I saw that dude in Syracuse many, many years ago. My Uncle took me with his family. Now, I love my uncle. He's a great man and a father figure to me.

That said, I've never seen such a spectacle of foolishness in my short 36 years. I walked out of that place with my mind blown. I remember thinking that everyone there has lost their damn mind. A kid next to me looked at me with feverish eyes and declared his love for Bible Man. And went on to speak of the growing fight for Christianity. And when it came time to give....oh how the cash flowed.

I love my uncle dearly, but my admiration dropped a touch for him. I couldn't/can't fathom the fact he bought into all that.

I never, ever knew who it really was....mind blown. I loved Charles in Charge!!!

By Kendall Breitman

Chachi loves Walker.

Scott Baio — who played Chachi Arcola in “Happy Days” and its spinoff “Joanie Loves Chachi,” as well as the protagonist of “Charles in Charge” — tweeted his praise for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who is mulling a presidential run in 2016.

“Gov. Walker sounds a lot like President Reagan. #WalkerFor Pres,” the tweet read, with a picture of the actor posing alongside Walker.

Walker tweeted back Wednesday, writing: “Thanks! We both love Reagan, I’m flattered,” along with the hashtag #ChachiandWalkerLoveReagan.

This is not the first time that Baio, a registered Republican, has offered support to a politician. In 2012, he endorsed Mitt Romney in his run for the presidency and donated $5,000 to Romney’s primary and general election campaigns. (He also donated $12,500 to the Republican National Committee in the 2012 cycle.) In 2014, Baio donated $500 to the campaign of Tony Strickland, a Republican who ultimately lost his bid to succeed Buck McKeon in California’s 25th Congressional District.

Baio is an outspoken conservative, at least by Hollywood standards. He attended the state funeral of President Ronald Reagan and said he received death threats in 2010 after tweeting a picture of first lady Michelle Obama with the comment, “WOW He wakes up to this every morning.”

Conservatives need all the celebrities they can get on their side ..and they don't get many.

Let them have Chachi. And Victoria Jackson, and Kirk Cameron. You know..all the greats.

Erin Moran Homeless: 'Happy Days' Star Broke And Living Like A Recluse (REPORT)

Former "Happy Days" star Erin Moran has had a rough year.

The actress, who shot to stardom as Joanie Cunningham, was kicked out of the trailer park where she lived in September, and has now become a recluse holed up in an Indiana hotel room where she's writing a book about her life, reports RadarOnline.

Sources tell the website that the 52-year-old has been staying in various hotels after being bounced from the trailer park she was forced to move into after reportedly going broke and being evicted from her California home in June. Moran was living in a trailer with her husband, Steve Fleischmann, and his 72-year-old mother -- who she allegedly got into a drunken brawl with in early October.

"Erin thinks the best thing for her at the moment is to just stay in," a source told the website of her new reclusive lifestyle.

"She’s working on an autobiography, which she hopes will help her settle some debts she has. Every time she ventures out, whether it’s to a bar to grab a drink or even to the supermarket for some groceries, Erin seems to land in hot water," the source explained to RadarOnline.

I wonder if her co-stars Henry Winkler and Ron Howard have tried to help her in any way.

Such a sad story.

Must be in his genes...

Not fair to Erin though... But seems like he now wants to be part of the crowd that fits the stereotype more though...
