Remember when Tim Robbins refused to be quiet about the war?

How right he was in the whole thing. I just was clearing out old bookmarks and found the link to the transcript of his speech to the National Press Club on April 15th, 2003 and thought others would like to re-read that great speech he gave.

which goes along quite well with this MLK quote I saw this morning.

"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." -MLK Jr

1. His play "Embedded" was a Masterpiece!

I continue to be so enlightred by that play.

He nailed Condi and all of them perfectly.
A real patriot.

I saw the play in Hollywood.
