Holy crapola. How did this story go by fairly unnoticed? Steve Nunn, former GOP lawmaker, was arrested on Friday and charged with violating a protective order keeping him away from ex-girlfriend Amanda Ross after she was found shot to death in downtown Lexington, KY. According to reports Ross, 29, was shot and killed at 6:36 a.m. Friday, September 11th; her death is being investigated as a homicide. Shortly after the shooting, Steve Nunn... 

I have been saying for years that California should legalize marijuana and tax the hell out of it. Just think of all the money the State would make. We could very well get rid of our deficit. Well it finally looks like I’m not the only one who feels this way. Thank you Assemblyman Tom Ammiano! From my local news site: SACRAMENTO, CA — A California lawmaker is pushing a proposal to legalize the sale of marijuana to increase the state’s... 

The Super Bowl is tomorrow and I’m actually kinda excited. I’m hoping to watch the commercials – uh, I mean game – on my boyfriend’s gigantic TV, but I think he’s mad at me so it may not happen. But no matter where I am I’ll tune into Super Bowl XLIII and the various Super Bowl commercials that cost 3 million dollars for 30 seconds. When you see that on paper it seems like Super Bowl ads are a waste of money. But considering... 

So the Super Bowl kickoff time is at 3:20pm tomorrow (or somewhere there abouts) over here in California, but NBC’s coverage begins at 9:00am Pacific time. That’s a whole lot of pre-game coverage. And you know there will be men across the West who can’t get up early for church or chores, but come Super Bowl Sunday they’re up and at ‘em before the sun. Hosted by Bob Costas, NBC’s pre-game coverage will include co-hosts Cris Collinsworth,... 

The Super Bowl is this Sunday and you know what that means. Commercials! By now I’m sure you’ve heard about the banned PETA commercial. Personally, I see nothing wrong with it, but I’m a little weird so whatever. I think it’s cheesy, but I don’t think it’s any more sexually offensive than some of the other crap on TV – like Gossip Girl. So we won’t be seeing a woman masturbate with asparagus this Super Bowl, but we will get... 

Did you get goose bumps this morning as the 44th President of the United States was sworn in? I did. Today is the first day of a better America; out with the old and horrible, in with the new and promising. As much as our country aches for instant improvement we must be patient, as nothing this broken can be fixed overnight. Let us stay positive and full of hope, for through hope comes change. ***** So it has been. So it must be with this... 

Tonight was the town hall style presidential debate between John McCain and Barack Obama. Perhaps you watched it. I tried to, but kept getting annoyed by John McCain’s slight limp and weird bodily ticks that he was desperately trying to hide and his camp refuses to address (stroke, anyone?). Anyway, while I was trying to listen but not watch I found an interesting article from The New York Times. During the vice-presidential debate last... 

I honestly didn’t think I would be writing on this topic, but I just can’t stand it anymore. We all know the details of the New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer scandal so there’s no need for me to repeat them here. Sadly, none of the revelations surprised me in the slightest. What does that say about me? More importantly though, what does that say about our politicians and the state of our government? I’ve noticed some scary similarities...

Remember last Friday when I mentioned Idiocracy? Well folks, the road to that world has already begun (some would argue that it actually began about seven years ago)… President George W. Bush told a group of New York school kids on Wednesday: “Childrens do learn.” … During his first presidential campaign, Bush — who promised to be the “education president” — once asked: “Is our children... 

A plane is about to crash. There are 5 passengers on board, but there are only 4 parachutes. The first passenger says, “I am Ronaldo, the best soccer player in the world. The soccer world needs me, and I cannot die on my fans.” He grabs the first parachute and jumps out of the plane. The second passenger, Hillary Clinton, says, “I am the wife of the former president of the United States; I am the senator of New York and I have a good... 

So let me get this straight…Idaho Senator Larry Craig pleaded guilty to lewd conduct, and now (that it hit the news) he’s denying it ever happened. Oh yeah, and he’s denying that he’s gay; which he probably is. I mean, it’s not like we haven’t seen it before. A skeleton in some government mucky-muck’s closet is revealed and he recoils in fear, denying it all. … “I am not gay. I never have been gay.” Craig, a third-term... 

My birthday is tomorrow. I love my birthday. LOVE it! I have a wonderful and full day planned and I don’t have to go into the office on Monday or Tuesday. What better way to kick off my long birthday weekend than with a game starring another great Hilary? Although I don’t like the way she spells her name, Hillary Clinton is still a Hilary and therefore all right in my book. Hillary: Race for the White House is a totally addicting... 

President Bush, First Lady Laura Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney were flying on Air Force One. George looked at Laura, chuckled and said, “You know I could throw a thousand dollar bill out of the window right now and make somebody very happy.” Laura shrugged her shoulders and replied, “Well I could throw ten one hundred dollar bills out the window and make ten people very happy.” Cheney quickly chimed in with, “That being the... 

George Bush goes to an elementary school to talk to the kids to get a little P.R. time in. After his talk, he offers question time. One little boy puts up his hand and George asks him his name. “Stanley,” responds the little boy. “And what is your question, Stanley?” “I have 4 questions: First, why did the USA invade Iraq without the support of the UN? Second, why are you President when Al Gore got more votes? Third,... 

Yesterday, July 1st, would have been Princess Diana’s 46th Birthday. In honor of the “People’s Princess” and her legacy, her sons princes William and Harry hosted a star-studded event at Wembley Stadium in London. Thanking the live crowd, as well as those watching at home, Prince William said, “This evening is about all that my mother loved in life: her music, her dance, her charities and her family and friends.” Full... 

Happy Monday! Here’s a great way to start the week… I’m sure you’ve noticed the similarities between the President and his mother, but have you ever seen the proof look quite like this? I do believe the original picture from which this was derived, is the following picture of his mother, Barbara Bush. A side note: George W’s mother is commonly referred to as Mrs. Barbara Bush, since his daughter’s name is also... 

Ok, so she may not spell it the same way as I do, but Hillary Clinton is still a pretty cool Hilary. Although it’s really not that hard to be, with a name like Hilary. From the Latin word for “hilarium”, by the by. As in HILARIOUS, in case that one went over your head. Anyway… With Hillary’s bid for the White House, the Clintons are once again in the spotlight, and could very well be for years to come. The couple...

I find it interesting that the clips of the Donald Trump and Rosie O’Donnell brawl seem to be getting more air play than the scuffles between the Democratic candidates for president. What does Hillary have to say that can surpass Isaiah Washington’s comments about Patrick Dempsey and T.R. Knight? If Mayor Giuliani can learn to drop as many F-Bombs as Eminem, then mainstream America will listen. Lindsay and Hillary. Lindsay and...
