In a video interview with the Wall Street Journal in an article published January 2, 2008, Shirley MacLaine explains that "aliens" do not like to be called "aliens".  They prefer to be called "star beings" because as she explains they are our cosmic brothers and sisters!  It's interesting isn't it that space aliens (oops!  sorry - star beings) have the same politically-correct sensibilities as liberals? We always knew their heads were in the clouds!
