Miley Cyrus, Mindy McCready and Roger Clemens take center stage

What’s the big deal about the Vanity Fair photo’s of Miley Cyrus?
Is it because the talented, yet provocative Annie Leibowitz took the shots?
Or are the photo’s just marketing on the part of the Cyrus family?
Not two weeks ago, I commented on the racey photo’s of Miley Cyrus that were circulating on the Internet.  Photo’s of [...]

Jena 6: finally, a measure of justice

Caught a quick blurb that a man from the Jena, LA, area plead guilty to federal charges related to the hanging of nooses on September 20, 2007.
At first, I thought it was related to the hanging of the nooses on the tree reportedly reserved “for whites only” at the Jena high.  That incident resulted in a school-yard brawl that [...]

Rev. Jeremiah Wright wows them at the National Press Club

Are you satisfied with the explanation given by Rev. Jeremiah Wright in his recent interview with Bill Moyers and during the Q&A before the National Press Club?

 
Yes, it’s very clear the media got him wrong

 
What’s the difference? Is anyone going to believe him or Obama?

 
Who cares? I intend to embrace mediocrity by voting for Hillary.

 
No, [...]

Hillary Clinton projected to take Pennsylvania Primary

It was expected but it’s disappointing nonetheless.
Hillary appears to have won pennsyltucky.  But by only 6 percentage points.  Two months ago, she was expected to win it by at least 15%.
Ah, well.  At least I no longer have to operate a phone bank out of my house.  Hate getting those calls; don’t much like making [...]

Rumor mongering idiot endorses Hillary Clinton, et al.

“The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, owned and published by Richard Mellon Scaife, endorsed Hillary Clinton as the Democratic presidential nominee Sunday. Scaife personally funded many of the investigations that led to President Clinton’s impeachment in 1998.”
This is also the same guy who is credited with starting the “Hillary killed Vince Foster” rumors, among others.
Bruce Springsteen - whose [...]

Flag-onfloor socio-art project causes big flap

From Waterville, Maine’s newspaper, the Morning Sentinel at http://morningsentinel.com
“FARMINGTON — For the third day in a row, a student art project centered around the American flag sparked emotions in this college community, drawing town and university residents into another day of peaceful but intense contention.

Hillary and Obama mix it up at Messiah College

Last night was the big “values” discussion at Messiah College just southwest of Harrisburg, Pennsyltucky.
Yeah, that’s the same Messiah College that produced the likes of Monica Goodling of Alberto Gonzales fame.  And the same Messiah College that found itself defending itself against newpaper articles questioning whether one of its main purposes was the granting of [...]

What the taxman don’t take, the oilman does

Overall, except for the continuing saga of the male prostitute hiring county commissioner, errr…  make that former county commissioner, Bruce Barclay, the day was pretty decent.
Decided Sauerkraut needs a companion.
So it was decided to get a dog.  Yeah, you read that correctly:  a dawg.  A smallish perky dawg.  One that Sauerkraut ran and hid from [...]

Cheerleader beating update: judge issues gag order

 
A Florida newspaper is reporting that the lawyer for Zachary Ashley, one of the two males who are accused of acting as lookouts for the 6 girls who beat the stuffing out of a 16 y.o. Lakeland, Florida girl, claims there is too much pretrial publicity for his client to get a fair trial.
Not a [...]
