O.J. Simpson Is A Stumbly, Fall-Down Drunk / Jossip
O.J. Simpson Is A Stumbly, Fall-Down Drunk / Jossip:
I guess you never really do get away with murder, while the justice of man is imperfect, there are higher and more perfect forms of justice. I can understand that it would be hard to look yourself in the face every day knowing that you killed your ex-wife.
"O.J. Simpson has been hitting the bottle since he was tricked into
semi-confessing to double-murder last year with his “If I Did It” book project.
Simpson was at The Ivy in Aventura, Fla., the other night “falling all over
himself and couldn’t stand up, even though he tried several times,” said our
disgusted spy. “He started screaming for everyone in the restaurant to go with
him to Mansion [in Miami]. I don’t think anyone took him up on it.”"

Celebrity News: Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady To Split Up - Pop Fix:
If they do split up, being rich and hot should make it easier for her to find a new man. What's Leo doing these days?
"The Brazilian supermodel is said to be extremely upset that her American
footballer boyfriend's ex, actress Bridget Moynahan, is due to give birth to his
son on Friday (20.07.07), the same date as Gisele's 27th birthday.
Tensions are said to be so strained between the couple that Tom's family
are flying out to Italy to spend time with him at the Rome villa Gisele recently
bought.
The couple were recently reported to have fought openly in front
of fellow guests at Napa's five-star Auberge du Soleil hotel where they were
holidaying."

AA Counselor John Sundahl Talks Britney Spears Dumping Pop Crunch:
Sounds like she isn't the rock that he thought she was. I have to wonder if he had never left the house before, hadn't he seen how she had shaved her head, how she had abused an innocent car with an umbrella, or how she forgets her underwear? I don't know how she could be any one's rock.
"“Britney told me she loved me- and I was foolish enough to believe
her,” wealthy AA counselor John Sundahl in a new issue of The National Enquirer.
“I let my emotions take over my business savvy,” the thirty-eight year old
says. “Britney’s just a kid- and I got into something I shouldn’t have.”
“Britney said she was in love with me. We were having sex. I truly cared for
her,” he said. "

Celebrity News!: Britney Spears' Sex Toy Bodyguard - into GOSSIP.:
Oh my god look at that, her body guard did sell sex toys on the internet (yeah I knew that when I made that last Britney post). The gay body guard, and the only reason I mention that is the rumors that she was ridding his pony, has a boy friend called Sam. While he says that he is tickled (tickled?) by all the attention he wants to focus on his job of taking care of Britney and the kids. I think that means that he is working on a reality show as we speak.

Amanda Bynes Is the New Lindsay Lohan
I’m Not Obsessed: Amanda Bynes Is the New Lindsay Lohan
Ok so maybe Rumer isn't going to be the next Paris. I have seen a movie with Amanda Bynes in it and she is a good actress. If she is going to be the new Lindsay Lohan I hope she has learned for Lohan's mistakes, of course it would make my job funner if she hasn't.
"Amanda Bynes is the new Lindsay Lohan…minus the whole rehab, unprofessional
thing. Alright, so they have absolutely nothing in common except for the fact
that I think Amanda resembles Lindsay in these pictures. I actually did a double
take when I first saw them because I thought somebody had accidentally labeled a
set of L.L. photos as Amanda Bynes. Is it just me, or do these two look alike
when they’re both wearing sunglasses?"

"As if being genetically blessed weren't enough, Gisele Bundchen can now boast
that she's also the richest maiden in the land. The Brazilian supermodel came in
at number one on Forbes.com's 2007 list of The Top Earning Models in the World.
Her earnings of $33 million dollars easily dwarfed the income of her
second-place competitor, Kate Moss, whose $9 million dollar intake seemed
comparatively paltry. "

A source close to Jen said, “The most

That really blew Jen away! Although she’s reluctant to admit it, the fact that
Brad still loves her gives her new hope that they can at least have a close

Britney and her mom have been having problems for some time, but it turns out that according to reports to Star Magazine the restraining order was issued as a result of a knock down drag out fight between Britney and her mom. This happened in the middle of June, when Lynne came to Britney's and demanded that she be able to take the kids.
"'Lynne barged into the house and insisted on taking the kids out to spend some
private time with them,' an insider told the tab. 'She didn't ask or suggest,
she demanded!' says the insider. 'Then she began denigrating Britney's mothering

A Socialite's Life: CSI Actor Goes Ape Shit on Photographer
I can see him putting out a Britney style letter to the photographer in the future. Yeah sorry about that onetime I beat your ass, I was trying for a part of a man who acts like a dick to photographer because he is on TV as a cop. Well you see this guy forgets that he isn't a cop in real life and he beats photographers and then chases them around town. I know I take my roles seriously and I am sorry that I let this one get out of control. Unfortunately I got the part. (I hope he gets some time in the clink for this behavior). I mean really Warrick, I love you man but you can't be a dick like that to people.
"Recently, one of TMZ's photographers got attacked by Gary Dourdan, star of
'CSI' just outside Hollywood nightclub, Hyde. Dressed in a full-on leather biker
ensemble, Dourdan grabbed the cameraman, throwing him to the pavement, while the
whole incident was caught on tape. Dourdan allegedly parked his Ducati
motorcycle just outside Hyde, and began yelling at the photog to 'get that
f**king camera out of my face!' At that point, the photographer shifted his
camera's aim toward the ground, but was still reportedly attacked by Dourdan,
despite the cries of other paparazzi urging Gary to stop slamming the man's head
to the pavement. "

While it is easy to write things like this off as the price of being famous, it is still something that is hard to deal with when it happens.

slip but she was also seen flirting with a new guy. His name is Tyler Atkins,
he's 4 years younger than her and a 't-shirt designer'. I doubt we will see more

enjoying her freedom."

"Laugh Factory owner Jamie Masada, who witnessed the assault, said, “Jon picked
Andy up by the head and smashed him into the bar four or five times, and blood
started pouring out of his nose.” Lovitz told Page Six, “All the comedians are
glad I did it because this guy is a [bleep]hole.”
Last year, Lovitz related,
a drunken Dick strolled up to his table at Ago in West Hollywood, rudely downed
his guests’ peach liqueur drinks, and “looked at me and said, ‘I put the “Phil
Hartman hex” on you - you’re the next one to die.’ I said, ‘What did you say?’
and he repeated it. I wanted to punch his face in, but I don’t hit women.”
When the two ran into each other at the Laugh Factory last Wednesday, “I
wanted him to say he was sorry for the ‘Phil Hartman hex,’ ” Lovitz told us… I
pushed him against the rail. Then I pushed him again really hard. A security
guard broke it up. I’m not proud of it . . . but he’s a disgusting human being.” "

So democrats are not the only ones who care about their image before the American population after all.
"Presidential candidate Mitt Romney recorded $300 in payments to a California
company that describes itself as “a mobile beauty team for hair, makeup and
men’s grooming and spa services.”
Romney spokesman Kevin Madden confirmed that the payments — actually two separate $150 charges — were for makeup, though he said the former Massachusetts governor had only one session with Hidden Beauty of West Hills, Calif."

Crooks and Liars » Labor Secretary: American Workers Stink:
While I will give him that there are a lot of lazy workers in America that don't know how to show up to work on time, I don't know where this idea that American workers are dirty comes from. There are also a great deal of hard workers, who know the value of work in America, I think more often than not it is not workers that let companies down, it is companies that let workers down. Many of the workers who are lazy and choose to not be punctual, do so because of mistreatment by management in either current or former jobs.
"Beyond the cheaper cost of labor, U.S. employers say that many workers
abroad simply have a better attitude toward work. “American employees must be
punctual, dress appropriately and have good personal hygiene,” says Chao."

Military Solution For Iran?
Captain's Quarters: Military Solution For Iran?
I don't know how anyone could think that a military solution to Iran is a good idea. A war against Iran will set the final spark that will explode the entire region. Israel will be dragged in because Iran will launch attacks on it, Saudi Arabia will either become involved as an ally of America or more generally as an ally of its fellow Sunnis. Turkey could use this as a window to enter Kurdish areas, the instability of Pakistan would only increase, as would the strength of the terrorists in Afghanistan. It would create the largest battle field, possibly in the history of global conflict. All this from an administration that for better or worse does not know how to plan a war.
Of course much of the same was said about the Iraq war, and while much of it turned out to be true, much of it did not.
"The balance in the internal White House debate over Iran has shifted back
in favour of military action before President George Bush leaves office in 18
months, the Guardian has learned.
The shift follows an internal review involving the White House, the Pentagon and the state department over the last month. Although the Bush administration is in deep trouble over Iraq, it remains focused on Iran. A well-placed source in Washington said: 'Bush is not going to leave office with Iran still in limbo.'"

One thing that I don't think is fair, is that people on the left will greet every report out of Iraq with cheers and "we told you so"'. However when ever a report comes out from Iraq that paints the war in a positive light, they claim that it is lies and manipulation.
"In his most optimistic remarks since the U.S. troop buildup began, Gen. Peter
Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Tuesday that Iraq has
undergone a 'sea change' in security in recent months, and that this will
influence his recommendation to President Bush on how long to continue the
current strategy.
After conferring with Maj. Gen. Walter Gaskin and other
commanders in this provincial capital west of Baghdad, Pace told reporters he
has gathered a positive picture of the security environment not only here but
also in Baghdad, where he began his Iraq visit on Monday."

ArchPundit » Blog Archive » Daily Dolt: Washington is Full of Silly, Silly People: Meet Your Sergeant at Arms:
This is a funny story about a man that we normally see historically in a very serious light.
"LINCOLN BROKE A QUORUM Back in 1839, the Illinois House was meeting in special
session and hatched a plan to vote on a Democratic bill to require the state’s
central bank to make payments in gold or silver, rather than paper money. The
Whig Party strongly opposed the idea, and, led by Rep. Abraham Lincoln, decided
on the spot that the best way to kill the proposal was to deny the majority
Democrats a quorum. So, they left the building, the
Second Presbyterian
Church in Springfield. But two members were required under law back then to
demand that a quorum call be made. Lincoln and another House Whig, Joseph
Gillespie, walked into the chambers and made the motion. No quorum was present
and a vote couldn’t be taken. The next day, though, Lincoln and the Whigs made
the same attempt, but the House Speaker ordered the doors locked behind them and
summoned some members who had previously been too ill to attend the session. A
quorum was now present.
Lincoln realized the problem and he and the other
Whigs jumped out of a window to try to halt the vote, but the quorum was already
certified and the Whigs lost. According to Lincoln friend William Herndon, the
window jumping had no effect “other than to provide the Democrats with capital
material for ridicule.” "
This is a funny story about a man that we normally see historically in a very serious light.

The idea is that a radio station instead of offering 4 hours of conservative talk would instead offer two hours conservative talk and two hours of liberal talk.The idea being that the public would hear more opinions and thus be better informed. The problem is that a radio station operator is more likely to offer no political speech, and choose not to bother with it than to offer balanced political speech.
The radio is not the only, and for most Americans it isn't the chief form of media information. If this idea were to spread to other mediums, what would it mean for them. What if they came to bloggers and told them that you would have to publish equal coverage of conservative and liberal thoughts? As a blogger myself I know what I would do. I would stop the posts about McCain and Edwards and publish even more posts about Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan.
It is not the role of the government to tell us what we should be broadcasting/publishing and what we should be reading or listening to.
"They prefer a quick snapshot of political talk on the radio and discover to
their chagrin that the number of hours of programming is 10 to 1 conservative,
and the number of stations is 76/24 percent conservative/liberal. How could this
be? The facts all by themselves tell a compelling story of structural imbalance.
It must be corrected by a comprehensive program of government compulsion, they
write, including a tax to support public radio."

Bush to promote Blair-led Middle East peace talks - AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth
Bush to promote Blair-led Middle East peace talks - AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth:
While Blair is tainted by his involvement with Bush and the war in Iraq, I think that more than any other political leaders on the international scene right now, he has the skills and the ability to create a movement for peace in the region. I hope that he is given the support and the power that he needs to break through the road blocks that have prevented change.
"President Bush's announcement comes only days before Mr Blair attends his first
meeting of the Quartet. The former prime minister has been pushing Mr Bush for
the past five years to take an active role in trying to end the
Israeli-Palestinian confrontation. In his White House speech yesterday, Mr Bush
gave his blessing to Mr Blair's new career as an unpaid Middle East envoy."
