One Big Reason The Average Person Hates Being Political.

By

Why does the Average Joe hat getting involved in politics? It's not the corruption, or the fact that you basically have to be rich and/or famous to have your voice heard. Dealing with the stubborn "Old Guard" (established politicians who would run over their own mother before giving up their power and the perks that come with it) is an issue, but every generation (or scandal) usually ushers in fresh blood.

No...the biggest reason has to be: Once You Pick A Side For An Issue, You Will Be Slammed.

That's what's happening to the child who was chosen to give the Democratic Radio Address two weeks ago (regarding President Bush's SCHIP veto), and it's disgusting that anyone would go after a child (and their family) for simply trying to be involved in what was once a very non-partisan issue. But as we've seen with warrantless wiretapping, terrorism, US attorneys and other issues, the current Administration has done their best to create divisions out of the most mundane political issues.

Sandrine Holt - Age: 36, Height: 5'10", Relevant Movie/TV Roles: Resident Evil: Apocalypse & Mutant X Pros : She's played both a (doomed) reporter and a person with superpowers, so if she can play both, she's a shoe-in. Plus she's probably the least-known actress on this list, so they can two movies out of her cheap. Cons : While D.C. isn't as star-crazy as Marvel when it co

Being the avid movie watcher that I am, I've noticed that more than one talented actress has been passed over for other talent. And by "talent," I mean, "sex tapes that 'accidentally' made it to the Internet." Well, here's one man's humble attempt to rectify the situation. The following ladies are not only talented, but beautiful. Hollywood: get off your ass and give these women more roles. DANIELLE FISHEL Noticeable TV/Movie Appearances: Boy Meets World; both National Lampoon's Dorm Dazes The delightful Ms. Fishel has the distinction of having the weirdest named ever associated with a smart-yet-hot character (or maybe I'm the only one who has a problem saying "Topanga!" whilst in the throes of passion) as well as participating in the death of the National Lampoon Series (I personally thought it died with Chevy Chase's career; who knew?). If you were to use her IMBD page as a reference, the only real fault people seem to hav
