And for more unintentional funnies, this quote from an article about W's miserable approval ratings.

"[Former Florida GOP chairman now Tallahassee lobbyist Van] Poole shrugged off the CIA-leak investigation. 'Most people I've talked to think it was a big waste of money, taking as much time as it did.'"

I heard that the amateur film shot by Mohammed za-Bruthuh shows a second gunman on a grassy knoll along the Strip. The za-Bruthuh film apparently has been suppressed by the Man, so no one knows fo' shizzle.

FWIW his approval ratings are almost as low as Reagan's were mid-second term. Who was voted best President in the 50 years again?

Shhhh, don't distract her. The more time demo's devote to proving that biggie andd tupac were under FBI, CIA, NSA, BATF, &c, &c surveillance, the less time they have to separate us from our wallets.

Law Professor Donald Wilkes has written a bunch of articles asserting the JFK assasination was some kind of conspiracy. Link to Wilkies articles.

He should look into the Mary Jo Kopechne, Vince Foster, Mary Mahoney and Ron Brown killings next.

Readers of the Houston Voice got a little news on the opinion pages this week: Hard-nosed Fox News Channel anchor Shepard Smith is -- well, if he's not gay, he's pretty damn gay-friendly.

Kevin Naff, managing editor of the Washington Blade, a sister paper of the Voice, wrote a column on celebrities who refuse to answer questions about whether they're gay. As part of the column he wrote that Smith once tried to pick him up at a Manhattan piano bar and invited him back to his place.

"We sat at the bar chatting and drinking martinis until 3 a.m., our conversation interrupted only when [Smith] paused to belt out the lyrics to whatever showtune was being performed," Naff wrote.

Come on -- straight guys like showtunes, too, don't they? Don't they?

We tried to reach Smith, but a Fox spokesperson didn't return messages. Naff says he's been getting a lot of mail, both pro and con, about the column.

"And a lot of people have said, 'Oh, you're violating their privacy, and who they have sex with, that's private,' " Naff says. "Well, yeah, who you have sex with is private…All I'm saying is, the very fact of your sexual orientation should not be a secret. It should not be something to be ashamed of and hidden."

Well, maybe. But what about the important stuff: Why did you (allegedly) turn down Smith?

"I am not single, so I was not able to take him up on his offer," Naff says.

So he wasn't a jerk?

"No, he was a nice guy and we had a nice chat," he says.

Damn. We thought all Fox anchors were jerks.

If this is true, its sad that he feels constrained to be open about his sexual orientation, much in the same way that it is sad that Hillary has to hide her sexual orientation behind a sham marriage to a serial sexual predator. She loses and the Nation loses. Personally I think Hillary and Mary Steenburgen make a cute couple.

1. Fox News has involved itself into the political process. Anything having to do with Fox News is per se a topic for the PB.
2. Fuck you.

In the category of even a broken clock is right twice a day, ex-prez and demo luminary Jimmy the Peanut Carter has come out squarely against abortion, for the babyjesus and against Clinton.


Amen.

Former President Jimmy Carter yesterday condemned all abortions and chastised his party for its intolerance of candidates and nominees who oppose abortion.

"I never have felt that any abortion should be committed -- I think each abortion is the result of a series of errors," he told reporters over breakfast at the Ritz-CarltonHotel, while across town Senate Democrats deliberated whether to filibuster the nomination of Judge Samuel A. Alito Jr. because he may share President Bush and Mr. Carter's abhorrence of abortion.

"These things impact other issues on which [Mr. Bush] and I basically agree," the Georgia Democrat said. "I've never been convinced, if you let me inject my Christianity into it, that Jesus Christ would approve abortion."

"I have always thought it was not in the mainstream of the American public to be extremely liberal on many issues," Mr. Carter said.

The worst treatment he's received, the former president said, was from President Clinton.

eta: i hope that if the Ritz-C gave him a room that the the toilet was cleared before he checked in.

Does he blame Bush for letting France be taken over?

He praised Mr. Bush's policy toward war-torn Sudan, which I think is a tacit indictment of the French.
