HELP FOR JANEANE
Walk Of Fame Petition Hurting For Signatures
While we're signing dueling petitions for
and against FOX News Channel and MSNBC hosts, why not instead devote our energy toward something that can really do the world some good?
What shall we do, rescue Darfur refugees? Bring down Hugo Chavez in Venezuela and Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe? Cure cancer?
Forget those petty causes, they can wait. To help her obtain a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame, let's help poor Janeane Garofalo!
So far, falling quite a bit short is a fan-initiated online effort to do just that. Just how bad is the situation?
To date, just 71 signatures have been collected. From a fan site:
A check of the petition site confirms Garofalo's current total. Here's their pitch:
Since these were all blockbusters, this should be a cinch, right?
Not so fast. To reach the level of those already on the Walk (such as Ryan Seacrest and David Hasselhoff) one must meet these exceptionally high standards, in addition to the willingness to part with a $15,000 "fee":
To help a clearly underappreciated star, here's your chance, sign the petition!
Gene Autry? Compared to the head of I Hate Myself Productions (we didn't make that up) he was nothing.
Your Amazon orders that begin with clicks here, regardless of what you ultimately purchase, bring vital support to the Radio Equalizer's efforts. Thanks again!

Sign our petition to get Janeane Garofalo a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. We have 71 signatures so far. That’s pathetic, people.
A check of the petition site confirms Garofalo's current total. Here's their pitch:
To: Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and Walk of Fame Committee
Janeane Garofalo has acted in over 40 films. Demonstrating a wide range, she has starred in cult classics like the drama, “Sweethearts” and the comedy, “Wet Hot American Summer.” While one of Hollywood's queens of romantic comedy - “The Truth About Cats and Dogs” and “The Matchmaker” - she has also appeared in edgier films such as “Reality Bites” and “The Cable Guy.”
She has made her mark in independent films such as “The Search for John Gissing” and “The Independent” and film noir titles like “The Minus Man” and “Clay Pigeons.” She has also produced and directed.
Her accomplishments in the world of movies are many and she's long overdue for a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. We would like to see her get the recognition she deserves for her many contributions to the movies.
Since these were all blockbusters, this should be a cinch, right?
Not so fast. To reach the level of those already on the Walk (such as Ryan Seacrest and David Hasselhoff) one must meet these exceptionally high standards, in addition to the willingness to part with a $15,000 "fee":
To receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, candidates must meet three criteria:
* Professional achievement
* Longevity of five years in the field of entertainment
* Contributions to the community
Honorees generally receive stars for achievements in one of five categories: motion picture, live theater, radio, television, or music. Only one person has stars in all five categories -- the singing cowboy himself, Gene Autry.
To help a clearly underappreciated star, here's your chance, sign the petition!
Gene Autry? Compared to the head of I Hate Myself Productions (we didn't make that up) he was nothing.

Brian's Lies Watch - Day 6, Post 5
It's been 5 posts and 6 days now since Brian lied in his story about the media attachment to Rush Limbaugh's latest/greatest Lie!
New readers, old reader-liars - do you really want to line up and agree with a liar?
Check for yourself (those of you who DON'T wish to ignore the truth) - the post at issue: "Flash: Rush Errs" on this site.
Don't trust this man, or his "reporting"
question for Brian - did Rush Limbaugh make up this angle of the story? - "there's a racial element here, too"
question for frankenlies - what part of what I've stated above has been discredited, specifically, you LIAR.
Your quote:
"1. You don't even write what my so-called "lie" is. That's about as low as you can blow when you do that. You've totally and completely discredited yourself by doing that."
I did write about what your, and brian's so-called lie was, and directly- you discredited yourself by LYING ABOUT IT REPEATEDLY, and then pretending that you got me, and therefore could continue to ignore reality.
I'd say "nice try", but I'd be lying.
Those who truly care about the truth (and I know you don't count yourself amongst those, frankenlies, don't worry) can research the story and know I'm telling the truth, and you, Rush, and Brian are lying.

Interesting Photoshop pairing of Janeane and Donald - especially considering the latter's recent legal troubles....

"There was no lie by Brian."
frankenlies, at 23 February, 2006 20:29
That was your lie, frankenlies.
My credibility is sound. Brian's is not.
You furthered your lie by continuing the dissemination that Brian fostered:
"An error by Rush Limbaugh was reported by the Associated Press, for goodness sakes. It's a classic case case of liberal media bias."
frankenlies, at 23 February, 2006 20:29
- the "error" rush limbaugh made was not the crux of the issue, however it was reported. The complete and total fabrication (i.e. - LIE) by Rush Limbaugh about the "racial element to this story" and complete failure to correct and retract that statement WAS the story.
So, frankenlies, now that I have pointed out Rush', Brian's, and your lies, you can shut up - or, you could do the reasonable thing and admit you've made a mistake.
I'm not holding my breath.
So, to date folks, we have direct evidence that frankenlies, Rush Limbaugh, and Brian Maloney cannot be trusted to tell the truth.
(Kite - thanks, by the way - you did a great job, but frankenlies had to be answered directly, or he would continue his crap - he'll still continue crap, but so long as I wield the truth, he'll be the only one swimming in it.)

frankenlies, are you really that much of an idiot, or do you simply expect other people to be?
Rush' assertion that there was a racial element was based upon his mistaken belief that Brown was black.
However, Brown, in fact, was white.
This means when Rush said "there's a racial element to this" - HE WAS MAKING IT UP.
Read carefully, now, because it's obvious you get confused.
Rush is making a direct correlation between democrat party politics and race.
His standard BS line is - if there's a black person involved, then democrats are always trying to use the race issue in their decision making process.
Mind you - he means ALWAYS.
That, of course, is stupid, but is also how he makes some of his money - by making stupid assertions.
So, when Rush believed that Brown was black, he concocted the "racial element".
Now, let's pretend Brown _WAS_ black - does that mean the way things played-out (Reid and other demos were, basically, trying to force Hackett out of the senate race - not the nicest part of politics, but, very normal - part of the reason that politics in general sucks) - would have had a "racial element"?
Of course, the answer is "not necessarily".
However, Rush, cow-towing to his low-brow audience, loves to play the race card against dems, and decided to do so again with this story.
WHICH MEANS, he made it up. The "racial element". He made it up, completely - EVEN THOUGH HE BELIEVED BROWN WAS BLACK, he was simply making up the racial element angle.
Making something up is also known as LYING.
Of course, it's actually completely worse than that - it also means Rush is an horrible racist.
He uses race to inflame his constituents.
So - he lied about the "racial element", and he refused to retract the statement.
If you don't get that, I really can't help you.
However, I know that there are a lot of truly intelligent people who will visit this site, read these words, shake their heads in sadness for how deliberately obtuse you are...
And in turn, ignore Brian Maloney, as they should.
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to point all of this out.
If you're in school, you should study harder, If you're out of school - go back.
You really, really need it.
'Course, you could get demonstrably better by dropping the partisanship. Take those 'ol blinders off, and you'll find you don't WANT to spend anymore time defending limbaugh & maloney.

so, frankenlies - 3 people on this very page have described what you so strongly have tried to ignore (the truth, that is)...
at this point, the credibility most in question is yours. The least is obviously mine.
Do you want to stand by your deliberate ignorance and not admit the truth?
Ignoring you from hear on out will be the only reasonable remedy, should you stand steadfast in your lies.

Re: Garofalo petition
LMAO! Make her star a black hole, since she sucks at what she does.

Most of the signatures on the garafolo walk of fame star petition website are clearly fake and many are quite derogatory.
