isn’t racist. That’s fact.

Semper Fi

Marine Corps Birthday On November 10, 1775, the Second Continental Congress meeting in Philadelphia passed a resolution stating that “two Battalions of Marines be raised” for service as landing forces with the fleet. This resolution established the Continental Marines and marked the birth date of the United States Marine Corps. Serving on land and at sea, these first Marines distinguished themselves in a number of important operations, including their first amphibious raid into the Bahamas in March 1776, under the command of Captain (later Major) Samuel Nicholas.

The first commissioned officer in the Continental Marines, Nicholas remained the senior Marine officer throughout the American Revolution and is considered to be the first Marine Commandant. The Treaty of Paris in April 1783 brought an end to the Revolutionary War and as the last of the Navy’s ships were sold, the Continental Navy and Marines went out of existence.

‘No Such Thing as an Ex-Marine’ Following the Revolutionary War and the formal re-establishment of the Marine Corps on 11 July 1798, Marines saw action in the quasi-war with France, landed in Santo Domingo, and took part in many operations against the Barbary pirates along the “Shores of Tripoli.”

Marines took part in numerous naval operations during the War of 1812, as well as participating in the defense of Washington at Bladensburg, Maryland, and fought alongside Andrew Jackson in the defeat of the British at New Orleans.

The decades following the War of 1812 saw the Marines protecting American interests around the world, in the Caribbean, at the Falkland Islands, Sumatra and off the coast of West Africa, and also close to home in operations against the Seminole Indians in Florida.

George Washington received his appointment as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army the next day, and formally took command at Boston on July 3, 1775.

Commentary

Eliminating GOD Continued from page 3

As you read this, 50 translators are politically correcting the word of God. Yes the German Evangelical Church is currently retranslating the Bible into a more inclusive and sensitive gender-neutral edition.

Apparently certain passages have been deemed offensive to women and are currently being re-written to be less discriminatory and more inclusive.

Specifically, the word disciple is being changed to disciples and disciplesses and references to “Lord” and “Our Father” are being nixed as well.

This process of re-writing God’s word is supposed to take about a year.

Now these folks must have some real guts, if no brains it seems. After all, they are basically telling God they are better writers than He is. For their sake, let us hope they have lightning insurance.

This story of course should surprise none of us, though. In recent years, those who would have us all walk on egg shells so as not to possibly offend anyone at anytime have been on a steady campaign which has targeted just about everything.

Cartoons like “Mr. Magoo” have been attacked as offensive to blind people. Schools named for historical figures such as Robert E. Lee, George Washington, Jefferson Davis, and Thomas Jefferson have been forced to change their names. Sports teams with such nicknames as Warriors, Braves, Indians, and Minutemen have been called racist and many have changed their monikers.

Of course, certain behaviors have also come under fire as well. Smoking is now seen as the ultimate

6 November 1, 2012 THE MILITARY PRESS

evil in the world to many. Eating meat is also taboo thanks to our politically correct friends. And fast food is now being targeted for the same types of ridiculous lawsuits that targeted tobacco. SUV’s and their drivers are now bad as well because they use too much gas and are too big. And surely no behavior

has gotten as much bad press as gun owning. Anyone daring to own a gun is painted as a bloodthirsty nut that is likely to kill anyone who crosses him.

Students in our schools are now prevented from laughing at certain jokes or playing cops and robbers or tag or dodge ball. Zero-tolerance policies regularly penalize children for nothing more than being children. College newspapers, which are deemed insensitive or offensive, are banned or stolen, and Conservative clubs are demonized relentlessly on America’s campuses.

The Founding Fathers are also on this list of unwelcome influences in our more politically correct world. The flags of the Confederacy and the United States are also prominent on this list.

Groups like the Boy Scouts have become public enemy number one because they dare to teach traditional values to young men. And of course any public display of a belief in Jesus or Christianity has become an unforgivable sin.

And now the Bible is under attack. The Bible is the word of God. To hundreds of millions of people it is the bread of life. It is how we decipher right from wrong. Yet even this holy book is not safe from the political correctors of the world.

One must ponder exactly what they hope to accomplish. Simply put, their ultimate goal is to redefine every aspect of what is offensive and what is acceptable until their ideology is adopted as de facto law.

Be it through indoctrination or intimidation,

Commentary they will not stop until only their ideology is heard and accepted everywhere. In our world today, there is a war between secularism and traditional religious values.

Particularly in America is this true today.

This effort to re-write the Bible will eventually find it’s way to our nation as well. The reasons for trying to make the Bible more gender-neutral might seem unclear at first. They might even seem justified to some of us. After this entire endeavor is being done under the guise of making the Bible less offensive and sexist. And surely this is a worthwhile goal right?

The goal though is very different than being more sensitive and inclusive. Consider this: the Bible is conside-

red by believers to be the absolute truth and the Word of God. If these believers are correct, then certainly no editing of the bible is justified or needed.

If, however, the Bible can be re-written and altered, then the words in the book are just that, words. Rewriting the Bible is more about taking away its meaning, and stripping away it’s authority over morality.

Take away the Bible as an absolute, then the importance of the Bible is lessened. Thus the importance of God is lessened. Only when that is accomplished can the political correctors take the place they desire. God’s place.

Over 30 Years experience

I wanted to write a story about politically correct people trying to eliminate God from America. In my research this column by Doug Hagin touched the essence of my thoughts.

Supporting Our Veterans

Continued from page 3

Women of A&E’s “Gene Simmons Family Jewels” Pose in Vets Calendar Shannon Tweed-Simmons, Sophie Tweed-Simmons, and Tracy Tweed don 1940’s fashions to model in the award-winning “Pin-Ups For Vets” calendar that will help support hospitalized Veterans and deployed Troops in 2013.

Gene Simmons, entrepreneur, actor, bassist, and singersongwriter from the rock band, KISS has always shown love and support of the United States Military through his visits to entertain the troops, his visits to Veterans Hospitals, his donations to help Wounded Warriors, and through his hiring of Veterans.

However, in the upcoming months, it is Gene Simmon’s wife, daughter, and sister-in-law who will be in the spotlight for steping up to help America’s heroes, as their vintage-style pho-

tos appear in the popular 7th annual “Pin-

Ups For Vets”calendar that will be sold to raise funds that will help to support America’s ill and injured Veterans in VA Hospitals and those troops deployed across the globe.

“Pin-Ups For Vets” Founder and model Gina Elise, who is in the middle of a 50-state VA Hospital Tour, invited Gene and Shannon to join her on her visit to California’s Long Beach VA

Hospital. As they made their rounds of the hospital wards to thank and deliver the “Pin-Ups For Vets” calendars and “Kiss A Vet” T-shirts

donated by the nonprofit organization’s supporters, many of the Veterans asked Shannon if she was in the 2012 calendar.

That was just the inspiration Shannon needed to do a photo shoot with her daughter and sister for the upcoming 2013 “Pin-Ups For Vets” fundraiser calendar, that is shipped to Veterans,

troops, and civilians across the globe.

The Tweed-Simmons ladies showed up ready to “rock and roll” for a fun vintage-style photo shoot at Siren Studios in Hollywood, California. “PinUps For Vets” Founder and model, Gina Elise, was there to lend her expertise to help pose the ladies, as acclaimed photographer, Austin Young, captured gorgeous photos of the Tweed-Simmons trio.

The 2013 “Pin-Ups For Vets” calendar is now ready for orders and can be purchased for oneself, donated to a hospitalized Veteran or to a deployed service member. Calendars are $10.00 each and are a tax-deductible purchase. Veterans, troop supporters, pin-up fans, and fans of the calendar’s featured celebrities can visit the “Pin-Ups For Vets” website at www.PinUpsForVets.com and go to the “Order Now” page to order the popular 2013 calendars. Website visitors can also learn more about this project, honored with many community service awards, and also honored by Oprah Winfrey and the deployed troops. Funds raised by the organization have helped VA Hospitals purchase needed equipment.

Two hundred and thirty seven years of the most loyal, feared, revered, and professional fighting force the world has ever known.

True Crime – 1949

LOVE Your Face LOVE Your Body LOVE Your Life

The Jean Spangler Mystery Jean Spangler was an actress during the golden age of Hollywood. She mysteriously disappeared one day in October 1949 when she set off to meet her ex-husband to discuss child support. She was 26 years old.

Her purse appeared two days later, untouched and exactly as cashless as it had been (she didn’t carry money — the investigation ruled out robbery).

The only thing inside was a cryptic note: “Kirk: Can’t wait any longer. Going to see Dr. Scott. It will work best this way while mother is away.”

Hollywood actress Jean Spangler’s purse and the note inside was found in Griffith Park two days later after her mysterious disappearance in October 1949.

Be their hero.

ACTIVE DUTY? Keep Serving in the California National Guard There are openings statewide for prior service personnel in both Officer and Enlisted Ranks

Ladies, hopefully by now everyone is prepped for the Marine Corps Birthday Ball aka our Hollywood Red Carpet event. MAC Cosmetics should have a customer rewards program because the products are calling my name every big social event. Whether you are attending your first or fifteenth Marine Corps Ball enjoy reading below.

Before You Go:

DON’T: Listen to Cinderella. She was crazy to wear those shoes. Wear something comfortable. You may be standing before, during & after cocktail hour, or walk 100+ yards to do your pictures so if you can’t walk a marathon in 6 inch heels reconsider those stilettos.

DO: If you can afford to splurge on hair, makeup & nails do, if you don’t ask a friend or neighbor to do it for you. It’s worth it!

DON’T: Wear animal print, see through, a potential nip slip dress, wedding dress, too tight dress or high slits. If you do you may be asked to leave and at the bare minimum possibly put negative spotlight on your husband or boyfriend.

DON’T: Wear a short dress. This

of the Corps is a formal event and even if you’re a short girl or think you look good in short dresses. Don’t! It’s not 1776 yet the guys wear their most formal attire with the history and traditions that men who fought and died for this country originated so a mini-skirt or cocktail dress is more than disrespectful.

At the Ball:

DON’T: Get drunk & tell a commanding officer he’s “fun-sized” or flip off the camera, yes it has been done.

DO: Show up on time. Map out your route before you go so you’re not late even if you do get lost. You should be there with enough time to grab a drink, mingle and hit the bathroom if needed before the ceremony.

DO: Be polite & expect to socialize. You may be ‘voluntold’ to socialize with women who may or may not be your husbands’ boss so remember now is not the time for politics, mili-

The Honor Flight San Diego float entry in the San Diego County Veterans Day Parade is an Old Town Trolley car outfitted with a patriot flair honoring WWII Veteran Heroes. The float will be driven by Bill, a Navy Veteran and employee of Old Town Trolley. Bill has been a resident of San Diego since 1971 and a Trolley employee for 5-1/2 years. Old Town Trolley donated Trolley #111 as the official Honor Flight San Diego float.

Bill’s passengers aboard the float are World War ll Veteran Heroes and five Honorary Corpsmen. The Corpsmen will be there to take care of our heroes’ needs during their adventure in the parade.

The top of the trolley will be festooned with 50 American flags honoring Veterans from each of our United States. The presentation of the Commemorative Flag arrangement was designed and built by Dave Tofte, past Commander of All American VFW Post 3787 in San Diego’s Mission Valley. American flags were donated by All Kings Flags in San Diego’s Old Town, www.allkingsflags.com. Graphics depicting WWll scenes on the float were designed by Tony Montemarano, www.anthonymgraphics.com.

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, the Armistice was signed and World War I ended. Now, we continue to celebrate the holiday, at the same time every year, in honor of all veterans of war.

Because Veterans Day is a federal holiday, most businesses will be closed, including schools.

Take the time off and use it to honor the men and women who have fought and continue to fight for us and our freedom.

AWESOME movies about veterans maimed in combat. Russell, an amateur actor who really did lose both of his hands in the war, earned an honorary Oscar for ‘’bringing hope and courage to his fellow veterans,’’ then beat the competition to win the Best Supporting Actor Oscar, making him the only performer to win two Academy Awards for the same performance.

Marine husband (Bruce Dern) returns from combat, he has his own psychic and physical scars to cope with, along with his wife’s infidelity. Fonda, of course, had been notorious for her offscreen opposition to the war, but she commissioned the screenplay and surprised everyone by making a film that wasn’t so much antiwar as proveteran.

The Best Years of Our Lives (1946)

William Wyler’s moving saga of the postwar lives of three World War II vets was a boldly frank film for 1946 (when it earned an Academy Award for Best Picture), and it remains the definitive film about veterans readjusting to civilian life. Al (Best Actor Oscar winner Fredric March, shown) comes home to a loving wife (Myrna Loy), but he feels estranged from his grown children and his job (in a bank that regards his fellow vets as figures on a balance sheet), so he turns to drink. Fred (Dana Andrews) finds his wartime heroism as a bomber pilot doesn’t count for much when he’s trying to find work or impress the war bride (Virginia Mayo) he barely knows. And Homer (Harold Russell) feels like damaged goods, having been

notorious Russian roulette sequence.

Mike returns home relatively unscathed, but Steven comes back a selfpitying paraplegic, while the tragic Nick doesn’t come back at all, remaining in Saigon and ritualistically reenacting his torture for money. The film’s Vietnam sequences are hyperbolically surreal, but its meditation on survivor’s guilt and a generation’s loss of innocence is genuine. The movie is credited with inspiring the drive to build the Vietnam War memorial on the Washington Mall.

Coming Home (1978)

Jon Voight (shown, with Jane Fonda) won an Oscar for his role as Luke, a paraplegic Vietnam vet (modeled on Ron Kovic of Born on the Fourth of July fame) who overcomes his bitterness when he meets veterans’ hospital volunteer Sally (Fonda, who also won an Oscar). As their friendship blossoms into an affair, Luke learns that he can still have a romantic and sexual life, as the film demonstrates in a famously tender and frank love scene.

Alas, Sally is married, and when her

The Deer Hunter (1978)

This harrowing Best Picture Oscar winner examines the devastating impact of the Vietnam War on an entire community. Small-town buddies Mike (Robert De Niro, shown with John Savage), Steven (Savage), and Nick (Christopher Walken, in his Oscarwinning performance) are captured together and brutalized in the movie’s

Born on the Fourth of July (1989)

the use of his legs. Back home, he sinks into self-pity and debauchery until, emerging from his funk, he channels his frustration into activism and becomes a prominent antiwar protester.

It would be a lot harder for viewers to go along on this angry journey of disillusionment were it not for Stone’s canny casting of Top Gun Tom. Performing against type, Cruise earned himself an Oscar nomination.

The Manchurian Candidate (2004) It’s Always Fair Weather (1955)

For a classic MGM musical that includes a dazzling number in which Gene Kelly (shown, left with Dan Dailey, Michael Kidd, and Dolores Gray) dances in roller skates, this is a surprisingly grim tale. Wartime buddies Kelly, Dailey, and Kidd reunite 10 years after coming home from World War II, only to realize that they don’t really like each other anymore and have nothing in common but their service memories and their disillusionment at how they’ve each failed to live up to their dreams. All is ultimately resolved through the magic of well-

STOPS SHORTER

Lots of veterans return home with post-traumatic stress disorder, but what if the nightmares they tried to suppress were artificially implanted?

In the original 1962 version of the film, Korean War vets Frank Sinatra and Laurence Harvey come to realize they were brainwashed by Communists; in Jonathan Demme’s even more paranoid remake, Gulf War vets Denzel Washington (shown, left with Jeffrey Wright), Liev Schreiber, and Wright are victimized by America’s own military-industrial complex. All three give haunting performances; you don’t have to buy the conspiratorial sci-fi aspect to appreciate the film’s depiction of these soldiers as pawns manipulated and transformed into ticking time bombs by untouchable masters of war.

HOUSING There’s still time to buy a new home this year, and move in before the holidays, at Pardee Homes’ Canyon Hills master planned community. Nestled among scenic rolling hills and preserved open space in Lake Elsinore, are three new home neighborhoods by Pardee with ‘buy today/move-in this year’ availability.

“With interest rates still at historic lows, and the end of 2012 in sight, it couldn’t be better time to finally make that move to a new, energy-efficient home,” said Matt Sauls, director of marketing for Pardee Homes. “As the master developer of Canyon Hills, we’ve made sure we have a varied inventory of new homes available for this fall’s selling season. Our three new home neighborhoods in Lake Elsinore include both one- and two-story homes ready to close escrow before the end of this year, all with energy-saving features, and floor plans designed to suit the needs of growing families with children, first-time buyers and even empty-nesters. We are currently offering up to 3% financing incentives on our move-in ready homes.”

Plan 4AR (Lot 48) at Pardee’s LivingSmart® Homes Hillside is scheduled to be ready for move-in this December. This beautiful new two-story home has four bedrooms, three baths and approximately 2,256 square feet. It is priced at $264,750.

LivingSmart® Homes Canyon Hills includes six floor plans with a range of three to seven bedrooms, two to four baths, two and three-bay garages and approximately 1,132 to 3,099 square feet. Ingenious touches such as gour-

met kitchens with slab granite and stainless steel appliances are complemented by a host of room options such as media niches, extra bedrooms, fireplaces, garage workshops, master bedroom decks and a four-bay garage in

select plans.

“We have some great home sites available right now, including Plan 4AR on Lot 360 with four bedrooms, two baths, and approximately 1,900 square feet,” said Sauls. “This beautiful single-story home is on a cul-desac and includes granite kitchen countertops and upgraded flooring. It is priced to sell at $246,950.”

Spanish, Traditional, French and Italian architectural styles are accented with shutter and iron accents and water-friendly, front-yard landscaping is included. Distinctive interiors include slab granite kitchen countertops, General Electric® stainless steel finish appliances, a convenient storage pantry in the kitchen and large walkin closets in the master bedroom suite.

For more information, visit www. pardeehomes.com or call (951) 2640127. To tour the models at Canyon Hills, exit I-15 at Railroad Canyon Road in Lake Elsinore and go east approximately 2.5 miles. Turn right on Canyon Hills Road and follow the signs.

HOUSING From Military.com In order to obtain a VA home loan, you must first fill out VA Form 26-1880, the request for your Certificate of Eligibility. This certificate is issued only through the Veterans Administration, and is the first step towards applying for your loan. Veterans, active duty, guard or reserve, and military spouses potentially qualify for this certificate.

Keep in mind that the Certificate of Eligibility, while necessary, only allows an eligible individual to apply for a home loan; it does not guarantee a loan approval.

Eligibility for the Certificate is based on an individual’s (or a spouse’s) military service. Congress establishes eligibility with strict guidelines. Here are five common categories of those who normally qualify for a Certificate of Eligibility: Wartime - Service During: WWII: 9/16/1940 to 7/25/1947 Korean: 6/27/1950 to 1/31/1955 Vietnam: 8/5/1964 to 5/7/1975 You must have at least 90 days on active duty and been discharged under other than dishonorable conditions. If you served less than 90 days,

you may be eligible if discharged for a service connected disability.

Peacetime - Service during periods: 7/26/1947 to 6/26/1950 2/1/1955 to 8/4/1964 5/8/1975 to 9/7/1980 (Enlisted) 5/8/1975 to 10/16/1981 (Officer) You must have served at least 181 days of continuous active duty and been discharged under other than dishonorable conditions. If you served less than 181 days, you may be eligible if discharged for a service connected disability.

THE BREEDERS’ CUP

It’s the Breeders’ Cup, a racing spectacular that carries an old prestige, a prestige that seemingly extends back beyond its three decades as an event. It’s happening on Friday, Nov. 2 and Saturday, Nov. 3 at the Arcadia

can tracks over its lifetime. (All but one are in the U.S., and it was last in Southern California in 2009.)

So, what’s on the racing form? Fifteen distinct competitions, including Juvenile Fillies Turf, Dirt Mile, Filly

Off the track, it’s old-style swank, with viewers arriving in seersucker suits and flower-bedecked hats. Are they gussying up just for the races? Au contraire; Breeders’ Cup regularly attracts celebrities and horse fans looking to raise a glass of something sparkling. landmark, and if you’re thinking to yourself, I don’t remember that from last year around this time, or the year before, you’re not wrong; the event has visited a number of North Ameri-

& Mare Turf, and Turf Sprint. The horses lined up to run the Classic, which is the final race of the Cup, include Royal Delta, Handsome Mike, and Flat Out.

Off the track? It’s old-style swank, with viewers arriving in seersucker suits and flower-bedecked hats. Are they gussying up just for the races? Au contraire; Breeders’ Cup regularly attracts celebrities and horse fans looking to raise a flute of something sparkling. Translation: There are parties heading up to the Cup itself, and some Seabiscuit-themed tours on either side of the main two days.

No worries if you’re without fancy track wear; just know the sartorial stakes are raised when the Breeders’ rolls into town.

General admission tickets start at $15 for Friday, but, as expected with an event of this size, there are a number of levels.

Be their hero.

LA’s saviors

T

he city of Los Angeles not only expects its new-look Lakers to win an NBA title this season, it also predicts that Steve Nash, Dwight Howard, Pau Gasol, Metta World Peace and Kobe Bryant will revive the local economy, fix the school system, speed up the 405 freeway expansion and low-

er gas prices by 40 cents per gallon.

And that’s just in the first year.

The pressure is on, and the Lakers responded by going 0-8 in the preseason. The games don’t count, but in Hollywood, perception is reality and the perception today is that Mike Brown’s team has a whole lot of stars

seemingly playing on different planets.

Don’t worry, be happy, say the players. The Lakers will be fine, says Brown (via Eric Pincus of the Los Angeles Times), who most certainly is on the

hot seat if his team can’t get past the second round of the playoffs this year.

“What we’re doing right now isn’t necessarily to win the games now or in the short term,” Brown told Pincus after the team lost to the Los Angeles Clippers Wednesday night. “Hopefully what we’re doing will pay off in the long term when it really counts.”

Sorry, but don’t the games in November count the same as ones in February or March? A win is a win, regardless of when you get it. To say your team doesn’t necessarily look to win games early in the year sounds a bit out of touch.

But from all the smiles and laughter, one might think the Lakers went 8-0 in October. Nash and Howard grace the cover of Sports Illustrated’s NBA Preview edition this week, flanking a headline of “Now This is Going to be Fun”.

So far, not so much. The team looks disorganized and out of sync. Haven’t we seen this picture before? Blame it on the Princeton and new combinations of new players, say the coaches.

So expect the unexpected in 201213 from the Lakers. This is a team that, on paper, looks like a powerhouse. How will it look on the court come playoff time next spring?

Will Howard and Nash still be smiling?

ALLSTATE

VALUE

PLAN

A. Shut up.

Sometime this year, we taxpayers will again receive another ‘Economic Stimulus’ payment.

This is indeed a very exciting program, and I’ll explain it by using a Q & A format: Q. What is an ‘Economic Stimulus’ payment?

A. It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers.

Q. Where will the government get this money ?

A. From taxpayers.

Q. So the government is giving me back my own money?

A. Only a smidgen of it.

Q. What is the purpose of this payment ?

A. The plan is for you to use the money to purchase a high-definition TV set, thus stimulating the economy.

Q. But isn’t that stimulating the economy of China ?

Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the U.S. Economy by spending your stimulus check wisely: * If you spend the stimulus money at Wal-Mart, the money will go to China or Sri Lanka. * If you spend it on gasoline, your money will go to the Arabs. * If you purchase a computer, it will go to India, Taiwan or China. * If you purchase fruit and vegetables, it will go to Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala. * If you buy an efficient car, it will go to Japan or Korea. * If you purchase useless stuff, it will go to Taiwan. * If you pay your credit cards off, or buy stock, it will go to management bonuses and they will hide it offshore.

Instead, keep the money America by: 1) Spending it at yard sales, or 2) Going to ball games, or

WITH A VALUABLE AGENT I can help you save big time.

3) Spending it on prostitutes, or 4) Beer or 5) Tattoos.

(These are the only American businesses still operating in the U.S. ) Conclusion: Go to a ball game with a tattooed prostitute that you met at a yard sale and drink beer all day !

Forget Lincoln... how about the tragic saga of President James Garfield as a major motion picture?

By Liz Smith I was thinking just recently of a book I’ve read that should be made into a movie. And seeing trailers for Steven Spielberg’s “Lincoln,” it has been pressing on my mind.

Why couldn’t this master moviemaker film the James Garfield saga?

The story of the failed assassination attempt only days before this sterling character (who didn’t want to run for president) became the chief executive against his will would make a compelling film.

The book, “Destiny of the Republic” by Candice Millard, is one of the most brilliant and heart-rending ever.

I don’t think the average American even knows much about this story beyond knowing that Garfield was shot before he could even begin his days in office. Three horrible, painful months passed before he died of infection — wrought by the narrow-minded doctors who rejected the new idea of antisepsis from Lister in England.

Garfield’s shooter was an idiotic, self-willed, deluded kind of lunatic

that we encounter through the ages — people who think they should be “famous” and select assassination as their route to the top. In this attempt, which eventually succeeded because of the president’s stubborn doctor, the would-be killer was finally hanged.

Garfield’s doctors went right on tormenting the infected president, plunging their fingers and unsterilized instruments into his wound, searching for the bullet. The story of how Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell tried to use science to help is just riveting.

Garfield might have made a great president. He was certainly a remarkable man, and his incredible courage, uncomplaining, after months of torture is a grueling read — and enough to bring one to tears. In fact, much of the book is emotional, dealing as it does with our still new country and its still-new great dreams.

Garfield’s inept and retiring vicepresident, Chester A. Arthur, at first a total failure, finally rose to the oc-

casion and did a good job in the office he inherited. This was only 16 years after the actor John Wilkes Booth had killed President Lincoln.

The story of Garfield, his election against his will, his happy marriage cut short, his unbelievable suffering and his death, which was a tragedy for U.S. history, really would make a good film.

So, would Spielberg, Weinstein, Scorsese, Geffen or Tom Hanks consider this suggestion?

Of course not.

Bo Derek (born Mary Cathleen Collins; November 20, 1956) is American film and television actress, movie producer, model, and sex symbol, perhaps best-known for her role in the 1979 film 10. The film also launched a bestselling poster for Derek in a one-piece bikini, and she became one of the most popular sex symbols throughout the 1980s. However, Derek’s later films weren’t well received by either the public nor critics and her film career never recovered. Today she makes the occasional Continued on page 28

Entertainment film, television, or documentary appearance.

In 1972, at age 16, she began romancing John Derek, a married man 30 years her senior. Not long after the two started dating, John divorced his wife, actress Linda Evans, and he and a young Cathleen moved to Germany so that John wouldn’t get into rape trouble due to Cathleen’s young age. They returned to the United States when Cathleen was 18 and they married in 1976. Derek was born Derek Delevan Harris in Hollywood, California, the son of actor and director Lawson Harris. His good looks quickly got him supporting roles, most notably as

the son of Willie Stark played by Broderick Crawford in All the King’s Men (1949), but he also enjoyed leads such as “Nick Romano” in Knock on Any Door (1949) opposite Humphrey Bogart (who told him, “You look great, but kid, that’s not enough”), “Brock Mitchell” in Fury at Showdown, and as Robin Hood in Rogues of Sherwood Forest (1950) with Alan Hale. He played Joshua in The Ten Commandments (1956).

He also was a film director. He directed his wives, Ursula Andress, in two movies, and Linda Evans in one. His best known films as a director are those he directed with his fourth wife, Bo Derek (she starred in four of his movies). The 1990 film Ghosts Can’t Do It was his last film in the director’s chair.

He was first married to actress Pati Behrs, née Pati Behrs Eristoff (February 13, 1922 — July 10, 2004). Behrs was a Russian-born American actress, a grandniece of Leo Tolstoy. She was married to Der-

ek from 1951-57. They had two children, Russell and Sean Catherine Derek. John Derek took photos of all three of his subsequent wives (at different times) for Playboy magazine.
