It poses a question...

Recently Sen. George Allen (R-VA) is quoted as saying that he was "at a Gay Pride Festival in Philadelphia, and there was a peaceful group reciting verses from the Bible across the street. They were arrested for assault."

Ok, so if he wasn't arrested himself, and surely the dreaded liberal MSM would have reported that, it kinda makes you wonder what Sen. Allen was doing at a gay pride festival.......

A Heroine for Modern America

I was chatting with Joe Corso the other day and reminded him that back in 1984 I had told him and fellow students about this new band from Ireland that I swore was going to change the world, U2. At the time they all laughed at the black leather wearing rock and roll guy in the class (although this class was in Nashville) but here it is 22 years later and Bono is up for the Nobel Peace prize, so it would seem that I was right after all. I mention this only to show that I did not know the guys in U2 personally then and still don't, so you can beleive me when I promise I had nothing to do with this:

"LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Concerned about politicizing her favorite charity, singer-actress Jessica Simpson on Wednesday turned down a invitation to meet with U.S. President George W. Bush, a snub that left Republicans dismayed.

The apparent final word that Simpson would be a no-show at a major Republican fund-raiser with Bush and congressional leaders on Thursday night came after a day of conflicting reports from her camp and organizers of the event.....

"It just feels wrong," one Simpson insider told Reuters on Wednesday, adding that the actress keeps her political views private. "She would love to meet the president and talk about Operation Smile ... but she can't do it at a fund-raiser for the Republican Party."

NRCC spokesman Carl Forti said he was surprised at Simpson's position.

"It's never been a problem for Bono," he said, referring to the U2 rock star who has met regularly with political leaders of all stripes to promote various causes, including Third World debt relief. "I find it hard to believe she would pass up an opportunity to lobby the president on behalf of Operation Smile."

Well golly fuck Carl, maybe our sweet Jessica has more moral integrity than Bono,,, ya think? Maybe she has seen what happens to performers that go the way of the darkside (just look at Ted Nugent! No amount of support from Frankie will ever make him ok again in my book.)

My hats off to you Jessica!

And before some people start gossiping, let me say right now that I have not seen Jessica at all in the last 3 weeks.

(this post is in no way a cheap excuse to post pictures of Jessica, just thought my readers should know that)

The News from Washington

From the Washington Post:

"When Claude Allen, President Bush's longtime domestic-policy adviser, resigned suddenly on Feb. 9, it baffled administration critics and fans. The White House claimed that Allen was leaving to spend more time with his family, while the Washington Times speculated that the 45-year-old aide, a noted social conservative, might have quit to protest a new Pentagon policy about military chaplains. Allen himself never publicly explained the reason for his departure.

"News today may shed light on the mystery of Allen's resignation. According to the Montgomery County Police Department, Allen was arrested yesterday and charged in a felony theft and a felony theft scheme. According to a department press release, Allen conducted approximately 25 fraudulent 'refunds' in Target and Hecht's stores in Maryland."

Let's see, First releasing the names of CIA agents, then fraud, then assault, what's next with these guys? Is Rumsfeild going to start writing bad checks?

Local News Update

Well I guess by now most of my regular readers have heard about the Travis/Sarah breakup and are wondering what if any my role in this latest Bachelor tragedy I had. Folks, let me assure you that what with the Jessica/Nick thing still being fresh in the collective social conscience of America ole’ Bill is laying low. I can assure you that I have not seen Sarah since her return from Paris.

You are probably asking yourself “why bring it up Bill? Why put yourself thru all that turmoil?” Well I think it is best to be proactive in these matters. Sure my handlers are saying “Don’t take a position” and “Just say no comment” but that’s not the way Bill operates. Besides, the John Hancock Champions on Ice are coming to town in May and I want Tanith, Michelle, and Sasha to know Bill is still on the market!
