Publication: Sun
Date: 20 June 2011

She is not part of the St. Louis Cardinal ownership.

Publication: National Enquirer
Date: 7 Nov. 2011
The Enquirer tells us that the grave of Elizabeth Edwards is still unmarked and they have exclusive photos. Though he is not mentioned, this is obviously a continuation of their theme "John Edwards is a scumbag".
You'll get no argument from me, and I voted for the guy.

Publication: People
Date: 7 Nov. 2011
People wants us to know that Cate Edwards, the daughter of the late Elizabeth Edwards, recently got married.
Technically, she also has to be the daughter of the under indictment scumbag John Edwards, but his name isn't mentioned.
Un. Be. Lievable.
This is my ninth World Series in my lifetime, and the fifth win, and this one has to be the sweetest -- the Cards late rush to the wild card, the great upset win over the Phillies, beating the Brewers in Milwaukee where the Regular Family lives, and now this electric Series against the Rangers. I just thank God and my Dad for making me a baseball fan and a Cardinal fan. Wow!

As a fat person, those are disheartening numbers. I've never gained weight that fast and 4,500 calories is a crazy number.
Damn You Skinny Alert™: Ricki Lake loses 20 lbs.
Publication: Us Weekly

Love Bird Alert™: When J. Lo & Bradley's affair really started.
Publication: OK!
Date: 7 Nov. 2011
As the story stands right now, Jennifer Lopez is the jilted party, what with her poodle of a husband Marc Anthony sniffing around Jada Pinkett Smith and messing the whole thing up. But this week, OK! says they know when J. Lo and her new beau Bradley Cooper really started seeing each other, which could completely change the whole "who jilted whom?" balance.
As usual, I didn't open the magazine to read it, so it could still be Marc got tired of Jennifer's well-formed-but-not-worth-the-grief hinder.
Hairdresser alert™: Rob Kardashian gay shocker!
Publication: National Enquirer
Date: 7 Nov. 2011

Nostradamus predicts the 2012 election
Publication: Sun
Date: 7 Nov. 2011
Are you among the people who accept any prophecy that has the name Nostradamus linked to it.
It's time you changed your mind. The Sun puts a bunch of stuff on the front page predicting the 2012 election and one of them I am certain is complete bunk.
Welcome to gossip hell, Mitt Romney! Nostradamus says he will run afoul of the IRS.
Not impossible.
Barack Obama will have a health scare.
He's young, but all of us are mortal. This is possible.
Sarah Palin will run as a Democrat.
Ah, hellz no, as we say in Oakland. She's not running for office, she's too busy running after cash. People do switch parties, but the party has a say about it, too, and she's obviously a loser now. She wouldn't switch and the Dems wouldn't take her.
I am so certain of this, I'm going to put the "Nostradamus fail" label on this one right now. I will come back in November 2012 to check the others.

The Enquirer, which has previously published that Barbra Striesand is a hoarder whose marriage is on the rocks, now says she has a deadly cancer. Here are the headlines.

Not Long 4 This World and Meanest Story nominee: Demi Moore's weight plunges to a life threatening level.
Publications: OK!, Weekly Life & Style, In Touch
Date: 7 Nov. 2011
Most weeks, it's the Three Wicked Step Sister tabloids, the Enquirer, Globe and low rent Examiner fighting it out for Meanest Story of the Week, but this week three of the allegedly more reputable gossip rags put Demi Moore on the tabloid vulture list, saying her life style could kill her. These are the headlines.
- Weekly Life & Style: Starving to keep her man
Demi's daughters fear for her life
95 lbs. and dropping
500 calories a day
Taking dangerous diet hormones
What is she thinking? - OK!: Starving for attention
What's behind (Demi's) dangerous weight loss - In Touch: Demi's deadly diet
Kick a corpse, why don'tcha and Meanest Story nominee: Buddhism killed Steve Jobs!
Publication: National Examiner
Date: 7 Nov. 2011
The low rent Examiner tells us there is a "Harvard report" that claims Buddhist beliefs killed Steve Jobs. It's a sign of how well known Jobs was that the low rent Examiner thinks their demographic, which skews older, more Southern and more dense, will know who he is and judge him on his scary non-Christian beliefs.
This is a nominee for Meanest Story of the Week.
Greatest. Baseball. Game. Ever.
Or at least the greatest one I've seen. Cardinals 10, Rangers 9. On to game 7!
No Posting. Heart. Attack.
Sorry for not posting tonight. I'm having a heart attack watching the Cardinals-Rangers game. 9-7 in the bottom of the tenth, Cardinals have the tying runs on.
I. Can't. Stand. Too. Much. More. Of. This.

File This Under "You Can't Make This Up"
The Occupy Wall Street protest took another bizarre (but telling) turn today, when its volunteer kitchen staff revolted against the influx of moochers:
Peter Schiff Becomes a Hero to the Right
New York businessman and radio host, Peter Schiff, by the end of today will have become an instant hero to many on the right. Schiff had the temerity to take a camera and a microphone down to the Occupy Wall Street protests and engage in dialogue with the leftists down there. His main point is that the protesters ought to be directing their energy against Washington, not against Wall Street; against Big Government, not against capitalism. My favorite parts are where he asks a woman who is berating him for his greed: "I employ 150 people. How many do you employ?" And when he asks people pointedly "How much of my income do you think the government should take? Is fifty percent enough?"
Great stuff.
Great stuff.
It's Working
Here's a new video from the MacIver Institute, a Wisconsin-based conservative think tank, that presents the data on how Scott Walker's budget reforms are working for the State of Wisconsin and its local school districts:
It is working. But you'd be hard-pressed to find that news reported in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, the state's biggest newspaper. Yes, there are important alternative outlets -- especially talk radio like Mark Belling and Charlie Sykes out of Milwaukee. But the fear here is that Walker's victories won't be felt by enough people in time to avoid the recall. People are just like that -- they hear people talking about the poor teachers or the poor public employees, but they don't notice things that don't happen.... like their property taxes not going up, where otherwise they would have had to have a big increase.
The video is a good start in getting the word out. We need to do a lot more.

OWS Supporters Don't Like Being Made Fun Of.... But Tough Shit, Buddy
I don't get many comments on the blog; heck, it's usually my Mom commenting that I should stop blogging and get back to work. But I got a comment on one of my posts on the OWS protests that's worth sharing. The fellow commenting was apparently perturbed that I had made fun of some of the OWS protesters who had felt put out that rich bankers got to work so early they couldn't chant at them and bang their drums when they walked by. Here is the comment in its entirety:
Meanwhile, I have a hard time understanding how exactly it is that OWS supporters feel that rich bankers make money off the backs of others. Bankers loan money to people who want money with the agreement that they will pay it back. They charge interest to make a profit, but there are numerous regulations limiting the amount of interest they can charge and, in any event, the market generally sets the interest rates, and lendors certainly have a right to recover the time value of their money, don't they? If bankers didn't make money lending money, there would be no reason to accept the risk of loaning and entrepreneurs, home buyers and, yes, students who want to borrow for college would have to do without. Maybe the OWS supporters think the world would be a better place without bankers, but I don't think it's a world they'd really much like to live in.
To me, a taxpayer, the real moochers in society who "make money off the backs of others" are people who accept welfare (I never have), accept unemployment benefits (ditto), accept food stamps (ditto), housing subsidies (ditto), or who work for the government and expect cushy benefits and early retirement "off the backs of others." And, of course, people who borrow money for things they can't afford (houses or college educations) and then don't want to pay it back, but want other citizens who are more responsible (taxpayers) to bail them out. But that's just me. Maybe I'm a dumb ass.
***
While I'm on the topic of making fun of OWS protesters, here's a video that's getting a lot of play out there. What exactly is this woman upset about? Apparently the world out there is just too confusing for her:
But I'm the dumb one?
The protest is about these people making money off the backs of others, dumb ass. Not the mere fact that they're rich. Dumb ass.I really like the repetition of the "dumb ass." I'm sure it made this anonymous fellow feel very intelligent to say it the first time, so he just had to get that feeling back again at the end. Hmmmm... calling someone who disagrees with me a "dumb ass," man, that's persuadin' the middle-class voter, ain't it?

Occupy Oakland Rioting... Let the Anarchy Begin
Obama and the Democrats were short-sighted in their support for the Occupy Wall Street mobs. It's not the Tea Parties -- citizens and taxpayers who simply want their government to reform and stop spending money we don't have. These people in the OWS protests are members of the anarcho-socialist Left, and while most of them are just silly and foolish, some of them were inevitably going to "break bad" as the saying goes.
Well, it's started with today's riots in Oakland:
When Obama says that he's fighting for the "middle class," I don't think those words mean what he thinks they mean. The middle class Americans I know don't like rioting in the streets of their cities.
