September 11 reminds us of the value of civility and tolerance (Jesus, does it), but that doesn’t mean getting all smarmy with gooey lovecakes and forgetting real political differences.

Now that the entertainment industry has gone red, white and blue, she continues to let emotion rule her. But then, what else would she go with? Her brain?
