Stephen Baldwin is a Blatant Racist

"Stay white, stay right, it's the only hope we've got" - Stephen Baldwin

(SALEM, Ore.) - I know a few things in this world, and one, sadly, is the real nature, character, and intelligence level of the actor Stephen Baldwin.

He may or may not remember our encounter; Donny Osmond, I believe clearly would remember it.

Conan O`Brien Says NO WAY to NBC

"The Tonight Show" at 12:05 simply isn't "The Tonight Show."

(SALEM, Ore.) - Jay Leno may be getting his entire show back, but he should have remembered the old cliche, be careful what you ask for.

Since Jay Leno retired about six months ago, the odds have been against his replacement. With Leno taking a slender amount of viewers with him to the ten o'clock show, and then Letterman hitting rating records with his affair/blackmail scandal, Conan O'Brien has had an uphill climb where it should have been a cake walk.

Injured Workers And Injured Workers Advocates Call For Congressional Hearings With Injured Workers Testifying.

(DOWNEY, Calif.) - The exposure of serious illnesses caused by the privatized former military industrial complex in Downey, California is unfortunately not a unique situation.

Film workers from IATSE, Laborers and SAG as well as hospital workers who are members of the SEIU at the Downey Kaiser Hospital complex have been seriously injured as a result of the lack of proper clean-up and in what we believe is a cover-up by the developer Stuart Lichter.

Summer Vacations are for Parents, Too

In summer, the parenting duties are less, but with a teen in the house, my job is to be vigilant about his whereabouts, his friends, what he’s watching on all his screens, and generally try to keep him alive.

(AGOURA, Calif.) - Remembering Chevy Chase in those summer vacation movies reminds me of the fact that most so-called “family vacations” are, at best, vacations for the kids and torture for the parents.

I’m generalizing, of course, but most generalizations as well as clichés, have a strong basis in truth.

My Kids Aren`t Me, in Spite of Sharing the Same DNA

Parenting is about allowing your children to discover their own passions rather than mimicking yours.

(AGOURA, Calif.) - I think the hardest lesson for me in becoming a parent was learning to let go of my expectations for my sons. Okay, I’ll be completely honest; I’ve only been able to partially let go of them.

I think it’s impossible not to have some wishes for our kids, but the focus here is really on how we have specific things we hope they’ll like or do that often mirror our own interests or fantasies.

The Halcyon Company (that owns the rights to the Terminator franchise) will be bringing TrineDay author Daniel Estulin's international bestseller “The True Story of the Bilderberg Group” to the big screen.

Is Envy a Good Thing?

What is important to me, now, are my relationships, my health, and doing something worthwhile with my life. Yet I can’t help but remember those feelings of envy back on the studio lot when I saw the big shots, their fancy cars, and their success.

(AGOURA, Calif.) - A recent visit to an old friend’s beautiful new home triggered a brief moment of envy for me.

While I was extremely happy and proud of his accomplishment in creating such a lovely home, with so much care and detail, I also found myself longing for something similar in my life, instead of the present rental that we have.
