that is one impressive list!

I can't get past the Scientology thingie these days, but must admit that I admired Cruise in some of his earlier roles.

I am a huge fan of Jimmy Carter. What a wonderful human being he is!

I had an impromptu conversation with Sean Astin (LOTR's "Samwise Gamgee&quot this week at a Hillary phone-banking session. He mentioned that his late mom Patty Duke would have her memorial in northern Idaho today and I mentioned that I was born and raised in MT and had recently been in NW MT a couple weeks ago, not all that far away. He gave me a personal thumbs-up on his way out!

I want to stress, however, that this is in no way an endorsement of ME. He is a HUGE HRC supporter!
