George Michael

So, George Michael tapped this:

After being caught in the bushes with a unemployed 58 year old van driver, complete with a stained mattress in the back, the tabloid followed him to his house:

Meanwhile his new buddy Kirtland crept from the undergrowth looking sheepish and rushed to his Ford Transit van. As he opened the door a grubby, stained mattress was clearly visible in the back.
We later tracked him to his home 60 miles away—a squalid flat in Brighton, East Sussex.
Looking gross and dishevelled, Kirtland answered the door naked — pulling on grimy shorts as he invited us in.
[…]
Kirtland’s dingy place just off Brighton seafront, was littered with rubbish, dirty crockery and filthy laundry. His only companion is a 20-year-old cat.

Good gravy, were I a tabloid, I’d have like 5 guys on GM watch 24/7. It really doesn’t get any better than this…

SFGate:

The large number of dairy cow deaths have overwhelmed the rendering plants that normally dispose of the carcases.
“If you don’t bury them, you have to deal with the stench and flies,” said John Ferreira of the Cotta & Ferreira Dairy in Stockton.
The state Department of Food and Agriculture has issued a waiver in eight counties allowing animal carcases to be disposed of in landfills.
Steve Lyle, a spokesman for the department said his agency believes thousands of head of livestock have died, but he could not provide a specific number.

Mmmmm… rendering plants.

Went to Kathy Griffin last Thursday. Despite being a bit late, she went on for over 2 hours with entirely new material.
To end, she read an email she received just before the show. I’m paraphrasing here, but it went something like this:

Hi Kathy.
I was wondering now that you’re single if you’d ever try a woman. I’d really like to meet you and think we’d have a wonderful time.
I’m staying at the EconoLodge and my room number is…

Most excellent show. The Warfield was a bit hot, but it was all laughs the entire time…

So let me get this right…

Israel gets weapons on the cheap from the US then bombs the living daylights out of Lebanon. We give $30M in aid to Lebanon then Newsweek portrays Bush as a decisive leader “handling” the crisis in the Middle East.
37% approval.
Irony, RIP.

Having a navigation system installed in my car somehow adds $80 a year to my insurance, and even combined with my home owner’s policy I’m still tapping out at $1840 a year for a 4 year old car which is paid for. And it’s garaged. And has an alarm. And I only drive it for “pleasure.” (No work or school driving, 7500 or less miles/yr.) And it has GPS tracking, were it stolen.
Such a fucking scam.

Krazy Kent Hovind

It just endlessly fascinates me that anyone like this batshit crazy assclown could have enough money to rack up a $473k tax bill:

A Pensacola evangelist who owns the defunct Dinosaur Adventure Land in Pensacola was arrested Thursday on 58 federal charges, including failing to pay $473,818 in employee-related taxes and making threats against investigators.
[…]
Kent Hovind, who often calls himself “Dr. Dino,” has been sparring with the IRS for at least 17 years on his claims that he is employed by God, receives no income, has no expenses and owns no property.

Who the hell is giving this guy money? Even nutjob organizations like the Discovery Institute steer clear of this dude.
I also find it fascinating that the most comprehensive response comes from an Australian.

What’s next for the iPod guy?

When UCSC Chancellor Denise Denton swan-dived to her death from the 42nd floor of a San Francisco apartment building, the media seemed, well — confused — of what to make of it.
Thankfully, Michelle Malkin has stepped forward to piss all over Denton’s grave — a grave which she may have helped create.
TAP:

You may have missed this story, but it’s worth a look. It appears that Michelle Malkin is taking some heat from her compadres on the right because she failed to apologized after heaping a great deal of vitriol on a woman who subsequently committed suicide.
Well, now Malkin has lashed back at her critics. Her response? She smeared the dead woman again, calling her a “corruptocrat.”
[…]

Vile. What’s next? Ann Coulter, fresh from attacking the 9/11 widows/widowers, plagiarist?
Really, if there is a hell, these people are on the short list…
