Little known fact–there was a brief stage in my childhood when I wanted to be a nun.  I gave it up when I discovered that nuns only fly on television.  But I’ve had a love affair with Sally Field ever since and she gets major kudos for her anti-war rant at the Emmys last night.  Unfortunately, the ever paranoid folks at Fox saw fit to censor Ms. Field:

“Accepting her Emmy on Sunday night for lead actress in a drama series (”Brothers and Sisters”), Field stumbled halfway through, lost her train of thought, screeched at the audience to stop applauding so she could finish talking — and then was bleeped by Fox censors as she stammered through an anti-war rant.

“And, let’s face it, if the mothers ruled the war, there would be no (expletive) wars in the first place,” Field said, but Fox cut away for much of her comment.”
