Baghdad Jane

I am just amazed and saddened at the sight of such arrogant individuals in this world who don’t quit while they are ahead in life. I am of course referring to Jane Fonda who, right on the heels of a promotional tour for her best-selling autobiography “My Life So Far” and the contemptible amount of media buzz surrounding her return to the silver screen in the critically panned Monster-in-Law co-starring opposite J. Lo, has decided to return to her once thought bygone hippie days, leading a group of fellow liberal activists on a cross-country bus tour to demand an end to the war efforts in Iraq. And just when some people, not many but some, were beginning to forget her treachery during the Vietnam War. Anyone else out there want to kindly inform Miss Fonda that the 1960s are (thank God) done and over with? What makes this even more pitiful then it already is (and it is, safe to say, pretty damn pathetic at this point) that she intends on crossing the country on a hippie tour bus fueled by nothing more then vegetable oil. That’s right – vegetable oil! I hope she has taken the liberty of purchasing a whole truck load of it because I don’t recall a single street-corner gas station in this country selling cheap, reliable vegetable oil fuel. What maniacal stunt is she going to pull this time? Strap makeshift bombs to the sides of the tour bus? Whatever it may be we can only an individual with a conscious and sense of loyalty to one’s own country will be there when it happens with a digital camera in tow. I just find it a bit convenient that Miss Fonda has found the courage to ‘come out’ against the war now, as opposed to when the United States invaded Iraq in March 2003, AFTER the release of her autobiography and AFTER her return to the movie industry.
