Congrats Javero!
If you were recuperating in a hospital, who would you want in the bed next to you, excluding relatives? Ans. Thandie Newton or Catherine Zeta-Jones (gotta thing for foreign accents, especially from the UK)
What has given you the most pleasure in the last year?
Ans. Receiving an e-mail reply from White House press corps gadfly Helen Thomas about her rousing appearance on Bill Maher’s cable series last season.
What's something that we would be surprised to learn about you?
Ans. I prefer to be called “colored” to African American or black; loathe all things hip-hop; feel that femininity is the height of womanhood and on the wane in the US; would support Bill O’Reilly for US president on an indie ticket, and detest Shaun Hannity with a passion.
If your house were on fire, what would you grab on the way out?
Ans. My baritone ukulele (Linus had his blanket LOL)
If we asked an important person in your life to describe you, what would he or she say? How accurate would it be? Ans. I’m a self-starter, independent thinker and staunch defender of individual rights without being preachy. Also, I’m extremely generous to children and humble people but at times harsh to men that exploit or abuse women and children (some are former friends of mine).
What’s something that you’ve never done, but have always wanted to try? Ans. Water ski & travel throughout Europe train.
What’s the last great gift that you gave someone?
Ans. I convinced my condo association to make a rental unit available to a family dislocated by Hurricane Katrina last year at no charge for 4 months.
And, that you were given?
This acknowledgement as Celebrity of the Day because I really don’t seek any sort of accolades here. I simply enjoy the interaction with some really sharp minds that are in tune with both earth-shattering and banal events that transpire throughout the day.
#FactsMatter...your feelings not so much.
