Right Wing Watch: Right-wing Activists Suspicious of Thompson Ties to ‘Shadow Government’

Right Wing Watch: Right-wing Activists Suspicious of Thompson Ties to ‘Shadow Government’:

"According to the right-wing news website, WorldNetDaily, Fred Thompson has
finally and “candidly” confirmed his membership in the Council on Foreign
Relations, which WND says is sometimes referred to as the “‘shadow government’
organization of elites with a global agenda.” Earlier this week, Thompson was
confronted and questioned by an activist during a campaign stop regarding his
association with the Council, long a bete noir of activists who suspect the
United Nations and other elites of scheming to destroy U.S. sovereignty. The
activist who confronted Thompson, and was eventually forcibly removed from the
event, mentioned the Council’s supposed efforts to bring about the North
American Union, the latest nightmare for Phyllis Schlafly and the
black-helicopter crowd."


While I don't buy into the shadow government, this does serve to show how much of an insider Thompson is. If he is a member of this group, he sits at table with some of the most powerful people in the world. He is not a farmer, he is a lobbyist, he is not an actor though he plays one on TV. He is a political operative, with ties that could have dangerous implications for America.

Underage Hilary Duff Drinking Arena Nightclub | Pop Crunch

Underage Hilary Duff Drinking Arena Nightclub Pop Crunch:

"Nineteen year old ‘role model’ Disney actress Hilary Duff was spied
sporting a ciggie and a mixed drink with new BF twenty-six year old NHL star
Mike Comrie at Arena Nightclub on Thursday night."


Has Hilary learned nothing from watching the Nicole, Lindsay and Paris train wrecks. Does she want to be the next underage starlet that is getting locked up for a DUI?

Local stations get call letters that spell dirty words - TV Squad:


"The station is still under construction so no one has seen KUNT Action News as
of yet--or maybe it's KUNT On Your Side. The other station is KWTF in Arizona.
Now, this one I like. I think I'd keep it. I'd make my motto, 'Hey! KWTF is
happening in Arizona!'"


That is great, I would love to watch KWTF, and you know you can always trust KUNT to be a good source for something at least. I wonder if the FCC will see the mistake it made and change the call letters.

Does Bono's Wife Know About This?

A Socialite's Life: Does Bono's Wife Know About This?

"For the U2 frontman, 47, Spanish actress Penelope Cruz, 33, and model Helena
Christensen have been spotted walking hand-in-hand along a Saint Tropez beach.
Cruz and Bono were also snapped leaving the exclusive VIP Room nightclub in
the French Riviera. Holding hands as they exited the club they cosied up and
seemed lost in conversation as they were driven away. "


Do you think Bono is cheating on his wife? Could this just be a close friendship between the two. I have to say that if it weren't Bono, I would already be thinking that something was going on. Bono doesn't seem like the kind that would openly cheat on his wife though. I guess we will see.

A Socialite's Life: Richie Gets Four Days In The Big House

"A court commissioner sentenced Richie to serve four days in the City or
County Jail (her choice!) -- she got credit for a fifth day, for the six hours
she served after being busted.Richie was also fined $2,048, was ordered back to
school for 21 days to an alcohol education course and on three years probation.
Richie must report to serve her time by September 28. "


This is a pretty harsh slap on the wrist for poor Nicole. Imagine the pain of having to spend four days in jail. It isn't like she was caught with a blood alcohol level that barely broke the law - at .08. All poor Nicole did was get high on pot and pills and drive the wrong way down the freeway. I mean what is the worst that could happen, someone could have been killed. Those judges in LA sure know how to throw the book at someone.

YEAH FOR ME.... HERE IS TO 10,000 MORE AT LEAST!

New Republic Outs Baghdad Diarist, Weekly Standard Unimpressed / Jossip

New Republic Outs Baghdad Diarist, Weekly Standard Unimpressed / Jossip:

"“Right now, we have no reason to believe that his stories are anything
other than what we first suspected them to be: a ‘pastiche of the ‘This is no
bullshit . . . stories soldiers like to tell.’” That’s The Weekly Standard’s
response to the self-outing of Scott Thomas Beauchamp, otherwise known as The
New Republic’s “Baghdad Diarist” whose Iraq war accounts have been, let’s say,
“questioned.” As the solider tells it: “My pieces were always intended to
provide my discrete view of the war; they were never intended as a reflection of
the entire U.S. Military. I wanted Americans to have one soldier’s view of
events in Iraq.”"


While the identity of the blogger has been revealed, the stories that he has written are still being attacked by the right. The stories I have heard about involved in this, do sound like they might be fiction, or perhaps they are based on true stories. For example one story is about a soldier who used a child's skull as a hat for a full day, perhaps it was a real incident where it was play with for a few moments, and the author expanded on the truth. On the other hand, there is a well known story of NATO troops that found a skull and used it as a toy, so it could have been the author localized that story.

Britney Spears Bodyguard Assaults Photographer Las Vegas Wynn Hotel; Sean Preston Hit During Brawl! | Pop Crunch

Britney Spears Bodyguard Assaults Photographer Las Vegas Wynn Hotel; Sean Preston Hit During Brawl! Pop Crunch:

"Britney Spears has added to the legal problems she’ll likely face after going
on the run with tykes Sean P. and Jayden J in tow. Brit has checked out of the
Las Vegas Wynn Hotel after her bodyguard Julio “JC” Camera punched out a
photographer in front of the spa after-right in front of two year old Sean, who
was actually struck during the melee!"


I feel bad only for the child in this mess. The photographer no doubt deserved the beating that he got, while Britney seems to do everything she can to get the cameras on her. She should not be given custody of the children alone, and from what I hear she might not be given that right again after this illegal trip across state lines. You see, part of the custody agreement between her and Kevin says that one parent cannot take the children across state lines without telling the other. It is being reported that he was pissed when he learned that the kids had gone to Las Vegas with her.

Dina Lohan Slams Jay Leno for Lindsay Jokes - Lindsay Lohan : People.com

Dina Lohan Slams Jay Leno for Lindsay Jokes - Lindsay Lohan : People.com:

"Dina Lohan is one person who was not amused by Rob Schneider's guest appearance
on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno Tuesday – during which he dressed as Lindsay
Lohan. "


She either needs to learn how to take a joke and understand that is a part of living the life that her daughter has choose, or she needs to stop being an attention whore. I think it is a little bit of both.

Listen Dina, right now you need to get off the phone with the media, and take care of Lindsay. Sending her a text message a day is not being a parent to her. Right now she needs you to worry about her and not for you to be worried about Jay Leno.

"The on/off-girlfriend of Prince William is hoping to break a Guinness world
record by being among the first all-female crew to row across the English
Channel for the charity race in a Chinese dragon boat. That’s pretty cool
actually."


She really is very beautiful, it would be good to see it work out for them.

Ann Coulter Suggests ABC Hire Hillary to Replace Rosie on 'The View' | NewsBusters.org

Ann Coulter Suggests ABC Hire Hillary to Replace Rosie on 'The View' NewsBusters.org:

"If three prominent articles in the Treason Times isn't enough to convince
Hillary that Bush won the 2000 election, forget the White House: ABC ought to
hire her to replace Rosie O'Donnell on 'The View.' I know that's a big seat to
fill, but maybe she can finally convince Elizabeth Hasselbeck that 9/11 was an
inside job. "


I think that if this run for the White House doesn't work out, and she has the time in her schedule she should look into being a member of The View. Hillary is a smart womyn and I think that her ideas would add some real depth to the show.

Newt flirts with Thompson - Jonathan Martin - Politico.com:

"Newt Gingrich's long, slow striptease over whether he will seek the presidency
in 2008 looks like it might come to an unexpected conclusion: a date with Fred
Thompson. "


That would be an interesting ticket to watch, not to vote for, but to watch. It would be like the drunk girl at the bar that is more fun watching than taking home.

Lindsay Lohan: ‘I Can Do Whatever the F**k I Want’--Bumpshack.com

Lindsay Lohan: ‘I Can Do Whatever the F**k I Want’--Bumpshack.com:

"Dante says he tried to grab the wheel, prompting Lindsay to say, “If you touch
me I’ll sue you.” Jakon says they pleaded with her to stop.
They say at one point, Lindsay boasted, “I can’t get in trouble. I’m a celebrity. I can do
whatever the f**k I want.”
He says Lindsay responded, “I’m a celebrity. I’m not going to get in trouble.”
When police arrived, Dante says it seemed as
if Lindsay told officers, “I wasn’t driving. The black kid was driving.”
Dante says Lindsay was never without a drink during the evening and he even
did a shot with her.
Ronnie says Lindsay looked “very messed up” and “raging.”
Dante and Jakon say they saw Lindsay flunk the field sobriety
test. They say when she tried touching her nose, she almost fell over."


The black kid was driving, yeah not the right thing to say Lindsay.

Well there goes her I wasn't driving defense, unless there is a good reason for these men to lie, which I don't see, the story that they tell makes it look worse than we had imagined.

Dear Mitt, I see how you might think that looking down your nose at Americans and the way they choose to express themselves will get you elected to the highest office in the land. Wait, actually I don't see how you think that being rude is going to get you elected.
