...I'm okay with being REALITY-based.

You've GOT to be Kidding Me.

Thanks to maru for this one:

The baseball Hall of Fame has canceled a
15th anniversary celebration of the film "Bull
Durham," and the shrine's president said it was
because of anti-war criticism by co-stars Tim
Robbins and Susan Sarandon.

[...]

Petroskey, a former White House assistant
press secretary under Ronald Reagan, said
recent comments by the actors "ultimately
could put our troops in even more danger."

...THAT WAS THE IDIOT PART...
HERE'S THE GOOD PART:

Reached Wednesday night, Robbins said
he was "dismayed" by the decision. He
responded with a letter he planned to send
to Petroskey, telling him: "You belong with
the cowards and ideologues in a hall of
infamy and shame."

Robbins tells Petroskey off even more... one of my favorite lines being "I didn't realize baseball was a Republican sport." You go, Tim.
