Gossip-Maher, Corey Clark, Clueless Criminal; Pic of Week-Things Don't Work Out; Delaware-Six Months Off WITH Pay

 

Somebody Needs to Tell Corey Clark…

…that his claims that American Idol hasn’t helped him in his career don’t ring true. Where would this man be if not for his stint on American Idol? Not to mention his affair with Paula Abdul if his other claims are true. Not to mention, I must add, he can’t sing worth a lick.

From Yahoo.com

Corey Clark, the 2003 contestant who said Abdul coached him on song selection, helped buy him clothes to wear on television and eventually initiated a sexual relationship, appeared on ABC's "Good Morning America."

"I don't have any interest in helping `American Idol' out whatsoever, because they haven't helped me out whatsoever," Clark told ABC reporter John Quinones. "They made it very hard for me to do what I'm doing, which is my career."

They Say Possession is 9/10th’s of the law

And it’s from my home town of Baltimore which makes this clueless criminal tale a double hoot.

Seems the fellow stole a car which, imagine this, someone stole from him.

And he reports the theft!

You can’t make it up, folks. Note the snark, snark comment from the officer who wrote up the report.

From Fox News

Gregory Alston, a 20-year-old from Baltimore, called the cops Tuesday morning to say his white Nissan Maxima (search) had been taken, the Baltimore Sun reported.

But Officer Ronaldo Morales, who responded, already knew all about it — two hours earlier, he'd had the car towed after its real owner had spotted it in front of Alston's apartment building.

"Again, this really happened," Detective Gregory Jenkins signed off on his incident report

Asked and Guessed. Blind Item Fun

ASKED

WHICH former pop heart-throb shocked his few remaining fans with a
high-maintenance strop on a recent UK visit? The singer, who's been around the block but is desperate for a second chance at fame, bitched about how ugly his audience were, refused to sign fans' autographs and got so drunk he threw up under a table at a gig.

GUESSED

Jordan Knight, "been around the block", New Kid On The Block, was kinda bitchy on The Surreal Life.

It Seemed Only Fair
…Since I posted once about this palimony suit to now post about the suit’s dismissal.

 


What puzzles me is the insinuation that the lawsuit was thrown out because Maher is a confirmed bachelor. Is such a confirmation enough to throw out a palimony lawsuit?

Then I must ask why is Bill Maher a confirmed bachelor? Seems odd. Not unknown, but an odd thing to assert when one can not possibly know the future.

From IMDB.com

A $9 million palimony lawsuit filed against US comedian Bill Maher has been dismissed. Maher's ex-girlfriend Nancy 'Coco' Johnsen, a former model and flight attendant, claimed the comic reneged on a promise to marry her and support her for life. But a Superior Court judge in Los Angeles has thrown
out the suit, which alleged Maher had assaulted her. Maher filed a request
to dismiss the suit late last year, claiming he was a "confirmed bachelor"

 


 


 


Biden a Hypocrite?

I must gasp in disbelief.

Yet the sycophant Biden complains about Bolton but was caught being particularly nasty to an Aide.

From the Washington Times

Sen. Joseph Biden, one of Mr. Bolton's harshest critics these days, routinely bullies, browbeats and interrupts committee witnesses and has long been known to be rough on his staff. A favorite Biden anecdote is from the Senate confirmation hearings for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, where the senator, apparently thinking a microphone was off, could be heard by millions on national television snarling at an aide: "Go on, make yourself useful."

That “Delaware Sales Tax”

Well it’s not really a sales tax. It’s a “gross receipts” tax. Which causes the seller to pay a state retail tax on what he sells rather than the buyer. Which does, I suppose, bring in revenue from other states by those looking to avoid their own state’s sales tax.

Except, well no one wants to come to Delaware to gamble or shop because Nanny Minner won’t allow smoking. The vaunted casinos are dying here.

From a Delaware GOP email:

"While Delaware has no sales tax, it does have a hidden tax - the gross receipts tax," Mr. Wolfe said in a speech to legislators and other state officials.

Republican lawmakers have made cutting the tax a priority the past two years, but Democrats have resisted because they say state finances are not strong enough to support a tax cut over the long term.

Chaffinch Resigns!

With all the obfuscation by Nanny Minner and that gang in Wilmington it certainly is odd that with all their defense of this man he suddenly up and resigns. Must be nice to quit your job after a nice vacation of six months WITH pay.

Below is a quote from a Delaware GOP email. The comment by David Mitchell was made before Chaffinch resigned.

Wonder if he likes salt with his crow?

Department Secretary David Mitchell says he cannot go against his council's advice and release the charges against Colonel Aaron Chaffinch.

But Mitchell did say the facts will come out one day. When they do, Mitchell says, he'll continue to stand by his decision to suspend Chaffinch for nearly six months with pay, for acting improperly towards a female co-worker.

Nanny Can’t Let Go of Managing Delaware’s New Veterans’ home

Even though all across the land Veterans’ Homes are managed by the Veterans Affairs Commission, Nanny insists that Delaware’s Veterans’ Home be managed “jointly” (as if that will ever work) by the Veterans’ Affairs Commission and Delaware’s Division of Health and Social Services.

Nanny wants to keep her government employee campaign contributors happy.

From Delaware GOP

The Veterans Affairs Commission says it doesn't want the Division of Health and Social Services to have "oversight control" of the state's veterans's home.

The home isn't even built yet, but Veteran's Commission Chairman Jim Thompson says he wants the commission to have administrative oversight.
