Yes, I, too, am worried about Tony. Prayer for him and his speedy recovery.

I’ve been listening to Cook’s studio versions of some of the songs he sang - they are FABULOUS. Have you heard them?

Check this out from The Best Week Ever Blog (after you read it, tell me I wouldn't be an awesome addition to their staff?)....

I'm not entirely convinced you didn't write this :)

"David, much like Sharon Stone, is super tight with the Dalai Lama, or “D-Lamz”. Seriously, they golf together."

LOL!! That sounds like vintage RK to me :)

And a huge ROFLMAO! for this photoshop:

For all we know, that could be you under that burkha :)

[silent_jonny]

LMAO! I wish I could copyright Sam The Eagle :)

I still say he looks more like Matt ;)

I had to read that twice--I thought it was a joke, but apparently it's true:

Clay Aiken has a 50-year old baby-mama!

ROFLMAO!

Artificially inseminated. No surprise there. Gays who want kids are doing that a lot these days, typically using surrogate mothers. Lesbians are doing in vetro fertilizations using anonymous sperm donors.

Many gays and lesbians want their own biological children instead of adopting. They just don't want to do it the "old fashioned" natural way.

David Cook has the best single debut of any American Idol since the 2nd season. If his new album is as well-received as the studio versions of the songs he sang on AI, it will be a smash hit. He already has more songs on the Billboard Hot 100 than anyone else since the Beatles in the mid-1960's. He's the first true pop/rock male AI winner, so maybe that's why he's taking off like a rocket.

David Cook's Debut Album Set For Fall Release

"American Idol" winner DAVID COOK will start recording his debut album over the summer with an eye for a fall release, reports Daily Variety.

The 25-year-old champ will cut the album while on the road with the "American Idols Live! Tour 2008," which kicks off July 1 in Glendale, AZ...and hits such locales as Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Detroit, Baltimore and Philadelphia before ending Sept. 13 in Tulsa, OK.

Cook signed with 19 Recordings/RCA Records and is currently burning up the digital songs chart with 17 tracks in the top 100, a record for a solo artist. His first single, "The Time Of My Life," sold 236,000 digital tracks on iTunes in four days, sending it to No. 1 -- the best single debut of any "American Idol" since the second season.

Did you see the other day that Tony Snow has been advised by his doctors not to travel?

Thanks for posting that. I wouldn't have caught that news otherwise. That's so sad. Tony is one of the really good guys in what is otherwise a sewer called modern politics. We need many more like him.

I just hope he can survive long enough to see his kids grow up, but the fact that the cancer returned after just two years is not encouraging.

No, I haven’t but I will check them out.

She does sorta look like me. My real job is so freakin’ boring that if I had a seriously awesome job like writing for the BWE blog, you would know.

Everyone on the thread would know. People I haven’t seen since grade school would know.

The entire city of Chicago would know, because of the banner I would fly over the city.

“Retrokitten has the MOST AWESOME JOB EVER!!!”

[retrokitten]

Definitely more like Matt. They have the same hairline.

[retrokitten]

Clay Aiken has a 50-year old baby-mama!

That's so not right. On so many levels.

Tony is one of the really good guys in what is otherwise a sewer called modern politics. We need many more like him.

ITA. I am trying to stay hopeful, but when the doctor tells you not to travel, that's not a good sign.

Yep. The Michael Jackson method :) No icky sex for Clay.

[silent_jonny]

Amen.

On a side note, I think a lot of Scott McClellan's bitterness is rooted in the fact that he was replaced by Tony Snow. As soon as he became press secretary, everyone forgot about poor Scotty :)

[silent_jonny]

And David Foster will be Clay’s ... uh ... not brother-in-law. Baby-mama’s-brother-in-law? :)

[silent_jonny]

LOL! That entire post was BWE worthy :)

Many gays and lesbians want their own biological children instead of adopting. They just don't want to do it the "old fashioned" natural way.

Well, if it's good enough for their kid to come out of.......

[retrokitten]

I guess I’d have to put my real name on the banner otherwise no one would know who the heck it was about.

“SCARLETT JOHANSSON WORKS FOR THE BEST WEEK EVER BLOG!!!”

Uh oh. My secret identity has been revealed! ;-)
