I'd say she's obviously expectant in that photo. I can't recall that at any time during my 5 pregnancies that I allowed my sweater puppies so much exposure in public.

Ahhh... to be rich and famous and... overexposed!

[mountaineer]

She certainly appears "healthy."

Did anyone watch the Democrat National Committee meeting on C-Span this weekend? As soon as I saw Al Charlatan (nice 'do, by the way), I had to change channels, but the WashPost reported:

Most of the speeches followed a general pattern: I'm the son/daughter of . . . (Insert Joe Lunchbox occupation: a postal worker/mill worker/milk man/etc.); I'm a regular Joe/Jane who represents the interests of The People; I've come very far in life from my youth as one of The People; President Bush is not one of The People and should be replaced by someone who is. And so on. ....

One of the things the first tier [Edwards, Lieberman, Gephardt, Kerry] has in common - other than proven abilities to raise cash, national profiles, and first-rate campaign staffs - is that they all supported the resolution last year authorizing President Bush to use military force against Iraq. ...The other four candidates [Dean, Sharpton, Moseley-Braun and Kucinich] who spoke made their opposition to Bush's policy on Iraq a major issue - and at least one of them will likely enter the first tier of candidates because of it, given the hardening opposition to a military strike among the party rank and file. full story

Good news.

February 24, 2003, 2:59 PM EST BOSTON -- A federal judge on Monday threw out a lawsuit challenging President Bush's authority to launch war against Iraq, declaring the matter a political question that shouldn't be played out in a courtroom.

The lawsuit, filed earlier this month by six Democratic congressmen and three unidentified service members and their parents, maintained that only Congress can constitutionally declare war. A resolution Congress approved in October supporting military action in Iraq did not specifically declare war, they maintained, and improperly ceded the decision to President Bush. full story, AP

Sweater puppies. That's a new one for my vocabulary! Truly funny - thanks!

She sure does look puffy, wonder how far along she is. Her face and her wrists look swollen.

[habs4ever]

Mikey looks very ghoulish.I swear his mouth has more colour than his face or hair.

[habs4ever]

She wanted to make sure Mike could cop a feel just in case ;-)

[habs4ever]

You remove Sontag's hair, and I swear that it's Raymond Massey instead.Give her a beard, and she could play Abe Lincoln ;-)

The problem with starting threads hours before the event is that they attract all the morons who just post " I would never watch such junk" and mindless chatter. It then sets the tone for the whole thread to be chit chat instead of focusing on the show.

I am not saying that that is bad, but the way we always ran our live threads have been pretty much focused on the event. We also have the benefit of Hole_N-One's live photo grabs.

I thought that a half hour ahead was a polite and proper posting time for a live thread.

BTW, Lodwick, thank you for the compliment. I always try to have an informational flash.

[Aggie Mama]

I think she is due in about 4 weeks. I wish she wouldn't pull her hair back like that. One should not pull one's hair back when one has a puffy face.

[Aggie Mama]

I was really disappointed that they pulled the Guild thread. Can't we have our own thread? Just put it in the cheesehole but leave it alone?

[Fintan]

You remove Sontag's hair, and I swear that it's Raymond Massey ...




 

 

Good Lord...you're right.

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

If we put it in the cheesehole no one finds it. I get emails in the weeks leading up to an event asking for a live thread. We need to keep it in News to get any feedback and so everyone can see it. I am going to write to the Admin Moderator and let them know that we would like to host the Oscars. This would be our 3rd time hosting, but I think the 4th time I have done an Oscar thread. We are the originators of the Live Thread.

Dan Blather's got a big scoop tonight:

In an exclusive interview with CBS News Anchor Dan Rather, Saddam Hussein denied Iraq's al-Samoud missiles violated U.N. mandates, and indicated that he will resist U.N. demands to destroy them.

We'll see. I bet he agrees to destroy the missiles less than an hour before the next UN vote.

And then there's the Dem's latest president-wannabe...Dennis Kucinich. These two recent statements perfectly depict the moral obtuseness which is the Dems.

"The time has come for us to end the sanctions against Iraq, because those sanctions punish the people of Iraq for having Saddam Hussein as their leader. These sanctions have been instrumental in causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands of children."--Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D., Ohio), The Progressive, November 2002

"Saddam Hussein should be removed from power. . . . I think the way that you do it is continue to use sanctions which thwart his efforts to grow."--presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich, "Meet the Press," Feb. 23, 2003

Did he not know he would run for prez only 3 months ago??? As James Taranto (Best of the Web Today) puts it:

Such backpedaling from long-held views is, of course, nothing unusual for a presidential candidate, but in this case it's particularly pathetic. Even with his new, more palatable positions, Kucinich is about as likely to be elected president as Janet Reno is to become the next Miss Venezuela.

LOL!

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

UN: Your missiles violate international law

Saddam: No they don't

UN: You must destroy them

Saddam: No I don't

UN: You are a doodie-head

Saddam: No I'm not

Are you a fan of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"?

The TV show comes on tonight. Though I think it's bound to be a letdown, I'll check out this premier. 9:30 EST.

Joke sent to me by my FRiend Shovelhead.

Bubba from Arkansas is driving down RT-75 when he's pulled over by a State-Trooper.
The Trooper says to Bubba: "Do you have any I.D?"
Bubba says: 'bout what?"

I wasn't sure if them Northerners would get it. ;-) (just kidding people, you know I love you!)

My oh my, you have got the dims number my dear. Those sneaky bastards! It's time to start asking them the hard questions... Please send your idea to Rush, that's some good red meat to sink his teeth into.

Carole doesn't remember what her major was?! If I were a reporter I'd start checking to see if she really did graduate from college. Some how I can picture Carole fudging her resumé.

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

They don't get much bigger than this!!!

[BigWaveBetty]

Great. Now I'm going to have nightmares of the StayPuft Chocolate Marshmallow Goddess!
