Gene Simmons Shouts It Out Loud Sunday, May 27 2007 

The Kiss bassist takes on Hollywood idiots, the realities of the war, and anal cavity searches. Money quote:

By the way, the difference between the Warren Beattys and Sean Penns and perhaps the Hannitys in the salons of the world is very little. The people who hate you don’t care what political side you’re on. They make no distinction between far left and far right. They just hate you. It’s so stupid. And the biggest problem, of course, is that media, no matter what you say, is skewed a certain way.

As Allahpundit so succinctly said:  You go to war with the celebrity allies you have.

Enjoy your weekend. But remember what the holiday is for.
