I did it...

I have long felt like I wasn't providing enough real content on this site, and that was reflected in the fact that the tag with the greatest number was the video tag. Now however I am happy to say that is changed and video is no longer the most numerious tag. The honor has been lost to the gossip tag, which is being followed closely by the Politics tag. I really want to make this an entertaining site, but also a content site.

Nick Lachey Vanessa Minnillo Engagement Ring Shopping Cartier’s Seattle

Nick Lachey Vanessa Minnillo Engagement Ring Shopping Cartier’s Seattle

Despite uncensored shots of their infamous hot tub tryst in the middle of Mexico
leaking to the Net late last week, spywitness spotted former ‘Newlywed’ Nick
Lachey shopping for a diamond engagment ring at Cartier’s Seattle.


They are clearly a hot couple, and I think that this could be a good relationship for both of them. I wish them the best of luck with their new life.

Anderson Cooper Caught Giving Male Oral Sex In Atlanta Sex Shop ‘Inserections’

Anderson Cooper Caught Giving Male Oral Sex In Atlanta Sex Shop ‘Inserections’

A very notable Atlanta individual was in an Atlanta area adult novelty store
where he caught CNN newsman Anderson Cooper giving a man head in one of the
‘private’ porn booths.The adult novelty story is “Inserections” and is located near Chesire Bridge Rd in Atlanta, GA. This incident happened two weeks ago and was only made apparent after Anderson’s hat and glasses fell off.


I really like Anderson and I don't think that this is important, but it is going to be out there. I thought it would be better to just post the story and shoot it down. I don't know what he does in his personal life, and this is a matter that doesn't need to be talked about. I know you are thinking that all I do is talk about peoples personal lives. You have a point, but this is something that has a real potential to damage a persons career.

Aniston’s Rep Denies Jennifer Met Shiloh

Aniston’s Rep Denies Jennifer Met Shiloh

Jennifer Aniston’s rep is denying reports that she gave an interview to
Britain’s Look magazine in which she dishes on her former fling, Paul Sculfor,
and a recent meeting with Brad Pitt and daughter Shiloh.


I don't see any reason why she shouldn't see Shiloh, and I don't think that Angelina would be upset by that either. The press just need something to print, and until Jenn can find herself a new lover, that is serious, she is going to be attached to Brad in the media. I am sure that all of them would be more than happy to see her get into a real solid relationship.

Putting the BS on PBS

Putting the BS on PBS


Gold Futures carries a host of myths, factual inaccuracies and obviorus attempts
to hoodwink his audience. These cannot just be mistakes. Perhaps Kocsis believes
his films are ‘good lies’, peddled to raise awareness about an important issue -
where exaggeration and omission are morally the right thing to do. But whether a
conscious attempt to pull the wool over people’s eyes or just shoddy film
making, this is not an objective film.
This is not a David versus Goliath struggle, tiny environmentalist groups versus the ‘big bad’ gold-company. Some of the richest and most powerful environmental NGOs in the world – Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, the George Soros funded Open Society Foundation, and the Goldman Environmental Foundation have allied with some of the largest landowners in the valley to stop the mine.


A small storm is brewing over a goldmine in Romania and a documentary that was made about it. The mine is being blocked by environmental groups, that isn't the story. Clearly if groups in Romania are concerned about the mine, they have the right to protest it and the people have the choice to support it or not. The groups in this case are being backed by big money groups from the US, which is putting a lot of pressure on the mine company to stop the mine.

I have concerns about this because while I am sure that the groups are acting in what they feel is best for the people of the village.What do the people in the village want, and are their needs being over ridden by the international groups assisting them. I understand the logic that since the company that owns the mine is a Canadian company and is itself large and international, that the defense needs to be large and international. I have read at least some reports that the people in the village want the mine, while it may be well intentioned I don't think it is the role of American Environmental groups to dictate to other countries what is best for them.

Sharia rocks: Gwen Stefani covers up in Malaysia

Sharia rocks: Gwen Stefani covers up in Malaysia

She changed costumes for every song, remaining fully covered as she belted out
tunes such as “The Sweet Escape,” “Rich Girl,” “Wind it Up” and “Hollaback
Girl.” Stefani had promised to dress modestly after the 10,000-member National
Union of Malaysian Muslim Students charged that her skimpy outfits and cheeky
performances clashed with Islamic values. The opposition Pan-Malaysian Islamic
Party also accused her of promoting promiscuity and corrupting the country’s
youth. In an interview with Galaxie, a local entertainment magazine, Stefani
said she had made many changes for Malaysia, calling it a “major
sacrifice.”
“I’ve been in the music industry for 20 years and this is the first time that I’m facing opposition from people who have misunderstood me,” she was quoted as saying.


If they right in this country had made a similar request, and she had abided by it they would be talking about how responsible she was. However, since this concert was in a Muslim country and it was Muslims that she was adapting her show for, she is a dhimmi. She was faced with the choice of having the show and respecting the wishes of the nation she was visiting or not having the show. I don't know that I would expect everyone to make the choice that she made, I can see the argument against it. What I don't see is how she should be slandered for respecting the Muslim culture. If the concert had been in Europe and Asia - then it would be a different issue, but this concert was in a Muslim country.

9/11 TRUTHERS GUT PUNCHED BY HISTORY CHANNEL (Rick Moran/Right Wing Nut House)

9/11 TRUTHERS GUT PUNCHED BY HISTORY CHANNEL (Rick Moran/Right Wing Nut House)

In what will surely be seen as a defining moment for the 9/11 truther movement,
the History Channel has delivered a blow for sanity and rationalism by airing a
superior documentary entitled 9/11 Conspiracies: Fact or Fiction.
There’s no other way to say it; the truthers got reamed.


Truthers are Truthers because they don't listen to the truth. Why should they listen to the History channel when they can listen to Charlie Sheen. Why listen to the guys from Popular Mechanics, when you can listen to Rosie O'Donnell?

Bloomberg says won't run for president (Daniel Trotta/Reuters)

NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg says he cannot win the
U.S. presidency and won't run, the strongest statement to date about his
intentions for the 2008 presidential race.


While it might seem clear to most at this point that he was not going to get into the race, this is the first clear statement he has made. Until now he has claimed that he didn't have plans to run, but didn't plan on not running. This means that in another four years, we may have the same debate all over again.

Fatah’s armed wing, the Aksa Martyrs Brigades, announced Tuesday it would no
longer honor understandings reached with Israel, and called on its members to
carry weapons to defend themselves against the IDF.
“We call on all our members who handed over their weapons to the Palestinian security forces to report to their commanders so that they can be issued new weapons,” said a leaflet distributed in Ramallah.


Call off the attack dogs, this isn't about claiming that they are equal or that they all do the same things. What the show is about is looking at how each of the religions is using its beliefs and attempting to pressure them into public life.
