So very glad Thursday night is over!

Good Morning!

Thanks for finding this pic, it fits so well with our night o' freaks theme.

I'm reading the Michael Jackson thread now. We watched some of the interview, but Mr. M finally said he couldn't take any more, so we watched CSI instead (Marg Helgenberger may have been a factor in his decision, but I couldn't disagree - Michael was just too, too disturbingly grotesque). If anyone missed it, check out the link at post #54 on the MJ thread. It's the affidavit of the boy MJ molested in 1993. Very graphic and disgusting.

Ugh, as if Courtney's ugliness wasn't enough, she has man hands too!

I really hate to tear myself away from you all, I know there will be mucho fun happenin' here but I must go to the store and get some food to cook up for my FIL. But nothing, absolutely nothing will keep me away for long. Back very soon! :-)

[mountaineer]

What a lovely couple.

[BigWaveBetty]

Thanks I'll check it out when I return.

One of the most disturbing things about MJ last night was how he had the NAMBLA mantra down pat. The scariest part was he said these things like it was the way life should be. *shiver!*

Page Six reports Jackson's being sued for a few more million by an investment banker, adding:

The superstar's business methods were unusual. "At one point there was a witch doctor involved," McGonigle said. "Michael brought in this voodoo guy to provide financial advice. There was a falling out and the witch doctor put a hex on Michael until he got paid." Jackson might be reluctant to pay Kelly because - despite his claims in the documentary last night on ABC that he is a billionaire - others say he is heavily in debt.

McCain gets in a few zingers at the Washington Press Club dinner:

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) lamented that he's a victim of identity theft by the "gang of six" Dem wannabes trying to pass themselves off as him. McCain cited "Joey 'Lightfingers' Lieberman." Then he went after Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), who was revealed to have Jewish grandparents. Quoth McCain: "John, have you no shame? I know this is a key Democratic constituency, but what chutzpah . . . Oh, and did I mention that the name McCain was originally Moscowitz?" McCain said that movie stars' comments about Iraq made him think that "Hollywood is a Washington for the simple-minded."

Blubba did his Rolling Stones gig last night:

"Even though the Stones once said, 'It's only rock 'n' roll', tonight it's way more than rock 'n' roll," the former president said, in reference to one of the Stones' biggest hit, It's Only Rock 'n' Roll. [Yes, I think we figured out the reference]

Mr Clinton talked about the importance of raising awareness of global warming.

He added: "The new energy future is decentralised, entrepreneurial and needs people like you to say, 'Give me a clean car, give me solar shingles to put on my roof, give me a clean future'." full story

With all those "give me" references, I'm surprised he didn't segue into "Gimme Shelter," though I'm betting his personal favorite is "Brown Sugar."

MUNICH, Germany, Feb 7 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld faces a hostile reception on Friday from German politicians and peace activists over his remark that the country's anti-war stance put it on a par with Libya and Cuba.

Rumsfeld was due to address an annual security conference in the southern German city of Munich on Saturday and was expected to argue that allowing more time for weapons inspections in Iraq makes sense only if Iraq cooperates with the United Nations.

Mass protests are planned in Munich on Friday and at the weekend against the security conference, Rumsfeld's visit and the threat of war in the Gulf, with police warning of possible violence. Some 3,500 officers are on duty to try keep the peace.

Rumsfeld's comments on Wednesday putting Germany in the same category as Libya and Cuba as states that would not be helpful in any international effort to overthrow Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein have infuriated many, putting new pressure on already strained transatlantic ties.

I missed the latest installment of 'Larry King's Still Alive' last night, was it as hideous as promised?

[Timeout]

Give me a clean car, give me solar shingles to put on my roof, give me a clean future...

Gimme a clean refrigerator! (self-cleaning, please)

[Iowa Granny]

When you find a self cleaning refrigerator, please let me know the brand. I want one, too.

Kentucky Derby favorite out of Triple Crown races




Vindication, the unbeaten 2-year-old champion and the son of Seattle Slew, strained a ligament in his left front leg and will miss the Kentucky Derby and the other Triple Crown races.
Trained by Bob Baffert, Vindication was the early favorite for the May 3 Derby after winning all four of his starts.

The colt will also miss the Preakness on May 17 and the Belmont Stakes three weeks later. The hope is for Vindication to be back for the Travers Stakes at Saratoga in August.

Update on that poor Iraqi man who tried to defect to UNSCOM:

Times of London reporting that his relations in America (Iraq dissidents) have appealed to President Bush and Amnesty International to investigate the incident.

Quote:

Hans Blix, the chief UN inspector, appeared flummoxed when questioned about the case this week but said that he would consider raising it in his talks tomorrow in Baghdad.

He said the inspectors did not know the identity of the man pulled from the vehicle and were awaiting a report on the incident from the Iraqi authorities. The UN has not taken any other steps to ascertain whether the man might have been an Iraqi scientist or otherwise in possession of information he wanted to share with inspectors about Iraq’s secret weapons programmes.

“I’ve just talked to our security chief in Baghdad . . . and he said there was nothing in the booklet he seemed to be carrying,” Dr Blix said. He added that Iraqi scientists could find “more elegant ways” of approaching UN inspectors.

"More elegant ways"....WHY do we even listen to these black hearted idiots.

I was listening to Glenn Beck just now and he said that they've raised the terror alert to High. I haven't seen this anyplace else yet. Apparently there is an extreme amount of "chatter".

Anyone else know anything?

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

I would like a self cleaning refridgerator also. I have a funk in there that I can't find. I have thrown out everything possible, and there is still a funk.

Ugh, as if Courtney's ugliness wasn't enough, she has man hands too!

Yikes! As my dear departed Daddy used to say, "She looks like she's been rode hard and put up wet!"

[Carolina]

Chelz and Courtney...Wacko Jacko...Slick...Words escape me.

"The new energy future is decentralised, entrepreneurial and needs people like you to say, 'Give me a clean car, give me solar shingles to put on my roof, give me a clean future'."

How about they get it their own damn selves!
