A Little Gossip and Speculation is Worth Some Time for Rumination
POP CULTURE STORY OF THE WEEK!
The Marlboro Man Joins the Military!
And he still smokes!
The picture of this young army fellow has captured the loins of young (and old) women across the country.
What’s even more interesting is that cigarette dangling from his hardened, handsome lips. The liberals have to be losing sleep. And yet for the all the punditry the past few weeks since this picture surfaced, I’ve yet to hear complaints from those who would rip our cigarettes from our mouths, throw them upon the ground and stomp them furiously for our stupidity.
I guess even the liberals understand when you’re in a dangerous place like this fellow, more than likely a bullet will kill you before the cigarette.
Star Jones Gets Married
Photos -
Goodness, what on earth is Hillary doing there? Must be part of her re-election campaign. As for us idiots out here in la-la land, we’re glad it’s over. We await the divorce.
NEW YORK - Star Jones, co-host of ABC's "The View," married banker Al Reynolds in a star-studded Park Avenue bash.
Notables ranging from Spike Lee to Sen. Hillary Clinton packed into St.
Bartholomew's Church Saturday to watch Jones, 42, who wore a a designer
strapless wedding dress with a 27-foot train, exchange vows with Reynolds.
"The train was so long it took about seven people to carry it," said friend and
guest Valerie Simpson, songwriter and half of the R&B duo Ashford and Simpson.
With songstress Patti LaBelle performing, and a bridal party including Natalie
Cole, Vivica A. Fox and Holly Robinson Peete, the storybook wedding lasted
until 8 p.m. before moving to the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel for an equally
celebrity-heavy reception.
"I smiled a lot," said Jones' "The View" co-host Barbara Walters. "I was happy
for her. She had the biggest smile I've ever seen."
Rap Awards Show Ends in Violence.
We’d like to see this sort of thing at the Emmys and Oscars.
MSNBC
People began shoving, chairs were thrown and punches flew. Some in the audience of about 1,000 scurried for the exits. Alicia Keys, the night’s top winner with awards for artist of the year and best R&B song, was among those who fled.
The Celebrities Advise Us Again
Beginning with Linda Ronstadt of the breathy vapid singing voice, expert on domestic policy, as she explains the comparisons between the Third Reich and the Bush Administration. According to the National Review:
Singer Ronstadt says of Bush's reelection: "It’s like Germany, before Hitler took over. The economy was bad and people felt kicked around. They looked for a scapegoat. Now we’ve got a new bunch of Hitlers.”
Now we don’t think allowing innocent animals to fight to an awful death for the visual benefit of humans to be a good thing. Nature’s tough enough without forcing the animals to entertain us with their death.
But the thought of Pamela Anderson taking up the fight against cock fighting just makes us smile. Who knows how many “cockfights” Pamela’s caused? But I’ll shut up now.
Pamela Anderson Weighs in on N.M. Cockfighting
Albuquerque Journal | 11/14/04 | The Associated Press
SANTA FE — Actress Pamela Anderson has asked Gov. Bill Richardson to outlaw cockfighting in New Mexico, one of only two states that still allows it.
"The whole country is watching, especially Hollywood, which your office actively courts for the film business," Anderson wrote in a letter released by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
Richardson's office did not immediately return a call Tuesday from The Associated Press seeking comment. Richardson could ask the legislative session that begins in January to outlaw the practice.
Bill Maher Hit With Palimony Suit
Smirk, smirk, smirk. Grandmother really dislikes this guy. Thus, his troubles make me smile.
From the Smoking Gun:
NOVEMBER 11--Comedian Bill Maher was slapped yesterday with a $9
>>>million palimony suit by an ex-girlfriend who alleges that the HBO star
>>>subjected her to physical and verbal abuse, including "insulting,
>>>humiliating and degrading racial comments." In the below Los Angeles
>>>Superior Court complaint, Nancy Johnson, a centerfold model and former
>>>flight attendant also known as Coco Johnsen, alleges that Maher, 48,

Asked and Guessed. Blind Item Fun
Who is Typhoid Mary?
WHICH on-air news commentator was known as the "Typhoid Mary" of President Bush's campaign plane? The talking head coughed and sneezed so much, one newsproducer finally confronted her and told her to cover her mouth — but it wastoo late and a lot of other reporters got sick . . .
We offer two guesses to this item. Mara Liasson is always coughing and sneezing when she works as a pundit on Fox’s Brit Hume’s daily news show. Or, just throwing something out there, Andrea Mitchell?
UN Advises Swarm Victims to Eat Locusts
We can always count on the UN to do its job as that vaunted international body we come to rely on in situations of mass famine and Aids epidemics.
Here we have information about the great UN cookbook for…tada…LOCUSTS!
If you can’t beat them, eat them. Perhaps the UN should have strung up Saddam and roasted him on a spit.
Did Kofi turn to bible for recipes? Uncharacteristically mum since the re-election of President George W. Bush, United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan seems to have been spending his time peeking into the Bible.
How else to explain how Cypriot farmers, beset with a plague of locusts, are being advised on a UN website to eat them?
Reminding farmers that locusts are protein rich, UN rubes advise that you can boil, stir-fry or roast them. Recipes for making the locusts a dinner plate item are available by logging on to the UN’s Rome-based Food and Cultural Organization (FCO).
This “Gossip” Should Be a Crime
That famous “Gay American”, New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevy, who has now resigned in disgrace, evidently put his public image ahead of public safety. NOT for being homosexual, mind you. There’s that little matter of appointing unqualified lovers as NJ’s Director of Homeland Security. A heterosexual would be drummed out of office for the same thing.
I did some snooping and discover that Governor McGreevy participated in a state-wide blood donor campaign in 2003. The Red Cross specifically requires potential blood donors sign a document stating that they have not engaged in any “risky” behavior, which would include homosexual sex at a time when Aids was very much a reality.
This little story is circulating around the Internet and there’s proof that indeed, Jim McGreevy DID donate blood right when he was hot and heavy in that affair with his Israeli Director of NJ Homeland Security. However, and this is interesting, the actual web site of the Governor DOES document McGreevy’s blood donation, BUT they have removed the picture of the Governor giving his possibly tainted blood.
HERE at the NJ Governor’s own web site.
An electronic photo of the Governor giving blood is available upon request.
