Wouldn’t it be great to have a familiar face jump out of the woodwork to challenge Donald and Hillary? What if that face was very familiar? An Actor? What if that face belonged to a person who is neither Republican nor Democrat? What if he holds a lifetime membership in the N.R.A. while working closely and successfully with some of the most left leaning Liberal Progressives in the country? What if he holds an honorary doctorate from Pepperdine University awarded to him due to his outstanding character and ethic? What if he is a board member of the non-profit “Michael Josephson Institute of Ethics” and co-founder of the “Character Counts Coalition”? What if he is a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity who’s founder wrote, “…the main aim and object of Sigma Chi has been, and is, to develop and train broad-minded men who can recognize the wholeness of things and who are not bound down to a contracted, eight-by-ten notion of exclusiveness. There is an absolute necessity for such men.”? What if he was in the 160th Infantry Division of the California National Guard and activated during the Watts riots? What if he attended the California Military Academy and was commissioned a Lieutenant? What if, as an actor,  he was given an extra $350,000.00 at the end of a project and turned around and bought gifts such as Rolex watches and Porches and gave $1,000.00 bonuses to the cast and crew? What if The Joint Leadership of the United States Congress and the Congressional Award Board of Directors presented him with the Congressional Horizon Award? (The Horizon Award is presented to individuals from the private sectors who have contributed to expanding opportunities for all Americans through their own personal contributions, and who have set exceptional examples for young people through their successes in life.) What if he is gracious enough, funny enough and humble enough to be one of the first stars to personally accept a $4.97  Golden Raspberry Award (Razzie) for worst film and ask the audience to give him the raspberry as he accepted it?  Would it bother you if he is a member of the conservative “Wednesday Morning Club” in Hollywood?

Sadly, he probably fits the profile of people in my earlier post “Ironic, Ain’t It?” Posted 4/25/16.

Still, wouldn’t it be great?
