Mel Gibson sued over “The Passion of the Christ.”
A judge has stated that Mel Gibson must answer questions about planning and filming “The Passion of the Christ” in response to a screenwriter’s lawsuit. Yesterday, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Gregory Alarcon ordered Mel Gibson to appear for a deposition by mid-January. Screenwriter Benedict Fitzgerald claims he was underpaid for his work on the film. His attorneys say Mel Gibson spent tens of thousands of dollars on his children’s education while filming in Italy and paid a c

Bush: "I Did Not Sell My Soul" [Don't Sell A Soul]
President Bush has long assumed, rather idiotically, that his universal unpopularity was just a fluke, and that historians would remember him kindly. The fact is there will almost certainly be revisionists at some future point who will say "he's not so bad" but torture and Katrina and Iraq kind of Seal the deal for his future reputation. But, sitting down with, uh, his sister for an oral history interview on the end of his administration, Bush is sanguine and only slightly defensive. How would he like to be

I am searching for the video of the actual interview - but let’s just say Ye asked for a bathroom break…How could you NOT love him? I mean really.  But chek the clip above where he performs ‘Heartless’ and if you (like me) downloaded the album, 808’s & Heartbreak last week, then you (like me) need to go on ahead and cop it legit. Don’t be like that. Our President wouldn’t like it. Posted by THEflyGIRL on November 26, 2008 Category: Mus

Bush's self-legacy: 'Did not sell his soul'
President Bush usually is reluctant to talk about his own legacy, suggesting that historians will sort all of that out long after he is gone. But suddenly, with a chance to create his own entry in the archives of the Library of Congress, Bush sees a very clear legacy in his own mind. The retiring leader, a born-again Christian who says he has "been in the Bible every day since I've been the president,'' declares that he is proud of something his father, too, can declare: They have not sold their souls.

Michael Vick’s Sentence Reduced
Michael Vick’s sentence is reduced. Former NFL quarterback Michael Vick pleaded guilty Tuesday in a Surry, Va., court to a state dogfighting charge, a move that could make him eligible for early release from prison and a quicker return to pro football. Vick, 28, also pleaded not guilty to a count of cruelty to animals, but that charge was dropped under his plea deal. He received a three-year suspended sentence - significantly less than the maximum of 10 years he could have faced. For now, Vick is serv

Terror in India: Obama's First Test
The series of terror attacks in Mumbai comes at a sensitive time for the US. President Bush is no longer in a position to lead, and President-elect Barack Obama has not yet been given the reins. Still, the attacks represent Obama's first foreign policy test.

Hand gels: Are they replacing soap and water?
LONDON, England (CNN) -- If you've ever shaken someone's hand, only to watch them slather themselves with hand sanitizer afterwards, you're not alone. Germs, germs everywhere: Clean hands are the first line of defense against spreading infections. The little bottles of hand gel are everywhere you look, especially now during the prime cold and flu season in the U.S. and Europe. Even world leaders, it turns out, are equally concerned with fighting pesky germs. President Bush offered Barack Obama hand sanitiz

Iraqi Parliament Approves U.S. Troops Through 2011
The Iraqi parliament on Thursday approved an agreement for U.S. forces to remain in the country until January 1, 2012. The pact was agreed to by 144 members out of the 198 members-present of the 275-member assembly. It was one of President Bush’s goals to secure a Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) before he left office. The agreement has been supported by Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. Where this leaves Barack Obama is unclear. He has pledged to withdraw U.S. forces within 16 months. In July,

"We Support George McCain For President"
 For our last post about the RNC (thank The Lord Jesus That Watches Over Conservatives for that!), we wanted to show you a video that we think summarizes the feelings on the floor of the entire convention. Those feelings, conveniently, can be melted down to one line: some Republicans are staunch in their support of Bush and McCain, while others just wanted America to forget about Junior...This video is one in which I, Scanner Brian, must, in the interest of full disclosure, admit I was participant (I g

The Pentagon Memorial Park of 9/11 Remembrance Unveiled
The Pentagon Memorial project was built as a symbol of recognition for the thousands of lives lost as well as all those impacted by the September 11, 2001 attacks. 184 people died in the Pentagon itself, and this park and its architectural marvels are intended to bring peace to those still mourning, and a historical reminder to those who visit the site. The Pentagon Memorial park is inscribed with one-hundred and eighty-four memorial units. Each unit is dedicated to an individual victim - its placement an

October remains the month for political surprises
The Democratic nominee thought he had bested President Bush in their three prime-time debates. He also felt he’d convinced Americans his military and foreign affairs experience left him better equipped to end the Iraqi war. Then Osama bin Laden weighed in with the most recent "October surprise" to land with a thud on a presidential campaign. Kerry believes bin Laden cost him the presidency by issuing a videotape that criticized Bush and warned U.S. voters that "your security is in your own hands" in

Bette Midler lends her support to Barack Obama.
Bette Midler has blamed the U.S government for the current credit crisis and has pledged her allegiance to presidential hopeful Barack Obama’s campaign. The star has vowed to support the Democratic presidential candidate in the elections next month because she can no longer live under a Republican government, currently led by George W. Bush. She says, “The Republicans have really bought us to our knees. I hope people remember what the last eight years were like when they vote. Now we’re in the m

Iraqi Parliament: Troops out in 3 years
One way or another: President-elect Barack Obama has promised to withdraw combat forces within 16 months of taking office in January. And today, the Iraqi Parliament ratified a security agreement with the United States that sets a three-year timetable for troop withdrawal. "Two years ago, this day seemed unlikely,'' President Bush said in a statement issued today - nearly six years after a U.S.-led invasion and ensuing war that has cost the lives of more than 5,000 Americans and tens of thousands more Ir

McCain Sabotages His Own Attempt To Save The Nation
It's time someone called "nuts!" on this McCain campaign suspension, fake attempt to save the economy, and the sabotaging of that fake attempt once it appeared Obama had the upper hand on the issue again... Here's what we've heard. It's possible, of course, that Politico, Politics1, RCP, and all the other sources are wrong, but let's assume otherwise for the moment: 1) McCain told David Letterman he couldn't do anymore interviews because he was rushing back to DC to work on
