What happened today at Fort Hood army base is both tragic & unbelievable.I was astounded when the news broke that people had been gunned down at one of the largest military bases in the free world!

The shooter who was behind today's massacre is an Army psychiatrist.He was counseling other soldiers when Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan clearly needed help dealing with his own mental issues.He freaked out & killed 12 people.31 folks were also wounded in this shooting rampage.

Here's more from The Associated Press:

Talk about a cringe worthy moment! When Contessa Brewer of MSNBC interviewed Rev. Jesse Jackson,she called him Rev. Al Sharpton.

Well,Rev. Jackson took about half a minute to correct this pretty little birdbrain.I think he did that because he wanted to keep his composure.

But,he was visibly agitated by the ridiculous gaffe that Contessa Brewer made.Who would confuse Jesse Jackson with Rev. Al Sharpton?

And after apologizing,Contessa Brewer claimed that was what the script said.I've heard of sticking to t

Have you seen the video of the spooky halo-shaped cloud that was spotted in the Moscow sky?I would be freaked out if I saw something like that here in America.
But,along with the scary house decor,devilish sound effects & costumes,I might like seeing a supernatural looking cloud hovering in the sky this Halloween.That would really make trick or treating really scary & fun.

Here's more on the cloud in Moscow from The Daily Mail:

"In what could have been a scene from the film Independence Day, a luminous ri

I'm not sure if President Obama was feeling down about the Olympics loss.It sure seemed like we had a whole lot of folks here in America that were quite gleeful that Chicago was the first city that the Olympic committee voted out.

Well,I'm sure that glee will dissipate completely once those people find out that President Obama has won a Nobel Peace Prize.And he hasn't even been president for a year.I know that's going to piss the Obama haters off .Because being the third sitting U.S president to receive a

Did your hear about actor Randy Quaid's burglary arrest?! The eccentric-looking guy skipped out on a $10,000 hotel bill that he & his wife had racked up in California.The pretend Bonnie & Clyde got nabbed in West Texas. Damn,Randy Quaid! You should have just paid!

Here's more from The AP:

"Actor Randy Quaid and his wife have been arrested in West Texas for allegedly skipping out on a $10,000 California hotel bill.

Quaid and his wife, Evi, were taken into custody Thursday afternoon, according to Santa Bar

Muammar al-Gaddafi went on a bitch fest today. He bitched about everything from his jet lag to the way the United Nations handles its business.Gaddafi had a lot of stuff that he just had to get off his chest.

The Libyan leader also let it be known that he considers President Obama to be a son of Africa because of his Kenyan descent.He seemed to be trying to forge a kinship between himself & the leader of the free world.

I'm sure that President Obama didn't appreciate or want his wa

Why,Mackenzie,why?!!! The world did not need to know that you & your father had a sick,incestuous love affair.And that the drug-fueled sexual encounters between father & daughter were consensual after the first time it happened.

I don't know if Mackenzie Phillips is trying to garner sympathy or what.But,damn,girl! Some things really should be kept secret.Especially something as intensely gross as that!!!!!

Now, every time that I hear a Mama & Papas song,I'm going to think of what John Phillips did to his

I've heard of the expression "it takes a village to raise a child". But in a village,the villagers usually know each other.At least in passing,they do.

When Gloria Ballard spanked a child in a Salvation Army,she wasn't adhering to that expression.Ms. Ballard did not know Dannay Jones or her son.But,she decided to intervene when she saw the child behaving unruly.

The grandmother gave the mother some unwanted parenting advice.Then,she spanked the child.If I were Dannay Jones,I would have had to whup grandma

Rep. Joe Wilson needs to be publicly reprimanded for disrespecting the president of the United States of America! This is not the British Parliament.I'm glad Congress is drafting a Resolution of Disapproval.Here in America,we respect the leader of the free world!

Rep. Joe Wilson should have practiced the same decorum that he did when George Bush was the president.Because Rep. Joe Wilson never made a peep about the lie that turned into a war in Iraq.Why is he so vocal now?!!

The neoconservative didn't ca

I wonder if Ellen Degeneres will be a good fit for The American Idol.Even though she has no musical background that I am aware of,she is replacing Paula Abdul as the fourth judge on the talent show.

Judging from this spoof that she did of an American Idol contestant,William Hung,Ellen Degeneres is not all that funny.She's a likeable person,though.Maybe they are banking on that.

There was nothing political about President Obama's motivational pep talk to impressionable children today.If anything was being impressed on their minds,it was the importance of education in today's world.If that's indoctrination,we should let our kids be indoctrinated more often!

Thanks,Mr. President! This is one parent that appreciates the time that you devoted to America's kids!!! Lord knows that our children need the encouragement long before they decide to drop out of school.Not all children have pa

A 15 yr. old boy has a mysterious condition that has doctors baffled.Calvino Inman cries blood at least three times a day.His mother desperately wants to know why.Unfortunately,there are some who think they have the answer to what is causing this strange daily occurrence.They think that Calvino is possessed.Here's more on this stranger than fiction tale from The Post Chronicle:

"A Tennessee boy has been called possessed and doctors have called his condition a mystery. His name is Calvino Inman and his tear

Sen. Edward Kennedy will be remembered as one of the greatest Americans ever.This was a man born of wealth who truly cared about every spectrum of society.Especially those who were less fortunate than him.

But,Edward Kennedy was an Irishman as well.Ireland's foreign minister stated that the Kennedy family embodied the Irish immigrant story.And Prime Minister Brian Cowen says that Ireland has lost a "true friend."

Here's more from The Global Post:

" Nowhere outside the United States is the passing of Sena

I love William Taylor's wife!! The Virginia woman made her cheating husband ridicule himself by standing out in public with a sign stating that he cheated.Way to go,girl!

Make that man grovel before you take him back.Now,I'm certain that he'll think twice about resorting back to his philandering ways.

Dr. William Moody sure showed that he was in a horrific mood when the "parking rage" dentist shoved a woman to the ground over a parking space. Gee whiz! Get a grip,dude! If I were a White Plains,NY resident,that would be one dentist that I would steer clear of.Because Dr. Moody really takes his last name seriously.Instead of living up to the family name,this guy is the walking definition of his surname.

Here's more on this story from LoHud.com:

Kari Ann Peniche is the hot girl who won the Miss United States Teen pageant,only to lose her crown because of her steamy Playboy pics.Now,she is involved in a sex scandal with hottie Eric Dane of "Grey's Anatomy" & his beautiful wife,Rebecca Gayheart.Here's more from CBS News:

"By now you have likely seen or at least heard about the naked web video of Grey's Anatomy star Eric "McSteamy" Dane, his wife Rebecca Gayheart and former beauty queen Kari Ann Peniche.

Much has been written about Dane and Gayhear

If you haven't taken part in the "cash for clunkers" program,time is rapidly running out! August 24 is the last day to trade-in your gas guzzler for a new fuel saver! It may not help the poor,but it has provided some stimulation for the economy.
But,the dealers who have seen an increase in business are still waiting to be reimbursed by the government for accepting these clunkers.Here's more on that from CNN Money:

"Car buyers trading in a vehicle must prove that the vehicle has been titled to them for at l

Justice was not served here in America when Lynette Squeaky Fromme was released from prison.Even though she served out her entire sentence.Unlike the Lockerbie bomber,"Squeaky" was not released on "compassionate grounds."

The Scottish Justice Secretary has let Abdelbaset al-Megrahi go home to Libya because he is dying.I'm sorry,but there is nothing justified or "compassionate" about releasing a terrorist who murdered 270 innocent people.Where is the compassion for the victim's relatives?!!

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee is a Texas congresswoman who has made news for all the wrong reasons as of late.

First,she wanted to introduce a bill to the House of Representatives that "recognizes Michael Jackson as a global humanitarian."

Now, Rep. Jackson Lee is being accused of not recognizing her constituents.During a town hall meeting on health care,a cancer survivor asked Rep Jackson Lee a question that went unanswered.Why is that,you ask? Rep. Jackson Lee was talking to someone on her cell phone.

Damon Weaver is the very intelligent,handsome,& professional acting 6th grade journalist who finally got President Obama to give him an interview.I just love the determination that this young man possesses at the tender age of 11.This kid should go very,very far in his life.

Here's more on Damon Weaver from Politico:
