The George W. Bush Olympics
These Olympics are fast becoming not the triumphant return of China to the world stage, but the comedic adventures of one George Walker Bush, man about town. Hot on the heels of his troop inspection at the Bush-gets-friendly-with-ladies--beach-volleyball-team">womens' beach volleyball, here is President George Bush, with First Lady Laura Bush, flashes Michael Phelps a hook em' horns sign as Phelps celebrates a world record and gold medal in the 2008 Olympic Games men's 400m individual medley final in Bei

'W.' trailer: Can his expose of George W. Bush get Oliver Stone back in the Oscars derby?
Oliver Stone's newest film, "W.," about the life of the current U.S. commander in chief could well put the three-time Oscar winner back in the derby. As you will see from the trailer, Josh Brolin eerily embodies George W. Bush, just as his father, James, bore a strong resemblance to President Ronald Reagan when he portrayed him in a 2003 TV miniseries. Oscar winners Richard Dreyfuss as Vice President Dick Cheney and Ellen Burstyn as Barbara Bush lend support as do Oscar nominee James Cromwell as Preside

Obama, the new JFK..
I just got finished watching Obama speak tonight (got it on tivo) and knew I had to write a blog, 11:30pm and exhausted from flights! This could not wait. I was moved to tears more than once throughout his speech. As I watched history unfold before my eyes, a woman running for president...a half black man being picked to run...I remembered asking my Grandmother and Mother about what it was like to watch JFK and Martin Luther king speak. How did it feel knowing you were a part of history? They explained how

Radiohead cancels surprise Thursday show; Thom Yorke feeling a bit under the weather
Radiohead was set to make an announcement today about a surprise show at the Chicago Theatre Thursday night. It would have been the official launch of the art-rockers' North American tour, and all proceeds would have gone to charity. The band was organizing the show itself, without the assistance of Lollapalooza organizers C3 Presents or any other local promoters. The group pulled the plug on the show early Tuesday, however, because singer Thom Yorke has been sick, and he wanted to rest up before the ban

Caption this - George W. Bush gets friendly with ladies' beach volleyball team
Ah, El Presidente, the leader of the free world, The Decider, the most powerful man in the universe, top dog in that great political system we call American Democracy. He is now officially the most-traveled American president of all time, giving him a deep and enduring understanding of the needs and wants of nations, their unique cultures and their quirky customs. What we like most about him is that he's always at ease in any environment, engaging in friendly banter, some witty rapport and always game f

What Bush and Batman Have in Common
A cry for help goes out from a city beleaguered by violence and fear: A beam of light flashed into the night sky, the dark symbol of a bat projected onto the surface of the racing clouds . . . Oh, wait a minute. That's not a bat, actually. In fact, when you trace the outline with your finger, it looks kind of like . . . a "W." There seems to me no question that the Batman film "The Dark Knight," currently breaking every box office record in history, is at some level a paean of praise to the fortitude

WTH Is President Bush Doing?
President Bush was in attendance for some of the events at the Olympic Games In Bejing over the weekend. I know he was enjoying himself but WTF? Is it me or is something very wrong with this picture?

George Bush: Memorialized in Shit
San Francisco voters will be asked to decide whether to name a city sewage plant in honor of President Bush, after a satiric measure qualified for the November ballot today. Backers of the measure, who for several months circulated a petition to place the measure on the ballot, turned in more than 12,000 signatures on July 7, said organizer Brian McConnell. The Department of Elections today informed those supporters, the self-proclaimed Presidential Memorial Commission, that they had enough valid signatu

CHOMSKY: BUSH & CHENEY SAW IRAQ AS A SWEETHEART OIL DEAL
originally posted on By Noam Chomsky, Khaleej Times Online. Posted July 12, 2008.U.S. war planners want an obedient client state that will house major U.S. military bases, right at the heart of the world's major energy reserves. The deal just taking shape between Iraq's Oil Ministry and four Western oil companies raises critical questions about the nature of the U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq -- questions that should certainly be addressed by presidential candidates and seriously discussed in the U

"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

Police Used 'Aggressive' Force In Brolin Brawl?
Police who arrested Josh Brolin and Jeffrey Wright in a recent bar brawl have been accused of "aggressive" behavior, according to a new report. The cast and crew were celebrating the wrap of filmmaker Oliver Stone's forthcoming George Bush biopic "W" on Saturday when they allegedly got involved in a fight between revelers at the Stray Cat bar in Shreveport, La. Now a witness has revealed to the New York Daily News the squad of 10 police officers attending the incident "got aggressive," even blinding o

Bush Signs "Russert Highway" Into Law
ABC News' Matt Jaffe reports: President Bush Wednesday signed a law designating a stretch of Route 20A in upstate New York as "Timothy J. Russert Highway," in honor of the late NBC News journalist. Tim Russert, NBC's Washington Bureau Chief and host of their Sunday interview program "Meet the Press," died of a heart attack on June 13. The portion of Route 20A that will bear his name is located in Orchard Park, New York, just outside of Buffalo, Russert's hometown. The road is near Ralph Wilson Stadi

Trailer for 'W' shows President Bush as party animal
Dubya won't be too happy with "W." President Bush is depicted as a rudderless young party animal in an upcoming Oliver Stone movie about his life, a trailer for the film shows. A youthful Bush is shown gambling, taking a swing at his famous dad and downing shots of booze in the 96-second clip promoting the flick. "What exactly are you cut out for?" asks by an actor playing the part of President George H.W. Bush. "Partying, chasing tail, driving drunk?" The younger Bush is depicted slamming his c

Palin Daughter's Babydaddy: Some Dude Named Levi, Reports Enquirer
Make that 2-0 for David Perel. Fresh off his success with the John Edwards story, sources tell Radar that an aggressive 36-hour push by Perel's National Enquirer reporting team forced Alaska Governor and John McCain's vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin to announce that her 17-year-old daughter Bristol is pregnant, an announcement which effectively puts an end to the Internet rumor that Palin had faked her own pregnancy to cover up her daughter's. (Or does it? There are already conspiracy theories that

Russell Brand's 'retarded cowboy' jibe at George Bush shocks MTV audience
Russell Brand faces being blacklisted by the American media after causing outrage with a string of offensive jokes at the live MTV Video Music Awards. The Essex-born comedian labelled President George Bush a 'retard', called Britney Spears 'the female Christ' and poked fun at young virgins. Brand, 33, who was hosting the ceremony live, had already been forbidden by MTV bosses to mention the C-word or, more bizarrely, Scientology. He began his opening monologue by saying: 'Please, America, elect Bar

A Note I Sent to You -- Three Years Ago ...from Michael Moore
Friends, I'm speechless after listening to Barack Obama's speech last night. So I'm sending you something I wrote to you two weeks after Hurricane Katrina. It remains every bit as relevant today, on Katrina's 3rd anniversary, as when I wrote it on September 11, 2005. Please give it another look.

Obama rejects Ludacris rap lyrics
A song by rap star Ludacris criticising Barack Obama's opponents has been called "outrageously offensive" by the US presidential candidate's campaign. Politics As Usual calls President Bush "mentally handicapped", and insults both Hillary Clinton and John McCain. "Ludacris is a talented individual but he should be ashamed of these lyrics," said Mr Obama's spokesman Bill Burton. The rap star's publicist initially declined to comment, reported the Associated Press.

EXCLUSIVE: ‘W.’ Photo Reveals Bush’s Wild Side
By and large I love me some Oliver Stone. I will defend just about all of his work except for “Alexander”. But even I am not sure what to make of his take on the life and times of George W. Bush. “W.” opens in just over a month and each glimpse me leaves me simultaneously intrigued and skeptical. Will Oliver pull off something special? Your guess is as good as mine. In the meantime, here’s an exclusive image.
