How in the world could Richard Belzer (Law &amp; Order: SVU, Detective John Munch) have choked an Apple Store employee if he had his dog Bebe with him?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And if Bebe was with him, then who was holding Bebe?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Richard was not alone! Real dog owners do not choke folks in front of their dogs...&lt;br /&gt;Richard loves Bebe and would never want to traumatize the poor little boy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Apple Store employee, pleze contact your manager if you feel that a customer is being inappropriate and let the manager take care of the situation.

Nice to have somewhere to go on the Sabbath again...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;And now I've auditioned for two distinctly different plays. One is about two comediennes and their outrageously comical look on society (Parallel Lives by Kathy Najimy &amp;amp; Mo Gaffney, directed by Mary Lou Phipps-Winfrey). The other is an accounting from those who met the historical Jesus and how knowing him affected their lives (The Witnesses, written &amp;amp; directed by Phil Speary).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;I would like to be a part of both and as teachable as a &lt;em&gt;Katie Kat&lt;/em&gt; can be.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;C'est intéressant... no??&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;and how dichotomously meshuganeh of me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Post Script: Four other actresses were picked for Parallel Lives, but I'm in the ensemble for The Witnesses!!! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Until Next Newsbreak...

With witch trials fresh in their minds and the Inquisition still in effect, they knew a free society could not exist if prosecutorial zeal is unchecked; unscrupulous authorities can get witnesses, especially children, to say anything.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Therefore, they wrote in the Bill of Rights, ''In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right … to be confronted with the witnesses against him.'' The Bill of Rights does not say the lawyer for the accused has the right to face prosecution witnesses; it says the accused has that essential right.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In the McMartin case in California, and in similar cases across the nation, hundreds of innocent lives were affected by a single preposterous dogma that said children never lie in court when it comes to accusations against adults.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The top interrogator in the McMartin case was Kee McFarlane, who, court documents later revealed, was stymied by some children at the day care center who insisted they never saw the lurid sexual activities that McFarlane believed allegedly took place. ''You must be dumb!'' McFarlane would yell at the children until they agreed to testify the way she wanted.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This was part of a modern tide of witch trials that ebbed only partially after the medical establishment finally persuaded courts that children indeed lie, that they can lie in concert, that they can be easily manipulated to create and &lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#330099;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;cling to false memories&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and that there should be professional standards and limits for interrogating children.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bit by bit, however, the Bill of Rights is being eroded by people who want to shift power away from individuals and into the hands of government.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In Pennsylvania, the Bill of Rights were augmented by their state Constitution which had a more explicit regard of the right of criminal defendants ''to meet the witnesses face to face.'' The only way to quash that right was to amend the state's Constitution.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Elections last week &lt;em&gt;(i.e., Nov, 2003)&lt;/em&gt; offered two amendments on the ballot to eliminate the face to face requirement.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Voters nearly always fall for measures to subvert the Bill of Rights or other constitutional precepts if the measures are presented as noble ideals...proposals to weaken the state's confrontation requirement would pass. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This event troubled me most during my two-week vacation. In a free society, there must be a price to pay for those who accuse others. They must be accountable, no matter how uncomfortable that may be. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In Coy v. Iowa (1988), U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia upheld the requirement for all witnesses to testify in front of the accused. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;He wrote: ''The state can hardly gainsay the profound effect upon a witness of standing in the presence of the person the witness accuses,'' Scalia's ruling said. ''That face-to-face presence may, unfortunately, upset the truthful rape victim or abused child; but by the same token it may confound and undo the false accuser, or reveal the child coached by a malevolent adult. It is a truism that constitutional protections have costs.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;''&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When Pennsylvanians voted to deny witness confrontation rights to others, they probably felt there never will be a cost to themselves; there never will be a "Kee McFarlane" coming after them. That's the way it always is with rights; they are less attractive when they benefit only strangers.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But if we let witnesses avoid accountability in criminal proceedings, we all will pay a high price, eventually.

Order, The X Files, The Beat, Law &amp;amp; Order: Special Victims Unit. Law &amp; Order: Trial By Jury and Arrested Development. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;"It's like a dream for me, I never would have predicted it," the grey-haired 62-year-old says. "I was just really lucky to get the role initially. I started as an actor before I did stand-up, but I'd really become known for the comedy."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;A resident of France, Belzer is due to break his own record by going to Paris in October to act in an eighth show as Munch. He guest stars in the new French-language production of Law &amp;amp; Order: Criminal Intent, opposite Vincent Perez as the top cop. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;There's also a Munch Muppet on Sesame Street. The Muppets created a bunch of cops called The Missing Letter Unit and they're searching for the letter M. Munch is one of the squad, taking his incarnations to nine.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;What makes the character so attractive? "Well, Munch has a particular personality," Belzer says. "He doesn't grow that much! He has his own world view that he has settled into - that's part of the charm of the character. You never know what he's going to say, but you know he's going to be contrary. He's into conspiracy; he questions everything; he reads a lot; he's cynical."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Which is very much like Belzer himself. "Well, he's depressed and I'm not. "He's a policeman and I'm not. And I'm happily married and he's not. Otherwise, he's very close to what I'd be, if I were a cop. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;He's distant, opinionated; radical when he was younger. He doesn't trust authority. He reads a lot. He's always got a dark joke about some grim situation. In those ways, he's close to me and the writers know it. And they write to that."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;The conspiracy element is pure Belzer. He is the author of UFOs, JFK and Elvis: Conspiracies You Don't Have to Be Crazy to Believe. Yet only his third wife, actor Harlee McBride, can separate Belzer from Munch and vice-versa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Belzer kicked off in showbiz with the Groove Tube cult movie and his wit has infiltrated all media from radio to off-Broadway and movies: Scarface, The Big Picture, Prince For A Day, Get On The Bus. The stand-up comic, actor and author mines his material from previous experiences as teacher, census-taker, jewellery salesman, dockworker and paperboy turned reporter. Surviving testicular cancer in 1984 even resulted in an album and an HBO show, Another Lone Nut.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;He wears the dark glasses, because as a kid he wanted to be a beatnik jazz musician. "I never take them off. Well, the other day at a French photo shoot, the cameramen were all yelling: Reechar! Reechar!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Then this one guy yells: Reechar, drop your sunglasses. And I said: I will, if you drop your pants. I always say that. To my astonishment, this guy dropped his trousers, so I lowered my glasses for one second. Or two."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;How did he react when he discovered his cop partner in the Special Victims Unit would be a rap singer?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;"Ice T is also an actor. I was very excited because he is very controversial; he speaks his mind. He's very smart and brings a whole other element to the show. When we film in the streets, it's him the crowd come for. In fact we're perfect partners because we both look for the same thing in the scripts: how many days off!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;What sets SVU apart from the other Law &amp;amp; Order shows is that it is character-driven, and this suits Belzer's inclinations. "We're a little different. The other shows are more about the crimes. That gives the audience different choices. It's great for an actor to have great lines written that illuminate the character - as well as solving the crime. It's such good writing, year after year.

Her father was a playwright and newspaper columnist who died when she was six. Nonetheless, she and her year-older brother, George, were reared in a middle-class, assimilated home by their mother, Catherine. With rising anti-Jewish activity in Hungary, Szenes became a Zionist and yearned to go to the Jewish homeland.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;She wrote in her journal: "The thought that now occupies my every waking moment is Palestine. Everything in connection with it interests me, everything else is entirely secondary." To Hannah's surprise, George also became a Zionist while studying at a university in&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#660000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;France.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Just after her 18th birthday, Szenes got her papers to immigrate to Israel. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Upon her arrival, she fell upon the sand at the seashore of Caesarea and afterward wrote this beautiful prayer of Hope, Eli, Eli (My God, My God). Later she went to agricultural college and worked the land on a kibbutz. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But Hannah also had an unwavering desire to help her brethren. She found herself in contact with a group forming to rescue European Jewry. Along with 32 other Jews, she formally joined the British army and was trained as a parachutist in Cairo. Their mission: parachute into Europe, help Allied pilots that had been shot down, assist local efforts against the Nazis and aid in smuggling Jews to safety in then-Palestine. Szenes went to Yugoslavia, where she helped pilots and partisans.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;After a while, she grew dissatisfied when many of the partisans were not interested in helping Jews escape. When Germany began deporting Jews from her native Hungary, Szenes bravely crossed the border with a &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;French&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt; p&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;artisan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/span&gt;and two escaping Jews. Caught by a Hungarian Nazi patrol and brutally beaten, Szenes refused to give information regarding her mission.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;November 7, 1944, Hannah (and her team) were sentenced to death for treason and executed by firing squad.

To stand up and take control of a audience verbally is very difficult. Women are oppressed in childhood and not allowed to do this. Also, women want to be attractive, and comics are not supposed to be that way."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;(Actually&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt; polished-purrty fingernails get in the way of playing any sort of instrument, especially the guitar or typewriter...just ask my Mama. Now for those folks who's Mamas had to play Daddy, too--well we saw a different kind of lady with inner strength. Mine used to sing country music. Beautiful voice of a beautiful woman who had that audience enraptured... thanks for the inspiration, Mom.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Yet Joan admits: "Shocking people is my job. Good comedy is never "nicey-nice"--comedy deflates hypocrisy. If everybody loves you--never mind your act--get on the shelf and put the oxygen away... It's over."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;(And some have nothing to loose by getting heckled...and laughter to gain. After performing before a guy with a sawed off shotgun... I think I can handle a few insults... growl... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#660000;"&gt;=^..^= )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23464725-114654509901518507?l=katreneekittel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://katreneekittel.blogspot.com/feeds/114654509901518507/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23464725&amp;postID=114654509901518507&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23464725/posts/default/114654509901518507'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23464725/posts/default/114654509901518507'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://katreneekittel.blogspot.com/2006/05/mr-funni-is-cross-eyed-cat.html' title='Mr. Funni Is A Cross-Eyed Cat'/><author><name>Katie and Da Katz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05819595350316210130</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='30' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CBk-5X4QQvQ/TTIMJTzrw5I/AAAAAAAACDg/GLwcoG82Gmg/S220/KatieinSack1Z.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23464725.post-114620580437368091</id><published>2006-04-28T07:24:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2008-05-13T06:14:47.571+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Quotes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Comediennes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cats'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Humor'/><title type='text'>Occupied Unoccu-Pied</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5508/1363/1600/crosseyedcat.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="237" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5508/1363/320/crosseyedcat.jpg" width="223" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"&gt;"You have to come to a point when you don't care about getting feminine approval.

Laughter significantly lowers cortisol levels and returns the body to a more relaxed state. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4) Helps put life's trials and tribulations into healthy perspective by making them seem smaller. &lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5508/1363/1600/Cat131.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right;
