W proudly shows paw that has actually walked
Rosie's Coo-Coo Coup: We don't know what Rosie O'Donnell paid her
handlers
but her "I'm a lesbian and I do it for the children" PR stunt was a
classic.
She tied ABC up in knots, had Diane Sawyer short of weeping and put herself
in line for all sorts of jumped up humanitarian awards. The dirty little
secret here is that it probably won't work and those who supported her
behind
the scenes are getting extremely squirrely about all of it.
Cal Thomas has
it just about right
.
Axe Him About Evil: In a speech yesterday W trotted out "Axis of
evil"
again, driving his critics bonkers.
He knows what he's doing
. If you let people calm down, then repeat your
point again, very slowly, they have a tendency to get it. It may take a
while
longer but he'll get there.
Oprah Disconnect: Think about this while you look for bus money.
Oprah told
Fortune magazine that she is clueless when it comes to business. This from a
woman who has amassed a one billion dollar fortune before she's fifty.
Somehow this doesn't fly
. Maybe Stedman did it for her? Somebody did, that's for sure.
One Out of Fifty: CNN has managed to find some guy, who says he is
one of
Osama's fifty siblings, to tell us the terrorist's kidneys are just fine,
thank you very much. Not only that, his brother loves God and his mommy and
he had nothing to do with the WTC bombing. Thanks CNN for that
informative interview
.And, Fox gets jerked around for putting on Celebrity Boxing?
Still Whining After All These Years: A New York female firefighter
says
she's getting no respect and is tired of hearing the world "firemen."
Someone should tell her that's why they say the uni-sexual "firefighters."
She's been one since 1983.
Wouldn't you think she'd be over it by now? Either way, if our house is on
fire
what we want to see climbing a ladder toward us and the flames is a
fireMAN.
LDotter Note: One of the bigger stories of late is the turmoil in
the
Catholic Church. Some people registered on this site have gotten out of line
with their comments on the subject. Fair warning: If you address another
poster in an unseemly manner, if you bash another person's religion -
Catholic or not - If you
are rude and/or obstreperous in any way - and we make the call - you will be
banned from this site and have all your postings removed. Feel free to
scream
"censorship" all you like. We don't censor, we edit and censorship is not a
dirty word when it comes to rotten language and attitudes. There is more
than
enough pain to go around. Let's not have more of it here.
