Pop star Michael Jackson is vehemently denying the latest child molestation charges filed against him, but says he still sees nothing wrong with sharing his bed with children. In his first interview since he was charged, Jackson told CBS news that he would quote "slit his wrists" before he ever hurt a child.

Jackson is charged in California with seven criminal counts of child molestation and faces more than 20 years in jail if convicted.

The 45-year-old singer told CBS that he saw nothing wrong with spending the night with children but denied there was anything sexual about the sleepovers. He said pedophiles, murderers or a "Jack the Ripper" should not be allowed to do that. Jackson said he is not that type of person. rest of story

From USA Today today(some refer to it as McPaper, lol)...

•Paving the way for Bill's book. Historically, memoirs by first ladies outsell memoirs by their husbands. President Clinton (news - web sites)'s as-yet-untitled book is tentatively scheduled to be published in late May. That's about a month after the paperback edition of Living History, with a first printing of 500,000 copies, is released. (She's writing a new foreword that will describe her book tour.) Attorney Bob Barnett, who represents both Clintons, downplays any competition between them, saying, "Each book stands on its own." No word yet on a joint book tour.

Lord help us...a joint book tour, no chance. They could never spend that much time together.

Here's quite a put down of Howie Dean and his recent discovery of religion:

"Christ was someone who sought out people who were disenfranchised, people who were left behind," Howard Dean said. "He fought against self-righteousness of people who had everything . . . He was a person who set an extraordinary example that has lasted 2000 years, which is pretty inspiring when you think about it."

“But worse than a man of no faith is a man who merely pretends to be something he is not. Worst of all, the man who condescends to invoke the name of Christ. Such a foolish man will reap only scorn, and no pity.” - Wesley Pruden, editor in chief of The Washington Times
