Chris Cornell Won't Get Fooled Again

Whit Honea — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 14:33:00 GMT

Rocker Chris Cornell and his wife Vicky and daughter Toni attended the Kennedy Center Honors where Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey of The Who were shown some love.

Cornell played a cover of "Won't Get Fooled Again" and frankly, I believe him.

I saw KISS cover that same song back in a little something I like to call "the day." I'm pretty sure they were fooled again.

Barack Obama Assassination???

Sassy Smith — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 04:38:00 GMT

A breaking story - a Denver television station is claiming that police my have stopped an assassination plot against Barack Obama! The suspects may be part of a white supremacy group!

From TMZ:

KUSA-TV claims three men are in custody after a routine traffic stop in Aurora (near Denver) turned up two rifles, high-powered scopes, ammo and meth. The man in the car led authorities to a hotel where another suspect jumped out of a fourth floor window in an attempt to escape.

A third guy was busted at another hotel but the info on him is sketchy.

The arrests went down yesterday. The TV station says sources said "Two of the men had tattoos and jewelry popular with white supremacists."

The mugshot inset in the photo is of one of the suspects, Tharin Gartrell.

We'll keep you posted!

The Obama Text: Barack is My Booty Call

Whit Honea — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 15:16:00 GMT

Barack Obama sent out a text message and/or email to an elite few (or thousands) of people at a little before 5a.m. (ET) to officially announce his pick for his running mate before going to the media. That's 2 in the morning on the left coast.

That's right, just as I was stumbling out of the bar with a soiled liver and a loin full of hope I got beeped. That is perfect booty call timing. Turns out I wasn't his choice.

Actually, I was in bed. I'm a family man, you know. Barack Obama is also a family man and so is his pick Joe Biden (as we told you hours before the big news stations dared to run with it). Between Obama's young daughters and Biden's 5 grandchildren the South Lawn may soon be sporting some swings and one of those cool monkey bar things that looks like a dome. Those are awesome.

Here's the text officially announcing JoBama:

Whit --

I have some important news that I want to make official.

I've chosen Joe Biden to be my running mate.

Joe and I will appear for the first time as running mates this afternoon in Springfield, Illinois -- the same place this campaign began more than 19 months ago.

I'm excited about hitting the campaign trail with Joe, but the two of us can't do this alone. We need your help to keep building this movement for change.

Please let Joe know that you're glad he's part of our team. Share your personal welcome note and we'll make sure he gets it:

http://my.barackobama.com/welcomejoe

Thanks for your support,

Barack

P.S. -- Make sure to turn on your TV at 2:00 p.m. Central Time to join us or watch online at http://www.BarackObama.com.

See, Barack and I are close like that.

Obama Names Biden Vice President!

Whit Honea — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 01:07:00 GMT

Updated: This is now official! Yeah, you heard it here first!

Barack Obama's followers (and detractors) are filling internets, inboxes and cellphones with speculation that the presidential candidate has picked a running mate.

It is believed that Senator Joe Biden of Delaware will be the Vice Presidential Candidate on the 2008 Democratic ticket.

Some news agencies are already running the story, although no official word is expected until early Saturday morning.

Biden had 3 grown children and five grandchildren. He lost his first wife and a child in a car accident in 1972.

He has a reputation for speaking his mind and having a quick tongue. One of his most popular quotes was in regard to then-Republican candidate and frontrunner Rudy Giuliani "There's only three things he mentions in a sentence: a noun, and a verb and 9/11."

We'll keep you posted.

UPDATED: Secret Service on their way to Biden's house.

Washington Redskin London Fletcher and his wife Charné have welcomed their first son. The couple are also the proud parents of daughter Paige.

They named their son Cortland Steele Fletcher. Great name.

"Well, we didn't want to name him London," said Fletcher. "We wanted to give him his own identity. We thought those two names were different. We thought it was a very strong and powerful name."

Tyra, Queen Of The Amazon, Meets The Sutters

HerBadMother — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 23:14:00 GMT

If anyone has ever doubted that Tyra Banks is a woman of epic proportions - and I mean that in the best, most awed way - then one need only look at this picture, in which Tyra towers over former football player Ryan Sutter and his (former Bachelorette) wife, Trista. Never mind the baby. Tyra's left breast is bigger than that baby.

I don't know what was in the water where she grew up, but boy-oh-boy did it make her GROW. Something fierce.

Rodney Atkins Supports Adoption, Pounds Son

Whit Honea — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 19:19:00 GMT

I won't pretend that I know who Rodney Atkins is. I don't generally listen to country music. I do know that Rodney, having been adopted himself, is an advocate for adoption and performed as such in Washington D.C, for National Adoption Day. Kudos.

Then he and his 5-year-old-son pounded fists. My boys are 21-months and 4, and they love pounding fists. I think the high-five is losing ground.
