Boils My Blood (Chaps My Hide)

Since when are we not allowed to disagree with our president or government?

This is the kind of stuff that just drives me insane.

Petroskey, a former assistant press secretary in the Reagan administration, wrote a letter Monday to actor Tim Robbins informing him the hall was canceling a 15th anniversary celebration of the movie “Bull Durham” scheduled for April 26-27 at Cooperstown.

Had Petroskey deep-sixed Robbins for a barely credible throwing motion while portraying fireballing right-hander Nuke LaLoosh in the movie, that would have been one thing. Instead, the hall boss cited Robbins’ anti-war stance.

He said the actor’s “very public criticism of President Bush … helps undermine the U.S. position, which ultimately could put our troops in even more danger.”

People are acting like sheep in this country! Whatever you say President Bush, whatever you say Donald Rumsfield. I’m sure you have the best interests of all americans and the iraqi people in mind. I’m sure you are there to liberate. Whatever you say about Syria must be true as well. Keep talking Mr. Rumsfield, you lull me to sleep at night.
