Gossip: Blind Items Galore. Some Guesses Supplied.

A Little Gossip and Speculation is Worth Some Time for Rumination

Helen Thomas Calls Condaleeza Rice a ‘Monster’ and Bush a ‘Fascist”

According to NewsMax, that grand old dame, impartial journalist and closet liberal, had some choice thoughts about the new Secretary of State.

NewsMax bumped into Thomas in the lobby of New York's Waldorf-Astoria as she waited for a lunch date.

Asked about the election result, the sharp-tongued reporter simply put her hand on her face and said, "My God, the man is a fascist -- a fascist, I tell you."

She warned that Bush's victory will mean one thing: more war. She expects Iran to be next.

But surely Thomas, a female reporter who succeeded decades ago in a "man's world," had some empathy about Condi's appointment.

As we suggested the notion, a look of horror came over Thomas' face.

"I tell you, the women is a monster, a monster, a monster," she kept saying.

Asked why she was so angry with Condi, Thomas explained that the national security adviser had lied about the Iraq war and "thousands had died."


Slowly they all shed their veneers and show their true liberal selves, eh?

Asked and Guessed. Blind Item Fun

20 Strangest Albums EVER

Came across this entry in a newsgroup and thought the concept intriguing. Below are a few examples of his “nominations” for this category. Below this is a link to the complete list.

8. The Addicts Sing Nine Former Addicts (1975)

Former drug addicts sing gospel harmony in jail and get both early release
and a record release. On the cover, their disembodied heads float in front
of the Manhattan skyline at night, with a graphic drawing of an arm and
syringe on the back. They managed one song quite well.

20. MrMethane.com (2000)

As an ideal end note, an album of "controlled anal voicing" by "the world's
only performing flatulist", a young Englishman who wears a cape, green
bodysuit and mask. Tracks include Greensleeves and Beethoven's 1812
Overture.


Methinks this is an out of the box notion and especially the comments and explanations.

POP CULTURE STORY OF THE WEEK!

Michael Moore Wins Top Frigid Celebrity of Year

“Instead, the Frigid 50 focuses on the celebrities who have ‘left audiences cold with their overbearing personalities, poor career choices and chronic inability to stop making fools of themselves.’ Moore got the ‘honour’ because of what the editors saw as an oversized ego: ‘Remember, it's not always about you. Lose the chip on your shoulder,’ the poll advised. It continued: ‘No presidential candidate endorsed by Michael Moore has ever won an election. So, Michael, why not endorse a Republican in 2008, just to see what happens?’"

Protecting the Children from Their Name

Came across this little story about the Danes and how the government wants to dictate what they name their children. The logic being, innocent children shouldn’t be shouldered with odd names. Below a perspective on this, yet another example of liberal lunacy’s quest to stop hurt feelings.

“There's something rotten in Denmark. . . . It seems Danish parents can't name their children anything they want. The government, there, is out to protect the children. Children can easily be teased about their names, so parents are forced to request special permission from the government for anything out of the ordinary - by Danish standards.

“Now, I feel sorry for some kids, stuck with goofy names. But I've noticed that what I think goofy may not be what you think goofy. And kids and adults often adopt the goofiest names for themselves. And other kids make fun of the most normal of names.

“...What stinks is...this idea that everything good must be somehow promoted by government, and everything bad fought by it. Names should be a matter left to common sense, not government boards. If we can't keep government out of this area, where won't it go?”

- Paul Jacob’s “Common Sense,” 11/19/04
