She is just saying what everyone else is thinking. What is wrong with her mother, she should get help for herself before she can think about helping Lindsay.

Did Somebody Say Secret Witness?!
I am just shocked that it took so long for Gloria to get herself into this circus. It isn't clear if this is a witness for or against Britney. If it is a male, my logic tells me that it is someone who is against Britney. Does Britney need more people against her? I love that last line about Allred trying to add another ring to the circus. That is exactly what she did to the Scott Peterson case.

US loner helps bin Laden to taunt Bush - Telegraph:
The explains why so much of the video sounded like it was written by someone who pays attention to the media and has a clear understanding of American culture. I doubt that Bin Laden is able to get many channels in his cave. Besides the army would be quick to track it down to his Tora Bora hide out.
"The al-Qaeda leader's first video message for three years featured a bizarre
rant against America, with references to global warming, 'insane taxes', the US
mortgage market meltdown and rising interest rates. American spy chiefs were
quick to name Adam Gadahn, the head of al-Qaeda's English language media
operations, as the author of large sections of bin Laden's broadcast. Last
October, the 28-year-old 'loner' became the first American charged with treason
since 1952, for appearing in a succession of al-Qaeda videos under the guise of
'Azzam The American', in which he condemned globalisation and made American
cultural references."

Gates of Vienna: Swedish Newspapers Stand Firm
You don't have to be sorry when you are right. I think that it was a mistake in the last round of this violence that the Danish government came out and said that it was sorry.

Chris Dodd pushes the energy envelope | Salon News
Chris Dodd pushes the energy envelope Salon News:
Carbon taxes make sense. It makes sense when discussing issues of Global Warming and other enviromental issues. A good carbon tax would be large enough to generate attention from the business community that it needs to clean up and engage in energy effiecentcy. It should be small enough that it is payable though, it should not be a tool that is going to drive business under or industry out of the country. A small tax could serve this purpose, the money from which should be used to develop cleaner and more energy efficient technology that could be sold to industry at competetive rates. Make the purchase of these new technologies deductable from the carbon tax that they are paying.
"Chris Dodd hasn't been out front on environmental issues during his 32
years in Congress, but he's clearly aiming to outgreen his competitors in the
2008 presidential campaign. He has earned props in environmental circles for
being the only candidate with the political cojones to call for a corporate
carbon tax as a way to fight global warming, and for endorsing a strict
fuel-economy standard that would require new cars and trucks to get 50 miles per
gallon by 2017. Dodd even ran what was billed as the first presidential
candidate ad focused on global warming. "

Talking Points Memo | Schwarzenegger's advice
Talking Points Memo Schwarzenegger's advice:
If the Republicans want to come back to power they have to kick out the moral authorities of the extreme right. People may share the values of conservative ideas, but fear the religious control in areas like abortion, birth control and gay rights. Socially this country is becoming more opened, more accepting and less dogmatic.
"'In movie terms, we are dying at the box office. We are not filling the seats,'
the California governor said. 'Now, while the number of California Republicans
has been declining, the number of independents has been growing. They may well
outnumber both political parties in just 20 years.' Schwarzenegger made the
comments in an address to the California Republican party state convention. 'The
real opportunity for Republicans is that independents generally agree with our
core principles,' he said. 'I want to make the Republican Party welcoming to
these Independents.'"

PoliPundit.com » Hsu scandal too big for NYT to ignore:
This sounds like more of the same scandal that followed around the former Clinton administration for years. It could be attacks by partisan agents of the right, but it is hard to believe that where there is this much smoke there isn't fire. I don't think I can vote for Hilary unless she comes clean about this, in clear terms explains what she knew and when she knew it.
"The records show that Components Ltd., a company controlled by Mr. Hsu
that has no obvious business purpose and appears to exist only on paper, has
paid a total of more than $100,000 to at least nine people who made campaign
contributions to Mrs. Clinton and others through Mr. Hsu. The payments occurred
in the spring of 2003, several months before Mr. Hsu emerged as a contributor to
Democrats and more than a year before he started bundling checks from those same
people for various campaigns. In all, he has raised more than $1 million for
Democrats. … Because [the records obtained by the NYT] covered only a single
month in 2003, it could not be determined if the pattern of payments to the nine
people was a singular occurrence, or continued closer in proximity to the
hundreds of thousands of dollars in contributions that Mr. Hsu eventually
bundled."

They should have the right to have loans that are sold at special interest rates, loans are products and if someone wants to sell something for less than its value it shouldn't be illegal. That doesn't mean that banks should be forced into selling them, either main stream banks can sell them or they can set up their own banks to sell them. Any main stream bank would have to report to its share holders and explain to other customers why they are selling their loans undervalued to Muslims though.

institute “Islamic banking,” i.e. Shari’a-compliant loans (Muslims should pay
less for loans than native Stockholmers — Jizyah, as it is called in the

Can you imagine if we enforced this in the west, how many stars would have been killed? Lindsay would be on her last chance, looking at death if she got drunk again. One of the things that I respect about Islam is its approach to alcohol - no I don't think drinkers should be killed. Alcohol is a dangerous social ill, and Islam may be one of the first laws the saw that danger.
"Then v. 43 tells believers not to come to prayers while drunk. Ibn Abi Hatim
says this was revealed because one of the Muslims began to recite sura 109:1-3:
“Say: O disbelievers! I do not worship that which you worship; nor do you
worship that which I worship.” But the leader of prayer was drunk, and so he
said: “Say, O disbelievers! I do not worship that which you worship, but we
worship that which you worship.” 4:43 was revealed shortly thereafter. It was
the first stage of the three-stage Qur’anic prohibition of alcohol. First Allah
commanded the Muslims not to pray while drunk in this passage; then he told them
that alcohol was a “great sin, and some profit, for men” (2:219); and finally
there came the revelation that alcohol was “Satan’s handiwork” (5:90), and thus
to be shunned altogether. The last of these verses is considered to have
abrogated the other two. Muhammad himself became quite stern about drunkenness,
saying that drunks should be given three chances and then executed: “If he is
intoxicated, flog him; again if he is intoxicated, flog him; again if he is
intoxicated, flog him; if he does it again a fourth time, kill him.” "

We live in a very divided country right now. On one side are groups who want to push forward an acceptance of alternative lifestyles, ultimately making gay marriage legal. On the other are groups that are pushing conservative agendas that are anti-gay, anti-sexual health rights, including contraceptives and pro-life. It is at a time like this that more than ever we need a third party, not a party more to the left like the Green Party or more to the right like Libertarians but a party that represents the center.

Romney for his social-issue policy reversals and — for some members — his Mormon
faith."

of the job market, not just an August dive. Factories, home builders, and public
schools all saw big employment losses in August, yielding a net loss of 4,000
jobs for the nation. But what's more troubling than the negative tally,
economists say, is the breadth of deceleration. "

confused expression; Diddy, her new best friend, was expressionless."

She'll be back next year better and stronger than ever. Really she isn't such a poor girl. she didn't have to watch Britney attempt to show she can still dance and sing.
"While the rest of Hollywood gets ready for the VMA’s or chills in New York for
Fashion Week, sad little Lindsay Lohan was stuck in Utah recovering from her
drug addiction with non-celeb hoodie-wearers. Aww, poor girl."

Ugh, This Broad Again… :
She has her own beauty of course, but she is no where near as beautiful as Dita. It looks like she is trying to steal Dita's style, which is a mistake because it doesn't work for her. There are a rare few womyn who can pull of Dita's style, and none as good as Dita does.
"Marilyn Manson’s very serious-looking girlfriend, Evan Rachel Wood, turned up
at the premiere of her new film “In Bloom” at the Toronto International Film
Festival on Saturday."

David Beckham: Hater |
David Beckham: Hater :
Yeah I feel so bad for this poor guy. Maybe the most talented soccer player in the world called him a dirty name and he can't deal with it. It makes him want to cry, cry, cry all the way to the bank to cash checks made from selling his story about being called a dirty name by Beckham. What a sad pathetic life this man must live, that is what I really feel bad for him for.
"Ex-Chelsea star Graeme Le Saux tells The Times of London that he jumped for the
ball in a September 2000 game and caught Beckham’s head with his elbow, cutting
it, drawing blood and prompting Beckham to call him a “[bleep]ing poof.” “That
shocked me,” says LeSaux, who is straight. “That this was somebody who is
obviously not homophobic makes it even more significant. I’m sure it does not
cross David’s mind to talk like that in, say, Elton John’s company, but as a
reaction to an incident, I was fair game to be called a ‘poof.’ ” The charge
comes as Le Saux’s autobiography, “Graeme Le Saux: Left Field,” is about to hit
stores. A rep for Beckham, now with the Los Angeles Galaxy, called the claim
“completely untrue” and said, “David would never say such a thing. It’s been
seven years since this match that Graeme refers to, and he has never mentioned
this to David personally or publicly.”"

I’m Not Obsessed - Celebrity Gossip » Mena Suvari Promoting Her New Scarf Line:
Mena has such a sexy neck. that makes her the natural womyn to have a scarf collection. It makes me wish there was a Bloomingdales close enough that I could buy one. I love scarfs.
"I have to admit something. I love seeing Mena Suvari rocking her short buzz
when she is in casual clothing. Gimme this girl in a pair of jeans and a tank
and I think she looks awesome. But these photos of Mena in a dress make me miss
her long locks. She is still very beautiful either way - don’t get me wrong! But
thank goodness the look is temporary. Here she is promoting her new scarf line
at Bloomingdales."

Britney Spears Club Hops Till 3 a.m. in Vegas - Britney Spears : People.com:
It is clear from her appearance on the VMA's that her focus is not on her career. Which is fine, but if she isn't going to put 100 percent into the show, she should have allowed someone else to perform. Someone with a little more talent, I think Sanjaya might be free. She really should not have been out at the clubs till the early morning the night before she knew she was going to perform.
"What does a girl do before opening the MTV Video Music Awards? Club hop
and party until 3 a.m., of course. With her new pal Diddy by her side, Britney
Spears declined to stay in and rest up for the big show, instead bouncing from
club to club along the Strip, and even hanging with Paris Hilton. "

Britney And Criss Get Intimate ... (X17 Online)
Britney And Criss Get Intimate ... (X17 Online):
Now that we have seen Britney's appearance at the VMA's which was said to be the reason that she was spending so much time with Criss, we can see that is not the case. There was no part of her routine that needed the talent of a person like Criss Angel, she barely expressed any of her own talent. Was it because is she reported to have missed to rehearsals, or maybe she just didn't care.
"Britney and Criss cozied up Friday night at Body English at the Hard Rock Hotel
in Vegas -- was he whispering sweet nothings in her ears? Or talking performance
secrets for tonight?"

Amy Winehouse’s rehab doubts- Celebrity Gossip
Amy Winehouse’s rehab doubts- Celebrity Gossip:
I understand her logic, but that would be like suggesting that you don't need any help when you are lost in the wilderness. Yes, lots of people who get lost are able to find their own way out, but more people need the help of the search and rescue teams. I think that having an addiction is like being lost, you have to work to help yourself, but if you can get help, from someone who knows the way it is silly to not take it.
"She told Britain’s OK! magazine: “Rehab is great for some people and
not for others. I’ve had a couple of mates who’ve gone and it’s worked out great
and I’ve got a few mates who are in and out all the time. A couple of mates did
it once on the one day-at-a-time thing. It worked for them. I’m of the school of
thought where, if you can’t sort something out for yourself, no-one can help
you. You’re a bit lost if you can’t sort yourself out.”"

Paris Did It On Purpose Dlisted:
We have all known for a while that she was pregnant, or at least the gossip blogs have been saying that she is for a while. Did Paris out her friends pregnancy or is she just repeating gossip that she read on the internet.
"At LAX in Las Vegas last night Paris took the mic and told the crowd, 'I want
everyone to say congratulations to the most beautiful pregnant woman in the
world, Christina Aguilera. You're gorgeous!'"

I am posting this picture of Mandie before she was famous because I still think she is hot. It has to do with facial structure, she has a hot face. Anyway, I admit that my tastes are not shared by all. On the other hand this is a great picture of Natasha as well. Hope that she is doing well.

Anyone who has watched the show knows that Nicole is not a very good worker. Is she a threat to her pet as well. Commentators over at the SOAP.net message boards noticed that her dog was tied short. The dog appeared to have been left without shelter, in the sun and not given water. Another commentator noted that the dogs neck looked raw. Is she unfit to even have pets. It seems that she is only focused on herself.
"While Nicole and her friend were at the pool whinning and complaining about
getting a chance at an internship, her dog was.... minus water, shelter and was
tied short. I hope the animal cruelty investigators in your state were watching
also. Yeah, yeah....I'm sure you love your dog. "
