Tom Cruise may benefit from Prozac

Random thoughts:
What's up with Tom Cruise? I think he'd benefit from some Prozac.
While it's just my opinion, I don't think he's exactly in the best position to be going off on any kind of tirade about psychiatry or psychiatric medications.
I mean, have you seen him lately? His behavior is, at best, very strange.
The man can't seem to sustain any relationship with a partner. And when he changes girlfriends, he apparently feels the need to hold a press conference. (Right after that press conference, he calls another one to complain about how the press is invading his privacy.)
And, of course, there was the Oprah couch incident. Surely you saw the news clips. Did he look sane to you?
I didn't see the Matt Lauer Today Show interview, but I saw many snippets after the fact. Poor Matt. It must be difficult to interview such a self-absorbed, self-imposed expert – particularly one who needs to be medicated.
Cruise is entitled to his opinion. So are others. What works for some doesn't always work for everyone.
I love the Niles Chamber's annual fireworks display, try my best to go every year. And it gets better and better every year.
This year's display is Sunday, July 3, at dusk. Rain date is Monday, July 4.
When you go, please make sure to donate generously to those who are taking parking donations. The money will help fund next year's display.
Here's hoping for an excellent summer night - weatherwise.
Tickets are on sale now for the Friday, July 22, Spaghetti Dinner at the Niles Eagles Lodge. The event is being hosted by the Eagles Ladies Auxiliary and proceeds will go to benefit the Niles-Buchanan YMCA new building project fund. The dinner will be served from 5:30 to 8 p.m. and tickets are $6.50.
Get yours soon, because only 200 will be sold. I happen to know the spaghetti sauce will be homemade and very meaty. Dinner includes salad and garlic bread.
Get your tickets now by calling the YMCA at 683-1552 or the Eagles at 683-5252.
Have a safe and happy July 4 holiday. Remember, we won't publish a Daily Star on Monday. Our offices will be closed so our employees can enjoy the day with family and friends. We'll re-open on Tuesday at 8 a.m.
