"Have you slapped a pacifist today? If not, get to it. It’s one thing to
protest a war undertaken in some remote jungle you have to take a long flight
to, and whose purposes may be a bit gauzy. It’s quite another when the enemy
is dive-bombing New York and Washington. "
-David Shifflet, Women's Quarterly
[Same pic as on Thurs Lucianne cos that one was pasted after midnight. The "Tribute of Lights" pic was on before midnight.)
Know Thy Audience: The New York Times sneers at Fox for knowing
where the
country's taste lies as 15.5 million tuned in to their pop culture punch up,
Celebrity Boxing.
Why is everyone so surprised
? This country elected Bill
Clinton twice, does not care about his administration's criminal behavior
and
takes his wife seriously as a possible presidential candidate. What did they
think they would rather watch - Masterpiece Theater?
A Different Kind of Wrestling: Here's an unhappy story from the LA
Times.
The Nixon girls, Trisha and Julie, whom we all grew up with, are in a hassle
over Dad's friend BeBe Rebozo's money. Old Nixon hands say it is Trisha's
interfering husband, Edward Cox, who is monkey wrenching things.
Unpleasant for them
but interesting to hear those names again.
A Present For You: Just in case your blood pressure hasn't reached
nosebleed
level over
the Congressional report
on the Clinton pardons, here is where you
can find all the gory details on the web. It's best just to browse through
it. If you read it line for line it is going to ruin your weekend and we
can't have that.
It's Not Easy Being Fourth: The London Telegraph has a somewhat
dubious
interview with one of bin Laden's wives who says he jumped ugly with her
when
she asked about some old bombings he did at work. She says he was a lousy
sleeper even when he was beside her (a little dig there to Mrs. 1, 2 and 3?)
One wonders why these women
want to marry such irritable old grumps. They
dress funny, have a nasty attitude and drag them, the kids and all their
stuff from cave to cave. What's the matter with a nice accountant in Kabul?
Weird and Weirder: We mention tomorrow's "wedding" of Liza Minnelli
and David
Gest just to show that there is an alternative to Celebrity Boxing.
This deplorable event
has been trumpeted relentlessly New York's aged gossip
divas, Liz Smith and Cindy Adams, for weeks as though this were a second
Chuck and Di. It is a travesty of the sacrament of marriage and a paid for
freak show of the worst kind. It is, however, worth following only for the
names of those attending that you would swear were dead.
Erin Go Ldot: To those beautiful Irish among us we send heart felt
good
wishes for a wonderful St. Patrick's Day weekend. May the road rise up to
greet 'ya and all that good stuff.
