Excerpt:Angelyne Angelyne is an American model and occasional actress who ostensibly became an icon of Hollywood and Los Angeles , best known for purchasing billboards advertising herself. Biography As a significant part of her "mystique" consists of her refusal to answer questions (or giving contradictory information), much of Angelyne's actual biographical information is unknown or doubtful. Angelyne drives a pink Corvette which bears the shortened name "ANGLYNE" on its license plate, and has a pink Maltese named Buddha. She began to gain local attention in the early 1980s when a series handbills, and later billboards, popped up around Los Angeles featuring her in various poses. Around this time, she made her first appearance on national television as a guest on the late night talk show Thicke of the Night hosted by Alan Thicke , and featuring a young Arsenio Hall . She made a few cameo appearances in movies as well. She has had multiple plastic surgeries. Although it has been claimed that billboard companies or a wealthy husband pays for her billboards, Angelyne, who is single, credits "investors" for financing the outdoor advertising. Angelyne compares herself to Barbie , stating that "Kids think I'm a Barbie doll." and, in one billboard, "Barbie wishes she were me." Angelyne has not given her age or birthdate in interviews, although the IMDB lists 1936 (in Idaho ) without providing a source. The Los Angeles County register of voters lists her (by her single first name only) to be age 44 as of June 20, 2007. Angelyne was one of the candidat... ... Read more

A Civil War Governor on the Jewish People
Zebulon B. Vance is probably North Carolina's greatest political hero. A United State Senator who reluctantly served his state as governor during the Civil War, Vance spent the latter portion of his life serving his state in the national legislature, defending the Confederate cause, and stumping the nation delivering speeches. Today this latter activity would be viewed as the act of a desperate and egotistical man. In the late-nineteenth century, however, listening to a speech was a form of entertainment, much like going to a movie today, and nothing could pack a crowd like an eloquent orator matched with a fascinating topic. Vance too would discuss many of the more common subjects of his day, but one of the most popular among them was a rather unorthodox theme - the history and plight of the Jewish people.
So what does the speech contain? Within the course of sixty pages, Vance manages to cover the entire course of Jewish history (from antiquity to what was for him the present), praise the Jewish people for their role in developing foundations of Western civilization such as the Christian religion and democratic government, make impassioned pleas in favor of religious equality and love, and decry what he saw as a dangerously unacknowledged and/or accepted undercurrent of American anti-Semitism. When done in the captivating style of a Southern stemwinder, the speech emerges as a remarkably compassionate, insightful, and meticulously well-informed read, one that makes a reader long to have heard the speech delivered in Vance's own voice.
All of these things make "The Scattered Nation" worthy of five stars. One must be deducted, however, for a single passage in the speech itself, in which Vance decides to further advance Jewish fortunes by making an observation at their racial and intellectual superiority to the one race an overwhelming majority of Southerners couldn't bring themselves to accept - African-Americans. Just as some Northern anti-Semites, like Ulysses S. Grant (http://observer.bard.edu/articles/opinions/173), failed to see the inconsistency between championing African-American rights and persecuting Jews, so too did a Southerner like Vance fail to understand how the very principles he so nobly and eloquently espoused toward the Jewish race were being flagrantly violated when he threw in a reference - however slight - to the inferiority of another group of human beings. With just a little more insight, Vance could have written a practically perfect speech; as it is, the speech retains most of its greatness, but also has a sad little reminder of the tragic limitations of human perspective. ...
