Civic Participation

Jake didn't stump like he did for Kerry back in the day.  But he did speak his mind on democracy and who he was voting for before the election.

Jake called into the Stephanie Miller show (Current TV) on yesterday and shared his thoughts and feelings about the civic responsibility.

And this weekend Jake is doing something else to give back to those ho serve the US through military service.

Jake will join  F. Murray Abraham, Francois Battiste, Marylouise Burke, Adam Driver, France McDormand, Michael Shannon, David Strathain and others on Veterans'/Armistice Day for a free performance for the military and their family through Arts in the Armed Forces.

Arts in the Armed Forces will present a free performance for the  at 8 PM at the Lucille Lortel Theatre.

It will be an evening of staged reading of selected monologues from contemporary American Plays.

"Arts in the Armed Forces was co-founded by Joanne Tucker and Adam Driver to "bridge the gap between the military and the performing arts communities by producing a series of free performances of monologues, scenes, staged readings and music, for a mixed military and civilian audience."

Voting Booth Review

This is not Jake

Now he might vote for Mitt you never know.

But Jake....

Well everyone knows the answer to that

Right Big Guy?

Let's review

Jake is not a fan of this Bush

But looks like he kinda is of this one

And the only Mitt he's going to get behind is this one.

Weekending or beginning

To sum up Austin x AUS10

1 Man,  3 Days, 7 stages, over a hundred bands and getting recognized by fans - this is what you get

Austin shows you can go home again - and - have a good time.

Just have to wonder what he did Sunday - did he stay for Red Hot Chili Pepper and Iggy and the Stooges and just not tweet it or did his  weekend start too.

Who says the weekend can't start on Sunday?


Speaking of the weekender - think he's firm on where he stand  inside the voting booth,  and why.

On the political theme, we find out now that Jake did workshop the play Farragut North when he was in New York last year, which shows that there was some serious consideration of the part. Jake opted for other projects and the play has been recast with another JG, Mr. John Gallagher Jr.

It opened its debut run at the Atlantic Theater Company on October 22 and goes through November 29th.

In the movie version George Clooney's heading up looks like Leo DiCaprio will be playing Stephen the wunderkind press secretary in the midst of a a tight Presidential race, whose "meteoric rise falls prey to the backroom politics of more seasoned operatives, and his one night stand with a teenage staffer proves to be more complicated than casual. " You wonder if Jake felt he couldn't do two roles which such similarities of morality and politics . The one he took of course was Nailed, and we will have to see if his choice will pay off in the end.

Speaking of Nailed, we get little more information, this time from Jessica Biel.

Jessica Biel talking about Nailed

Q: Is it true that your next role is playing a woman who goes sex mad because she has a nail in her head?

JB: "Yeah due to the nail being in her head she experiences rage, she experiences extreme passionate motivation, wanting to get this goal, and then getting really motivated about it. She goes through very crazy, aggressive sexual behaviour."

Q: So you play a bit of a nymphomaniac?

JB: "Not quite, but I guess it's along those lines. She just starts to get really uncontrollably excited about like a lamppost (laughs). It could be any inanimate object but for some reason that is turning her on at that moment and then she races you know, and it kind of goes back and forth."

Q: I assume you're still sticking to your policy of no nudity in the film? I heard you picked out your own body double for Nailed.

JB: "Yeah I did pick out my own body double. That was bizarre, that was very bizarre. It's very hard to be a woman and sort of be looking at women kind of like they're just objects. I was like, ‘I'm kind of having a male experience right now.' It was weird. It wasn't the best thing I've ever done. Anyway, I actually didn't stick to that policy in this other film I did called Powder Blue.


From Jake and Austin's participation in the past and present we know who they supported in the race and again pretty much be assured their position on Prop 8 in California. But that's not the most important part. It's that they voted.

GO VOTE.
