IT'S RAINING!!
Yeah, it's a gray, wet, gloomy day but I like it. We were treated to a few spring-like days and now here comes the rain. If you're hating it, just remember those days when we were PRAYING for rain. This will make for a much nicer, more fun, more recreational, worry free summer...as far a water goes, anyway.
GLOOMY DAY IN HOLLYWOOD TOO, COREY HAIM, STAR OF "LOST BOYS' FOUND DEAD
If you were or if you raised a child of the 80s, this news is sad. Corey Haim was found in L.A. dead of an apparent overdose...he was 38. If you're female and of that age range, you probably had a poster of Corey in your bedroom. You MAY have had one if you are a MALE...NOT THAT THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT!
The point is, his star rose very rapidly and burned brightly...for a while. Then, as often happens in the "what have you done for me lately" world of stardom, his flame went out. To compensate...DRUGS. It became his new friend...his dangerous friend. And as with all dangerous things one plays with, when not handled carefully and completely under control, it becomes the enemy and the executioner.
Odd, in a way, that events like this come to serve as lessons. Most times, lessons totally unheeded but ones of great value nonetheless when they are. So many aspire to the heights that Corey Haim reached. So many believe that to be the ultimate dream...to be a big star...to be adored by throngs of fans. And maybe it is but then again, maybe it's only a short ride. You must be as ready for the ride UP the roller coaster as your are for the drop down. He was not. Another sad ending to a Hollywood story.
OK...ROLL OUT THE THREE STOOGES...THE FEMALE VERSION...THE SHE STOOGES
First Stooge; Meagan Mariah Barnes. She was driving to Key West at mile marker 21 when she was involved in a two-car accident. The patrolman arriving at the scene said its' the SECOND weirdest thing he's ever covered at that very same mile marker...the other was a driver who had THREE HYPODERMIC NEEDLES STICKING IN HIS ARM.
OK...how can THIS be weirder? Meagan, who had JUST THE DAY BEFORE been convicted of DUI The judge ordered her license suspended for for FIVE YEARS' her car impounded and any car she drive after that be equipped with a breathalyzer ignition.
But that did not deter Meagan...she was on her way to see her boyfriend. Ok, so...what caused the accident? Well it COULD HAVE BEEN that Meagan, was SHAVING HER BIKINI LINE AT THE TIME. Hey she was going to see her BOY FRIEND!! Yes, doing landscaping while driving. OH, it gets better. Meagan's EX BOYFRIEND, OR MAYBE HUSBAND was actually handling the steering wheel from the PASSENGER SEAT. What do you suppose HE was watching?
Now, they are BOTH in a world of trouble...as they should be.
STOOGE NUMBER TWO
Lindsay Lohan...she is suing E*Trade for 100 MEEEEL-YUN DOLLARS! Lindsay, another one of those potential sad Hollywood stories, is claiming that the online trading site USE HER IMAGE AND NAME in one of its TV Commercials. You've probably seen the one...with the kid in the high chair who talks about all his stock trades over the Internet? In this one, the kid is video conferencing with an apparent girlfriend, who is chastising him for not calling the night before. HE claims to have been busy attacking trading deals like A WOLF. She then asks if that "Milk-a-holic, Lindsay" was there...he's stunned by the accusation and then LINDSAY...or so we surmise pops on the screen and says, "MILK-A-WHAT?"
Ok, Lohan seems to believe that that little girl WAS HER! She, apparently, believes that she alone has the SOLE rights to the name LINDSAY and the company use her image without permission.
This is a suit that should never have advanced beyond the idea stage...it should and probably will be summarily thrown out of court as a FRIVOLOUS lawsuit...for which the attorney can be sanctioned.
STOOGE NUMBER THREE
Nancy Pelosi. She is the Speaker of the House of Representatives and is getting increasingly kooky as support for the health care bill dwindles. She did a YouTube video IMPLORING her colleagues and the public to support the bill and RAM it through Congress. In the video she said to critics; "We need to pass this bill so you can see what's in it!" WHAAAA? What kind of backward logic is that? You need to TELL US WHAT'S IN IT (HONESTLY) before we can decided if you should pass it.
Over 2000 pages...I doubt SHE knows everything in it...
AND THEN THERE'S THIS WOMAN...WE'LL CALL HER SHEMP...THE FORTH STOOGE...
JIHAD JANE...a seemingly normal suburban mom who recruited people around the world to KILL AMERICANS!! This piece of human garbage should be dealt with in the harshest means legally available.
She became a Muslim...OK, fine, if that's what you want to do...BUT THEN...she decided to launch her own personal jihad against AMERICA...CHRISTIANS...JEWS... AND WHOMEVER ELSE RADICAL MUSLIMS HATE AND WANT TO KILL.
She set up an internet site and recruited other sick, perverted Americans, Europeans, Asians and others to kill innocent people and people that she and her twisted sisters (and brothers) deemed insulting to Islam and or Mohammed.
I would say all of this is ALLEGED but it seems pretty cut and dried that she's the one behind this. She and several others around the world have been arrested and are facing charges. And when the legal system is done, I hope she is dealt the same judgment that she and her ilk have deemed themselves worthy and lofty enough to administer. She deserves nothing less.
AND SO AS NOT TO BE SEXIST...THERE'S THIS GUY...WE'LL CALL HIM SUPER STOOGE!
ERIC MASSA...talk about KOOKY!?! He's the guy who accused Rahm Emanuel of accosting him in the shower, NAKED, and poking him with his finger...well of the options available under THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES...I'd say THE FINGER was the preferable choice...from MY STANDPOINT, anyway.
In response to the accusations he GROPED a male staffer, Massa said, YES, HE NOT ONLY GROPED HIM, HE TICKLED HIM TILL HE WAS OUT OF BREATH!" Hmmm. WAIT, THERE'S MORE...
Then Massa said four other guys PILED ON TOP OF HIM...IT WAS HIS (MASSA'S) BIRTHDAY AND "THEY WERE PLAYING KILL THE OLD GUY!"
Yeah...I can't tell you how many times we've played THAT one around the office...
OK, I HAVE tickled someone till they were out of breath...BUT NOT AN ADULT. In playing with my nieces or nephews, or my little brother or my OWN KIDS AND GRANDDAUGHTER, I may have done that but after they grew up...somehow that game seemed neither fun nor appropriate.
What kind of guy tickles another guy till he's breathless? A WEIRD GUY, that's what!
Any credibility he has is out the window now!! Nice goin, TICKLE BOY.
THAT'S IT FOR TODAY...
