I <3 Hillary Clinton. Seriously and completely. It has nothing to do with politics as she’s rather right of me. However, she’s a class act as shown by this video:
I dread November 5, 2008. I so do not want to wake up (I’m getting up there and plan to get wasted Nov. 4th which means [...]
Rest in peace, Paul Newman, and thank you for the years of entertainment. You lived your life well, and with grace and dignity. You also gave back more than you took and became an example to all.We will miss you.
The NJ state Republican web site was running a banner slogan saying “Obama Loves America like OJ Loved Nicole” - boy, that’s the kind of political discourse that elevates the process. Who, them racist? No “oh my God, it’s a scary black man!” theme there. Subtle as a flying mallet, and about as socially responsible. [...]

Martin Wichmann in jazz mood. Martin says: Hey, this is me with a huge hangover, rehearsing with 2 friends of mine. First and last bit are our version of Coltrane's Mr. PC, second bit is Gambale's great piece called "A Little Something". This was really spontaneous and rough. All done with just a tiny cell phone cam. I hope you enjoy nonetheless. Gear: Ibanez AT300 into Fender...
Gwen Stefani
Gwen Stefani and son Kingston Rossdale playing on the playground in a park the other day in Los Angeles, California. Gwen and Kingston shared a beautiful mother and son kiss as they rested a few minutes along a knee high wall. They also ran around the park playing hide and seek. We [...]
Posted on May 21st, 2008 10:18 amCall him what you want - Justin-Bobby, Justin Brescia, Audrina’s loser boyfriend, or just Douchebag - the man is a beacon of social tact. Last night, the grimy Justin-Bobby Brescia and a smiling Audrina Patridge were spotted out in L.A. at the fifth anniversary party for Dolce. In a gesture befitting of a low-life such as himself, J-Bobby strutted through a m
I do not believe there are any other words to describe Dale Jarrett than to call the gentleman a ‘class act’ and he did for each of us what we wanted to see at the All Star race, he drove the ‘Big Brown Truck.’ It was a very emotional moment as it was [...]
Gordon Brown obviously thinks its funny to bring up the old class war stuff. There are plenty in the Labour Party who can't stand "gents". They have an abiding hatred of public schools and "anything proper". So, because David Cameron went to Eton, they think it fair game to have a go at him. Just like they got rid of hereditary peers, or most of them, from the House of Lords, they try to sneer and jape at someone's background.Is Gordon Brown so great? He was recently telling us his family was "ordinary". Do we care? Not really. I am much more concerned about him saying he made "a mistake" over the 10p tax fiasco, when in fact he knew at the time he was deliberately causing the poor to suffer. It was no mistake Gordon. Personally, I prefer toffs to liars!In the Crewe and Nantwich by-electio
Khia - Lollipop Remix
Can someone send Khia a memo and tell her to “go sit down”. Damn! It’s always one that gotta f*ck it up for the rest of us. Snippets from her myspace rant on Nivea, Deelishis, Lisa Raye, Trina, Kim Kardashian and more…
Why is that whores get all the paise and [...]
Sometimes you just can't resist giving something its own diary.
Let's see, we had the DUI, the screaming incident at the reporter who dared to ask Tony if the St. Louis Cardinals just might, by chance, have a teensy weeensy problem with drugs and alcohol in the clubhous, and the public tempertantrum over Scott Rolen.
Now this:
In 2005, after Canseco's memoir Juiced was published, former Oakland manager
Tony La Russa told "60 Minutes Wednesday" that when Canseco played for Oakland he "would
laugh about the time that other guys were spending [in the gym] and how he didn't have to,
because he was, he was doing the other 'helper.' He was having help in a different way. You
know, the easy way."194 The San Francisco Chronicle reported that La Russa said that when
Canseco got his contract, "he changed. He'd talk about the juice, and others would talk to him
about his health."195 La Russa also reportedly said that in 1990 or 1991, Canseco "stopped
working, he got bigger than ever, and
Eric Lindros plays hockey. Now I don't mean he plays the occasional game on the street in front of his house. Eric played for the NHL and was arguably one of the best hockey players of all time next to Wayne Gretzky.Eric retired from hockey this week after thirteen glorious years and as a parting gift for the sport that has given him international fame and tons of money he thought he would give a little back to the community. You see, Eric is from London, Ontario and we have a city here that is world famous for it's medical facilities. On top of the sports medicine clinic with Dr. Fowler, London is also home to world renown medical centers that specialize in transplant and brain surgery. Over the years Eric has been treated at Fowlers/Kennedy Sports Clinic and he claims the quality of care he received there was what kept him on the ice when he should have been sidelined after the first year or two. This prompted him to give something back to people that helped him so much.Today he an

Any time I think of Fred Astaire, I smile. He was dapper, debonair, and so talented that I actually believed he could suspend himself in air. Fred hated the dress Ginger wore in this famous scene from Top Hat. Once in a while those ostrich feathers would hit him in the face as they twirled around the dance floor. A true professional, he successfully disguised his annoyance.
THERE was much mocking laughter this evening when one of us sitting at my kitchen table revealed she had just bought a plain linen duvet cover for £200. £200? For that money I would have expected the bed, a couple of wardrobes, a brass bedstead and George Clooney thrown in.We decided she'd become very middle-class. You know the middle-class - they're those people with names like Tiggy and Tarquin who live in large houses with stripped pine floors that give them splinters and have Agas in the kitchen they don't know how to use.Tiggy and Tarquin sleep in bedrooms with Victorian cast iron fireplaces that haven't seen a flame since 1852, wearing pyjamas woven by Amazonian Indians from the pubic hair of Peruvian peasant women. They breakfast on wholegrain muesli drizzled with organic macrobiotic natural low-fat yak's piss and plates of guava harvested by an endangered species of colobus monkey.After breakfast they take a power walk to work, counting their carbon footprints as they go
