Here we are following on the heels of one of the most sacred holidays this country has, Memorial Day, and there is no shutting up of the biggest offender of such a day. I'm talking about the Dick Cheney. To make matters worse, we not only have this slimeball lying warmonger showing up everywhere, but his daughter is becoming the Paula Abdul of politics talking gibberish in support of her father.Cheney has appeared on every show imaginable with the exception of only Dancing with the Stars, Super Nanny and Cops. That is the one show he deserves to be on. How the man who has had a consciencetomy preformed at some time between his 3rd and 5th deferment to keep him out of the Vietnam war, can go on all these shows and continue to lie his balls (I forgot, he doesn't have any) on these shows is beyond bizarre. Just listen to him talk about how his policy's of "enhanced interrogation" have saved millions of Americans from being attacked again and you want to shoot someone in the face. Oh I forgot, he already did that. You have to think that George Bush, who is hiding somewhere in Houston, has to be Heh-heh-heh-ing secretly rooting Dick on. Nothing Cheney can say will ever convince a thinking American that what he and his henchmen did to this country is short of treason and fits the definition of war criminal.
It's official: Tonight's season finale of Reaper is the last you'll see of the tale of a luckless slacker whose parents sold his soul to the Devil pre-birth, and now must hunt down escaped souls from Hell as hilarity ensues. But at least The CW will have more room on the schedule for ripped-off/skanked-up '90s teen soaps, right?
Join protesters tonight for a rally at the capitol in defiance of California's recent upholding of the controversial gay marriage ban. As usual, this should be a good time for supporters and critics of this divisive proposition to do some shouting!
Apparently convinced that the post-Memorial Day Tuesday is one for recovering from sunburn or watching movies in theaters, the DVD industry as a whole apparently abandoned the day. How else to explain why New in Town -- the Renee Zellweger rom-com flop from earlier this year -- is the highest profile debut?
Boxer Mike Tyson's 4 year old daughter is still on life support after she was found with her neck caught in the cord of a treadmill machine at the family home.Apparently, her 7 year old brother found her on the treadmill with her neck in the cord.Police are saying that she either slipped, or put her head inside the loop of the cord. Either way she is in "extremely critical condition."Ok, I will be the first to say it.Why was the 4 year old girl playing on a treadmill unattended?Tyson was out of town, but the child’s mother was in the house, and apparently the 7 year old brother was not watching the child either, until he found her unconscious.I hope she makes it, and comes through unscarred.However, tragic accidents happen every day.This one could have (and should have) been avoided.
I have a soft spot for Marilyn Manson. In interviews and on film he's proven himself to be a smart, witty individual who takes in stride typically laughable criticism.
