Bush this Year

What began as a troubling year for Bush, facing a new, energetic Democratic Congress, ended in triumph for the president as frustrated Democrats nursed their losses. Democrats failed in their No. 1 objective to stop the war in Iraq and bowed to Bush and his veto threats on tax policies, energy legislation, children's health insurance and general spending. After months of bitter fights, Bush said the year was ending on a high note.

STY: Yes, it is. For George Bush. And nobody else.

Don't Speak!

One of three top suspects in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway wrote during an Internet chat session that the teenager was dead, Aruba's chief prosecutor said Thursday. Prosecutor Hans Mos refused to identify the person who wrote the message but said its discovery had contributed to the decision to re-arrest Joran van der Sloot and brothers Deepak and Satish Kalpoe last month. The men were subsequently released after they refused to speak to authorities about newly uncovered evidence.

STY: Oh...well, if they refuse to speak then by all means, let them go.

Greedy

President Bush signed into law Wednesday legislation that will bring more fuel-efficient vehicles into auto showrooms and require wider use of ethanol, calling it "a major step" toward energy independence and easing global warming. The legislation signed by Bush at a ceremony at the Energy Department requires automakers to increase fuel efficiency by 40 percent to an industry average 35 miles per gallon by 2020. It also ramps up production of ethanol use to 36 billion gallons a year by 2022. The bill also calls for improved energy efficiency of appliances such as refrigerators, freezers and dishwashers, and a 70 percent increase in the efficiency of light bulbs. It also calls for energy efficiency improvements in federal buildings and construction of commercial buildings. The new lighting standards alone are projected to lower consumers' annual electricity bills by $13 billion in 2020, remove the need for 60 mid-size power plants and reduce emissions of carbon dioxide, the leading greenhouse gas, by 100 million tons a year, said the advocacy group Alliance to Save Energy. Democrats said the fuel economy requirements will save motorists $700 to $1,000 a year in fuel costs and reduce oil demand by 1.1 million barrels a day when the fuel-stingy vehicles are widely on the road.

Does anyone really believe this will EVER happen? Energy companies and car manufacturers will willingly give up all that profit for the good of the Earth...and its people? And the government (who gets kickbacks from each) will willingly push it through? Doubtful.

Florida vs. Same-Sex Marriage

Florida voters may have a chance next year to approve a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage. Voters may decide next year whether Florida will become the 28th state to place a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage. Sponsors of the proposed ban claim that they have gathered the required 611,009 signatures necessary for a referendum vote, but Florida's Division of Elections website shows the group is 253 signatures short of its goal, the Associated Press reported Friday. An election official has yet to formally verify the signatures. Florida currently prohibits same-sex marriage, but John Stemberger, an Orlando attorney heading the group opposed to marriage equality, said a constitutional ban would prevent judges from overturning the law.

"We believe kids need a mom and a dad, very simply," Stemberger told the AP. "Moms and dads bring something different to the table. Dads are not optional."

Who's talking about kids? I thought we were talking about marriage? Somebody get Jamie Lynn Spears on the phone -- STAT!

Bridging the Gap

In a year in which most films dealing with conflicting world cultures have failed to excite moviegoers, the makers of "The Kite Runner" hope to win audiences by bridging the divide of race and ethnicity.

...by hiding the young actors from their own country...

Pssst! I think one of them named their teddy bear Mohammed!

Family Values

Jamie Lynn Spears, the 16-year-old "Zoey 101" star and sister of Britney, told OK! magazine that she's pregnant and that the father is her boyfriend, Casey Aldridge. What message does she want to send to other teens about premarital sex? "I definitely don't think it's something you should do; it's better to wait," she told the magazine.

Of course it is, Jamie Lynn. Of course it is... Thank YOU for showing us the way.

Lynne Spears, already grandmother to Britney's young sons, told the magazine: "I didn't believe it because Jamie Lynn's always been so conscientious. She's never late for her curfew. I was in shock. I mean, this is my 16-year-old baby."

Apparently, they started the dates with sex instead of wasting time with dinner and a movie.

But in a recent interview with The Associated Press, Spears said she had no steady boyfriend. "I kind of just keep my options open," she said. "I have a bunch of friends that I always hang out with, a bunch of guy friends."

"So...although I say that the baby is Casey's, I'm really not sure. It's anyone's guess."

Jamie Lynn plans to raise the baby in her home state of Louisiana — "so it can have a normal family life."

So...you can have a 'normal' family life in Louisiana?

On a similar topic, Lynne Spears, Britney's and Jamie Lynn's mother, was writing a book on family values...only, not so much anymore. "The book is delayed indefinitely. It's delayed, not canceled," a spokesperson for Thomas Nelson, which publishes inspirational books and Bibles. Not that they're turning their backs on the Spears family. "We are standing behind Lynne at this time and understand that she needs time with her family–-we support that," says the spokesperson.

That's great. Just what America needs. Lynne Spears telling everyone how to raise children with 'family values.' Maybe that's what's considered 'normal' in Louisiana. Thank God for the Religious Right to show us "Sinners" the way.

What the French are up to

In politics, as in good comedy, timing is everything, and news that France's President Nicolas Sarkozy is dating Italian model turned singer Carla Bruni has raised a wry smile or three after a week of bad political headlines. "I'm monogamous from time to time, but I prefer polygamy and polyandry (a woman with more than one husband)," Bruni told the Figaro Madame magazine in February. "Love lasts a long time, but burning desire, two or three weeks," said Bruni.

She continued, "Burning pee lasts until the ointment is applied..."

Making the irreconcilable reconcilable

THIS JUST IN: Pamela Anderson has reconciled with her third husband just three days after filing for divorce to end their two-month marriage. In a divorce petition filed on Friday in Los Angeles, Anderson, 40, cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the breakdown of her marriage to Rick Salomon--best known for being a part of Paris Hilton's sex tape. But on Monday, Anderson wrote in her website diary: "We're working things out."

Pamela continued, "I didn't want to be rash or anything. Some people get married right away like it totally means nothing. I wasn't like that with my first marriage. Or my second. And I'm not going to be like that with my third, fourth, or fifth. Besides, Rick and I haven't gotten OUR sex tape out on the Internet..."

Award Shows, the Writers Strike Continues...

Two of Hollywood's most glamorous events are now caught up in the entertainment industry's ugliest labor dispute in two decades. The Writers Guild of America, West, will not allow its members to write for the Golden Globes on Jan. 13 nor the Academy Awards on Feb. 24.

Wait a minute...are you telling me that someone actually writes that shit? And gets paid for it? Where did I go wrong?

Reply: All Users

We were looking into getting a condo. We saw an ad for one new place that was going up and signed up for more information on their website. A mass email went out to everyone who signed up online (about 100 people) from the condo company. They didn't bcc everyone, so you could see everyone who received the email.

One idiot (a "senior" loan officer) wrote back, copying everyone again, saying, "Just a FYI - You should really think about Bcc emailing all of these email addresses rather than emailing everyone the way you did due to the fact that now everyone’s email address is public to all these people on this email you sent."

So, basically, after chastising the company in front of everyone, he did the same thing. As if that wasn't bad enough, he then sends another email to everyone on the list, saying, "Please understand that a previous email was sent to all of you by me accidentally, I was actually replying just to [the condo company]. Once again my apologies."

Bwahahahaha! What a fucking idiot! He's a senior loan officer for a fucking mortgage company and he just made a fool of himself in front of prospective condo buyers!

Daughtry Rocks!

Seeing Daughtry in concert was spectacular. The man knows how to put on a great show and has the fantastic voice to back it up.

I thought I'd feel out of place at the concert, like we'd be too "old" or something. The weird thing was that we were out of place...but for a different reason. The auditorium was filled with rednecks. Especially Randy the Redneck behind us (I named him). He was a trucker-type about 45-50, there with his fat wife, and teenage pimply son. I got to hear his renditions of the songs, too, which was an added bonus since Randy can't carry a tune worth shit.

It's Friday, I'm in Love

ROME (Reuters) - An Italian court has ruled that a couple could not name their son "Friday" and ordered that he instead be called Gregory after the saint whose feast day he was born on. Friday/Gregory Germano was born in Genoa 15 months ago. The parents registered him as Friday in the city hall and a priest even baptised him as Friday -- unusual in Italy since many priests insist that first names be of Christian origin. "We named him Friday because we like the sound of the name. Even if it would have been a girl, we would have named her Friday," the boy's mother, Mara Germano, told Reuters.

When the boy was about five months old, a city hall clerk brought the odd name to the attention of a tribunal, which informed the couple of an administrative norm which bars parents from giving "ridiculous or shameful" first names to children. The tribunal said it was protecting the child from being the butt of jokes and added that it believed the name would hinder him from developing "serene interpersonal relationships." The Germano family appealed but lost their case this month and the story was carried on the front page of a national newspaper on Tuesday (not Friday).

When ordered to change the name, the parents refused and the court ruled the boy would be legally registered as Gregory because he was born on that saint's feast day. "I am livid about this," the boy's mother said. "A court should not waste its time with things like this when there is so much more to worry about. My son was born Friday, baptised Friday, will call himself Friday, we will call him Friday but when he gets older he will have to sign his name Gregory," she said.

You go, girl! If you want to name your child something stupid because you can't think of anything other than to name the baby after the day on which he was born, then you go right ahead. That's your prerogative. By the way, I hear K-Fed is looking to spread his seed some more. Interested?

Madonna Gets Inducted Into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

After the announcement was made for this year's inductees, all I heard were people on the radio (and out and about) bitching that Madonna had been inducted. It pissed me off. Look at her contributions to music over the past 20+ years...and it hasn't stopped yet.

I think the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is more of a "music" hall of fame, if anything. Technically, does Rock and Roll still exist? Or has it evolved into just Rock? This ain't "Great Balls of Fire" anymore! Nobody made a big deal when a contemporary, Prince, was inducted. Or how about Michael Jackson? Isn't he the "King of Pop?" How about Jackson Browne? Isn't he like soft rock or easy listening or something? The Bee Gees? Disco. Bob Marley? Reggae. REM (I wouldn't consider them Rock and Roll)? Alternative. Righteous Brothers? And the list goes on and on...

Maybe the thing to do is to rename the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to the Music Hall of Fame and bring it into modern day. With so much emphasis on diversity today, isn't the thing to do to be inclusive?

Smokin'!

Walt Disney Co. became the first major Hollywood studio to ban depictions of smoking, saying there would be no smoking in its family-oriented, Disney-branded films and it would "discourage" it in films distributed by its Touchstone and Miramax labels. Disney Chief Executive Robert Iger also said in a letter to U.S. Rep. Edward Markey, whose committee last month held hearings on the effects of movie images on children, that the studio would place anti-smoking public service announcements on DVDs of any future films that feature cigarette smoking.

Give me a fucking break... I grew up watching I Love Lucy and Bugs Bunny reruns where they were smoking all the time. Did I turn to smoking? No. It's a bunch of crap. It's pressure from OTHER kids, not movies or TV or whatnot, that make kids start smoking.

He said the company would encourage theater owners to show screen anti-smoking public service announcements, or PSAs, before such films. Iger cautioned, however, that "cigarette smoking is a unique problem and this PSA effort is not a precedent for any other issue." Markey described Disney's commitment as "groundbreaking" and urged other studios to follow suit.

It's "stupid," that's what it is. God forbid there be smoking, but throw in all the sex and violence (and worse, stupid storylines and dialogue!) you want into a film!

Research cited by American Legacy, a nonprofit created out of landmark litigation between the tobacco industry and states attorneys general, shows that 90 percent of all films depict smoking and children with the highest exposure to smoking in movies were nearly three times more likely to start smoking. Tobacco is featured in three-quarters of G, PG and PG-13 rated movies and 90 percent of R-rated movies, the studies showed.

Research cited by the NewsWired Puppy Foundation is that 90 percent of all films suck.

Video Game Ratings

A federal judge ruled a California law to label violent video games and bar their sale to minors was unconstitutional, prompting Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to say he would appeal the ruling. California passed a law in 2005 regulating video games with strong support from Schwarzenegger, the former star of many violent action films. Legislators argued violent video games could bring psychological harm and spark aggressive behavior in minors. The Video Software Dealers Association and the Entertainment Software Association promptly sued to block the law, arguing their games were protected under the First Amendment's protection of free speech.

Judge Ronald Whyte, who had previously granted a preliminary injunction against the law, issued a permanent order that also cited conclusions from judges facing similar laws in other states. "At this point, there has been no showing that violent video games as defined in the Act, in the absence of other violent media, cause injury to children," he wrote in his decision. "In addition, the evidence does not establish that video games, because of their interactive nature or otherwise, are any more harmful than violent television, movies, Internet sites or other speech-related exposures. Although some reputable professional individuals and organizations have expressed particular concern about the interactive nature of video games, there is no generally accepted study that supports that concern."

Does this mean we can get rid of the rigid movie ratings, too? Aren't they the same thing?

@

A Chinese couple tried to name their baby "@", claiming the character used in e-mail addresses echoed their love for the child, an official trying to whip the national language into line said on Thursday. The unusual name stands out especially in Chinese, which has no alphabet and instead uses tens of thousands of multi-stroke characters to represent words. "The whole world uses it to write e-mail, and translated into Chinese it means 'love him'," the father explained, according to the deputy chief of the State Language Commission Li Yuming. While the "@" simple is familiar to Chinese e-mail users, they often use the English word "at" to sound it out -- which with a drawn out "T" sounds something like "ai ta", or "love him", to Mandarin speakers.

No, it fucking means "at," you freaks. Who do you think you are, Prince? Just stick with a fucking regular name, okay? When he grows up, what's his email address going to be? @@yahoo.com? I'm sure that's not an acceptable email address and he'll be sadly disappointed. Do you really want him to cry because he can't use his name in his email address? CHING CHONG!

Balls of Fury: the movie

Synopsis: A disgraced former ping pong champion is drawn back into the world of high-stakes underground table tennis to carry out a top-secret mission. Far removed from the rigidly regulated world of professional sports, clandestine ping pong tournaments offer thrilling competition where only the strong survive. There was a time when the mere mention of the name Randy Daytona was enough to make even those most hardened ping pong player cower in fear, but these days Randy has fallen out of favor with ping-pong fans. The former champ soon receives a much-needed shot at redemption, however, when he is recruited by a determined FBI agent named Rodriguez to win a coveted spot in the upcoming underground table tennis tournament and ferret out the nefarious Feng, whose thriving criminal empire has transformed him into a true menace to society.

For me, I would like to know exactly what the studio head was thinking when that pitch was made to him.

"It's like a Fight Club...for ping-pong players!" explained the writer.

"Yes...I LOVE IT!" shouted the executive. "I'm greenlighting that right away! Underground ping-pong tournaments? That's never been done before. It'll blow people's minds and they'll pay millions of dollars to see that. Go get it started! Here's $40 million to start. Oh, and be sure to hire one of the worst actors ever: Christopher Walken. Go to it! Hey...pass me another joint on your way out, will ya?"

Lindsay's back!

Lindsay Lohan is fresh out of rehab and already back in the tabloids. In postrehab sitdowns with a pair of celebrity weeklies, Lohan called her time at Utah's Cirque Lodge treatment center a life-changing experience. "It made me look at myself and all of the people, places and things in my life in a different way," the 21-year-old star told OK! magazine.

"People were a lot less blurry..." she continued...

The Secret Tapes of Larry Craig

Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho may reconsider his resignation if he is cleared of a disorderly conduct charge to which he pleaded guilty last month, his spokesman said Tuesday. Sen. Larry Craig, R-Idaho, announced his resignation Saturday in Boise, Idaho. Dan Whiting said it was still the GOP senator's intention to resign effective September 30, "however, he is fighting these charges and should he be cleared before then, he may -- I emphasize may -- not resign." Craig on Saturday announced his intention to resign after almost a week of speculation. But in a voice mail obtained by the Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call, Craig appears to tell his attorney before that announcement that that he is going to change his statement.

"Senator Craig, did you have sex in the bathroom with another man?"

"Yes, I did. No...wait...I didn't! I was...um...just reaching for some toilet paper!"

"Senator Craig, are you going to resign?"

"Yes, I am. No...wait...I'm not! Wait...I am! No...I'm not!"

"Senator Craig, are you hypocritical lying fucking idiot?"

"No, I'm not. Wait...I am!"

New Dinosaur

The skeleton of what is believed to be a new dinosaur species — a 105-foot plant-eater that is among the largest dinosaurs ever found — has been uncovered in Argentina, scientists said Monday. Scientists from Argentina and Brazil said the Patagonian dinosaur appears to represent a previously unknown species of Titanosaur because of the unique structure of its neck. They named it Futalognkosaurus dukei after the Mapuche Indian words for "giant" and "chief," and for Duke Energy Argentina, which helped fund the skeleton's excavation.

Futalognkosaurus dukei? Why don't they just send him off to school with a big "kick me" sign on his tail?

The Gay Gene Controversy

Lead researcher Dr. Alan Sanders thinks there's probably no single "gay gene"; rather, several genes may interact with other factors to yield gayness. Julio and Mauricio Cabrera are gay brothers who are convinced their sexual orientation is as deeply rooted as their Mexican ancestry. They are among 1,000 pairs of gay brothers taking part in the largest study to date seeking genes that may influence whether people are gay. The Cabreras hope the findings will help silence critics who say homosexuality is an immoral choice. If fresh evidence is found suggesting genes are involved, perhaps homosexuality will be viewed as no different than other genetic traits like height and hair color, said Julio, a student at DePaul University in Chicago.

Um...you're trying to convince the same people who don't believe in evolution and that things just "magically" appeared out of nowhere.

TV Study

Watching too much television may not only help make children fat, it may also raise their blood pressure, U.S. researchers said on Tuesday. They found obese children who watched four or more hours of TV a day were three times more likely to have high blood pressure than children who watched less than two hours a day. "There is a significant association between hours of television watched and both the severity of obesity and the presence of hypertension in obese children," Dr. Jeffrey Schwimmer of the University of California, San Diego and colleagues wrote in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.

Are you sure it's not the entire bag of Cheetos they're eating while they watch TV?

News from an Organization AGAINST Gay Men

The American Red Cross ousted its president, Mark Everson, after learning that he had engaged in a "personal relationship" with a subordinate employee. Everson, the former commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service, took the Red Cross job last May as the charity sought to restructure itself after sharp criticism of its response to Hurricane Katrina. In a statement, the Red Cross said its board of governors asked for and received Everson's resignation, effective immediately, after learning within the past two weeks of the relationship with a woman on the Red Cross staff. The Red Cross also released a statement from Everson, who is married and has two children."I am resigning for personal and family reasons, and deeply regret it is impossible for me to continue a job so recently undertaken," he said. The development was a blow to the Red Cross as it was making progress in overcoming image problems arising from its response to Katrina and the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

Coming from the organization that won't accept blood donations in times of need (such as 9/11) from gay men...

Fair Trade

Caribou Coffee Co. announces their new Fair Trade coffee.

And speaking of fair trades, Caribou is replacing Chairman and CEO Michael J. Coles, who oversaw the growth of the nation's second-largest coffee chain but not of its stock price. A regulatory filing Tuesday said that in six months Coles would get $1.35 million in exchange for agreeing not to sue for "termination without good cause." Coles will stay with the company as a director.

You suck, but we're going to give you $1.35 million dollars of money we don't have because of your crappy work AND we're going to keep you on staff, too. You can shuffle papers, right?

Crazy Woman Names Teddy Bear!

KHARTOUM, Sudan - British teacher Gillian Gibbons was convicted of insulting Islam for letting her pupils name a teddy bear Muhammad and sentenced to 15 days in prison and deportation from Sudan, one of her defense lawyers said Thursday. Ali Mohammed Ajab, of Gibbons' defense team, said she was found guilty of "insulting the faith of Muslims in Sudan" under Article 125 of the Sudanese criminal code, a lighter conviction than the original charge of inciting religious hatred. A charge later confirmed by a judge leaving the closed court session. "It's a very fair verdict, she could have had six months and lashes and a fine, and she only got 15 days and deportation," said Robert Boulos of the Unity High School, confirming there would be no appeal. He noted that she would only spend 10 days in prison, having already served five.

Don't bring her to the U.S.! She'll go crazy and name her dog Jesus or something!

Republicans can SUCK IT (if it's not too earth-friendly for them)

The House approved the first increase in federal automobile fuel efficiency requirements in three decades Thursday as part of an energy bill that also repeals billions of dollars oil company tax breaks and encourages use of renewable fuels.

The bill would roll back $13.5 billion in tax breaks enjoyed by the five largest U.S. oil companies with the money to be used for tax incentives for development of renewable energy, including cellulosic ethanol from grasses and wood chips and biodiesel, and to spur energy efficiency programs and conservation."There's nothing in here that's going to lower gas prices in America ... nothing that is going to help American families deal with heating costs this winter ... nothing to increase production," complained Republican leader John Boehner of Ohio.

The centerpiece of the bill is a requirement to boost automobile fuel economy by 40 percent to an industry average of 35 miles per gallon by 2020, the first such increase since 1975, when Congress enacted the federal auto fuel economy requirements. Pelosi garnered enough support to assure passage by working out a deal with Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., a longtime staunch protector of the auto industry. Dingell more than a year ago warned auto executives the tide had turned on fuel economy and it was inevitable that stricter requirements were in the offing. He got some concessions to help the industry in return for his support of the bill.The White House said if Congress passes the bill President Bush will be advised to veto it.

"The bill raises taxes in a way that will increase energy costs facing consumers," the White House said a statement, calling the new taxes on the oil companies unfairly "punitive" to a single industry. The White House also objected to the requirement for electric utilities nationwide to use renewable fuels such as wind and solar to generate 15 percent of their electricity, saying some regions can't comply with such a mandate without higher electricity costs.

Pelosi was determined to get the bill through the House this week with Senate action likely next week before lawmakers depart for the holiday recess. Her decision to insist on including the tax increases on oil companies — costing them $13.5 billion in taxes over 10 years — surprised even some environmentalists and set the stage for a contentious fight in the Senate where Republican leaders have indicated they will try to strip it from the bill.

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said Thursday an energy bill could pass the Senate, but without the "twin millstones of tax hikes and utility bill increases around its neck."Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada told reporters he will move quickly to take up the bill if it passes the House. When asked about its prospects, Reid said, "I don't know. We're going to try very hard."

I Am Legend (everywhere in Asia but China)

Will Smith's new sci-fi thriller, "I Am Legend," is hitting movie theaters across Asia later this month — but not in China. The delay in the film's approval comes amid a report that China has issued a temporary ban on American movies to boost the country's domestic film industry — a move the country's regulator has denied.

And..."there's not enough lead in it to meet our standards."

the other Baldwin brother

Daniel Baldwin's attorney said he will ask a judge to cancel an arrest warrant issued for the actor, calling Baldwin's recent failure to show up in court a mix-up. A Superior Court judge issued the no-bail bench warrant Friday and revoked Baldwin's probation when he didn't appear in court to give a progress report on his drug rehabilitation. The 47-year-old actor was required to meet with the judge in connection with a cocaine-possession case.
Baldwin was aware of the hearing and contacted his probation officer Thursday to report that he couldn't make it because he was in Canada shooting a movie, said his attorney, Grant Hoagland, adding the message apparently didn't reach the judge. "It was a miscommunication," he said Monday.

That, and the judge didn't believe that the least famous Baldwin brother was actually "making a movie."

Paris Helps Protect the Environment

Paris Hilton is making a personal contribution to protecting the environment. "I changed all the light bulbs to energy-safe light bulbs and I'm buying a hybrid car right now," the 26-year-old celebrity heiress said Wednesday.

Translation: "I had my servants change all the light bulbs to energy-safe light bulbs and my daddy is buying me a hybrid car right now."

Hilton told reporters she's looking for a boyfriend and knows exactly what qualities Mr. Right should possess. "Right now I'm single but I am looking for a nice boy," she said. "He should be funny, smart and loyal."

Translation: "Right now I'm single but I am looking for a hot stud," she said. "He should be hung like a horse, not afraid to be filmed during sex, and be able to fuck me into next week."

3-Year-Old Dies In Inflatable Toy Accident

LONGVIEW, Wash. -- A 3-year-old boy died Saturday when two adults fell on top of him while they were playing on an inflatable toy. Family members said Jacob Pierce was attending a birthday party at Hoppin’ Houses, an indoor play area that features inflatable houses. Witnesses said the adults fell and either an elbow, shoulder or knee cracked open Jacob’s head. Paramedics responded and found Jacob bleeding from the nose and mouth. He had suffered traumatic head injuries and was pronounced dead at St. John’s Medical Center in Longview. Rebecca Pierce, Jacob's mother, said her son's death could've been prevented if there was more employee supervision. "You need to have more (supervision) than just an 18-year-old sitting at the counter," Pierce said.

You're right, Rebecca. It should never be the parents' responsibility or whomever you leave in charge of your children. And you definitely shouldn't focus on the ADULTS at the CHILDREN'S PARTY that were jumping around and killed your son. It's not their fault either.

True Love never dies...it just gets divorced!

It seems like only two months ago that Pamela Anderson was aglow with happiness over her quickie Las Vegas wedding to Rick Salomon. Actually, it was. But the 40-year-old ex-"Baywatch" beauty has filed for divorce from her 38-year-old husband after just two months of marriage. Anderson cited irreconcilable differences in papers filed Friday in Los Angeles County Superior Court. Anderson and Salomon wed Oct. 6 during a break between the 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. shows of "Hans Klok's The Beauty of Magic" at Planet Hollywood resort, where Anderson was starring as a magician's assistant. The couple separated less than 10 weeks later, on Dec. 13. Salomon is best known for making a sex videotape with Paris Hilton, his girlfriend at the time, and was previously married to actress Shannen Doherty.

I am shocked. Just shocked. I cannot believe that a marriage done during a work break did not last. What makes it worse is that it was to the man with whom Paris Hilton did her sex tape with that skyrocketed her to "fame." You would think that it was true love and it would have last for...at least three months. Thank GOD that heterosexuals are NOT making a mockery out of marriage like those nasty gays!
