    Nearly every season of “The Bachelor,” there’s a stark disconnect between what was filmed and where the final couple is now, months after the cameras stopped rolling. That’s especially true this season featuring Matt James — a 29-year-old real estate broker from New York who’s the first Black man to star on the show. As Monday night’s finale opens on a snowy Nemacolin Resort in Farmington, Pa., viewers are reminded that before we can get answers to what happened with Rachael Kirkconnell, the 24-year-old graphic designer from Georgia who’s sparked controversy over her racially insensitive social media posts, we will...
  • Need your help to make Stephen Colbert, Rep. Lofgren look bad (immigration)

    Stephen Colbert has been pitching amnesty and illegal immigration lately, and on Friday he'll be on Capitol Hill (link) (presumably) promoting the AgJobs amnesty and the UFW's TakeOurJobs. The UFW promotes his appearance here. If I can get some help, we might be able to make both Colbert and Rep. Zoe Lofgren (a former immigration lawyer) look bad. Why is this important? Because Colbert has a megaphone, and he and Stewart are trusted by large numbers of people. And, most of those people aren't familiar with the details of immigration matters. This is also an example of very strong illegal...

    A statewide coalition of public and private organizations today launched a "long-term war against an epidemic of obesity" that is leading to serious health problems in Wisconsin. Helene Nelson, secretary of the state Department of Health and Family Services, used that phrase as she announced the Wisconsin Nutrition and Physical Activity State Plan, a blueprint that has been developed with a five-year federal grant of $450,000 per year since 2003. It is a call to action that hopes to enlist businesses, schools, local governments, health care systems and, most of all, individuals to change patterns of eating and exercising. The...
  • Once again, MTV throws wild party

    08/29/2003 11:17:36 AM PDT · by jeremiah'sdaughter · 68 replies · 563+ views
    I am so disgusted with our society, where everything's accepted and nothing is sacred. The article about Britney Spears and Madonna at the MTV music awards is just one of the examples that we have lost all morals and now are on a down hill slope to rock bottom. I saw this article and it sent me over the edge. Have all women lost complete respect for themselves??? This is surely the devils playground.
