Hope you had a nice Labor Day guys and gals! Most of the news was political and scandalous over the long weekend…
First, let’s check in with our meal ticket. Amy Winehouse has cancelled yet another performance, due to health issues, this time in Paris, only two hours before her scheduled appearance. The people in charge are planning to sue.
The greenest Democratic Convention ever ended last week in Denver. Vehicles were fueled with the ethanol by-product of Coors beer, and delegates from each state were asked to offset their carbon footprint from their travel to the convention. Also, delegates noshed on food from biodegradable, corn-based containers, instead of Styrofoam.
Meanwhile, the Republicans have scaled back their convention celebrations in St. Paul, due to Hurricane Gustav approaching New Orleans. Smells like karma. At least they’ll have a smaller carbon footprint!
Republican candidate, John McCain announced his running-mate, freshman Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin. Unfortunately, Palin won’t do much to bolster McCain’s green image. As governor, Palin supports oil-drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and is against putting polar bears on the endangered species list because they live in oil-rich areas.
As a mom, Palin’s teenage daughter is preggers, but the real scandal is that liberal bloggers believe it’s the teen’s second pregnancy—the first resulting in a boy with Down Syndrome that the Governor claims is hers!
Diddy is pissed at McCain’s choice, because he says there are no black people in Alaska. BUT, Maryline Blackburn, a black woman beat out Palin in the 1984 Miss
Previews of Daniel Radcliffe’s Broadway debut in the play "Equus" start Friday. We’re sure that many people would love to see Harry’s little Potter.

You know things are bad if Diddy can’t even afford gas. And as for the pregnant Palin kid - how much can we really blame her? I mean there’s probably not much to do in Alaska. With all that down time (pun slightly intended)and the frosty climate, there’s good reason for her to want to cozy up with with her baby daddy(ies). I think it’s her mom’s fault if anything, for not enrolling the girl in some after school activities. They must have igloo building or something productive offered, no?
