Full Title: 'Mascara from Amsterdam, or if to be precise from the field': Outrage as female 'separatist' posts Instagram selfie wearing 'looted mascara - and boasting about it' Outrage has been expressed in Russia and Ukraine over a young woman who allegedly boasted on her social media site about using looted mascara from the Malaysian air crash site. Identified as Ekaterina Parkhomenko from Torez, close to where the Boeing 777 hit the ground after being shot out of the sky, she posted a picture of a blue mascara bottle, say reports. Her Instagram account then carried two selfies taken with...

Just finished watching "Special Report" and before I could turn the channel, there was prancing Shep, singing the praises of Hussein over the stock market climb.

ST. PAUL, Minn. - The quest for thicker lashes and defined eyes should get safer in Minnesota on Jan. 1, when a state law banning mercury from mascara, eye liners and skin-lightening creams takes effect. Minnesota apparently is the first state in the nation to ban intentionally added mercury in cosmetics, giving it a tougher standard than the federal government. Retailers who knowingly sell mercury-containing cosmetics in Minnesota could face fines of as much as $700. Penalties could reach $10,000 for manufacturers who fail to disclose mercury on product labels, according to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. "Mercury does cause...

Roger Ailes, the chairman of the Fox News Channel, calls Shepard Smith his “go-to guy,” the person he wants leading the channel’s coverage any time news breaks. Mr. Ailes has put his network’s money where he wants its chief voice to be. Last week, Mr. Smith signed a new contract that will take him, a former local news reporter from Holly Springs, Miss., into financial territory usually occupied only by network news anchors. Although Fox did not release the exact terms of the new deal, an executive briefed on the them said that Mr. Smith, who is 43, had signed...

I have had Shep on as background noise while I've worked today around the house. Just in the past hour or so, he has really sounded like a joke. First of all, he needed a simple lesson on economics by Jonathan Hoenig of Capitalistpig.com Then, he rudely interrupted Angela McGlowan who was trying to answer a question about so-called Republican attacks on President Bush.He also shouted down another guest by saying "That is your reality, not objective reality!"--or something like that. Pathetic. I also haven't heard one mention about D-Day this afternoon. Granted, I haven't been listening real close, but...

So maybe I'm a masochist. Today I'm home, cleaning the house, and have Fox News Channel on as background noise (when the vacuum isn't drowning it out!) Shepard Smith has gone on a litany this past hour that sounds like some high school know-it-all kid who wants to impress the teacher. Some of it doesn't make sense...he says a military solution isn't possible (has he heard of World War II? Gulf War? Iraq?)...he says there is 'no way' Al Qaeda and Hezbollah would work together...and he seems to think Israel ought to give up more land for "peace"--he just spent...

Shepard Smith just referred to the current situation in the Middle East as a set of dominoes. He also implied America can't respond because we are "spread out" all over the globe. He is about as frantic as any woman I've ever seen. He used the image of an "ink blotter" being knocked over by Iran...Look, I like FNC, and I watch them because their reporters are pretty good--but the fearmongering by SS is a bit over the top. Maybe I'm just gettin' too old to be fretting about it, and I certainly don't want to make light of the...

This guy is on there now talking down the war effort. Talking down Rummy. Telling his guest (General) "this Administration wants Americans to believe Saddam was responsible for 9/11." This guy is so transparent. He's better off in "The Situation Room" with Blitzer and Cafferty. Touting the six retired Officers calling for Rummy's head. Shep is just trashing the effort. Drama Queen.

"Best Mascara Ever!" You've probably heard it before, but here goes again: the best mascara in the world is Maybelline Great Lash. I don't know what they put in it, or why no one else can seem to come close to matching the quality of this product, but it really, really works. I feel awful posting this, because I just signed a contract to be a spokesperson for Cover Girl's new anti-clumping mascara. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm sure it's GREAT!!! How about you, sucias? Do you have a favorite mascara? As for why it matters to me?...

In true punk rock fashion, Green Day tested the censors at the Grammy Awards on Sunday _ and the censors were ready. The Bay Area rockers, on a career high with their "American Idiot" album, added a shot of rock 'n' roll adrenaline by performing the title cut. The disc won the Grammy for best rock album. The song includes a prominent obscenity in one of the lyrics, but the censors were plainly prepared and neatly excised the word. They couldn't delete, however, singer Billie Joe Armstrong's pointed political reference to not wanting to be part of a redneck agenda....

One of the terrible tragedies of communist Cuba is the dead silence of Cubans who must voicelessly live on that island. Unless we have Cuban relatives, we don't know a thing about those people, who might as well be living in the blacked-out Iraq of Saddam Hussein, or on the far side of the moon, for that matter. The only sound out of Cuba is the megalomanical voice of dictator Fidel Castro, or the parroting of his obedient minions. In the Cuban press and public square, every single issue and article, one way or another, is ultimately all about Castro....

<p>U.S. Rep. Frank Mascara has put a $1,000 price on congressman John Murtha's opinion.</p> <p>With less than three weeks to go until the May 21 primary election, Mascara's campaign office has put out "wanted" posters with Murtha's likeness on them. On the posters, Mascara's campaign called the Johnstown Democrat "Jack P. 'Payraise' Murtha."</p>
