Aamir Khan is showing his crass side again, passing unnecessary comments against Shah Rukh. This is in such poor taste and shows how desperately Aamir is trying to grab attention to further the publicity of his forthcoming film.

This is about two events, A and B, which took place in a country called India. Actually, both comprised a series of events, but these have been considered as single entities here, for the purpose of comparison. A large number of innocent people were killed in both these violent occurrences. That, however, is where the similarity ends. These were different in ways that include the following :1. Whi

The first time I saw Lavendar Diamond, they were opening for The New Pornagraphers at The Henry Fonda theatre.

For the past five years, Christina Aguilera has made the retro Jean Harlow look of vivid lips and roller-set, platinum-blonde hair her trademark.

Hi guys, it's Roman, your comic book guide to the stars. Today's comic book lesson is Iron Man. I know what you're thinking: "I've seen the trailers, I've heard the buzz, just show me the damn movie!"

Iron Man is a character of Marvel Comics. Like all the super-heroes, he is the alter ego of Anthony Stark, a wealthy and successful businessman.His creators were Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. The first appearance of Iron Man was in 1963, in the number 39 of the comic Tales Of Suspense.The character of Tony Stark was born in New York, and inherited, when he was 21 years old, Stark Industries, after his parents died.No one suspects that Tony Stark is Iron Man, because he pretends to be frivolous and arrogant.The super-hero suit of Iron Man is an armor that gives him a super-human strength. He can handle different weapons with it. It also has the ability of flying. The powers of the armor change in time, as well as his appearance, as the armor evolves in technology level.In the beginning the armor

I won't rob long time readers of a proper reflection, but for the here and now, be it known that the grad school application process is just about wrapped up. To date, I applied to six schools for a MFA in creative writing, received four official rejections, one unofficial rejection, and am waiting on my last, long shot, school.This happens to people, and I'm not unrealistic about my writing ability, especially in prose, but I don't think I can go through this process again. Next December I'll turn 26. I have no marketable skills, no career prospects, and a writing ability that is strong but unfocused from the years I've spent dabbling in so many different mediums (cyberspace, I guess, included).At one point in my life, if there was something I wanted to do, no matter how unlikely it wa

First off, what Pete Stark first said (speaking to his Republican colleagues):“You don't have money to fund the war or children, but you're going to spend it to blow up innocent people if we can get enough kids to grow old enough for you to send to Iraq to get their heads blown off for the president's amusement."Pelosi's response to what Stark said:"While members of Congress are passionate about their views, what Congressman Stark said during the debate was inappropriate and distracted from the seriousness of the subject at hand — providing health care for America's children."Then what Pete Stark recently said:"I want to apologize to my, first of all my colleagues, many of whom I have offended, to the President and his family, to the troops that may have found in my remarks as were suggested in the motion that was just voted on. And I do apologize. And, for this reason: I think that we have a serious issue before us. The issue of providing medical care for children. The issue

I am extremely outraged that Speaker Pelosi has decided to apologize for Pete Stark's remarks yesterday on the House floor.Did Newt Gingrich apologize when Indiana Republican Dan Burton called President Clinton a "scumbag?"Did John Boehner apologize when Georgia Republican Lynn Westmorland questioned Arkansas Demcorat Mike Ross' intelligence on the House floor last July?Who apologizes for Rush Limbaugh attacking soldiers for taking a stand and using the freedom they so bravely fought for? Who apologizes for Ann Coulter calling Jews "imperfect?"Why is it that the Democrats and liberals have to apologize for being harsh, but Republicans and conservatives get a free ride?Stark's comments may have been presented better, but I'm not sorry. I've heard dozens of people, even people who supported Bush in the past, say what he said. Our government needs to stop sugarcoating their beliefs and saying what they really feel. Lord knows the right wing has been doing that.

This is Pete Stark mouthing off on CSPAN about the president and the war in Iraq. What the hell ever happened to even a cursory attempt at decency by the Democrats? Watch the people reacting behind Stark as he runs his mouth. They look to immediately be going into damage control mode. Hat tip to Wake Up America for the vid. ~RJH 

The left never ceases to amaze me. CNN starts a poll asking if Pete Stark should apologize for the outrageous things he said. So what do the moonbats at DU do? They ask people to flood the CNN poll to change the outcome and then after doing so they point to it as proof of being right!  Sound crazy? Sound insane? What sort of tortured logic is that you ask? That is the bread and butter of the online loony left. Check out this thread at Democratic Underground. I have to wonder what sort of circular logic they are using to convince themselves of this bullshit. This person Pete Stark is a real piece of work. He is from my local area in California and you can smell his stench miles away. This is what he said: "You don't have money to fund the war or children. But you're going to spend it to blow up innocent people, if we could get enough kids to grow old enough for you to send to Iraq to get their head's blow off for the president's amusement."I have to ask what Starks DU nam

 I can’t believe I am going to say this, but here goes. Nancy Pelosi has finally said something I agree with. God, I feel dirty now, I think I will take a shower after this post.  Today Nancy Pelosi condemned Rep. Stark for saying the president was amused by soldiers getting their heads blown off. You can see the video here. “While members of Congress are passionate about their views, what Congressman Stark said during the debate was inappropriate and distracted from the seriousness of the subject at hand—providing health care for America’s children,” Pelosi said.  She really agrees with what Rep.Stark said, however the congress’ dismal approval ratings coupled with her lack of leadership and failure to get anything accomplished has her on the defensive. She made a tactical move here to try and boost her approval ratings. If congress had even gotten one bill signed by the president she may have taken the offensive here and defended Stark for his righ

'Stark' Raving Mad Posted by Bobby Eberle October 19, 2007 at 6:07 am In today's society, especially in the political arena, we have seen the steady erosion of civility, manners, and common courtesy. More and more rhetoric is directed as personal attacks, and too often, the comments made by Democrats get completely overlooked in the media. Gen. Petraeus is a "liar." Rush Limbaugh is "on drugs." We have heard it all. But Thursday's comments from Rep. Pete Stark (D-CA) take political "discourse" to a new low. His comments on the floor of the U.S. House in which he said that troops are dying in Iraq for President Bush's amusement are outrageous and have no place in politics. As noted in Calif. Rep Hit on War Comments, "The outburst from Rep. Pete Stark as the House debated a children's health bill drew immediate condemnation from Republicans who demanded he retract it."Stark, an 18-term liberal from California is notorious for his comments, but this one is beyon

In May of 2004, Congressman Pete Stark left a demeaning voice message to Staff Sgt. Dowd, a member of the California Army National Guard, life member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and a member of the American Legion. Dowd faxed a complaint to Stark condemning a recent vote he made on prisoner abuse.

 Check out this video of this congressman as he says Bush derives amusement from having people blown up. He also implies that we will not have enough children grow up to fight the war because of Bush’s veto of SCHIPS.

California Congressman and atheist, Pete Stark, was honored on Thursday with the annual Humanist of the Year award from Harvard's humanist chaplaincy. Although I found it odd that he downplayed the bigotry atheist face from believers, I applaud his candid admission that expressions of religiosity by politicians tends to be about politics rather than superstition.According to The Boston Globe, Stark responded to a question about atheists being demonized by saying, "I have no evidence that they [nonbelievers] are 'demonized.' I think there may be a certain arrogance of certainty among some people . . . but I've never run across those who have been nasty about it." It sounds like he has been fortunate. Maybe Congressmen have it better than the rest of us.Stark expressed optimism that the influence of religion is waning. "I think as we mature . . . you're going to find people taking a less strident or literal position on religion."When asked about 21 other US representatives who ident

Stephanie D. Smith from WWD Reports - Marc Jacobs is clearly proud of his bod — and bares it all again in the latest edition of Visionaire. The 168-page oversize book, sponsored by Louis Vuitton, includes nude photographs of a bevy of models, actors and celebrities, including Jacobs, this edition's guest editor. Visionaire co-founder Stephen Gan said the concept was conceived more than two years ago and most of the photos were taken late last year. "The idea was to do personal nudes of famous people. We came up with a list of who are considered the most beautiful people in the world," he explained. That list includes Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, Mariah Carey, Drew Barrymore, Naomi Campbell, Scarlett Johansson, Christy Turlington, Gisele Bündchen, Jamie Dornan and Selma Blair, all shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. Though most of the images are quite revealing, "not everyone is stark naked," Gan said (Lopez and Anthony appear clothed, most of the models, including Daria Werbo

Once again, there's an amazing difference on display in sales, about how Marvel continues, no matter the low-ranking quality of any of their books now, to maintain [relatively] big sales, World War Hulk being the main example of the moment, whereas DC is falling way behind with a lot of their stuff just now. As Amazons Attack has shown, crossovers, at least at DC, may be starting to backfire (via Newsarama blog).A reasonable explanation for this difference, why Marvel is selling relatively well, even if it's far behind what comic sales were like up to the early 1990s, is because, simply put, they long ago succeeded in garnering a zombie base that DC never managed to maintain, whom some people tend to describe as "Marvel zombies". It may have once been a kindly phrase, but now, I've got a feeling that it could all change to something way different.This is something that's going to have to be taken issue with, about why Marvel - but also DC - zombies are undermining story quality as

ESPN's Jayson Stark delights in uncovering information that is, by is own admission, useless (or more accurately, publishing useless info that others uncover and send to him). Yet, while his columns are rarely worth reading, at least they're usually accurate--possibly because Stark himself is responsible for so little of the research. The same cannot be said of his latest vital contribution to the greater body of baseball knowledge, which has escaped the boundaries of the "Useless Information Department" and infiltrated the confines of "Rumblings and Grumblings."TrivialityTwo of the biggest names on the trading block this month -- Mark Teixeira and Jermaine Dye -- both had seasons of at least 43 homers and 120 RBIs last year.

USA Today has posted a first look at Robert Downey Jr. in the role of Tony Stark in the Jon Favreau-directed Iron Man movie. The 42-year-old Downey, who’s had several stints in drug and alcohol rehab, is getting in shape to play the hard-bodied recovering-alcoholic millionaire. To prep for the role of Stark — an arms manufacturer who dons a jet-powered, missile-launching suit of armor to fight evil as Marvel superhero Iron Man — the actor lifts weights five times a week and practices martial arts.

It's the second week of April and it's snowing. There is something wrong with that. It's supposed to be ending mud season and buds on the trees should begin showing. We're scheduled for 7-10" of snow today, and another bucket load of either snow or rain on Monday. What's wrong with the weather???Yesterday was beautiful. Mud season had passed, the ground finally firm, and we could go outside with a sweater and be comfortable. Today outside is a cold mess.Whenever I see crazy weather it reminds me that the earth is aging and all of this will pass away:"But when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be troubled; for such things must happen, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These are the beginning of sorrows."

One of the brilliant parts of the U.S. Constitution is the prohibition on religious tests for public office. However, it is difficult to imagine voters electing an openly atheist candidate in a country so ravaged by superstition as America. After all, atheists are the most distrusted minority. Given this context, the decision of Rep. Pete Stark (D-Calif.) to come forward as the first member of Congress to officially self-identify as not believing in any sort of god is remarkable.The Secular Coalition for America, the organization behind Rep. Stark's historic announcement, issued a press release explaining why we should take note of this event. Secular Coalition president Herb Silverman says, "The only way to counter the prejudice against nontheists is for more people to publicly identify as nontheists. Rep. Stark shows remarkable courage in being the first member of Congress to do so."I expect that Rep. Stark is going to take some major heat from the Christian extremist community for
