As all of you know, I am very fond of the Space Program. I have incredible memories of it from my childhood days and astronauts are still heros to me. Last week, President Obama basically dismantled the program even more than I thought he would. Here is an article from my friend Craig Covello to explain the situation further. Please let me know what you think and let Obama know what you think about the destruction of Ame…

It directly involves the entertainment industry and contains information that everyone in the acting profession should be aware of. As we all know, the American economy is currently battling double digit unemployment. The current unemployment rate is 10% and most major economists believe it will go higher.

The year was 1980. The President was Jimmy Carter. Under Carter’s leadership, the United States was experiencing stagflation, high unemployment, an energy crisis was brewing, and the Iran hostage crisis was in full effect. While he began his term with a 66% approval rating, it had dropped to 34% (with 55% disapproving). It was also an election year… and Ronald Reagan was Carter’s opponent. On November 4, 1980, Reagan took 44 states and won …
