Do you know what happened to Disinfotainment Today
? When I checked the

voice doesn't get heard any more.

Liza Minnelli has had her battles - with drink, drugs, life-threatening illness and, most recently, her fourth husband, David Gest. But, she tells Gareth McLean, the show must go on.
I was watching my favorite Republican vampire, Ann Coulter, babbling away on Bill O'Reilly's "No Spin Zone"….my normal non-violent nature gets put to the test every time I hear her voice….vile, venomous, vindictive and….vapid! (She is actually beginning to resemble a gaunt blonde zombie with a wind-up voice box)…….just when I was about to piss on my TV screen, my wife told me about a horror movie she a just found on Showtime….It was part of the "Masters of Horror" series and it was called "Homecoming"!!!!!!
Imagine it is the fall of 2008….. there is a presidential election with an incumbent Republican (Bush) running for re-election…. being a Texas oilman who has lied our country into invading Iraq, along with chief advisor Kurt Rand (Karl Rove), along with a successful speechwriter who has coined all his corny one-liners…."Bring it on!"….."4 more Years"…..are in the heat of planning to lie their way back into the White House…..There is also a blond bimbo acerbic right wing political pundit and writer named Jane Cleaver (Ann Coulter) who has just written a book called "Subversive"!!!!
But there is one thing that the evil administration didn't count on…all the American soldiers killed in Iraq….coming back to Arlington Va. In caskets as zombies…that's right they are the new "undead" …and they are really pissed at the evil administration for sending them over to Iraq on A LIE !!!! Now they're BAAAAACK…..suddenly this movie morphs into "Night of the Living VETS"….
The twist in this monster morality play is that the G.I. Ghouls are returning for one reason……TO VOTE !!! That's right TO VOTE…more specifically to vote out the Evil Administration that sent them all over to Iraq to die …for A LIE!
Well we get the Ann Coulter look alike wearing a tittie tite T-shirt saying "No Sex for Oil" and slutilly smoking a cigarette and having bondage style sex with the presidential speechwriter…we have a Cindy Sheehan character speaking for Gold Star mothers who have lost kids in Iraq….being laughed at by the Jane and Kurt…..We have a Katherine Harris like character saying she can take care of throwing the election in Florida…..and we have the coffins in the hangers opening up with zombie vets marching toward the Early registration poll booths and ripping off their dog tags to show I.D.
Kurt decides to try to capture and dismember the zombie vets but each time he cuts an arm or a leg off…they multiply….soon we have hordes of bloody, drooling ghouls…in uniform…..marching to vote…..this is amazing…pretty soon we see CNN covering the president cowering in the White house, Kurt gets his face chewed off and the FINALE …..
SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT
Out on the highway, Jane and the Speech Writer get their car over run by Zombie Vets and Jane just never stops talking. She pulls a hand gun out and starts walking into the mob of military monsters calling them names as she shoots until she's out of bullets….the Speech Writer, either out of charity or because he's tired of hearing her incessant YAP…..blows her head off with a shotgun…and then he turns it on himself.
This is probably the only political comedy horror satire flick I have ever seen…it was….unbelievable!!!
Purple Gene gives "Homecoming" 9 bizarre purple hearts out of 10 to the zombie Vets for getting the vote out….let's hope we don't have to resort to this in November….by the way…although I took great delight in seeing Jane Cleaver's head blown off….I still love Ann Coulter…in a very sick way!
There's finally a fall-like nip in the air - closed most of the windows in the house. They've been open since April.

Barbra Streisand opened her first U.S. tour in 12 years on Wednesday with a show that ridiculed her political nemesis, resident George W. Bush.
Before a capacity crowd of some 16,000 people at South Philadelphia's Wachovia Center, Streisand gave assured renditions of standards from her long career as a singer and actress including "Funny Girl," "Come Rain or Come Shine," "Love Soft as an Easy Chair," and "Somewhere."
The show also featured a skit where an actor playing Bush uttered such lines as, "I'm concerned about the national debt, so I'm selling Canada," and "If I cared about the polls I would have run for president of Poland."
Streisand, 64, a longtime liberal activist, said she was coming out of retirement to raise money for her foundation, which supports a range of causes related to the environment, education, health care and other issues.
When Jon Bon Jovi told former president Bill Clinton about a new plan to restore homes in one of Philadelphia's most blighted neighbourhoods, his pal was all ears.
Clinton "was intrigued enough that he offered his services, and said, 'If I can help you in any way, don't hesitate.' And we didn't," Bon Jovi told The Associated Press on Thursday.
Clinton stood beside the rocker in Philadelphia on Thursday as he announced his project, called the Phase V Homeownership Project.
Plans are to renovate 15 decaying homes on two blocks on the city's north side, described by Bon Jovi as "messes of row homes."

Bon Jovi, co-owner of the Philadelphia Soul of the Arena Football League and creator of the team's charity foundation, teamed up with Habitat for Humanity, the Saturn automobile company and Project HOME for the effort.

The wars aren't over for "Star Wars" creator George Lucas. Lucas said Wednesday he's making an animated TV series of "Clone Wars" that could air next year, although he hasn't sold the show to a network yet. The series is set during the time when the Republic is fighting a civil war against separatists led by Count Dooku.
"It basically has all the main characters" such as Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, Lucas said, but the stars who played them in the movies won't voice them for the TV show.
The show is planned as a continuation of the Emmy-winning "Clone Wars" that aired in 25 episodes on the Cartoon Network from 2003 to 2005. That series used limited animation. The new version will use 3-D computer graphics.
The union representing film and TV actors narrowly ousted a prominent leader, signaling discontent within the ranks just a year after the organization elected new, more radical leadership.
Screen Actors Guild First Vice President Anne-Marie Johnson was replaced Tuesday night by a vote of 17-16 and replaced by actor and longtime SAG activist Kent McCord.
The election of McCord was a rebuke to SAG President Alan Rosenberg, a close ally of Johnson, a black actress who has appeared in such TV shows as "JAG," "Melrose Place" and "In the Heat of the Night."
The CW is switching its Sunday and Monday night lineups.
Starting next week, the network's Sunday night comedy block of "Everybody Hates Chris," "All of Us," "Girlfriends" and new series "The Game" will move to 8-10 p.m. Mondays. The CW will rebroadcast each comedy's season premiere next Monday, with original episodes returning October 16.
Meanwhile, the Monday dramas "7th Heaven" and "Runaway" will move to Sunday nights starting October 15. The new Sunday lineup will begin with a repeat airing of the previous Wednesday's "America's Next Top Model" at 7 p.m., followed by original episodes of "7th Heaven" at 8 p.m. and freshman drama "Runaway" at 9 p.m.
Bidders, at least one them costumed, paid top dollar for Star Trek items on Thursday at the start of Christie's auction of memorabilia from the seminal television and movie franchise.
A model of the Starship Enterprise E was bought by an online bidder for $132,000 including commission, more than 10 times its $8,000 to $12,000 pre-sale estimate.
Another item, a 30-square-inch (193-square-centimetre) Borg cube model used in "Star Trek: First Contact," sold for $96,000 to a telephone bidder. Its estimated value was between $1,000 and $1,500.
The auction, which marks the 40th anniversary of the "Star Trek" phenomenon, ends on Saturday when some of the most coveted items, including costumes worn by William Shatner as Captain James T. Kirk and Leonard Nimoy as Mr. Spock from the original 1966 television series, go on the block.

An auction of more than 700 items belonging to singer and actress Cher raised over $3.5 million -- more than double pre-sale estimates -- as celebrity collectors snapped up her possessions.
The top selling costume was a Bob Mackie-designed rock'n'roll outfit that was sold for $60,000, up to 20 times its estimate of $2,000 to $3,000.
The buyer was Brigitte Poublon, wife of U.S. singer and actor Bobby Sherman, who once appeared with Cher on the "Sonny and Cher" show.
The single most expensive lot was for 60-year-old Cher's black 2005 Bentley, which fetched $204,000, while the "Gothic Revival" brass bed from her Malibu residence earned $84,000.
Who knew being a "Desperate Housewife" could be so dangerous? Eva Longoria, who plays saucy Gabrielle Solis on the ABC dramedy, was taken to the hospital after being injured on the set.
"Eva slipped on one of the stairs coming out of her trailer," her publicist, Liza Anderson, said Thursday. "Nothing is broken, but her ribs are very bruised."
The 31-year-old actress will not require any time off for the injury.
A man describing himself as a "mentor and guide" to R. Kelly since he was a teenager is suing the singer, alleging that he attacked him and reneged on an agreement to pay him for a song idea. In a suit filed Wednesday, Henry "Love" Vaughn says he's worked for Kelly off and on for years.
The suit says that in February, he went to Kelly's south suburban Olympia Fields home to watch a basketball game and that one of Kelly's other employees became "verbally abusive." It goes on to allege that Kelly and others dragged him to the basement, attacked him and held him against his will.
The suit also alleges that the song "Step in the Name of Love" was Vaughn's brainchild and that Kelly reneged on a promise to give him half the proceeds from the song.

A woman has been sentenced to 30 months probation for stealing from the estate of actress Ava Gardner, taking family heirlooms and original Frank Sinatra recordings.
Angela Renee Sykes, 43, on Wednesday entered what is called an Alford plea to the charge, under which she didn't admit guilt but acknowledged that evidence would likely lead to her conviction, the Winston-Salem Journal reported.
Prosecutors say Sykes took more than $1 million worth of property between 2001 and 2005, when she worked as a nurse caring for Gardner's older sister, Myra Pearce. Pearce, Gardner's closest living relative, inherited the estate after Gardner died in 1990.
CBS has given a full-season pickup to "The Unit," the No. 1 new drama last season with more than 15 million viewers weekly.
As a midseason entry earlier this year, "Unit" had received an initial order of 13 episodes for 2006/07; the pickup brings its complement to 22 episodes.
Scientists have found a fossil of a "Monster" fish-like reptile in a 150 million-year-old Jurassic graveyard on an Arctic island off Norway.
The Norwegian researchers discovered remains of a total of 28 plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs -- top marine predators when dinosaurs dominated on land -- at a site on the island of Spitsbergen, about 1,300 km (800 miles) from the North Pole.
"One of them was this gigantic monster, with vertebrae the size of dinner plates and teeth the size of cucumbers," Joern Hurum, an assistant professor at the University of Oslo, told Reuters on Thursday.
Good news for aging hippies: smoking pot may stave off Alzheimer's disease.
New research shows that the active ingredient in marijuana may prevent the progression of the disease by preserving levels of an important neurotransmitter that allows the brain to function.
Researchers at the Scripps Research Institute in California found that marijuana's active ingredient, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, can prevent the neurotransmitter acetylcholine from breaking down more effectively than commercially marketed drugs.
THC is also more effective at blocking clumps of protein that can inhibit memory and cognition in Alzheimer's patients, the researchers reported in the journal Molecular Pharmaceutics.

Just whose waste is fouling the most star-studded stretch of the Southern California coast? Los Angeles County officials intend to find out, and if the evidence leads back to the toilets of some of Hollywood's rich and famous, the sewage could really hit the fan. "This is going to get messy," predicts Mark Pestrella, the public works official assigned to the project.
Environmentalists and health officials suspect Malibu homeowners' leaky septic tanks are allowing what gets flushed down the toilet to flow down the hills and into the Pacific Ocean. To identify the offenders, authorities intend to use DNA testing and, if necessary, get court warrants to inspect septic tanks. And that includes tanks buried in the backyards of Hollywood celebrities.
Under pressure from Southern California regulators, investigators over the next few months will begin testing sea water. If DNA shows the waste is human and not from, say, raccoons or coyote, they will follow the trail up creeks that traverse neighborhoods in Malibu, where clean-water advocates such as Pierce Brosnan and Ted Danson live.
