And so it begins. Mr. Kerry, welcome to the frontrunner position. Hope you enjoy the ride. AP Exclusive: Kerry Blocked Law, Drew Cash By JOHN SOLOMON, Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) -- A Senate colleague was trying to close a loophole that allowed a major insurer to divert millions of federal dollars from the nation's most expensive construction project. John Kerry stepped in and blocked the legislation. Over the next two years, the insurer, American International Group, paid Kerry's way on a trip to Vermont and donated at least $30,000 to a tax-exempt group Kerry used to set up his…
As a kid, I was a big fan of GI Joe. I vaguely remember in the 70s having a couple of the big 12" dolls and the jeep. I think at least one of them even had "real" facial hair. In the 80s, I really got into them when the 3-3/4" action figures came out - Snake Eyes, Grunt, Scarlet, Stalker and Cobra Commander, who you could only get via a mail-in promotion. We shoplifted a bunch of them from the old Caldor's in Pelham every time we went, hiding them in our socks with the cardboard backing that had…
Notes on Mini-Super Tuesday
1. Joe-mentum has officially run out of gas. Credit his supporters - as far off the mark as Kucinich's - for having the courage of their convictions and voting for him anyway instead of jumping on the misguided "electability" bandwagon. The fact that he'll have a voice at the convention and Kucinich may not really pisses me off. 2. Kerry's military resume ultimately doesn't count for shit. If it did, Clark would be the front-runner, hands down. If the other candidates only learn one thing from Dean's rise and fall, it should be that you can't run on one issue.…
Can't get this damn Jessica Simpson song out of my head: With nothing but a T-shirt on I never felt so beautiful Baby as I do now Now that I'm with you With you, with you, with you Now that I'm with youGrrr... February 25th will mark my one-year anniversary at this job and, like clockwork, I'm starting to get a little bored. It doesn't help that my boss is ah...still a bit challenged 6 months into the job. It's the general tedium of a desk job that kills me, and it doesn't matter whether it's the relatively hectic pace…
Um, ok...so Janet was a bit more exposed than I realized as it wasn't a pastie but some sort of starburst with a hole for her nipple to poke through! Of course, seeing it in the moment - and in the inevitable excessive replays that will perfectly segue into her new album release on March 30 - as opposed to in print, I still say no big deal. Americans can be so stupid sometimes with their prudish ways.
Pumpkin Seeds: 2/2/04
1. Gonna have you nekkid, by the end of this song! What do Janet Jackson's right breast and Adam Vinatieri's game-winning field goal have in common? My daughter India made me miss them both! Super Bowl XXXVIII turned out to be an even better game than I expected, despite the hated Patriots winning it. Tom Brady and Jake Delhomme both deserve the "going to Disneyland" commercial. Also loved that both teams came out as a group, eschewing individual introductions. Be nice to see that become the norm. The halftime show was actually pretty hot, especially Kid Rock who needs to…
