It all started here, and now actor Orlando Jones would like to see it end here:

Jones would like to elevate the discussion … now. I’m not sure what happened between now and Tuesday when he refused to apologize and defended the Tweet by stating it was his “job as an artist to up a mirror to society.”

Big Hollywood didn’t make a big deal out of the original tweet. We were simply one of the first outlets to report it as yet another example of the glaring double standard at work among our entertainment class.

The headline has a question mark because the Twitter account isn’t verified and therefore there’s no way to know if this is this THE Orlando Jones.

If it isn’t, it is someone posing as the actor:

Mr. Hamill, we’d all appreciate knowing when you’ve put your money where your mouth is.

Also, isn’t your endorsement of OWS and President Obama something of a … contradiction?

The Fox News Channel offers a brisk alternative to mainstream news reportage, allowing conservatives the kind of voice they don’t get on CNN, MSNBC or the Big Three Networks.

Some would call that a measure of balance. Adam Levine, the lead singer of Maroon 5, thinks it’s letting evil infiltrate the airwaves.

The rocker wasn’t too pleased, apparently, to hear his band’s music recently on the cable news outlet, and he shared his outrage with his Twitter followers.

Alec, you need to stop treating American soldiers like they were members of your own family.  They deserve better than that.

Not content with achieving Father of the Year Emeritus status for his unique, outside-the-box parenting skills, Alec Baldwin spent yesterday evening on Twitter to once again offer his nuanced, carefully researched insights into a variety of important topics.  In doing so, he offered a powerful challenge to such innovators as Oliver Stone, Sean Penn and even Hanoi Jane for the coveted title of “Hollywood’s Biggest Idiot.”

In the past, I’ve even taken to these pages to defend Alec as a performer.  But as amusing as he is on screen, the fact is that he is a moral illiterate who refuses to let his manifest ignorance hinder his desire to have himself taken seriously as something more than an actor. 

Alec wants to be just like Ronald Reagan, except he’s handicapped by some challenges the Gipper didn’t face – like being a leftist, a jerk and a fool.

The bloviating buffoon apparently got agitated because Georgia decided to execute a cop killer who had spent 22 years failing to convince any jury or judge that the overwhelming evidence against him was inadequate.  Ironically, the police officer Troy Davis finished off with a bullet to the head was an Army veteran – and judging from Alec’s attitude toward our warriors as manifested in his subsequent tweets, he probably thought that fact supported sparing the killer of Officer Mark MacPhail, Sr.

Here’s a selection of some of his inane tweets from his Twitter timeline.  Let’s see who fails to live up to Alec’s exacting standards!

Well, Michelle Malkin certainly does:

Last night, from the actor’s verified Twitter feed:

More proof that anything any Leftist says about a conservative woman these days is fair game.

A movie trailer makes a joke about electric cars being “gay” and all hell breaks loose. Someone mentions our basketball-loving President should play less basketball and work on the economy more and all hell breaks loose. But say something as vile as this – suggest a sitting Republican Congresswoman and GOP presidential front-runner “suck my c**k, and Hollywood and the Left and most of the MSM consider it a….

Ooopsie. Looks like all is not honey and roses in the left-wing, out of the mainstream land of Huffington Post. When one of the site’s most popular bloggers and celebrities calls HuffyPo readers stupid, it makes for a tense atmosphere among the out of the stratosphere left.

Alec Baldiwn, famed for his left-wing diatribes — oh, and some acting here and there — took to Twitter once again to criticize the readers and commenters at HuffPo after a gaggle of negative comments posted at the tail end of one of his latest HuffPo screeds.

“The reading comprehension level of the HuffPo comments folks is alarmingly low. I mean, downright awful,” Baldwin lamented.

Now, usually when I write about things like this I go into why the comment by the writer was made, what misconceptions were evinced by his critics, and what his response was to those critics… but it’s Alec Baldwin and Huffington Post we are talking about here. Making sense of anything that goes on there is somewhat impossible, not to mention a waste of time.

Suffice to say, it is interesting to see leftists calling each other names. And this isn’t the only time Alec Baldwin has scolded readers of HuffPo. He’s done it on Twitter before. (more…)

One news item that was mostly lost in the holiday weekend shuffle was that the Los Angeles Police Department has solicited celebrities to use twitter to spread the word about the closure of a prominent freeway.  The story was already pretty funny, then Kim Kardashian tweeted the wrong information… twice.  From Fox News:

What did California law enforcement expect when they enlisted celebrities to help warn the public of the impending closure of a major freeway?

Probably not this.

Kim Kardashian, one of several celebrities with Twitter followings in the millions, was asked by the L.A.P.D to warn her followers of the impending highway closure.

Kardashian complied, tweeting on Friday: “Remember this weekend the 405 Fwy is gonna be closed between the San Fernando Valley and the West Side!!”

Just one problem. The closure is in two weeks.

So the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star tried to correct her mistake, tweeting: “Remember next weekend the 405 Fwy is gonna be closed between the San Fernando Valley and the West Side!!”

Wrong again.

Kardashian erased both initial Twitter messages and finally got it right: “Stay away from the 405 Fwy the weekend of July 16 & 17, it will be closed btwn the 10 Fwy and 101 Fwy North & South!”

Oh. My. Gawd.

My data isn’t fresh on this, but there was a time not long ago where the stretch of 405 freeway between the 10 and 101 was the single most trafficked road in the United States.  Shutting that down for a couple of days is like blocking off L.A.’s pulmonary artery; it just can’t function without it.  So, if the city is going to try to temporarily block it off, they can’t afford any mistakes.

This reminds me of when Sonny Bono was running for office and someone asked him his position on illegal immigration. His answer was something to the effect of: “Well, it’s illegal isn’t it?”

Politics only becomes rocket science when the Left tries to turn lies into truth and facts into socialism. The best approach is always a simple, common sense one:

Before knowing for sure if alcohol contributed to the awful car crash that killed “Jackass” star Ryan Dunn and two others, Roger Ebert tweeted the following yesterday afternoon:

“Friends don’t let jackasses drink and drive.”

The blowback was immediate.

Today, Ebert backed off and somewhat apologized:

I don’t know what happened in this case, and I was probably too quick to tweet. That was unseemly. I do know that nobody has any business driving on a public highway at 110 mph, as some estimated — or fast enough, anyway, to leave a highway and fly through 40 yards of trees before crashing. That is especially true if the driver has had three shots and three beers. Two people were killed. What if the car had crashed into another car?

***UPDATE: The indispensable Conservatives For Palin is looking for help with their own project involving the 24,000 emails. Please visit and sign up. In other words, get engaged, fight a corrupt media currently cherry-picking nonsense from this information and ignoring what goes against their anti-Palin narrative.  I spent 15 years frustrated by my inability to do anything about the corrupt media. Now that we can do something, we must.

Some things are so wrong that even some who would never vote for Governor Palin can’t stand quietly by as they occur. Nothing led the MSM to these emails. There was no hint of scandal, no tip about corruption. This was an unprecedented fishing expedition launched by the same liars who just last month were writing about Palin’s irrelevancy. Their sinister goal had nothing to do with news, the goal was only to find something to embarrass the Governor, create the scent of scandal and, of course, conclude their craven mission to destroy her by any disgusting means necessary.

—–

Up till now, what we’ve learned from these 24,000 emails is only what we already knew: Palin was an effective and engaged Chief Executive of her State and that there are black holes that don’t suck as hard as the MSM.

We also know that Palin didn’t squander a trillion dollars to create zero jobs; didn’t spend twenty years in a racist church led by a divisive demagogue eager to see God damn America; never referred to Americans as bitter clingers; did not launch her career in the living room of a domestic terrorist; has never apologized for America; did not stand idly by as the price of a gallon of gasoline nearly tripled on her watch; never sold out Israel, bankrupted her country, bowled like a Community Organizer, or voted present.

The corrupt MSM will do everything they can to ensure 2012 is not a referendum on the failed president they call Their Precious One — and this email frenzy was just another part of that plan.  But if  the last couple of weeks have taught us anything….

Between the controversy surrounding the proposed local laws in California against circumcision. and the Weinergate scandal, so far the month of June can be called the month of the schmeckel (Yiddish for penis).  There has been more schmeckel talk in the main stream media over the past two weeks, than occurs in an eight grade lunch room in an all boys school during the course of an entire school year.

Thankfully there will probably be no more Weiner’s wiener pictures released (even though the nightmares remain), and after a leader of the anti-circumcision movement published a blatantly anti-Semitic comic book (called Foreskin Man), the ballot initiative to ban childhood circumcision Santa Monica was dropped. The San Francisco initiative still remains on the ballot.

Sadly the movement against circumcision is not over and Academy Award winning actor Russell Crow, has decided to join in on the “fun” with an anti-circumcision rant on twitter.

A Crowe follower told the Australian celebrity that he was expecting a son soon, and asked for his input on whether he should have his baby circumcised.

Crowe responded harshly, saying that “circumcision is barbaric and stupid. Who are you to correct nature? Is it real that GOD requires a donation of foreskin?”

The actor added that “babies are perfect” when they are born. Crowe later said that he “will always stand for the perfection of babies, I will always believe in God, not man’s interpretation of what God requires.”

(more…)

Russell Crowe reportedly deleted some of the offending tweets and later apologized. Because  the Oscar-winner didn’t direct “The Passion of the Christ” we’ve likely heard the end of this. 

US Weekly:

Russell Crowe’s message is clear: circumcision is the enemy.

“Circumcision is barbaric and stupid. Who are you to correct nature?” the Oscar winner tweeted Thursday. “Is it real that God requires a donation of foreskin? Babies are perfect.”

After several of his followers tweeted messages of support, the 47-year-old actor reached out to his Jewish friends (including director Eli Roth, 39) to encourage them to reject their long tradition of ceremonial circumcision.

“I love my Jewish friends, I love the apples and the honey and the funny little hats, but stop cutting your babies,” he wrote.

Daily Caller:

Conservative commentator Andrew Breitbart has been blasted by many since breaking the story of New York Rep. Anthony Weiner’s erect Twitter picture nearly two weeks ago, but wasn’t offended when Hollywood funnyman Alec Baldwin insulted him via Twitter on Thursday.

Baldwin, a long-time Huffington Post contributor, wrote a column on Thursday titled, “Anthony Weiner Is a Modern Human Being” and went on to slam his critics on Twitter, “A lot, a real lot, of sanctimonious d-bags on HuffPo.” The New York Democrat, who many speculate will run for office next year, knocked Breitbart in a follow-up tweet, “…Andrew Breitbart is the D-Bag-In-Chief.”

In a phone interview with The Daily Caller, Breitbart said he was not hurt by Baldwin’s put-down.

“He’s a comedic savant,” Breitbart told TheDC of the actor. “He is perfect in the realm of comedic acting yet he falls short in all other human endeavors.”

[Ed. Note: This is a Friday Gregalogue]

Yeah, seems old, just three days ago….

So buried in a recent Politico article, is this tidbit about Congressman Weiner.

“Two people who spoke to him privately said he had suggested that, as one said, “he took or sent a photo or photos like this
at some point – but in this case actually was hacked/set up, perhaps with a posting of one of his own photos or something very similar.”

Okay, that’s an admission.

And it’s coming from someone who spoke to Weiner, meaning Weiner wanted it out there – a trial balloon to end the junk about his junk.

It may be too late.

But Weiner can look on the bright side.

With so many recent scandals, he must ask himself, was his boner that bad?

Lets play a game I like to call “who would you rather be?”

A: a married Republican congressman caught posting swinger ads on Craigs List?

B: a married Republican congressman caught tapping his feet in an airport men’s room?

C: a married Republican Governor mired in extramarital affairs, one that results in a secret love child?

D: a Democratic Governor busted with hookers, who now has a show on CNN

E. a Democratic Presidential candidate, who cheated on his dying wife, and tried to cover it up?

F: a sleazy French socialist with a penchant for assaulting the help?

G: a sleazy French politician who frequents Moroccan boy orgies?

Or… A guy with a picture of his junk on his phone?

On Tuesday, Congressman Weiner suffered a meltdown to end all meltdowns. To recap: it happened after a lewd photo of a dude’s crotch was sent to a Seattle co-ed from Weiner’s Twitter account. Weiner claims he was hacked. But instead of contacting authorities, he lawyered up.

When reporters asked if he sent the photo, he lost it.

So the question is, why?

Well, he assumed the press would let the scandal blow over – a consequence of inhabiting a protective bubble the press affords liberal politicians.

The problem with that bubble – it can burst when the press sees a story too good to ignore.

Sadly, the Congressman can’t see out of the bubble, and see what’s coming. Spitzer could have warned him.

Hence, the mortifying performance. Weiner looked like a deer in the headlights, trying to joke with the headlights.

The panicky bob of his Adam’s apple seemed to be sending Morse code to his friends in the media: “Why! Why! why! I’m one of you!”

It all screams “guilty!” – a whiny tantrum directed not at a hacker – but the media, his allies.

If you read Moore’s tweets you’ll see that the Oscar-winner’s actually taking shots at George W. Bush. There is a joke I didn’t screen-grab about President Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize, but the bizarre shots at Bush might be today’s best example of the Left’s incredible ability to use what Orwell described as ”doublethink” –  ”the power to hold two completely contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accept both of them.”

The Other McCain wonders if Moore’s criticism of Obama’s makes him a racist.

When comedian Gilbert Gottfried was fired from Aflac for tweeting jokes mocking the Japanese Tsunami, I took a “free country” approach towards the issue. If he wants to make jokes, that’s fine. If Aflac wants to fire him, that’s fine too. Free country. Gallows humor, jokes about real-life, ongoing tragedies aren’t my personal cup of tea, but Jazz Shaw posted a terrific piece today that asks a bigger and more important question: Are we as a nation becoming too sensitive to this sort of thing?

Shaw:

[I]n today’s politically charged climate, [dark humor during a tragedy is] darned near a capital offense. We saw this in action this week when Gilbert Gottfried lost his job as the voice of the Aflac duck after tweeting some ill timed jokes relating to the tsunami in Japan. Shortly thereafter, Haley Barbour’s press secretary had to resign after e-mailing the following comment:

“Otis Redding posthumously received a gold record for his single, (Sittin’ on) The Dock of the Bay. (Not a big hit in Japan right now.) “

Even rapper 50 Cent – not exactly known as a paragon of good taste and demure social commentary – found himself having to offer a half-hearted apology on Twitter after rattling off a couple of tsunami jokes.

What’s happening to us? Are we really that easily put off our feed? When faced with unspeakable tragedy such as we’ve witnessed recently, do we really prefer to gnash our teeth, rend our clothes and wander around in a daze? There are some people – including yours truly – who find relief from such horrors in dark humor and a “what the heck are ya gonna do?” sort of attitude.

The first “tsunami tweet” I came across was from “Family Guy” writer Alec Sulkin, who wrote (he later apologized):
