Want to be a famous actor or actress? Who doesn’t nowadays!
However, did you know that only a century ago, acting was thought of as one of the white-trashiest of professions? The term highest paid actors would have been an oxymoron back then (if people knew how to use it properly … most people couldn’t read, let alone use smart words like that). Now, fast forward to this present day and age and freaking actors are placed among the highest rank members of this fake ass, money-fueled society that us Americans have come to know as our world. The biggest actors are making over $20 million a movie (I don’t think I’ll ever see that much cash in my life … actually, I’m pretty sure of that fact!). Pretty sweet huh (I hope you answered yes … if not, you’re either lying or plain stupid)? Continued

“The Week in Review: Money Issues” is my weekly blog research on financial topics that define us as Americans, and shape the way we should do business.
One more month until 2009! Holy crap!
It feels like just last week since 2007, but I guess that’s a good thing because this whole election thing was just drawn out way too long, if you ask me! Also, the two things that I wanted accomplished this year, which I had no control of, had materialized at last: 1) the 2008 Philadelphia Phillies came through for me (it’s been a long time coming. Seriously, I was 7 last time it happened [but I was screaming just the same back then]), and 2) The Democrats just won the political lottery (I’m blue, through and through). So before everyone else in the media does their dumb, end-of-the-year cherishing stuff, let me be the first to tell you that I loved this year and hope to have many more like it!
Thank you 2008: except for the $4 gas for a few months, you rocked! Ok reader, enough of my craziness, the following is what else I could scrounge up while blog surfing today … enjoy: Continued

Unless you’re part of SAG, I know you’re not getting paid enough! So, why don’t you do us all a favor, and perform these following subconscious techniques in the new crappy movies and shows coming out this fall:
1) Wear an Obama Shirt in those new Red State flicks (old examples: National Treasure, Jarhead, and Saving Private Ryan).
2) Pull out your empty pockets to show us how much they truly pay the people that make these overpaid (and never satisfied) actors look good!
3) For those with cars: write, “January 20th, 2009” in your back window’s dust (don’t worry, you can wash it off when this 8-year accident comes to an end)!
4) Throw up a peace sign (because this country needs a little bit of it right now)!
If you get caught, tell those far-too-lefties (who are only doing it for their careers) that better days are coming (if you’re correct, then those lame reality shows will have the final nail hammered into their coffin)!
After you’re done there, you better get back to your dishwashing “gig” (even though you just played a big CEO) or 8” by 8” dilapidated apartment (and practice being famous with the rats and neighborhood elderly)!
Note: Movies are made to keep us in a constant state of greed and jealousy (their formulas will never benefit the viewer. Fact)!
