A Few Comments , But Mostly Links

The grandfather of your faithful correspondent, Sir Bill of Talaqhua, while not condemning moving pictures, was never a fan of actors. To put it short, his opinion of actors and actresses was summarized in the phrase, "They're whores." And this writer's father, the First Lord Nib, while not holding to quite the same opinion of actors and actresses, thought that they were "silly people."
This writer adheres to the opinion that actors are silly people who are paid a lot of money to do the same things that children do for free i.e., pretend that they are what they are not. And that they think that they, because of their fame are, therefore, Solons that we among the hoi polloi should pay attention to in their lives and opinions. Well, let's face it, most actors and actresses are pretty much dopes. They make their livings verbally reading the words of other people. It has long been a axiom among the opera crowd that opera singers are not especially endowed with the smarts. They sing well, but they are, usually, rather stupid.
Liam Neeson has proven that the opinion of the First Lord Nib and this Lord Nib are more true than the entertainment industry would like to be revealed.

Mr. Neeson, while a pretty good actor and a man who at one time aspired to become a Roman Catholic priest, has shown himself to be a victim of politically correct thinking instead of good thinking. Apparently he did not aspire to be a hard Jesuit instead of a lazy parish pulpit filler.
