  • Incidentally, I'm having a hard time caring about Ann Coulter's plight, especially in light of:

    -The continuing issues in Iraq.
    -The tsunami aftereffects in Southeast Asia.
    -A new, conservative and in all likelihood, transitional pope.
    -Her racially charged remarks about Mineta.
    -Being hungry because I was late and skipped lunch.

      Salivating over Fonda


      Police: Man Arrested For Spitting On Jane Fonda
      Fonda Declines To Press Charges

      POSTED: 8:19 am CDT April 20, 2005
      UPDATED: 1:23 pm CDT April 20, 2005

      KANSAS CITY, Mo. --


      Police said they arrested a man for spitting on Academy Award-winning actress Jane Fonda during a book-signing stop in Kansas City Tuesday night.

      Fonda, 67, spoke at Unity Temple on The Plaza about her new book, "My Life So Far," and her new movie with Jennifer Lopez called "Monster-In-Law."

      At about 9 p.m., police said a man who had been waiting in line for about 90 minutes, passed a book to Fonda and then spit a large amount of tobacco juice into her face.

      The man then ran away and was taken into custody by off-duty officers, who were providing security for the event.

      Michael A. Smith, 54, was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, which is a city charge.

      Fonda declined to prosecute the man. The actress, who flew to Minneapolis Wednesday for another appearance on the book tour she began April 5, issued a statement through Jynne Martin of Random House, which published her book.

      "In spite of the incident, my experience in Kansas City was wonderful and I thank all the warm and supportive people, including so many veterans, who came to welcome me last night," Fonda said.

      In 1972, Fonda was photographed sitting in a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft tank. About her involvement in the Vietnam War, Fonda has apologized for her anti-aircraft tank photo. She has called it an incredible lapse in judgment.

      • Well, here's the rub. Which would you rather be hit in the face by, tobacco juice, or a pie?

        Both of them stain, is my understanding, so...

        In my case, I'd rather have the pie. Guess that makes me a rightist-type victim, leftist-type perpetrator.

        Then again, it also depends on the pie... I'd wager cream pie might not hurt as much as, say, pecan pie. And it might not burn as much as say, hot chicken pot pie...

              Because they believe in gun control?

                        • I honestly can't blame you. Outside of maybe a rare decent gag every few episodes (like that Tetris one...), there's not much left. I don't watch it either, so I'm not quite sure where I picked up both Tomacco and Rageohol... since I haven't seen the episodes those were in.

                              Q, just try to imagine how you would feel if someone were charging you in a public speaking forum?

                                So it's not coincidence that everytime you are channel surfing and you get to FOX news whoever is speaking says something that Ned would say.
