On today's edition of Weekends With Maury and Connie on MSNBC, they were discussing with Joe Scarborough how Bill Clinton was able to avoid prosecution for improprieties in the Oval Office. I tuned in late, so I'm not sure if this was a side issue. Chung asked Scarborough, "How DID Bill Clinton pull it out?" I thought Monica probably did that for him.

Who doesn't love Peanuts ? "You blockhead!" "Good grief." "Stupid beagle." I remember Sherman, Violet and Patty. (Not Peppermint Patty). I don't include Pig Pen because he appeared a lot more recently than the other three. I remember when they were drawn differently. They looked younger. Snoopy's imitation of a vulture. Of course the World War I flying ace vs. the Red Baron. Woodstock. Snoopy stealing Linus' blanket and Linus going cold turkey. Lucy pulling the ...

Here are three examples: This is what really gets me about the first one. Millsap also stated that not all the dogs died instantly, one of the dogs ran a short distance after being shot and another dog's head was stomped on, by Millsap, when it didn't die. Link The second one is the worst. Link In the third one, which happened not far from where I live, the cops pulled over a car in a case of mistaken identity. The dog was wagging its tail.

The airman was a passenger in a car that was chased by the police officer. Maybe the chase should have been called off.

Sometimes you have to look behind the scenes to find the true facts. Sometimes it takes a scan of the credits to get past the bright, stra-time glare of the marquee lights shinning on the performers in order to discover the unsung heroes who played equally pivotal roles in creating the music. Sometimes even that does not help, particularly in the world of early blues when floating pools of session players often anonymously gave each label's artists an identifiying sonic stamp and the accurac...

The great soul singer died of a heart attack at age 64. Hits such as In the Midnight Hour & Land of 1,000 Dances. With so many great musicians and singers dying, who's going to prevent crap like rap from taking over?

Dec. 9, 1934 - Jan. 15, 1998 If the harmonica is to blues what the saxaphone is to jazz, then Junior Wells is a post-bebop legend and one of the better players of the blues. He was along with James Cotton the last of a generation that grew out of Chicago in the late 40s and early 50s, when the blues scene featured such notables as John Lee Williamson and Rice Miller, Little Walter and Walter Horton. Junior was 19 years old when he replaced Little Walter in Muddy Waters' band in 1952. Wells ...

A lot of people say things about cats such as, "They can't help sick, handicapped people the way dogs can." Well, maybe this goes beyond even what dogs can do. COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Apparently, the cat was paying attention when his owner tried to show him how to dial 911. A Columbus, Ohio, man was unable to call for help when he fell out of his wheelchair Thursday, but he says his cat did it for him. Officers said the cat, named Tommy, was lying by a telephone on the living room floor...

lw made this bullshit accusation of me. "he's one of those rabidly anti-Semitic whack-jobs that thinks our own government brought down the WTC on 9/11." Just where the hell does she get that idea? If I was anti-semitic, why would I think Americans did it? "it hardly justifies his over-the-top vulgar response, and it hardly warrants him bringing it here in an attempt to escalate the shit." What does she think she's doing?""

Bush's War Mentality TERRY JONES (of Monty Python fame) / The Observer (UK) 26jan03 I'm really excited by George Bush's latest reason for bombing Iraq: he's running out of patience. And so am I! For some time now I've been really pissed off with Mr Johnson, who lives a couple of doors down the street. Well, him and Mr Patel, who runs the health food shop. They both give me queer looks, and I'm sure Mr Johnson is planning something nasty for me, but so far I haven't been able to discover w...
