Found another article on George Clooney-- unfortunately, it's not about another go-around with Bill O'Reilly (those are always fun). ;-)

In 2003, a lot of us were saying, `Where is the link between Saddam and bin Laden? What does Iraq have to do with 9/11?'" Clooney wrote. "We have to agree that it's not unpatriotic to hold our leaders accountable and to speak out."

Agree or disagree with the guy, it's always nice to see a celebrity (aka-- person with a built-in very public soapbox in our culture) talking about things other than their new 20 million dollar car or the latest purse to keep their fashion-accessory dog in. Maybe I need to stop pausing at MTV to roll my eyes when I flip channels, though. Hee.

And speaking of Clooney, not sure if I want to see Syriana, but I'm definitely going to check out Good Night and Good Luck.

You know...I have a great deal of respect for George Clooney. It really bugs me that people think that just because he's an actor, he can't have an opinion. And a damn good one at that. People are forgetting that actors are some of the most influential people in the world today. They can reach people, and they can leave an impression on them. So when people discount him just because he's an actor...I'd like to see them get into a debate with him. How long do you think they'd last?
