Congresswoman Mary Bono, a liberal pro-gay Republican from the Palm Springs area VOTED YES for today's massive Democratic/Obama Cap & Trade Tax Increase. Congresswoman Mary Bono married the former Sonny & Cher entertainer, then she took her husband Sonny's place in congress when he was killed in a skiing accident. Her yes vote today adds billions of dollars in increased taxes, energy and fuel costs onto the backs of the working moms and dads who wealthy Mary Bono is completely disconnected from. Congresswoman Bono has earned a notorious reputation for being a political patsy for the rabid homosexual group Log...

Cher has sued Universal Music Group, claiming that the label's creative accounting has shortchanged her and the heirs of her late ex-husband, Sonny Bono, to the tune of $5 million. The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, claims an audit of UMG's accounting to the singer-actress from 2000 to 2003 showed that UMG executives "engaged in wrongful tactics" designed to hide revenue from two hit compilation albums. The five-count, 22-page complaint claims breach of two recording contracts Cher had with UMG predecessors, one with MCA division Kapp Records in 1972 and a 1987 deal with the David Geffen...

LISTEN ONLINE TO COAST TO COAST ON KFI, LOS ANGELES Guest coming up -- was Sonny Bono assassinated?

<p>SONNY Bono, former husband and singing partner of superstar Cher, was clubbed to death by hitmen on the orders of drug and weapons dealers, an ex-FBI agent claims.</p> <p>Ted Gunderson, now a private investigator, has told the US Globe tabloid that Bono, who served as mayor of Palm Springs for four years, did not die after hitting a tree on a Nevada ski slope in January 1998 as everyone believed.</p>

There are many questions that this theory brings about. Not the least of which is who are the officials that were named in the report? Is there a continuing investigation on this drugs and weapons/ government officials link? If not, why not? This theory makes a wonder how many Congressmen/women are finding themselves in similar situations. Whether it be from an outside source or an inside source. Whether it be death threats or threats of assassination of character.

SONNY Bono, former husband and singing partner of superstar Cher, was clubbed to death by hitmen on the orders of drug and weapons dealers who feared he was going to expose them, a former FBI agent claims. Ted Gunderson, now a private investigator, has told the US Globe tabloid that Bono, who served as mayor of Palm Springs for four years, did not die after hitting a tree on a Nevada ski slope in January 1998 as everyone believed. "It's nonsense for anyone to now try to suggest that Bono died after crashing into a tree. There's zero evidence in...

Republican Rep. Mary Bono declared victory tonight in her bid for another two years in office but said she's "disheartened" by the Republicans losing control of the House. With 73 percent of the votes counted, Bono led Democratic challenger David Roth by a 58-41 percent margin. Acknowledging that Democrats will be the new majority party in the House, Bono pledged to bipartisan cooperation. "I'm willing to reach across party lines," she said. "It's a new day in America. I am disheartened, but I know that when one door closes, another opens."

WASHINGTON - The subject was whether to modify helmets for soldiers in Iraq, but all eyes were on Cher. As photographers clicked away, the singer and actress entered a Capitol Hill hearing room through a back door 20 minutes after the session was scheduled to start. The hearing soon got under way. Cher has donated more than $130,000 to the group Operation Helmet, which pays about $100 to modify the inside of soldiers' helmets to make them better able to absorb shock from a bomb blast. Cher, wearing a white lace top under a black pant suit, looked solemn as...

<p>PALM SPRINGS -- Sonny Bono was different things to different people.</p> <p>To one generation, he will forever be remembered as a singer-songwriter whose 1960s TV image was built on playing goof to his quick-witted, sophisticated wife, Cher, in the hit series "Sonny and Cher." To others, he was a politician whose own quick wit endeared him to an oft-cynical Congress at the hottest times.</p>

More and more celebrities using fame to back causes 12/26/2002 Associated Press NEW YORK - From the moment Sean Penn arrived in Baghdad, eager to advance the cause of peace, he was doomed - a dead man talking. He was a celebrity, like so many other celebrities who have waded into the treacherous waters of politics or international relations. So he walked gingerly - he was there, he said, "to learn and not to teach." He avoided reporters. And he was careful not to say or do anything that would cause a meltdown at home. So the Iraqis did...

The US Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments in Eldred v. Ashcroft this week, in which the Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998 will be challenged. The legislation, which extended existing copyrights an additional twenty years, was originally conceived by talent powerhouse Sonny Bono and is coplloquially known by his name, and also as the "Mickey Mouse Act" because of the intense lobbying pressure Disney brought to bear on Congress in getting it passed just as old Mick was set to pass into the public domain. The good fight is spearheaded by Stanford University law professor Lawrence Lessig, who...
