Hollywood HOs: Alicia Silverstone

And you thought Morgan Freeman dating his granddaughter was creepy...

Hollywood HOs

WARNING:  Do NOT read this while eating your breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack!  In fact, after reading this, you probably won't want to eat for a week.

I know SACSTW fans expected this week's Hollywood Hall of Shame winner to be either Spike Lee or Roseanne Barr.  In most weeks, you would have been correct.  No devoted readers, this week's winner put the EWWWWWW in spew.  This week's Hollywood HOs winner is Alicia Silverstone.

As if naming her spawn Bear Blu wasn't bad enough, she premasticates for her 10 month old son. (For KCMO public school students - Mastication:   The process by which food is chewed or ground by teeth.)  Premastication is where the food is chewed by one person and then spit into the mouth of another.  Apparently, things have not been going well career-wise for Ms. Silverstone and she cannot afford a blender or food processor.  For those of you with a stout heart and iron stomach, you can view the video below:



Here's what Ms. Silverstone, a vegan, had to say about this on her website:

"I just had a delicious breakfast of miso soup, collards and radish steamed and drizzled with flax oil, cast iron mochi with nori wrapped outside, and some grated daikon. Yum! I fed Bear the mochi and a tiny bit of veggies from the soup…from my mouth to his. It’s his favorite...and mine. He literally crawls across the room to attack my mouth if I’m eating. This video was taken about a month or 2 ago when he was a bit wobbly. Now he is grabbing my mouth to get the food!"

She had me at "drizzled with flax oil"...  I really hope she is putting away the money she is saving by not buying MEAT to pay for the decades of therapy this poor boy is going to need.  Ms. Silverstone, and I speak for everyone, please make any future movies/videos in which you star... "Spewless".  I shudder to think the process she used to breastfeed.

Now that we are all indelibly scarred, I hope everyone has a wonderful meat-filled weekend.  But please, everyone chew for themselves.

When did "I Have a Dream" become "I Have a Hoodie"?

The Death of the Civil Rights Movement

Martin Luther King Jr.:  I have a Dream!

Miami Heat basketball team:  I have a Hoodie!

When did the civil right movement go off the rails? Why is there not a single current civil rights leader for children to look up to?  Most importantly, has anyone let Bill Belichick know that he is the new face of civil rights?
I don't know the answers to any of those questions, but I have heard the obvious death rattle of one of the most important movements in American history.

Fashion Trend-setter or Civil Rights Leader?

I do not know the cause, but I can give you the symptoms. The movement that began with such visionaries as Rosa Parks, Medgar Evers, and Martin Luther King Jr. has been entrusted to the self-serving and corrupt hands of those like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.  People who are more interested in the sounds of their own voices and lining their pockets than the welfare of those they claim to represent.




Perhaps it is a result of the success of the early luminaries.   What did all founding civil rights leaders have in common? Sacrifice and risk.  They all sacrificed and exposed themselves to incredible risks.  Obviously, some even to the point of death.

What risks do today's civil rights "leaders" face?  Fire hoses, lynch mobs, National Guardsmen, assassination?  I have heard that Al Sharpton faces the possibility of a stern talking-to from the empty suits at MSNBC.  The horror!  Spike Lee faces criticism for posting the INCORRECT address of George Zimmerman for justice seekers (vigilantes) to exploit.  (I hope the poor woman whose address it is sues his ass off!)  I'm sure he did it so that the justice seekers (vigilantes) would know where to deliver their petition entreating Mr. Zimmerman to confess to murdering Trayvon Martin in cold-blood.  And of course, the fearless Lebron James and the Miami Heat basketball team.  Those brave souls really went to the mat for their dangerous political stance.  They took a team picture in *gasp!* hoodies!

There is very little common ground between George Clooney and myself politically, but he has my complete respect concerning his work to help stop the true Holocaust that is happening in the Sudan and Dafur.  This is a tragedy on an unimaginable scale and his work is to be greatly commended.  Unfortunately, there is little monetary or political captial to be gained fighting for this cause, so Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and Spike Lee are unsurprisingly unmotivated to take up its banner.

Such is the sad state of affairs for the once shining civil rights movement.  But maybe this is a good thing. Perhaps the necessity of a separate civil rights movement for blacks no longer exists.  Of course racism still exists.  In some form, it will always exist.  But maybe, just maybe, America has matured to the point where, the majority of the time, we only have to worry about people's rights.  And you know, I think that would be a very good thing.
