Angelina Jolie Makes The World A Better Place

trix — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 17:49:00 GMT

Angelina Jolie recently took a secret trip to Afghanistan where she furthered her role as a Goodwill Ambassador. She takes her role very seriously and has taken steps to insure that the refugee children get the help they need.
Actress Angelina Jolie and a team of 25 powerful law firms are joining forces against the government's attempt to deport thousands of unaccompanied and illegal immigrant children - including hundreds from New York City. Backed by Microsoft Corp., Kids in Need of Defense will provide free legal representation to children separated from their parents. The group will open offices in New York and other several other cities... "These children often have nothing - no money, no support and no family," Jolie said in a statement. "Many end up becoming lost, traumatized, and ultimately forgotten."
"Over the past seven years, I've worked with UNHCR and I've traveled around the world trying to bring attention to refugees," she said. "It's been a remarkable education."

Jolie, who has visited dozens of war-torn countries around the world, spoke passionately on behalf of the victims she's met. "I've seen refugees return to live among the same people who attacked them," she said. "They are returning to the same lawlessness that sent them running in the first place. I've seen aid workers tear up as they put ladies on a bus and say, 'I don't know what we're sending them back to...
"I don't know if the ICC is the answer. And I don't know what type of court is, or what it would need to be to make all of us agree and make it strong enough," Jolie admitted. "But I do know this: No mother who had her children killed in front of her, no young girl sold into slavery, no boy kidnapped and forced to be a child soldier and no young girl like the 3-year-old I met in Sierra Leone, who had her limbs cut off, should be expected to simply forget. No one should have to choose between peace and justice."

Those are powerful words and we can hope that this team of lawyers can make a difference in the lives of these women and children. It will be a great thing to make sure these victims see justice.

The Terror Of Sarah Palin

trix — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 19:03:00 GMT

Sarah Palin is a terror, a book burning terror.
Tales From The Crypt editor-in-chief Jim Salicrup revived the comic book 16 months ago and just recently put Sarah Palin on the cover. The reason he put her on the cover of the terror filled comic book, isn't to show support for Barack Obama but to speak out against the very thing that made the original publisher close down the operation in 1955.
On the cover Sarah Palin yells out, "Didn't we get rid of you guys in the 50's?" This is supposed to represent the rumor of her wanting to burn books in the Wasila library and the real threat of censorship.

"According to Jim Salicrup, editor-in-chief of Papercutz, the publisher that revived the classic title about 16 months ago. "This was not a partisan thing. People tend to think of everything as black and white these days—you are either for or against one of the parties 100%. But for us this was about the history of EC Comics, the original publisher of ’Tales from the Crypt.’ Anyone who knows that history knows that even of whiff of banning books is going to get us angry."

"Tales From the Crypt is not endorsing any political candidates, nor are we attacking any candidates. What usually seems to be behind banning books is an attempt to repress ideas that may offer alternative political views. This is not only un-American—blatantly violating the very concept of free speech—but it is assuming that people are unable to come to their own informed conclusions."

'Joe The Plumber' Doesn't Understand The Media

trix — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 14:01:00 GMT

Joe Wurzelbacher is mad. So mad in fact, that he is striking out at the media for jumping feet first into his personal life and finances.
"The media's worried about whether I've paid my taxes, they're worried about any number of silly things that have nothing to do with America," Wurzelbacher told the former Republican presidential hopeful on his show, "Huckabee."

What did he think was going to happen? Did he not see what happened to Sarah Palin? She was completely vetted by the gossip magazines so be prepared, it will only get worse before it gets better.

Sarah Palin Wants To Be On SNL?

trix — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 11:27:00 GMT

Sarah Palin and the McCain staff are trying to figure out how to respond to the spot-on impersonation done by Tina Fey on SNL the last three weeks.
Do you think that she should respond at all?
The Chicago Sun-Times reports that a Palinesque tweak to Tina Fey's American Express commercials may be in the works.
Sarah Palin may also appear on NBC's "Weekend Update" as early as Thursday night.

I can't wait to see what the next SNL Palin skit will be. They have been pretty funny thus far.

Sarah Palin Loved the SNL Skit, But Didn't Listen to It

Karl Erikson — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 17:20:00 GMT

By now, the entire world has seen the hilarious SNL skit of Tina Fey channeling Sarah Palin. What? You haven't? Well, then, click here to see it for yourself. It's brilliant. It was the only funny thing in last week's premiere of Saturday Night Live.

Even Sarah Palin loved it. No shit. She laughed her ass off, which proves she has a sense of humor. Except - get this - she tells Fox News' Sean Hannity that she didn't actually LISTEN to the skit. "I watched with the volume all the way down," Palin said.

"I didn't hear a word she said, but the visual was spot on. It was hilarious. In fact, I dressed up as Tina Fey once for Halloween."

Sarah Palin, I call bullshit. There's no way in hell you didn't listen to that skit. Nobody has that kind of self control. Then again, maybe you're not lying your ass off. After all, Bill Clinton never inhaled or had sexual relations with that woman.

Heavens to murgatroid, will it ever stop?

The Enquirer has done some digging and says that it came up with a video of Bristol Palin smoking pot on camera. It also had a source who like any true source would, spilled the beans regarding Levi's, cocaine buying, smoking Oxycontin off of aluminum foil, habits.

They have such great parents!

The video of Bristol is from 2 years ago when she was 15, and reportedly was giggling like crazy after taking hits. The video is also being labeled as a regular night out for Bristol and her friends.

The pictures are a couple of years old as well of girls who are supposed to be friends with Bristol. It's supposedly a picture of Bristol, but as a commenter said it doesn't look like her. More like her and Levi's friends.

They're doing the Miley Pose.

Did Bristol and Levi Have A Shot Gun Wedding?

trix — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 20:16:00 GMT

Bristol and Levi may have tied the knot recently. That is, according to a Facebook page that has Bristol's name and picture on it. The couple got hitched and she, like any forward thinking woman may or may not do, hyphenated his name.

Do you really think that she would have used that picture, out of all pictures available? I'm thinking no. I think that the couple will be getting married soon but that it will be a minute or two before they do. Sarah Palin has a lot going on and needs to get a couple things done and over with before she can give her attention fully to being the interferring mother of the bride.

Sarah Palin is a Liar?

Karl Erikson — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 13:47:00 GMT

If you watched Sarah Palin's speech at the Republican National Convention, you weren't alone. Over 40 million people saw that speech. Maybe a handful of those people were tuning in to see if she'd talk about her pregnant daughter, or get the chance to see her future son-in-law, Levi.

Regardless, it's time to talk about that speech in a little more detail. Because, folks, Sarah Palin didn't just stretch the truth.

Sarah Palin lied.

There's a story on ABC News' web site that goes through some of Palin's quotes and then does a little honest fact-checking against those statements. Here's some of what she said, compared with the facts.

LIE #1: "Obama is a man who can give an entire speech about the wars America is fighting, and never use the word 'victory' except when he's talking about his own campaign."

FACT #1: On July 15, Obama used the word "victory" twice in reference to Iraq. He said, "I want Iraqis to take responsibility for their own future, and to reach the political accommodation necessary for long-term stability. That's victory. That's success. That's what's best for Iraq."

A week later in Germany on July 23, Obama used the word "victory" three times describing Allied successes during World War II.

LIE #2: "There is much to like and admire about our opponent. But listening to him speak, it's easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform -- not even in the state senate."

FACT #2: Of course it depends on how you view the word "major." Obama worked with Republicans to pass legislation that would expand efforts to intercept illegal shipments of weapons of mass destruction. As a state senator in Illinois, he sponsored two bills, one that studied racial profiling by police and another that made it mandatory to record interrogations in death penalty cases.

LIE #3: "I fought to bring about the largest private-sector infrastructure project in North American history. And when that deal was struck, we began a nearly $40 billion natural gas pipeline to help lead America to energy independence. That pipeline, when the last section is laid and its valves are opened, will lead America one step farther away from dependence on dangerous foreign powers that do not have our interests at heart."

FACT #3: The big project? Yeah, not yet approved by the Feds. The proposed pipeline would ship natural gas from Alaska to homes and businesses across the U.S. The Alaskan legislature, with Palin's help, just agreed to pay Canadian energy company TransCanada $500 million to build the pipeline.

LIE #4: "And I have protected the taxpayers by vetoing wasteful spending: nearly half a billion dollars in vetoes. I suspended the state fuel tax, and championed reform to end the abuses of earmark spending by Congress. I told the Congress 'thanks, but no thanks,' for that Bridge to Nowhere."

FACT #4: As mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, Palin hired a lobbyist to get earmarks from Congress. Wasilla, with a population of 10,000, got $27 million in federal money, about as much as Boise, Idaho, with a population of 200,000. The money went to sewage improvements and roads connecting the town to a local ski resort. With the "Bridge to Nowhere," Palin supported it at first. It would have used federal funds to build a $398 million bridge from Ketchikan to Gravina Island, population 50. It was after the proposed plan was ridiculed that she pulled out.

So there you have it. It's always interesting to hear the other side of the stories that politicians tell. Sarah Palin may have given a good speech, but it wasn't exactly accurate.

But isn't that par for the course with politics? Hard to believe a word any of them say. Thank God this shit will be over in a couple of months. The campaigning, at least. We still have to put up with whoever gets elected.

Palin Kids: Piper and Trig Video

Whit Honea — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 11:34:00 GMT

Finally, a Sarah Palin moment that we can put our full support behind! Seven-year-old Piper was holding her little brother (nephew?)Trig during her mother's speech at the Republican National Convention when she gave him some rural grooming. It was pretty cute. I still slick my kids up like that, although I tend to use less spit and more vodka.

The video is below:

Okay, you've read the facts and some made-up stuff, now see more of the same! GOP VP nominee Sarah Palin spoke at the RNC to all of the U.S., and the reviews were mixed. One thing is certain, she's McCain's attack-dog. Biden was cast in this role as well. Is that what vice presidents have come to?

If you want actual facts they are available here from the liberal media.

Palin's First Baby Daddy Levi Johnston to Attend Republican National Convention

Whit Honea — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 17:24:00 GMT

Poor Levi Johnston. All the kid wanted was to be held and now he's being paraded in front of Alaska and America, respectively, as the official mascot of teen sex (unfunded teen sex, of course). Actually, he's probably loving every minute of it. Teen boys work hard for reps like that.

His plans have changed quite a bit. Normally he'd spend a Wednesday night hanging around the motherland (Alaska) waiting for the mullet to fill in, but not tonight! Levi will be joining his pregnant girlfriend and her family on the big, fancy stage that is St. Paul, Minnesota (not to be confused with the big, fancy stage that is Minneapolis, Minnesota) . He will get to experience first hand the magic made when two bodies that love each other, in this case Alaska and America (hey, which country comes first?), join together for a night and just let their emotion get the best of them. If it wasn't so political it would almost be romantic.

Speaking of romantic, Levi's mother has been quoted as saying that the couple had planned on getting married prior to the pregnancy. Regarding the new addition Sherry Johnston said, "'This is just a bonus." An unfunded bonus. In the country of Alaska. That has Hallmark channel written all over it.

I wonder if they'll get David Brickner to officiate the ceremony. Now that would be a bonus.

All of that being what it is, the real reason I feel sorry for Levi and Bristol is that their 2 minutes in heaven is going to cause them years, maybe a lifetime, of unwanted attention- much of which can be directly attributed to Sarah Palin throwing them to the lions, and to a lesser extent the fact that they had sex. Tonight they'll be fed to the media and let's face it, they aren't as nice as I am.

Vetting Sarah Palin: Like Forgetting Sarah Marshall, but Funnier: UPDATED!!

Whit Honea — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 16:01:00 GMT

There is some speculation in the media, by which I mean the real media- that being people with neckties and make-up artists, not unshaven bloggers in their underwear (and some men, too) that John McCain's team dropped the ball regarding the vetting[1] process of Sarah Palin.

We're inclined to agree.

That's why we here at FameCrawler, home of all things fameish and crawlesque have decided to help you, the voter. We've done some pretty extensive ~~drinking~~ vetting ourselves over the weekend (McCain, you owe us a house each) and have some interesting information on Mrs. Palin, some of which is actually true!

Here is a list of the items we uncovered without ever stepping foot in Alaska (not that there is anything wrong with that):

[1] From Wikipedia:

Vetting is a process of examination and evaluation. Specifically, vetting often refers to performing a background check on someone before offering them employment. In addition, in intelligence gathering, assets are vetted to determine their usefulness.

In the United States, a party's presidential nominee must choose a vice-presidential candidate to accompany him or her on the ticket. Prospective vice-presidential candidates must undergo thorough evaluation by a team of advisers acting on behalf of the nominee. In later stages of the vetting process, the team will examine such items as a prospective vice-presidential candidate's finances, personal conduct, and previous coverage in the media.

To vet was originally a horse-racing term, referring to the requirement that a horse be checked for health and soundness by a veterinarian before being allowed to race. Thus, it has taken the general meaning "to check."

More Trouble For Sarah Palin- Photos!!!

trix — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 21:24:00 GMT

Oh dear, when is it all going to end.? Bristol Palin is starting to look like she's going to be the bane of her mothers existence, or at least her campaign for VP.

Some new pictures have surfaced of Bristol who is only 17 partaking in, oh my don't say it, underage drinking. She's actually not drinking in the photos, but posing with alcohol bottles. The beer is open though, so who's to say whether she was or wasn't drinking it. There are also some shots of her with guns and Levi Johnston, the father of her unborn child. That is if she's even really pregnant.

Now, in Alaska a child can consume alcohol if it is given to her by her parents so...just saying...

I'll be honest my parents allowed my sister and I to taste their adult beverages, but to let us consume whole ones by ourselves, not so much.
