Indy and the celebs

The hottest, most humid weather in "Indy 500" history... so they say. We had a ton of celebrities, but we weren't very good at getting their pictures.

Olivia Newton John

He is not afraid to tell it like it is: "No feature of the Obama presidency has been sadder than its constant efforts to divide us, to curry favor with some Americans by castigating others."




He also has a pretty funny way with words: "Our morbidly obese federal government needs not just behavior modification but bariatric surgery."




And my favorite: "We Hoosiers hold to some quaint notions. Some might say we 'cling' to them, though not out of fear or ignorance. We believe in paying our bills. We have kept our state in the black throughout the recent unpleasantness, while cutting rather than raising taxes, by practicing an old tribal ritual - we spend less money than we take in."



We're pretty proud of him, even if he wouldn't answer the call to run for president.
DSCN6441 And now we go from a convervative genius to a liberal wingnut. This is the only one we got of Ashley Judd, but you can go here and see more pictures (start at picture 18). I like her as an actress, but Ashley Judd is officially a flake (which, I guess, could describe a lot of people in Hollywood). She is all over the "right" because we don't want to give women free rein to kill babies (even if it is currently out of vogue to have a little girl). But if you go to this link you'll see she sure loves those dogs. So much so that on one of her husband's biggest days in his life, she sticks the the animals front and center. Seriously? Her husband, Dario Franchitti, earned $2.47 million from an overall purse of more than $13 million for winning the race this year. DSCN6445 Admiral James A. Winnefeld, Jr., the Second Highest Ranking Officer in the United States Armed Forces.DSCN6404 DSCN6428 DSCN6413 DSCN6390 DSCN6393 DSCN6383 DSCN6382 DSCN6378 DSCN6377DSCN6375DSCN6371DSCN6370"br clear="all">DSCN6349
