*Matt’s Damon’s petty, tasteless, and insipid knock of President Obama last week as gutless again got plenty of press mention. He used the more street, colloquial term to symbolize the president’s supposed cowardice but we’ll leave it at “gutless.” The almost irresistible temptation is to chalk this up to the star actors need to get [...]

*Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, even low-key actors like Matt Damon. The Hollywood star criticized the president for his lack of leadership and slacking on his promises.

*I thought that the American obsession with psychics had pretty much ended once Miss Cleo was exposed as a fraud from L.A. as opposed to the shaman from Jamaica she posed as on the Psychic Friends Network infomercial.
