I could identify Donald by sight, mainly because of his resemblance to his son, but Dennis would be a little more trouble. But I think I've got a mental image. Let's see if I'm right. *checks IMDB* Yep. What was the last thing I saw him in . . . *checks IMDB* <em>Speed</em>?! Wow. Interesting, however, is the fact that he was in the 2002 season of <em>24</em> -- speaking of Sutherlands. Oh, and Obama's campaign slogan is: "Change We Can Believe In." Dennis and Donald, eh?

Speed?! Wow. Interesting, however, is the fact that he was in the 2002 season of 24 — speaking of Sutherlands.

Oh, and Obama’s campaign slogan is: “Change We Can Believe In.”

I haven't lived in the States since he became a national player, so I'm really out of the bumper-sticker loop. And keep this in your pocket for your next game of trivial pursuit: Kevin Bacon ain't even in the top 1000 best-connected Hollywood figures. That honour goes to either Dennis Hopper or Donald Sutherland. And me, apparently. Go, me! See, that’s the horrible irony: I have no idea what Obama’s campaign slogan is.

And to think that they're doing it to "inspire other people in their addictions" is laughable; they're talking about it to get their names in the news. :D The amusement comes not from the fact that they two may be “honestly” trying to kick their nicotine habit, but that it’s newsworthy.

And how is an honest-yet-unsuccessful attempt to quit smoking indicative of an innate dishonesty or duplicity? Wouldn't <a href="http://www.alternet.org/election08/89761/" rel="nofollow">this</a> be better proof thereof? Are we going to start making fun of junkies and alcoholics, too?
