The next time a Hollywood celebrity tries to impress you with his political acumen :
	EFFORTS by Hollywood actor Sean Penn to aid New Orleans victims stranded by Hurricane Katrina foundered badly overnight, when the boat he was piloting to launch a rescue attempt sprang a leak. Mr Penn had planned to rescue children waylaid by Katrina's flood waters, but apparently forgot to plug a hole in the bottom of the vessel, which began taking water within seconds of its launch. Oh, I know. I shouldn't josh him for neglecting to put the drainage plug back in the boat before lowering it into the water. Anyone could make that mistake, if he'd never actually launched a boat before. At least he was trying, right? Right? - Asked what he had hoped to achieve in the waterlogged city, the actor replied: "Whatever I can do to help." - With the boat loaded with members of Penn's entourage, including a personal photographer, one bystander taunted the actor: "How are you going to get any people in that thing?" - You've got to bring a cameraman along if you're an actor, because it's existentially true that if your heroism and altruism aren't caught on film, then they never really ever happened... - I know it's unkind to poke fun at the silly people, but still: Heh.

Credo

"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." - John Paul Jones

"Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Ceasar and Cleopatra"

"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friederich Nietzsche
