Everyday, just before her show, Ellen goes through a mental check list to make sure she has everything she needs to do her show. "Wardrobe? Check. Makeup? Check. Jokes? Check. Dance moves? Check. What to say to Stryker? Check. Correct pronunciation of guest's names? Check. Questions for guests? Check. Gin flask? Check. Set TiVo to record C.H.I.P.'s? Check. Slice of bologna in sock to feel funny? Check. Lucky thimble that I got from Frank Zappa? Check. Extra emergency gin flask? Check."
Her checklist complete, Ellen is all set to do another show. When there's just... 30 Seconds To Air.

Subject: Denzel Washington, and
Brooks Army Medical Center
Don't know whether you heard about this
but Denzel Washington and his family visited
the troops at Brook Army Medical Center , in
San Antonio , Texas (BAMC) the other day. This
is where soldiers who have been evacuated from
Germany come to be hospitalized in the United
States, especially burn victims There are some
buildings there called Fisher Houses. The Fisher
House is a Hotel where soldiers' families can stay,
for little or no charge, while their soldier is staying
in the Hospital. BAMC has quite a few of these houses
on base, but as you can imagine, they are almost filled
most of the time.
While Denzel Washington was visiting BAMC, they gave
him a tour of one of the Fisher Houses. He asked how
much one of them would cost to build... He took his check
book out and wrote a check for the full amount right there
on the spot. The soldiers overseas were amazed to hear
this story and want to get the word out to the American
public, because it warmed their hearts to hear it
The question is - why do:
Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan,
Paris Hilton,
Tom Cruise and
other Hollywood fluff
make front page news with their ridiculous
antics and Denzel Washington's Patr iotism
doesn't even make page 3 in the Metro section of
any newspaper except the Local newspaper in San
Antonio .
