Squirrels attempt "dry run" on Florida Highway Patrol

It looks like they are moving up to increasingly more sophisticated and coordinated attacks. This was obviously a "proof of concept" for the squirrels, perhaps they were distracting from the real attack. Keep a close eye on this area, this isn't the last we have heard from the squirrels in Florida!

Inland Empire

The latest film by David Lynch is remarkable. I haven't even been able to view it in one sitting because it holds so many powerful subconscious and subliminal triggers and layers that I am still reeling from watching just over one hour of this 3 hour opus.

I have recognized some themes and possible messages though, themes that wouldn't have been readily apparent if I hadn't obsessed over "Mulholland Drive" and found Lost on Mulholland Drive, which is an excellent and thorough collection of analysis, reviews and suggested interpretations of one of the best "puzzle" films ever created.

I say "puzzle" film only because it is the best and most simple way of describing the overall effect of watching the film, and then being captured by essences and small things late at night, when you thought you had put it down. These two movies can crawl right up under your skin and speak to the immortal soul and great unknown in each of us.

I rented "Inland Empire" from Netflix. I will now be turning my "three at a time" plan into a "two at a time" plan, as I am holding onto this disc and will be watching it endlessly looking for clues into its mysteries.

Here is what I've come up with so far. Now, some Lynch fans may say that I am grasping at the obvious, but I am peeling back this movie one layer at a time, so bear with me:

Actors are whores.

They sell a bit of their soul each time they book a movie.

The producer of the film within a film is the devil.

The lead actress made a Faustian deal with the devil.

Her soul is his to play with.

There is an image of rabbits in a sit-com.

The producer said he used to like to play with rabbits. And dogs.

Now I think he is playing with people.

She is a lost soul, condemned to play out life for the devil's amusement and entertainment.

All the world's a stage, and we are merely players.


****And all this from only 1 hour of this movie!!!***

It is too intense to watch all at once. But I will try this weekend.

David Lynch has tapped into so much stuff that I am stunned into awe.

I will try to continue my analysis as I watch more of the film.

Signed,

Keith "Oh My Gawd, what a weird film!" Coogan

Trauma, Turmoil and Challenges

Dear Hollywood,

Wow, couldn't have been a rougher last several days. Actually, I am fully aware that it could have been worse, so I must continually thank my lucky stars (Mother Mary) for my blessings. I'm not much of a religious man, (having been raised as a lapsed Catholic) but prayer seems to be the only way to find relief from the pressures of everyday life.

As many of you may know, I used to be an actor. I say "used to be" because it has been at least two years since I worked on a set, and I also let my AFTRA membership go bye bye. Still have my SAG membership, however I am not currently represented by a talent agent either.

Here is what I'm looking for:

-A new agent (one who "gets" me, understands my past work, and where I'd like to be in the future)
-Someone to help me put a reel together. I have all of these movies under my belt, but I never really had a clip tape. I'm lazy, and I thought my credits would be enough to get into the casting room, apparently they aren't, so I need a clip dvd.
-Two studio pictures a year, with no less than sixth billing. I don't need big parts to get big laughs, just steady enough exposure so I don't keep hearing the phrase, "So, do you still act?"
-I hate television, but would do guest roles on single camera, scripted shows. No "live" shows or half hour comedies, and no improvisation. I respect the written word, and am looking to work on fully fleshed out ideas, rather than winging it with a bunch of improv artists. Movies are not improv, although 40 Year Old Virgin was great, I'm sure there was a script. I know this is limiting, and the first thing that every potential agent says to me is, "How about tv, sitcoms, pilots, commercials or stand-up?" Most of the time I would like to say, "How about I punch you in the face with my bitter fist?" But usually I insist that this is the canvas that I like to paint on, and the arena that I had most of my success, why not continue towards that goal?
-Around 20 million dollars, so that I can retire and build a movie studio where I can write, direct, shoot and edit low budget, grindhouse pictures for the rest of my life. Maybe pumping out an art picture that "means something" every once in a while.

Is that too much to ask for?

I have tried to not be bitter like most other former child actors are, but it's getting harder and harder each and every day. I have never complained or whined much in the past, but I am ready to let success back into my life, am starting to lose my infinite patience, and am now angry at lost opportunities and past choices. What the heck does a former child actor have to do to get work in this town?

To Harry Gold, I'm sorry for letting you go at the peak of my career. I certainly shot myself in the foot with that move. When I approached you years later, you were no help. I understand you felt burned when I let you go, and I think that if I hadn't listened to Linda Brown and moved over to Innovative Artists, then you and I would still be working together, and things would be quite different than they are now. I'm sorry Harry, but I was just a kid, and I didn't know any better.

I'm looking for my next "Harry Gold". If you are out there, and if you liked my work in the past, I have grown up quite a bit, and am seeking representation.

Looking for help,

Keith Coogan

The cutest kittens in the world

So let me get this straight....

I want to be sure I understand this.

A man was convicted of lying in court about outing a CIA officer.

But she was married to a man who didn't think Iraq was a threat.

So.....

The man that broke the law gets his sentence commuted by the very President that he was working for when he broke the law.

Was the President trying to get the man that was married to the CIA officer to shut up?

Why did they do it?

Does anybody else even know what I'm talking about or even care about the implications of the whole story?

Why are we at war with Iraq?

The legal reason seems to be something about WMD's.

The same ones that the guy that was married to the CIA officer said were probably not there.

So someone discloses her identity to get him to shut up or be discredited.

We go to war as a country against Iraq because everyone is so sure that there were WMD's.

There were no WMD's.

We executed the man that was holding at least some semblance of peace and order of the region in his dictator grip.

So we find out that the man that outed the CIA officer, who was the wife of the guy that didn't think there were WMD's is busted, and then found guilty of lying and sentenced to jail and fined.

Our President then commutes his sentence so he doesn't have to do the jail time.

But didn't the lie that he told help the President get the political clout he needed to attack Iraq?

Is this an infinite loop of illogic.... or am I missing something?

Driving on a Suspended License Facts

The DMV can suspend or revoke your driver's license for many reasons, including driving under the influence, drug possession, not carrying auto liability insurance, not filing an SR1 traffic collision report after an accident, medical conditions, failure to pay child support, and other reasons.

Driving on a suspended or revoked driver's license is a misdemeanor criminal charge, and you can be arrested and taken into custody. The punishments for driving on a suspended license can include a fine of up to $1000 and up to six months in jail. If you have previous criminal traffic convictions, the fine and jail time can both be increased. You may be required to install an ignition interlock device on your car, and in some cases, the State of California may take away your car.

In the military, when you fly the American Flag upside down, or when you fly another flag above the American Flag, this is a signal that the area is compromised, in trouble, or has fallen to the "enemy". If these students do not show respect for our Flag and our customs and laws, then why should we bend over backwards to continue to provide amnesty, support, education and health coverage for anyone who does not support our country or way of life? Saint Patrick's Day is proof that just because I'm Irish, this country doesn't want to strip me of my National Identity. However, I believe Saint Patrick's Day was set down as a holiday only after the Irish were accepted into American Society. We already celebrate Cinco De Mayo, now, can we have some quid pro quo?



Quoted from article:

"I predict this stunt will be the nail in the coffin of any guest-worker/amnesty plan on the table in Washington. The image of the American flag subsumed to another and turned upside down on American soil is already spreading on Internet forums and via e-mail. Pass this along to every American citizen in your address books and to every representative in the state and federal government. If you choose to remain uninvolved do not be amazed when you no longer have a nation to call your own nor anything you have worked for left since it will be "redistributed" to the activists while you are so peacefully staying out of the "fray". Check history, it is full of nations/empires that disappeared when its citizens no longer held their core beliefs and values. One person CAN make a difference. One plus one plus one plus one plus one plus one........."

I certainly do not condone or support the use of such a number.

I'm not sure what the number is... or how to use it...

OK, so cute cats playing piano is so awesome, I wanted to show you the follow-up video! I really think this cat is trying to tell us something.

I know I usually have pictures of cute animals, however, since I play the piano, and since this cat has like over 1 million fans, I thought I'd re-post this cat's video. Is she cute or what?

"What are YOU lookin' at?



I couldn't resist posting yet another photo of a cute animal. As you all know, that's what this blog is all about. Politics, my fading acting career, and pictures of cute animals.

The creators of "Lost" have listened to their fan base. They killed off the two most annoying characters ever introduced to a running series.

Now, all apologies to the actors that played Nikki and Paulo, it was through no fault of your own that your parts were added just to annoy us "Lost" fans. Heck, I have even worked with Kylie Sanchez, Sam Anderson, and Andrew Divoff. Andrew is the nicest "Bad Guy" in the industry. Sam is a classic, and Kylie is very sweet. If I was given any role in "Lost", I would immediately take it, sight unseen, so I cannot blame any of these actors or their work for their demise on the show. (Patchy and apparently Nikki and Paulo are dead, and Rose and Bernard have been downsized) But I have to say, that when Sawyer was all, "Who the hell is Nikki?" and when a killer spider was introduced to off them... I was grinning in my cold, sick, and rotten soul. My heart kept saying, "Yes! Kill them... kill them all, now!"

All great actors. And apart from Nikki and Paul, all great roles. I do wish the best for Kylie and Rodrigo, however... it was time they went away.

Take care all, and see you next week for the next episode of "Lost"!

You could have one hell of a weekend with what's in this fridge.



The final contents of Anna Nicole's fridge are quite telling. Shoot... I knew that slim-fast stuff was bad for you, but this is just plain awful. Listen up kids... don't try to control your weight, it's really very dangerous. Oh, and a methadone addiction has its problems as well.

Australian Squirrel Monkey

In keeping with the theme of this blog (either political news and commentary or photos of cute animals), here is the first cute and furry animal of the year.

This is an Australian Squirrel Monkey, apparently clinging to some kind of a stuffed animal of a goose-like nature.

Enjoy... and Happy New Year!
