I’m Not Obsessed

I’m Not Obsessed:

"Although his identity remains in question, one thing’s for sure: During a
romantic dinner at Santa Monica’s One Pico restaurant in the Shutters Hotel on
Saturday, he had the actress’s undivided attention.
At 8 p.m. the pair
slipped into the beachfront eatery with Aniston’s man gently rubbing her back as
they waited for a table. For the next three hours the duo talked by candlelight
over a bottle of San Pellegrino, leaning in close and, at one point, even
holding hands across the table. (Her rep had no comment on the dinner date.)"


This is good news, this means an end to the Jenn and Vince stories I hope and also an end to the Jenn and Brad stories. Though honestly I think that some tab will be running those stories forever. Honestly though, I hope that is really is a good relationship for her, she has had a hard couple years and deserves to be happy.

The Journalist And The Prostitute: Barbara Walters Inspires Hookers Everywhere - Gawker:

"Even if this weren't an incredibly touching story, this clip from 'The
View' would be worth it solely for the way Barbara says the word 'hookers' about
three hundred times in twenty seconds. "


I got into my limo, and I looked at the hookers and the hookers looked at me - and I gave them hope. Who the hell is she kidding, what is she talking about?

Townhall.com::Living in Terror::By Fred Thompson:

"Let me ask you a hypothetical question. What do you think America would do if
Canadian soldiers were firing dozens of missiles every day into Buffalo, N.Y.?
What do you think our response would be if Mexican troops for two years had
launched daily rocket attacks on San Diego -- and bragged about it?
I can
tell you, our response would look nothing like Israel's restrained and pinpoint
reactions to daily missile attacks from Gaza. We would use whatever means
necessary to win the war. There would likely be numerous casualties on our
enemy's side, but we would rightfully hold those who attacked us responsible. "


For me I changed my opinion on this after the Gaza pull out. For the first time the Palestinians were given land of their own. Granted it is a small space and it has its problems, some of which can be pinned on Israel. However, once they got this land, did they go about attempting to create a peaceful prosperous place for the citizens to live in. No they immediately used this to increase its offensive against Israel proper. Gaza has not become the base for a larger state for Palestinians, but a base for larger attacks on Israel. There are facts that are certain in this world, and I think that one of them is that Israel has the right to exist. The only question I see that the Palestinians have to ask themselves is if they want to live with Israel peacefully or not. It looks like those with the power right now, are choosing not.

Captain's Quarters

Captain's Quarters:

"In an interview with USA TODAY, however, the former Tennessee senator not only
makes it clear that he plans to run, he describes how he aims to do it. He's
planning a campaign that will use blogs, video posts and other Internet
innovations to reach voters repelled by politics-as-usual in both parties. ...
Thompson could reshape a GOP contest in which each of the three leaders has
significant vulnerabilities and none of the seven second-tier contenders has
broken through. Without formally joining the race — he's preparing to do that as
early as the first week of July — Thompson already is placing third and better
among Republican candidates in some national polls.
Dissatisfaction among
one-third of Republicans with the 2008 field has opened the door for the
candidate, whose folksy tone, actor's ease before an audience and conservative
credentials drew comparisons to Ronald Reagan at the annual Connecticut GOP
dinner here. Thompson addressed the dinner last week to a sold-out audience.
'People listen to him and see someone who's very comfortable with who he is
and confident about what he believes in,' state Republican chairman Chris Healy
says. 'That's a skill that, obviously, Ronald Reagan took to great heights.'"


Am I now working as a part of the Fred Thompson campaign by posting this? I don't know, but it looks like he has a solid chance of making it through the primaries. My guess is that a number of the stars that are leading the pack now will sink in the polls as the voting gets closer. I think that as voters start to think more about who they want to elect they will think more about serious candidate and less about those that are leading. McCain hopefully has a good chance too, I think he would make a good president.

Crooks and Liars » Rachel Maddow On TB Scare: Weapons Of Mass Infection

Crooks and Liars » Rachel Maddow On TB Scare: Weapons Of Mass Infection:

"On Wednesday night's 'Countdown,' Air America Radio talk show host Rachel
Maddow discuss the recent TB scare. Maddow points out that the CDC literally had
no plan in place for this kind of dangerous situation and the abysmal way they
dealt with it. Hmm, a Bush appointee with no plan to deal with a potential
crisis…I think I'm starting to see a pattern here. "


This is a story that has been developing in the media. It turns out that an individual was located in the United States with an extreme form of TB that cannot be treated by drugs. He was put into a hospital, where convicts that need hospital treatment are normally held. He is being held to avoid contamination of the virus into society. If there is a spread of this form of TB that is more common in Russia, which is where this one comes from, it brings up questions of how to deal with it. How should we treat people who have done no wrong other than being sick with a disease that is contagious and cannot be cured.

Ethanol trickle down continues - expect higher costs - AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth

Ethanol trickle down continues - expect higher costs - AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth:

"Hutjens and others said higher gasoline prices have increased the costs of
moving milk from farm to market, and corn — the primary feed for dairy cattle —
is being gobbled up by producers of the fuel-additive ethanol. The USDA projects
that 3.2 billion bushels of this year’s corn crop will be used to make ethanol,
a 52 percent increase over 2006.

Ethanol has increased the average
American's grocery bill $47 since July, and Iowa State University study
concluded."


While I find the finger pointing silly, it is interesting to note how this has effects on the market that spread. As corn is taken out of the food market, the price of corn goes up. The price of other grain crops go up because land that was growing wheat and etc. is turned to producing corn. Also as beef producers and others switch from corn to wheat and oats to find lower prices it increases the demand for those staples. In the end everything from the price of milk, and cheese to bread will increase.

White House Officially Recognizes Homosexual Unions and Parenting?

White House Officially Recognizes Homosexual Unions and Parenting?:

"The official White House photo caption indicates the child’s “parents” are
Mary Cheney and her homosexual partner, Heather Poe.

Stephen Bennett, a
pro-family advocate who left the homosexual lifestyle and now has a ministry to
convince others of its dangers, expressed his concern about the White House’s
decision to caption the photo this way. “What is extremely troubling is the
official White House caption that appears underneath the photo on the official
White House website,” said Bennett.
Rather than merely stating that the
child is the “child of their daughter Mary Cheney,' the White House photo
caption states, “... His parents are the Cheney's daughter Mary, and her
partner, Heather Poe.” "


I understand that people have different views of what is right and wrong in terms of the gay lifestyle. What I don't understand is why those who oppose it can't just allow those who want to live their life that way to do so. I am not even suggesting that they have to support it as being right, but you don't have to support something or oppose it. Not to mention that being so concerned about something as little as a caption seems silly.

While there is the right to believe it is sin, and I would even grant that this means that a faith as the right to choose to grant them the right to marry in their church or not. What I question is where does the right to dictate the lives of others, who don't touch your own come from. If they are living in sin, it is their sin and a personal issue between them and god.

Allie Is Wired - The Entertainment Blog: Michael Lohan's Bad Attempt at Reconciliation

Allie Is Wired - The Entertainment Blog: Michael Lohan's Bad Attempt at Reconciliation:

"E! Online reported Wednesday that Lindsay Lohan's father, Michael,
says she suffers from multiple addictions, including alcohol and OxyContin. 'I
spoke to the people treating Lindsay, because I wanted to make sure she was
getting the right care,' Michael Lohan told E! Online. 'And I'm satisfied they
are doing the right thing for her, helping her detox from the painkillers and
things. That's a very important step.'"


It looks like Lohans dad is cut from the same publicity seeking cloth as her mother. Why would you talk to the press about things like this. If you really care about someone you must know that this kind of media attention doesn't help them. It does however get your name in the press. From the rumors it appears that Michael Lohan may be looking for a movie deal.

"Super couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been dodging wedding rumors for

magazine suggests the wedding will be huge, twice the size of Brad and
Jennifer's wedding. "


Why get married, it is easy to get press for themselves now. All they have to do is allow a few rumors to float around every once in a while that they are getting married. If they ever do get married, it will mean the end of these rumors. We know that once the marriage is over, the divorce rumors start.

“How much would

“You’re gonna have to shave or just roll with it.”
Marilyn adds that it’s
his theory that the drunken mess went blonde for precisely this reason, trying

Katie Couric’s Ratings Woes, As Told In Pictures / Jossip:

"TVNewser may have the news, but HuffPo gets the award for best photo montage on

Looks like Katie is sinking even lower in the rankings. To set this in perspective, I think that all of the nightly news shows are losing viewers. The problem I believe for Katie is not that she is a womyn, but that her viewers were mostly womyn in the morning - now they are mostly men. It isn't an issue of men not wanting to watch a womyn give them news, they expect different things from their news, and the show is still aimed at an audience of womyn.

I think that cocaine is the new producers couch in Hollywood these days. If you aren't on it, than you are no one. It is a sad culture, and isn't just Hollywood. We live in a very drug dependent and accepting culture. Our culture is growing more lazy, and unwilling to face difficulties, we don't want to work for our happiness so we take a pill, or do a line. This isn't just Hollywood, and it isn't just coke.

Hot Air » Blog Archive » Flight 327 revisited: Based on report, some air marshals suspect dry run:

"Portions of the report remain redacted. However, air marshals and former
air marshals who reviewed it when provided a copy by The Times say the
activities of the men confirmed by the inspector general details a dry run for a
terrorist attack.“This report is evidence of Homeland Security executives
attempting to downplay and cover-up an unmistakable dry-run that forced flight
attendants to reveal the air marshals and compel the pilots to open the flight
deck door,” said Robert MacLean, a former air marshal who was fired last year
for revealing the service planned to cut back on protection for long-distance
flights to save money."


This is an alarming story. I just read the post over and it sounds like things aren't going as planned with the new Homeland Security Department. If I understood right, it was set up to help the different enforcement and protection agencies to work together. If you read this story, it sounds like that is not happening.

While I would normally support a bill that was crafted through compromise, this is not a good bill in my opinion and its failure is a good thing. It looks like the bill may be sidelined, at the least more time to work it over and fix some of the mistakes that were made in the bill are needed.

them and say that in the event that they are wounded, I would like their
consent,” he said. “We are already viewed by some as bloodsucking vultures, and
making that kind of announcement would make you an immediate bad luck charm.”

“They are not letting us cover the reality of war,” he added. “I think
this has got little to do with the families or the soldiers and everything to do
with politics.”"


The war aside, this is a wrong thing to do. If we are to have an honest discussion about this war and the effects of this war, hiding the effects is like lying. This war, which I support for the most part, needs to be talked about in an honest way. Censorship is never an option in a free society and this is clear censorship.

Best Week Ever » Blog Archive » SIZZLER: Hollywood Clubs To Stop Serving Famous Kids In Wake Of Lohan Bust, Pandemonium To Ensue:

"Authorities are trying to crack down on one of the worst-kept secrets in
Hollywood: underage stars partying hard at trendy clubs on the Sunset Strip and
Hollywood Boulevard.
Doormen at Hollywood hot spots have been lifting the
velvet rope for teen stars for years. Two decades ago, Drew Barrymore became
tabloid fodder after being spotted drinking at Hollywood clubs when she was 13
and 14.
These days, there’s no hiding the illicit behavior, thanks to the
aggressive tactics of Hollywood’s ever-expanding paparazzi corps, who document
celebrities through every nightclub-hopping step."


While it is true that the clubs should not be letting these under age stars into their clubs and letting them drink, I don't know you can blame them for what happened. Things like this don't only happen to drinkers who are underage, you are not going to stop alcoholism and its effects by shutting off the tap to younger drinkers. The other reason that I don't think the clubs can be blamed, is that if they do (and they might) shut them out of the clubs they will drink some where else. I am not suggesting that they should be allowed to drink in public and make a mockery of the drinking laws. It should just be pointed out that this step alone won't change to pattern of young stars drinking in Hollywood - only the location.

Tom DeLay.com - Home - The Democrats Trojan Horse Minimum Wage in War Funding Bill

Tom DeLay.com - Home - The Democrats Trojan Horse Minimum Wage in War Funding Bill:

"America's lowest-paid workers won a $2.10 raise Thursday, with Congress
approving the first increase in the federal minimum wage in almost a decade.
President Bush was expected to sign the bill quickly, and workers who now
make $5.15 an hour will see their paychecks go up by 70 cents per hour before
the end of the summer. Another 70 cents will be added next year, and by summer
2009, all minimum-wage jobs will pay no less than $7.25 an hour."


While I think that the minimum wage needs to be raised. I think that this is a cheap way of getting it passed. Bills should be written so that they are not a collection of different ideas, but one clear idea. When a vote is made on an issue I don't think that it is fair that they are forced to vote on an issue that they disagree with. Single Subject, Single Bill, Single Vote.

Just the sort if life that everyone dreams of, granted there is the money, but is the money worth not only the personal problems. Problems that are played on the stage of public awareness. Many people condemn them for being attention whores, but I wonder if this is the kind of attention that anyone wants.

to Israeli security officials and Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades sources in Ramallah,
Shawish was arrested after the Israeli police stormed his jeep, which was parked
in a lot outside the Muqata, about 200 feet from Arafat’s grave. The sources
said at the time of his arrest, Shawish was having intercourse in the back seat
of his jeep with a Palestinian woman, whose identity is being withheld by WND.
The woman was not his wife."


I can see it now.

"You know sweet stuff, every time I see Arafat's tomb it makes me wish there were more people in the world to defend us. How about you and me jump in my jeep and start making more people?"

"Vandals burned dozens of small American flags that decorated veterans' graves
for Memorial Day and replaced many of them with hand-drawn swastikas,
authorities said Monday. Forty-six flag standards were found empty and another

Not only is it a crime, but it is a hate crime and should be treated as such.

Crooks and Liars » Cindy Sheehan Quits Peace Movement:

"This breaks my heart. Cindy has been brutally attacked from all sides, yet she
kept on going. She didn't do the things she did for attention, money or personal
gain. Her son was killed and all she wanted was for the war to end so others
didn't have to die they way Casey did. Did she make some bad decisions along the
way? Perhaps. Was her heart in the right place? Always. Every day is Memorial
Day for Cindy, and all those who have lost loved ones to war. "


Politics in this age is brutal. Makes me think about what a comment made the bad things that were said about Falwell after he died. The comment was that in choosing to live the life that he did, he understood that such things came with that. Part of being in the public eye right now is to be under attack for your ideas. That is true if you are a truther like Rosie O'Donnell or a conservative like Ann Coulter. I disagreed with much that Sheehan stood for, you say she was fighting to make it so more of our boys didn't die over there, and they are fighting to protect people that are not like us. While the letter that she put out sounds like there is a whole lot of poor me in this choice, I hope she can find her voice again.

Politics is rough, and that comes from free speech. Being allowed the right to say what you think, allows everyone to question you for saying what you think. It does in the end mean that only the tough and the loud get heard.

Crooks and Liars » Fox News 1/2 Hour News Hour Goes From Bad To Worse

Crooks and Liars » Fox News 1/2 Hour News Hour Goes From Bad To Worse:

" Just in time for Memorial Day, the Fox News comedy flop 'The 1/2 Hour News
Hour' finds a way to avoid being funny AND insult America and the troops. Check
out xenophobe Dennis Prager hawking a set of decorative plates
commemorating the 'Road To Surrender.'"


Besides not really being that funny, I think this is unfair. I am always against attacking people just because they disagree with the views you hold. Calling people names, and suggesting that they hate America or they want the troops to fail is putting up a strawman to beat down. If your ideas are better, take them on, and let other people resort to name calling.

American Thinker: Immigration: Mend It Not Rend It

American Thinker: Immigration: Mend It Not Rend It:

"The immigration bill currently before the United States Senate is the usual
farrago of band-aids and special interest goodies, trying to patch up the
failure of 1986. It is, writes Peggy Noonan in unusually strong language, 'a big
dirty ball of mischief, malfeasance and mendacity, with a touch of class
malice.'"


This piece lays out an interesting and fairly balanced view of the immigration. A topic that gets people upset and un-balanced when ever it is talked about.

American soldier in Iraq: We could stay 10 years and it won't fix anything - AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth

American soldier in Iraq: We could stay 10 years and it won't fix anything - AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth:

"But in Safstrom's view, the American presence is futile. 'If we stayed
here for 5, even 10 more years, the day we leave here these guys will go crazy,'
he said. 'It would go straight into a civil war. That's how it feels, like we're
putting a Band-Aid on this country until we leave here.'"


While I do believe that the troops have a right to a voice, I don't like the way that groups are using their statements. The troops in Iraq are Americans, and like all Americans they have a wide range of thoughts about the war, and if it is right to be there or not. There are troops out there that think the war is wrong and there are ones out there that think the war is right. What happens is that groups will seek out the troops that say the things that they want to hear, then they will promote that message. Sometimes it will be implied and others it will be stated, by the logic is that if a soldier is saying it, it must be true. The soldiers on the ground do see the war in ways that we will never know sitting in our homes, but they also miss things that the politicians see.

This does not respect the soldiers and their opinions, it abuses them and disrespects the opinions of those that hold views that are not favorable to the groups putting out the messages.

FlynetOnline.com Your Number 1 Source For Celebrity Images: Jessica and John: Breaking Up is Hard To Do!:

"Jessica Simpson and John Mayer try to re-kindle their romance on a
getaway to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico but things did not go according to plan. These
EXCLUSIVE photos show John and Jess having a fight on the balcony of their
$2,400 dollar-a-night ocean-front Villa. John holds Jess's dog Daisy while the
couple has an obviously emotional talk. Afterwards Jess holds her head in her
hands in tears. Looks like this may spell the end for Johnica..."


It appears the efforts to save the relationship failed. In the pictures Jessica looks sad, after John has left and she is alone. When things are over it is a sad time, but I think that Jessica will be ok. She has a lot of people who are behind her.

» Is Lindsay Back in Rehab? on The Evil Beet: Celebrity Gossip with an Evil Twist:

"InTouch Weekly is reporting that Lindsers checked into Britney’s alma
mater, Promises Malibu, on Monday afternoon. “She finally realizes it’s the
right thing to do,” a close friend tells the magazine. “She is going
willingly.”"


I hope that she can make a real change this time. If she doesn't get her life in order she is going to have more in common with her father than she wants. I think that her mother is a part of her problem, in that her mother doesn't do enough to stop her. I have heard her do interviews before and she has basically said, that Lindsay is an adult and she can't control her. Well it appears she can't control herself either. My sister thinks that Dina Lohan is crazy.

"If you're gonna steal pix, you're gonna get burned! Mario Lavandeira decided to
infringe one of our images, yet again -- as he does usually at least a few times
each week -- but this time we caught him with a decoy ...
X17 sent out this
week-old pix of Lindsay Lohan to our UK clients and captioned them like this:
First pix of Lindsay Lohan since dramatic crash with her Mercedes SL 65 in
Beverly Hills May 27, 2007 carrying medication May 27, 2007 X17online EXCLUSIVE
Mr. Hilton published the information from the caption and the caption's a
FAKE, JUST LIKE HIM! And though he always claims he doesn't know the origins of
the images he uses that are ours -- you can see that our captions clearly state
that the images are from X17. That's what you get when you read Perez!
The
real, exclusive Lindsay photos from early this morning are coming soon on X17!"

"I can JUST picture Tim Burton’s twist on the Marilyn Manson / Dita Von

to turn the failed marriage into a movie! It is all in the very beginning
stages. But Tim says he “is fascinated by Dita and Marilyn. They’re like a
living Brothers Grimm fairytale.” "


Yeah, they are like a fairy tale, but not any of the ones he is thinking about. I think they are more like a Disney fairy tale, I think you see it coming don't you. Yes it is Beauty and the Beast.

"Moms of twins - here is a question for you: Do you have two single strollers or
one double stroller? I am sure Marcia Cross has a little army of strollers for
her pumpkins to choose from. It just shocked me to see Marcia strolling outside
with her babies in separate carriages. I would never think to do that. Even with
another child on the way, I automatically bought a double. Thoughts?"


Well if the mother can afford three strollers, she should buy one double and two singles. That way if she is out walking with someone else, like the father - they can push one and the mother pushes the other. Also if for some reason she were to take only one of the children somewhere, she wouldn't need to take the huge stroller. Oh this is silly, just click on the link for the pictures.

While the official story is that she mixed alcohol with her medication and had a response to it that made her sick. The word going around is that she ate too many mushrooms and freaked out. You know the kind of mushrooms I am talking about.

Captain's Quarters

Captain's Quarters:

"The Democrats still have a Fox problem. They want to beat the network down as a
'propaganda' outlet despite its #1 rating for prime-time news, and despite the
connections that several prominent Democrats have forged with the network to
broaden their appeal to middle America:"


While it is true that Fox News leans to the right, if the Democratic party is going to survive and grow it has to find some way to reach beyond an audience of the left. I think that liberals have to find a way to reach conservatives views and conservatives have to find a way to reach liberals. Failing communication across borders, you end up with two countries, living side by side.
