I feel sorry for her...

Breaking News:

Lindsay Lohan taken to jail after being sentenced to 120 days for violating probabtion in her arrest in that necklace theft case. (Via CNN)

Poor Lindsay, for a while it appeared that, thanks to the greed of the store owners who sold the tape, we might see her beat this one.  In the tape, we see Lindsay walking out of the store with the necklace on. A store clerk escorts her out and even opens the door for her. That doesn't look like stealing to me

The bitch does take a good mug shot, though!

Lst year, Lindsay Lohan was sent to jail. She went directly to jail, she did not pass go and she did not collect $200. Since she did failed a random drug and alcohol test, the judge told her she had to spend the next 30 days in the clink while awaiting a hearing, when he could have set bail.

If you were on the fence as to whether she had a real problem or was just a fuck up, this was your answer. If someone told me, dont take a drink or a smoke or I am sending your ass back to jail, that would be all I needed to hear. Since she couldn't do that, she is obviously an addict.

I still feel sorry for her though, because I still see the little girl from Freaky Friday...

The real problem keeping Lindsay from making a recovery are her parents, both of whom are completely fucked up.

As they might say over at DListed.com, this made my no-no hole say yes-yes!!

Lastly I also suspect I feel a little vulnerable because this is ground I have never certainly never covered before - so if you have pearls of wisdom on how we figure all this out please let me know... In the meantime please sleep soundly knowing that despite the best efforts of my head my heart cries out for you, your voice, your body, the touch of your lips, the touch of your finger tips and an even deeper connection to your soul.

These are the words of the formerly AWOL Governor Stanford of South Carolina to his mistress, an Argentinian woman called "Maria." He claims he spent the last five days "crying in Argentina" with "my dear, dear friend." Time for the side-eye...

If by "crying" he meant "fucking" and if by "dear, dear friend" he meant "my good, good pussy," then yes, I would agree.

This is the same guy who as Congressman Stanford voted for President Clinton's impeachment, citing the need for "moral legitimacy." Loosk like it's not as easy to pass judgement when it's YOUR dick getting sucked.

Hypocritcal much?

Racist, Insensitive or Both?

Looks like we will be playing this game for at least the next 4 years. The NY Post published this pictures recently and people are up in arms, including the Reverend Al Sharpton, who called the cartoon "troubling at best given the historic racist attacks of African-Americans as being synonymous with monkeys."

I have to admit, I am sometimes blind to racism, inasmuch as i don't look for it around every corner and behind every action. Until Rev. Al mentioned it, I just saw this cartoon as a play on the old saying about if you get enough monkeys in a room with tipewriters, one of them will write Shakespeare. I saw the cartoon as a comment on the monkeys in Congress, not as a reference to Obama.

I have said it before and I will say it again,we are going to have to start letting shit go, black people. We cannot continue to see the world only through the prism of our own real and imagined pain. I don't want to live in a world where everyone is on such eggshells about offending someone that public discourse dies.

Rev. Al, foul ball (ooo, look at me with the sports reference. How butch!)

That said, I am more offended by the use of the monkey as a joke. It is not AT ALL funny what happened to that woman when that chimp jumped on her. That animal belonged in a zoo and his owner should be facing some serious charges. She keeps referring to the chimp as her son and herself as its Mom. I always find people who anthropo-morphize their pets to be a little wierd and this takes the cake.

NY Post, that's a strike for extremely poor taste.

Headlines

They must not have seen James Frey on Oprah. Laurie Friedman's "Angel Girl," based on Herman Rosenblat's tale of meeting his future wife at a concentration camp, had been released in the fall by the Lerner Publishing Group. Rosenblat, 79, whose many admirers had included Oprah Winfrey, acknowledged last weekend that he didn't meet his wife during the war. Get ready to get ripped a new one!

Awwww, I guess we are supposed to feel sorry for him! There's been a recent spate of articles about the outgoing President and how history will judge him. Let's see: caught flat-footed on 9/11, lied about WMDs, Abu Ghrab, Guantanamo, Hurricane Katrina and recession. I wouldn't look for any schools to be renamed in your honor anytime soon.

Just keep that shit over there! Israel is considering suspending its Gaza offensive to give Hamas militants an opening to halt their rocket fire, but the threat of a ground offensive remains if the truce does not hold, an Israeli defense official said Tuesday. Other than Oprah, the only other people that you don't fuck with in this world are the Israelis, although I still question why we should always have such unflinching support for them. That, however, is a topic for another post.
