Wonder If Her Phone Has Paris’ Number in It

Trish

Brian Ross:

First Daughter Barbara Bush had her purse and cell phone stolen as she had dinner in a restaurant in Buenos Aires, Argentina, even though she was being guarded by a detail of Secret Service agents…

The purse snatching took place on Barbara’s first night in town while she was dining in the picturesque San Telmo neighborhood. According to the reports, the Secret Service agents failed to notice the incident.

The Secret Service would not comment on the purse snatching, and the First Lady’s office said they would not comment on any personal trip made by the daughters. There have been recent reports, however, that Jenna Bush has been living and working in Panama as an intern for UNICEF.

Weiner-Savage: Gays Are the ‘Most Powerful Group’ in US, a ‘Purple Hand’ Runs Hollywood, Gay Friendly Societies Are Doomed

“With God’s will and your listenership, we shall nuke Iran.”

Savage once sold herbal extracts and supplements

“I know [this screed against gays] is going to wind up tomorrow in several of the blogs run by gays — and they think only of that ’cause they’re like drug addicts.”
— Michael Weiner Savage

Rightwing radio philosopher Michael (ne Wiener) Savage — who lives in San Francisco and once posed nude with gay poet Alan Ginsberg, and who was fired by MSNBC for saying to a caller, “Oh, so you’re one of those sodomites. You should only get AIDS and die, you pig” — is an increasingly familiar type: a GOP homophobe who is obsessed with homosexuality. On the Nov. 16 edition of his radio show, the former salesman for herbal dietary supplements challenged gay liberal bloggers to post his latest thinking on the “radical homosexual agenda.”

I’m happy to oblige. But readers who are eager to learn — as I was — exactly what it is we radical queers are up to that is causing the destruction of civilization will be disappointed. What Mr. Weiner offers instead is a a stream-of-consciousness spleen-vent of ugly buzzwords loosely tied together with a string of ad hominen attacks and Freudian slips:

Pres. McCain Will Be 72 on Election Day 2008

Jon Ponder

He’d Be 76 at His Second Inauguration in 2012, and 80 At the End of His Second Term.

Pres. McCain’s superannuation will put a lot of pressure on him to choose a young and healthy vice president. (We’ve heard that Dan Quayle is tanned and rested.)

By contrast, Ronald Reagan, our oldest president to date, was 69 years old at his inauguration in 1980.

As regular readers know, I am a huge supporter of Newt Gingrich to be the GOP nominee in 2008. Republican voters please note: Newt will be a spry and 63 years old in 2008.
