LILY TOMLIN?

Above is Lily Tomlin as Ernestine, a telephone operator.

For some reason I have yet to understand, Lily Tomlin is having a reception for the DFL on Saturday.

When I think of Lily Tomlin, the movie "9 to 5" comes to mind. Tomlin's character Violet, accidently puts rat poision in Mr. Hart's (Violet's boss) coffee. In the movie it's funny that Mr. Hart, played by Dabney Coleman, almost drank the poisioned coffee because he is a "sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot"

In my quest to learn more about Tomlin, I found this quote:

"We smoked some paraquat-free Panama Red. Bob gave me a Shiatsu massage. He knew I had seminar stiffness. We made love, and then talked into the night about futurism and ending world hunger through tofu consciousness. We made love again. We talked until dawn exchanging Patty Hearst theories. By morning, we were in love."

Ending world hunger through tofu consciousness?

BTW: If the DFL brings Dabney Coleman to town, I will pay big money to attend his event. He starred in one of my favorate films "Cloak & Dagger", playing super-spy Jack Flack and Davey's stuck-up Dad Hal Osborne.
