Jesus Christ....Dennis Hopper in the Pentagon?? new show
http://tv.yahoo.com/tvpdb?d=tvi&cf=0&id=1808685180


another classic from Jerry Bruckheimer

"This hour-long drama is set inside the nation's ultimate fortress: the Pentagon. It's a hub of highly explosive conflicts between American military heroes and the civilians to whom they report -- a world where crises can escalate into life-and-death climaxes, for individuals or entire nations. Critical decisions by intelligence officers in the war room -- and the execution of these decisions by covert special ops on the battlefield -- happen every day. The number-one mission is survival of the state, an often-delicate balance between protecting the homeland and protecting either all of mankind or the life of a lone soldier."

a woman's place is in the home. There's a shapely blond female officer who's just been assigned to his Joint Chiefs' task force and, finally, a gruff but benign Adjutant General played by Dennis Hopper who is still bitter about Vietnam.

4. West Wing in the Pentagon...
It's formula...Replace Martin Sheen and Rob Lowe with Dennis Hopper and Benjamin Bratt.

5. I would have worried a lot more...........
around 30 years ago. He's actually quite harmless now, he learned that you cannot constantly burn the candle at both ends and survive.

18. I drive by it every day. It's all still there.
Ever visit the Teddy Roosevelt monument? It's a peaceful and seldom trafficked place. Needs a good cleanup a bit more often than it gets...but very nice and just across the way from the Marine Corps monument...one of my favorites just b.c. it's not so crowded.

21. Currently just south of Takoma Park (DC Metro)
Close to Walter Reed.

I work by the Courthouse in Arlington. We want to move closer to my current work. Problem is that we cannot find decent employment. I work for a small firm that cannot afford to pay me very much. Life's a drag.

22. Hopper is a good actor and artist, but he is a huge * supporter.
His family are all Dems and think he is crazy. He's also pretty close friends with Viggo Mortensen who is definitely one of us. I was very disappointed when I learned he was a Bushbot - voted for him both times. He's quite open about his politics.
