Now Watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you? tell the truth
This famous line means allot of things to allot people. I think of meathead. If you get that reference my hat is off to you. Meathead and the bunker had many arguments about the current crook at that time.
I am told everyday that JC represents love, forgiveness, a new start. Say what you want. I don't see it. I am not saying it is not there but you have to look good and hard to see it. And I am talking about the believers, not the non believers.
All this hate the spews out of believers mouths. Is that the world we want to live in? I am not saying anything bad or judgy about JC. When believers try to emulate their savior the world is a better place.
But really is this what Jesus would do? Not the JC everyone try's to tell me about and make excuses for all the insanity.
I have a very good friend. He truly walks his walk. Today is his Sabbath until dusk, which he honors every Sabbath. Maybe, Today is the day to think about your relationship with JC.
I, being a non believer, have been told more times than I can count, I was one of the best Christians' they know. Being expressed that they wish more Christians' were like me. Take it at that. I don't know what that means.
Today I am reflecting on love, understanding and acceptance. Me, the non believer that your parents warned you about.
Sloppy Zoom
My Nikkor 18-200mm zoom turned sloppy on me, with a lot of zoom creep. Most of the time this does not bother me but sometimes it's a royal pain. My solution is to use one of those WWJD silicone wristbands. Does the tighten up quickly and cheaply.

Fleet No: '982'.
First flown with the Airbus test registration F-WWJD, this aircraft was originally destined for lease to Iberia but the lease wasn't taken up.
It was delivered to ILFC International Lease Finance Corporation and leased to Air Canada as C-FTNP in Jun-95. It was returned to ILFC in Jun-02 and leased to BWIA West Indies as 9Y-TJN two weeks later.
It suffered damage to the lower fuselage when it was hit by a truck at Port of Spain in Jul-04, it was repaired at Toulouse and returned to service in late Jul-04. BWIA was renamed Caribbean Airlines in Jan-07.
Shortly afterwards the airline decided to concentrate on services within the Caribbean & USA and the aircraft was returned to the lessor in May-07 and stored at Victorville, CA, USA.
In Aug-07 it was leased to Aerolineas Argentinas as LV-BIT. It was returned to the lessor in May-14 as N349AT and permanently retired at Goodyear, AZ, USA. The registration was cancelled in May-17.

The aircraft returned to the lessor in May-05 and was leased to Air Canada as C-FDRO in Jun-05. It was returned to ILFC in Oct-07 and had been due for lease to Air Madrid, however they ceased operations in Dec-06.
Instead, the aircraft was leased to Aerolineas Argentinal as LV-BMT in Nov-07. It was returned to ILFC in Dec-13 and was permanently retired at Goodyear, AZ, USA.

I always appreciate being able to walk to work, but there are some days I appreciate it more than others. Such days include when I hear about heavy traffic jams (and I think, god I am glad I don't have to deal with that) or days when the walk in is as effective as any cup of coffee at shaking of the vestiges of sleep, or especially those days when the weather is something to be experienced. I know a lot of people who hate the occasional snowfall we get in the city. A common thread in many of those conversations seems to be a dislike rooted in having to drive in snow. I can empathize with that. Then again, the solution I have hit upon is pretty simple and flips that script: don't drive in it, walk in it. There are few better commutes I experience in any given year than the rare days I get to walk to work in the snow. The crunch, crunch, crunch of it under my boots is sublime. I love the mini-challenge of navigating the gradual slope of a street when it is covered in ice. The biting wind and chill air on my face. I even kind of enjoy the fogging of glasses that hound me the entire time. The city sounds different on those days too. Yeah, some streets are quieter than usual, with the cold weather keeping people indoors. Then again, some streets are much louder with buses sheathed in snowchains and cars with studded tires all scraping and crunching by.
I guess at the heart of all this is a simple fact. If you look for things to hate, dislike, be annoyed or frustrated by, to grumble about or bemoan, well you will find those everywhere and anywhere. Then again, if you look for the facets to enjoy, wonder at, be amused and entertained by, engage with or just smile at, well those too can be found anywhere and everywhere.

Some things Jesus said, according to Matthew,
that Trump & his religious supporters ignore:
You have heard that it was said,
‘Love your neighbor' & 'Hate your enemy.’
BUT I tell you: LOVE YOUR ENEMIES
and pray for those who persecute you,
that you may be children of your Father in heaven.
- Jesus, Matthew 5:43-45
When the Son of Man comes in his glory,
all nations will gather before him, and he will say
[to those that cared for the disadvantaged]:
“I was a stranger (Gr.: XENOS = foreigner, immigrant, refugee)
and you invited me in;
I needed clothes and you clothed me,
food and you fed me. ….
Whatever you did to the least of these,
my brothers and sisters, You did for Me.”
Those who pleased God in this way,
will be granted eternal life with God.
BUT to those who didn’t care for the xenos,
[& the hungry, the poor, the sick, the prisoners]
he will say, “Depart from me!”
- Jesus, Matthew 25:31-46
cf. Matthew 7:21-23:
“But Lord, we preached in your Name,
& cast out demons & performed miracles!”
But I will tell them, “Get out of my sight!
I have nothing to do with you evil people!
You did not do what God wanted you to do!”
_______________________________________________
XENOS, is a Greek word. Matthew wrote his Good News about Jesus in Greek. The Greek word means stranger, alien, foreigner which includes immigrants and refugees.
Hence, the fear of foreigners--something which Trump plays on to get votes--is called XENO-phobia.

Since I’ll be away until later next week I thought I’d leave you something to reflect on. It is happening everywhere right now, all over the world. The problem of homelessness for refugees is tragically always with us. Wars and internal conflict lead to millions of displaced and homeless people every year. But there is a growth in homelessness in our relatively wealthy and peaceful cities too, and the results can also be tragic.
Several decades ago it became fashionable in psychiatric circles to close the institutions that once cared for people with severe forms of mental illness. Many of these former patients ended up on the streets. Drugs and alcohol continue to claim many too. You see them now in every large city. Some people even step over the homeless on their way to work, barely stopping to take a sip of their latte. It is awful and as I’ll show in the story of this triptych, people are dying on our streets while the comfortable complain about forgetting to put on their electric blanket. Excuse my cynicism, but truth is always more important to me than being liked. So if the truth hurts, so be it. We need a revolution in our societies at so many levels.
With hyperinflation and interest rates on the rise, real estate values getting out of hand, and people taking their houses off the rental market to turn them into even more lucrative Airbnbs, many ordinary working class people are now sleeping in tents under road overpasses (yes even in Launceston, until the local council moved them on, as they always do without any solution to the problem!), single mothers with children sleeping in cars in a freezing winter. These are people who just a few years ago would never have dreamed of being homeless.
The working poor are now a reality in our once egalitarian societies. And all the time we pay our politicians more to do less at solving our social problems. Oh but they are good at talking! And then the vast majority of the population turns into ostriches and sink their heads into the sand.
By now I’ve probably lost most of my readers. Never mind, I’m more interested in radicalizing the few who will do something. This is not about politics, Marx or Lenin (though I much prefer the message of John Lennon), Left wing or Right. I couldn’t give a damn about ideology or party loyalty. People are dying every single day in countries regardless of their political system. This is about common human decency and whether we as a race care anymore about each other. I mean look at all the empty rhetoric in the West about the poor people of Ukraine being made homeless in their millions - talk, talk, talk, and nothing done about ending the Russian aggression. Never mind as long as Wall Street doesn’t collapse.
Have we been so brainwashed completely by the narcissism that social media was designed to condition us all to, that we just carry on commenting endlessly about meaningless stuff? You may have seen the graffiti that’s been around a while now: “Shut up and shop!” Well that’s what the authorities of any political persuasion want from us right now. They’ll milk us dry of our cash and strip us from our meaningful social bonds. The pandemic taught us to be compliant, but really the process of conditioning started with the events of 9/11 and the new security measures. This has been coming for a long time. But so is the day of reckoning.
So if you’re still wondering about why I’m so angry perhaps one day I’ll show you some of the graffiti that’s spreading through our cities like wildfire. You may also have seen this painted on street walls. Just one word: ANGRY.
The reality is people are dying on our streets. So let me quickly tell you about these three photographs that I’ve tied together.
LEFT: “What’s the upside?”
This notice was hung in a tree by some local activists. The Peter referred to here is the former Premier of Tasmania who boasted about how well the economy had survived the pandemic restrictions. Well it has for the well-heeled, but the housing crisis has led to a large rise in homelessness.
CENTRE “People are dying on the streets.”
Daniel James Tommerup (1970-2021) burned to death when he caught fire cooking food on a gas stove outside Milton Hall across the street from Launceston’s Princes Square. He was part of a growing homeless community that was moved on from the city centre where they were sleeping outside an empty city building. The City Baptist Church allowed them to use the facilities at Milton Hall, but as you’ll see the result after Daniel’s tragic death is that the homeless have been moved on again and a fence has been put up with chain and lock. Given the dire state of the retail rental market there are empty shops all over town, but no room for the poor to lay their heads. What would Jesus say? WWJD?
You can read Daniel’s sad story here.

RIGHT: “Catafalque”
It’s an interesting word “catafalque”. Every Anzac Day in Australia it is mentioned in relation to the tomb of a dead soldier. The dictionary definition is as follows, “a decorated wooden framework supporting the coffin of a distinguished person during a funeral or while lying in state.”
This photograph was taken in Launceston’s City Park in the bandstand. In it is a bed for the homeless. But not a real bed (because that would have been moved on very quickly by the authorities), no it’s an art installation. The artist has designed it to reflect on the issue of the homeless, but if a real homeless person dared to lie down there it would be a problem.
This is a catafalque for the homeless, but it might, if what Peter Kingsley says is true, be a catafalque for us all. I mention Peter Kingsley in relation to his two volume work, “Catafalque: Carl Jung and the End of Humanity”, which surveys the wreck of Western civilization. Peter spares none of us in his social critique, and he would agree with me that a day of reckoning is at hand. peterkingsley.org/product/catafalque/
Have you ever read Matthew 25:31-46 in the New Testament? You might be surprised by its implications.

USA!.....We don't do Refugees....
As Thanksgiving approaches I wanted to discuss the irony of these times. You see, the Pilgrims were not referred to as ‘pilgrims’ until 1840. The stories retold in American History books have several coats of varnish by now. The passengers of the Mayflower were not headed to Jerusalem as Christian pilgrims would be expected to do; they were fleeing the bitter persecution they suffered in their own country at the hands of members of the Church of England.
They were refugees, not pilgrims.
Of late it seems that we Christians have traded in our brightly colored WWJD bracelets for darker ones emblazoned with NIMBY. I’ve read the Bible; I’ve read a whole lot of other books too. Stories are subject to interpretation. Yet anyone reading the New Testament surely comes away with the notion the Jesus was the Lion of the poor, the wretched (ratchet), and the rejected. He dined not with Kings and Queens but with beggars, prostitutes, and tax collectors. He fed the hungry, clothed the naked, and healed the sick. He told us to sell everything we own and follow Him.
In the Garden of Gethsemane, When Simon Peter raised his sword and cut off the ear of the High Priest’s slave, Jesus did not then empty his clip and finish him off. He ordered Peter to sheath the sword and He healed the wound.
It’s been popular in our history to use The Old Testament tale of Sodom and Gomorrah to condemn homosexuality as an abomination. But what Sodom and Gomorrah is really about is how we treat strangers and visitors; remember Jesus said in parable: ’Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.’
So I ask you to reflect now on those Christians at sea in 1620 fleeing other Christians and how Jesus might use parable to discuss our present day Muslims fleeing other Muslims from Syria and other distant war-torn lands. Humans with nowhere to go.
I ask you to fear not, as Jesus did not fear being handed over to certain death in the Garden of Gethsemane. To sheath the sword or holster your Glock. As our salvation lies not in this world but the next; but we will be judged by what we do this day and the next. Put that WWJD bracelet back on, pray that it does not sear the flesh of your wrist.
Suggested reading: Luke 10:25-37

Susan Sarandon
A text from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Susan Sarandon (born October 4, 1946) is an American actress. She has worked in films and television since 1969, and won an Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in the 1995 film Dead Man Walking. She had also been nominated for the award for four films before that and has received other recognition for her work. She is also noted for her social and political activism for a variety of liberal causes.
Early life
Sarandon, the eldest of nine children in a Roman Catholic[1] family, was born as Susan Abigail Tomalin in New York City, as the daughter of Leonora Marie (née Criscione) and Phillip Leslie Tomalin (26 September 1917 – 26 March 1999), who worked as an advertising executive, television producer, and nightclub singer during the big band era.[2][3] Sarandon's father was of English, Irish and Welsh ancestry, and her Italian American mother's ancestors emigrated from the regions of Tuscany and Sicily.[2][4][5] Sarandon attended Roman Catholic schools.[1] She grew up in Edison, New Jersey,[6][7] where she graduated from Edison High School in 1964. She then attended The Catholic University of America, from 1964 to 1968, and earned a BA in drama and worked with noted drama coach and master teacher, Father Gilbert V. Hartke.
[edit]Career
In 1969, Sarandon went to a casting call for the motion-picture Joe, with her then-husband Chris Sarandon. Although he did not get a part, she was cast in a major role of a disaffected teen, who disappears into the seedy underworld.[clarification needed] (The film was released in 1970). Between the years 1970 and 1972, Sarandon played Patrice Kahlman on the short-lived soap opera A World Apart, and on Search for Tomorrow, in the role of Sarah Fairbanks. She appeared in Fleur bleue (The Apprentice) (1971) and also appeared in Lady Liberty (1971), by Mario Monicelli, opposite Sophia Loren.
In 1974, she co-starred in The Front Page, with the comedy duo Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau and Lovin' Molly with Anthony Perkins. She appeared in the cult favorite musical The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975). That same year, she played the female lead in The Great Waldo Pepper, opposite Robert Redford. In 1978, Sarandon played the mother of a child prostitute, who was played by Brooke Shields, in Pretty Baby.

Her most controversial film appearance[citation needed] was in The Hunger in 1983, a modern vampire story in which she had a lesbian sex scene with Catherine Deneuve. The film was a critical and commercial flop but gained a cult following.[citation needed] Sarandon played one of the leads in the 1987 dark comedy/fantasy film The Witches of Eastwick, opposite Jack Nicholson. Sarandon starred in the 1988 film Bull Durham, which became a huge commercial and critical success. In 1989, she co-starred with Marlon Brando in A Dry White Season.
Sarandon received five Academy Award nominations, for best actress, in Atlantic City (1980), Thelma & Louise (1991), Lorenzo's Oil (1992) and The Client (1994). In 1995, she won the award for her performance in Dead Man Walking.[citation needed]
Additional performances in film include Little Women (1994), Compromising Positions, Stepmom (1998), Anywhere but Here (1999), Cradle Will Rock (1999), The Banger Sisters (2002), Shall We Dance (2004), Alfie (2004), Romance & Cigarettes (2005), Elizabethtown (2005) and Enchanted (2007).
Sarandon has appeared in two episodes of The Simpsons, one as herself ("Bart Has Two Mommies") and another as a ballet teacher, "Homer vs. Patty and Selma". She has made appearances on comedies such as Friends, Malcolm in the Middle, Mad TV, Saturday Night Live, Chappelle's Show, 30 Rock, and Rescue Me.[citation needed]
Sarandon has contributed the narration to some two dozen documentary film, many of which dealt with social and political issues;[citation needed] in addition, she has served as the presenter on many installments of the PBS documentary series, Independent Lens. In 2007, she hosted and presented Mythos, a series of lectures by the late American mythology professor Joseph Campbell.[8]
Sarandon joined the cast of the adaptation of The Lovely Bones, opposite Rachel Weisz, and appeared with her daughter, Eva Amurri, in Middle of Nowhere; both of the movies were filmed in 2007.[9][10]
In June 2010, Sarandon joined the cast of new HBO pilot The Miraculous Year. She will play the role of Patty Atwood, a Broadway director/choreographer.[11]
[edit]Personal life
Sarandon began a relationship with fellow college student Chris Sarandon, in 1964, and they married on September 16, 1967.[12] After their separation, Sarandon discussed their relationship in an interview with Cosmopolitan magazine in 1978, in which she stated "I no longer believe in marriage."[13] They divorced in 1979 and she retained Sarandon as her stage name.[14]
In the late 1970s, Sarandon had a two-year relationship with director Louis Malle, who directed her in Pretty Baby and Atlantic City.[12]
In the mid-1980s, Sarandon dated director Franco Amurri, with whom she had a daughter in 1985, actress Eva Amurri.[14]
From 1986 to 2009,[15] Sarandon was in a relationship with actor Tim Robbins, whom she met while she filmed Bull Durham. They had two sons — Jack Henry (born 1989) and Miles Guthrie (born 1992).[14]
Sarandon and Robbins often worked together on the same social and political causes. In 2006, Sarandon received the Action Against Hunger Humanitarian Award.[16] She was honored for her work as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, an advocate for victims of hunger and HIV/AIDS and a spokesperson for Heifer International. Sarandon also participates as a member of the Jury for the NYICFF, a local New York City Film Festival that is dedicated to screening films for children between the ages of 3 and 18.[17] In 2006, Sarandon and 10 of her relatives (including her then-partner Tim Robbins and her son Miles) travelled to Wales to trace her family's Welsh genealogy. Their journey was documented by the BBC Wales programme, Coming Home: Susan Sarandon.[5] In 2006, she also received the "Ragusani nel mondo" prize, since she had recently discovered her Sicilian roots, in Ragusa, Italy.
One of her favorite hobbies is playing table tennis. She is involved in a New York Table Tennis Club, Spin; a club that she frequents when she doesn't film.[18]
[edit]Political activism
Sarandon is noted for her active support of progressive and left-liberal political causes, ranging from donations made to organizations such as EMILY's List,[19] to participating in a 1983 delegation to Nicaragua sponsored by MADRE, an organization that promotes "social, environmental and economic justice."[20] Sarandon has also expressed support for various human rights causes that are similar philosophically to ideas found among the Christian left.[21]
In 1995, Sarandon was one of many Hollywood actors, directors and writers who were interviewed for the documentary The Celluloid Closet, which looked at how Hollywood films have depicted homosexuality. In 1999, she was appointed UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. In that capacity, she has actively supported the organization's global advocacy, as well as the work of the Canadian UNICEF Committee.
Susan Sarandon in April 2007
During the 2000 election, Sarandon supported Ralph Nader's run for President, serving as a co-chair of the National Steering Committee of Nader 2000.[22]
During the 2004 election campaign, she withheld support for Nader's bid, being among several "Nader 2000 Leaders" who signed a petition that urged voters to vote for Democratic Party candidate John Kerry.[23] After the 2004 election, Sarandon called for US elections to be monitored by international entities.[24]
Sarandon and Robbins both took an early stance against the 2003 invasion of Iraq, with Sarandon stating that she was firmly against the concept of the war as a pre-emptive strike.[25] Prior to a 2003 protest sponsored by the United for Peace and Justice coalition, she said that many Americans "do not want to risk their children or the children of Iraq".[26] Sarandon was one of the first to appear in a series of political ads sponsored by TrueMajority, an organization established by Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream founder Ben Cohen.[27][28] Also in 2003, Sarandon appeared in a "Love is Love is Love" commercial, which promoted the acceptance of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender individuals.
In 2004, she served on the advisory committee for the group 2004 Racism Watch.[29] She hosted a section of the Live 8 concert in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 2005. In 2006, she was one of eight women who were selected to carry in the Olympic flag at the Opening Ceremony of the 2006 Olympic Winter Games, in Turin, Italy.
Along with anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan, Sarandon took part in a 2006 Mother's Day protest, which was sponsored by Code Pink;[30] she has expressed interest in portraying Sheehan in a movie.[31] In January 2007, she appeared with Robbins and Jane Fonda at an anti-war rally in Washington, D.C. in support of a Congressional measure to withdraw U.S. forces from Iraq.[32]
In the 2008 U.S. presidential election, Sarandon and Tim Robbins campaigned[33] for John Edwards in the New Hampshire communities of Hampton,[34] Bedford and Dover.[35] When asked at We Vote '08 Kickoff Party "What would Jesus do this primary season", Sarandon said, "I think Jesus would be very supportive of John Edwards."[36]
On March 12, 2011 Susan spoke before a crowd in Madison WI during a protest[37] of Governer Scott Walker and his "Budget Repair Bill".

Vida pessoal
Susan é filha de Phillip Leslie Tomalin, que tinha ascendência irlandesa, inglesa e galesa, e de Lenora Marie Criscione, uma italiana nascida em Ragusa, Sicília. Ela cresceu numa grande família católica de nove filhos. Graduou-se em 1964 pela Edison High School e estudou na Universidade Católica da América, em Washington DC, onde bacharelou-se em Artes.
Enquanto estava na faculdade, Susan conheceu Chris Sarandon, com quem se casou em setembro de 1967. Eles se divorciaram em 1979 e ela continuou a usar "Sarandon" como seu nome artístico. Na metade dos anos 80, ela namorou o diretor italiano Franco Amurri, com quem teve uma filha, a atriz Eva Amurri. Também namorou o ator Sean Penn e o diretor Louis Malle.
Desde 1988, Sarandon vive com o ator Tim Robbins, a quem ela conheceu nas filmagens de Bull Durham. O casal teve dois filhos: Jack Henry e Miles Guthrie. Tanto ela quanto Robbins estão envolvidos em causas políticas socialistas.
No dia 23 de dezembro de 2009, o casal anunciou sua separação, publicada pela revista People.
Em 2003, Susan apareceu no comercial "Love is Love is Love", promovendo a aceitação de indivíduos gays, lésbicas e transgêneros.
Em 2005, participou do Live 8, em Edimburgo, na Escócia. Em 2006, participou da cerimônia de abertura dos Jogos Olímpicos de Inverno de 2006.
Sarandon e dez de seus parentes, incluindo Tim Robbins e seu filho Miles, viajaram para Gales para obter informações sobre a genealogia galesa de sua família. A jornada foi comentada no programa da BBC de Gales Coming Home: Susan Sarandon.

Susan Sarandon
A text from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Susan Sarandon (born October 4, 1946) is an American actress. She has worked in films and television since 1969, and won an Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in the 1995 film Dead Man Walking. She had also been nominated for the award for four films before that and has received other recognition for her work. She is also noted for her social and political activism for a variety of liberal causes.
Early life
Sarandon, the eldest of nine children in a Roman Catholic[1] family, was born as Susan Abigail Tomalin in New York City, as the daughter of Leonora Marie (née Criscione) and Phillip Leslie Tomalin (26 September 1917 – 26 March 1999), who worked as an advertising executive, television producer, and nightclub singer during the big band era.[2][3] Sarandon's father was of English, Irish and Welsh ancestry, and her Italian American mother's ancestors emigrated from the regions of Tuscany and Sicily.[2][4][5] Sarandon attended Roman Catholic schools.[1] She grew up in Edison, New Jersey,[6][7] where she graduated from Edison High School in 1964. She then attended The Catholic University of America, from 1964 to 1968, and earned a BA in drama and worked with noted drama coach and master teacher, Father Gilbert V. Hartke.
[edit]Career
In 1969, Sarandon went to a casting call for the motion-picture Joe, with her then-husband Chris Sarandon. Although he did not get a part, she was cast in a major role of a disaffected teen, who disappears into the seedy underworld.[clarification needed] (The film was released in 1970). Between the years 1970 and 1972, Sarandon played Patrice Kahlman on the short-lived soap opera A World Apart, and on Search for Tomorrow, in the role of Sarah Fairbanks. She appeared in Fleur bleue (The Apprentice) (1971) and also appeared in Lady Liberty (1971), by Mario Monicelli, opposite Sophia Loren.
In 1974, she co-starred in The Front Page, with the comedy duo Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau and Lovin' Molly with Anthony Perkins. She appeared in the cult favorite musical The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975). That same year, she played the female lead in The Great Waldo Pepper, opposite Robert Redford. In 1978, Sarandon played the mother of a child prostitute, who was played by Brooke Shields, in Pretty Baby.

Her most controversial film appearance[citation needed] was in The Hunger in 1983, a modern vampire story in which she had a lesbian sex scene with Catherine Deneuve. The film was a critical and commercial flop but gained a cult following.[citation needed] Sarandon played one of the leads in the 1987 dark comedy/fantasy film The Witches of Eastwick, opposite Jack Nicholson. Sarandon starred in the 1988 film Bull Durham, which became a huge commercial and critical success. In 1989, she co-starred with Marlon Brando in A Dry White Season.
Sarandon received five Academy Award nominations, for best actress, in Atlantic City (1980), Thelma & Louise (1991), Lorenzo's Oil (1992) and The Client (1994). In 1995, she won the award for her performance in Dead Man Walking.[citation needed]
Additional performances in film include Little Women (1994), Compromising Positions, Stepmom (1998), Anywhere but Here (1999), Cradle Will Rock (1999), The Banger Sisters (2002), Shall We Dance (2004), Alfie (2004), Romance & Cigarettes (2005), Elizabethtown (2005) and Enchanted (2007).
Sarandon has appeared in two episodes of The Simpsons, one as herself ("Bart Has Two Mommies") and another as a ballet teacher, "Homer vs. Patty and Selma". She has made appearances on comedies such as Friends, Malcolm in the Middle, Mad TV, Saturday Night Live, Chappelle's Show, 30 Rock, and Rescue Me.[citation needed]
Sarandon has contributed the narration to some two dozen documentary film, many of which dealt with social and political issues;[citation needed] in addition, she has served as the presenter on many installments of the PBS documentary series, Independent Lens. In 2007, she hosted and presented Mythos, a series of lectures by the late American mythology professor Joseph Campbell.[8]
Sarandon joined the cast of the adaptation of The Lovely Bones, opposite Rachel Weisz, and appeared with her daughter, Eva Amurri, in Middle of Nowhere; both of the movies were filmed in 2007.[9][10]
In June 2010, Sarandon joined the cast of new HBO pilot The Miraculous Year. She will play the role of Patty Atwood, a Broadway director/choreographer.[11]
[edit]Personal life
Sarandon began a relationship with fellow college student Chris Sarandon, in 1964, and they married on September 16, 1967.[12] After their separation, Sarandon discussed their relationship in an interview with Cosmopolitan magazine in 1978, in which she stated "I no longer believe in marriage."[13] They divorced in 1979 and she retained Sarandon as her stage name.[14]
In the late 1970s, Sarandon had a two-year relationship with director Louis Malle, who directed her in Pretty Baby and Atlantic City.[12]
In the mid-1980s, Sarandon dated director Franco Amurri, with whom she had a daughter in 1985, actress Eva Amurri.[14]
From 1986 to 2009,[15] Sarandon was in a relationship with actor Tim Robbins, whom she met while she filmed Bull Durham. They had two sons — Jack Henry (born 1989) and Miles Guthrie (born 1992).[14]
Sarandon and Robbins often worked together on the same social and political causes. In 2006, Sarandon received the Action Against Hunger Humanitarian Award.[16] She was honored for her work as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, an advocate for victims of hunger and HIV/AIDS and a spokesperson for Heifer International. Sarandon also participates as a member of the Jury for the NYICFF, a local New York City Film Festival that is dedicated to screening films for children between the ages of 3 and 18.[17] In 2006, Sarandon and 10 of her relatives (including her then-partner Tim Robbins and her son Miles) travelled to Wales to trace her family's Welsh genealogy. Their journey was documented by the BBC Wales programme, Coming Home: Susan Sarandon.[5] In 2006, she also received the "Ragusani nel mondo" prize, since she had recently discovered her Sicilian roots, in Ragusa, Italy.
One of her favorite hobbies is playing table tennis. She is involved in a New York Table Tennis Club, Spin; a club that she frequents when she doesn't film.[18]
[edit]Political activism
Sarandon is noted for her active support of progressive and left-liberal political causes, ranging from donations made to organizations such as EMILY's List,[19] to participating in a 1983 delegation to Nicaragua sponsored by MADRE, an organization that promotes "social, environmental and economic justice."[20] Sarandon has also expressed support for various human rights causes that are similar philosophically to ideas found among the Christian left.[21]
In 1995, Sarandon was one of many Hollywood actors, directors and writers who were interviewed for the documentary The Celluloid Closet, which looked at how Hollywood films have depicted homosexuality. In 1999, she was appointed UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. In that capacity, she has actively supported the organization's global advocacy, as well as the work of the Canadian UNICEF Committee.
Susan Sarandon in April 2007
During the 2000 election, Sarandon supported Ralph Nader's run for President, serving as a co-chair of the National Steering Committee of Nader 2000.[22]
During the 2004 election campaign, she withheld support for Nader's bid, being among several "Nader 2000 Leaders" who signed a petition that urged voters to vote for Democratic Party candidate John Kerry.[23] After the 2004 election, Sarandon called for US elections to be monitored by international entities.[24]
Sarandon and Robbins both took an early stance against the 2003 invasion of Iraq, with Sarandon stating that she was firmly against the concept of the war as a pre-emptive strike.[25] Prior to a 2003 protest sponsored by the United for Peace and Justice coalition, she said that many Americans "do not want to risk their children or the children of Iraq".[26] Sarandon was one of the first to appear in a series of political ads sponsored by TrueMajority, an organization established by Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream founder Ben Cohen.[27][28] Also in 2003, Sarandon appeared in a "Love is Love is Love" commercial, which promoted the acceptance of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender individuals.
In 2004, she served on the advisory committee for the group 2004 Racism Watch.[29] She hosted a section of the Live 8 concert in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 2005. In 2006, she was one of eight women who were selected to carry in the Olympic flag at the Opening Ceremony of the 2006 Olympic Winter Games, in Turin, Italy.
Along with anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan, Sarandon took part in a 2006 Mother's Day protest, which was sponsored by Code Pink;[30] she has expressed interest in portraying Sheehan in a movie.[31] In January 2007, she appeared with Robbins and Jane Fonda at an anti-war rally in Washington, D.C. in support of a Congressional measure to withdraw U.S. forces from Iraq.[32]
In the 2008 U.S. presidential election, Sarandon and Tim Robbins campaigned[33] for John Edwards in the New Hampshire communities of Hampton,[34] Bedford and Dover.[35] When asked at We Vote '08 Kickoff Party "What would Jesus do this primary season", Sarandon said, "I think Jesus would be very supportive of John Edwards."[36]
On March 12, 2011 Susan spoke before a crowd in Madison WI during a protest[37] of Governer Scott Walker and his "Budget Repair Bill".

Vida pessoal
Susan é filha de Phillip Leslie Tomalin, que tinha ascendência irlandesa, inglesa e galesa, e de Lenora Marie Criscione, uma italiana nascida em Ragusa, Sicília. Ela cresceu numa grande família católica de nove filhos. Graduou-se em 1964 pela Edison High School e estudou na Universidade Católica da América, em Washington DC, onde bacharelou-se em Artes.
Enquanto estava na faculdade, Susan conheceu Chris Sarandon, com quem se casou em setembro de 1967. Eles se divorciaram em 1979 e ela continuou a usar "Sarandon" como seu nome artístico. Na metade dos anos 80, ela namorou o diretor italiano Franco Amurri, com quem teve uma filha, a atriz Eva Amurri. Também namorou o ator Sean Penn e o diretor Louis Malle.
Desde 1988, Sarandon vive com o ator Tim Robbins, a quem ela conheceu nas filmagens de Bull Durham. O casal teve dois filhos: Jack Henry e Miles Guthrie. Tanto ela quanto Robbins estão envolvidos em causas políticas socialistas.
No dia 23 de dezembro de 2009, o casal anunciou sua separação, publicada pela revista People.
Em 2003, Susan apareceu no comercial "Love is Love is Love", promovendo a aceitação de indivíduos gays, lésbicas e transgêneros.
Em 2005, participou do Live 8, em Edimburgo, na Escócia. Em 2006, participou da cerimônia de abertura dos Jogos Olímpicos de Inverno de 2006.
Sarandon e dez de seus parentes, incluindo Tim Robbins e seu filho Miles, viajaram para Gales para obter informações sobre a genealogia galesa de sua família. A jornada foi comentada no programa da BBC de Gales Coming Home: Susan Sarandon.
Susan Sarandon é também uma amiga próxima de Julia Roberts.

Note: Homily for the Gospel of the 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Mark 10:46-52
Subject: Spiritual Blindness is a Choice
Once my wife and I were attending a Mass, at the Paraclete book store in downtown Salt Lake City. On this occasion, an individual was sitting in front of us. His appearance was un-kept, and his mental state was questionable. On the floor beside him was a brown paper lunch bag. This would be an unimportant detail if weren’t for the fact…that the bag kept moving. Inside the paper sack was a bird in distress. The individual was asked to set the bird free before the Mass was completed.
Now, you are probably thinking what does this have to do with our Gospel reading….hang on!
The great western philosopher, Plato, states that “most of us live in a dimly lit cave amid shadowy reflections.” He went on to state that it is possible to leave the cave and see the light.
Imagine with me now, as I weave our Gospel reading about Bartimaeus, with my story of the paper sack and Plato’s cave.
Each of these situations, require an action, a movement…that begins with a choice. Bartimaeus, could have remained quiet as the crowds hushed him, the sparrow in the bag could have remained quiet (for an uncertain future)…and we can remain quietly in our own thoughts-a cave of our own making.
We live in anxious times and everyone appears on guard. We are constantly bombarded with negative news; such as the Church’s sexual abuse scandal, the bad behavior of our politicians, or the plight of those who struggle on the margins of our world. What about our personal struggles such as the simple challenges of our daily commute into work, those asking us for money, or those who we know that struggle with substance abuse. In such an environment, our culture would have us become concerned only about ourselves; our own safety, our own happiness, and our own interests. And yet, we are still called by Jesus, against such noises from the crowds, the thoughts in our heads, and the shadows appearing on the wall, to step out with him…and see as God sees.
Remember a while back there was a popular phrase that was imprinted on bracelets, rings and cards…WWJD? This may seem like a piece of Christian pop-culture history, but the question What Would Jesus Do?” is as valid Now as it was then. We are confronted day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute and second by second to make decisions about what is right and what is wrong. Do I now step out of the cave of my own understanding or do I remain within the cave of my own understanding? Do I hear Jesus and respond like Bartimaeus? This question WWJD seems like a perfect formation tool to help us respond quickly when speed is necessary to making a choice when we hear the call to follow Jesus.
In his book, Tales of Wonder Adventures, Chasing the Divine, Huston Smith shares a story of two friends: Christopher and Martin (who) “walked from Los Angeles to Ukiah (a distance of 800 miles), which, since they prostrated after every third step, (and it) took them three years.” They showed that the epic feats of ancient Buddhist pilgrims in Asia could be done in the America of today. After there long journey was completed Huston asked “Christopher what he learned from those three years. “Not much,” he answered., “Perhaps just this: When I feel some urge, it does not push me immediately into action. I experience an extra split second of inner distance, and in that spilt second I can decide whether to act or not.” Christophers’ answer was modest, but isn’t that the definition of freedom?” Huston continues in his book to state that “We are free when we are not the slave of our impulses, but rather their master. Taking inward distance, we thus become the authors of our own dramas rather than characters in them.”
Bartimaeus could have held tightly to his cloak and to the safety of his familiar life and remained forever hidden in the community as the blind man, but in that so important split second…he moved…
He kept crying out “Jesus, son of David, have pity on me.” “Jesus, son of David, have pity on me.” “Jesus, son of David, have pity on me.”
Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.”
The disciples called him and said “Take Courage; get up, he is calling you.” Bartimaeus, threw aside his cloak, sprang up and came to Jesus.
Isn’t it interesting, the crowd who once tried to hush him have flipped their position and are now supporting the courage of Bartimaeus. His action, to move, also moves those around him...as it obviously moves us too.
Jesus continues to speak to Bartimaeus: “What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man replies: “Master I want to see.” Jesus replies: “Go your way; your faith has saved you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed him on the way. Not only has Bartimaeus, received his sight because he “moved” into action, he has also received his spiritual sight.
What is our take way, from this beautiful Gospel reading?
When one person freely chooses to follow Jesus, by way of entering a relationship with him, that person not only receives their spiritual sight, but the path before them opens up to a new world of possibilities. We leave the comforts of our cave and step into the light. We know, that Bartimaeus, received his sight and followed Jesus on the way. Jesus, tells us that he is the way, the truth and the life. He also asks us to “take up our own crosses and follow him.” Within this mysterious journey, I conclude with a passage from Isaiah, 42:16:
I will lead the blind on their journey;
By paths unknown I will guide them.
I will turn darkness into light before them,
And make crooked ways straight.

I have always believed the mind is very powerful, and how you feel emotionally plays a big part in how you preform physically. So I think anything that makes you feel this great has to be good for you. Stoner's are usually thought of as lazy and forgetful, however, Marijuana is a stimulant and in my experince it premotes concentration, creativity, joy, kindness, passiveness, a sence of well being and a positive attitude. It can relieve pain, settle your stomach, and make you giggle at the same time. I never spent the early morning hours throwing up cause I smoked to much, or freaked out withdrawing cause i couldnt get any. but i have met alot of kind people passing joints. And I have seen the joy on faces young and old alike, from all classes and walks of life while they puff...., puff...., and pass. D.V.J

A bestselling novel by the Irish-born cardinal Nicholas Patrick Wiseman, "Fabiola, or the Church of the Catacombs" (1854), widely translated, was Alexander Falguière's immediate source. In the novel, the teenage acolyte Tarcisius is conveying the Host along the Appian Way when he is confronted by pagan playmates who order him to reveal it. He refuses and they stone him. Here the fallen martyr exhibits a bloodied forehead as well as an expression of beatific rapture as he clutches the holy wafer in his arms, faithful to the end. The fatal paving stones lie at his elbow.
Like St. Theresa by Bernini this expression can be read on several levels, sorry I take these things with a big pinch of disbelief. Often in our R.C. mythology spiritual ecstasy is linked with physical ecstasy and both can only be achieved by gross physical pain. WWJD, not I think encourage a child to be stoned to death to protect a piece of bread.
