The two American Idol finalists, pictured below, performed three songs each tonight. The results will be announced during the 2+ hour season finale Wednesday night.
Meghan McCain = Pro Sex
Meghan McCain, the certifiably blabber-mouthed daughter of failed Presidential candidate John McCain, is suddenly running around to every media outlet that will have her and proclaiming that she is all about pro sex.
This is an outrage. Look, the girl is a little on the hefty side but she’s not that overwhelmingly bad. There’s no way that a girl like that with tons of money in the trust fund should have to pay a professional sex worker. You mean to tell me there’s not one resourceful single guy willing to back up the Brinks truck, put her on the treadmill, and be a little bit patient?
How embarrassing. I just re-read what she said. She’s not participating in professional sex. She is pro sex. Like for it. What an innovator. She really is breaking ground.
Bill Clinton – Still A Handful (Of Fran Drescher)
Bill Clinton, the UN’s new Special Envoy to Haiti, did what he does best this past weekend when he met up with actress Fran Drescher at the Life Ball in Vienna. What he does best: A little grab ass.
Not Dead: Patrick Swayze (56)
Despite a rumor that is rapidly pinging across the Internet, a representative for Patrick Swayze tells People Magazine that the actor / singer is alive and relatively well.
The Dirty Dancing / Ghost star was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in January 2008, and told by doctors that the disease had spread to his liver last month.
Swayze and his wife, actress Lisa Niemi, have been married since 1975.
Good Credit Card Customers To Subsidize The Irresponsible
Congress, at the behest of Barack Obama, is moving to limit the fees and penalties Credit Card companies can charge deadbeat borrowers who miss payments and otherwise use credit irresponsibly. To make up the difference in revenue, Credit Card companies plan to impose annual fees on and eliminate the benefits they have been providing to responsible borrowers.
Obama, who has been nothing but ass backwards when it comes to stewarship of the economy, is once again doing exactly the wrong thing by heaping government mandated rewards on the very type of borrower who caused the credit crisis in the first place.
And, once again, those who know how to manage their lives effectively will be the ones footing the bill. BOHICA those of you who read contracts before signing them and pay your bills on time.
Obama To Raise Car Prices By An Average $1,300
Barack Obama will order car makers to raise fuel efficiency to 35.5 miles per gallon by 2016, a move that will jack up the average cost of an automobile by $1,300 at a time when auto sales are in the toilet and the economy is struggling to survive the other disasterous plans and policies he has slammed through Congress.
The plan will force car companies to produce smaller and lighter cars that Americans have repeatedly shown they do not want, and will make the Americans driving them less safe.
Disclosure of the agreement is expected Tuesday, with executives from several large auto companies, including General Motors Corp. Chief Executive Frederick “Fritz” Henderson, as well as United Auto Workers President Ron Gettelfinger, expected to participate, people familiar with the matter said.
Obama takes over GM. Obama installs new management at GM. Obama takes over Chrysler. Obama hands ownership of Chrysler to his deep-pocketed supporters in the United Auto Workers. GM, Chrysler and the United Auto Workers lap up Obama’s plans to screw the US consumer and kill the automobile industry.
And they say Socialism always fails. What they meant to say was Socialism fails the people. It doesn’t seem to be failing Obama; mostly because he’s got so much swagga and his wife’s arms are so damned toned that no one is really paying attention to what he’s doing.
Housing Data Shows Stimulus Did Nothing
A pair of housing market data points released this morning shows that the wasteful stimulus and housing rescue plans forced through Congress by Barack Obama and Democrats have done nothing to repair our damaged economy and may even be making things worse.
New U.S. housing starts and permits unexpectedly fell to record lows in April…
Pennsylvania Is Third In Elderly Residents
The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that Pennsylvania is once again the number three US state in the percentage of residents who 65 years old or older.
In 2008, 15% of PA residents were 65 or older, and all of them were ahead of me at some point in a no-passing zone as I was trying to get somewhere important.
Florida has been the oldest state practically as long as its early-bird specials have been around.
“I don’t look at the rankings,” said Ray Prushnok, Pennsylvania’s acting deputy secretary of aging. Instead, he’s focused on the number of 85-and-older folks in the system – a number that has grown 30 percent since 2000.
“Pennsylvania got old first,” he said. “We have this large population of 85 and over now. . . . We’re experiencing the aging trends decades before a lot of other states.”
Report: Bill Clinton To Be Named UN Envoy to Haiti
Foreign Policy’s The Cable is reporting that Bill Clinton will be named United Nations Special Envoy to Haiti, with the appointment coming as early as tomorrow.
The office of the U.N. Secretary General wouldn’t comment on the expected announcement. The U.S. mission at the United Nations, and the Clinton Foundation did not immediately respond to queries; nor did the White House.
Clinton traveled with U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to Haiti in March, on his fourth trip to the impoverished island nation of nine million people.
[…]
Obviously, Clinton has good relations with the African-American community; he had a history with Haiti when he was the governor of Arkansas; and it was one of the first issues that bubbled up when he was president, the former official said.
In related news, prostitution and cocaine are still a very large part of Haiti’s economy. As in any other field, it’s all about finding the right man with the right priorities for the job.
Steelers’ James Harrison to Obama: No Thanks
Pittsburgh Steelers Linebacker James Harrison is skipping the team’s trip to the White House to visit Barack Obama as Superbowl champions.
“If you want to see the Pittsburgh Steelers, invite us when we don’t win the Super Bowl,” he told Pittsburgh’s WTAE-TV. “So as far as I’m concerned he would have invited Arizona if they had won.”
[…]
“I don’t feel the need to actually go,” he said of the visit with President Obama. “I don’t feel like it’s that big a deal to me.”
