Bush Receives Two Shoes

President Bush had two shoes thrown at him during a recent news conference in Baghdad, Iraq.  The visit was supposed to be an unannounced trip for a victory lap before the change of power in January to President-Elect, Barack Obama.  At present, there are nearly 150,000 U.S. troops remaining in Iraq to fight an unpopular war. In addition to massive loss of life, it has also been a huge economic drain to the tune of 576 billion dollars.    Bush had to duck to miss the swiftly approaching shoes that were sent compliments of a correspondent for Al-Baghdadia television, Muntadar al-Zeidi. Apparently, Mr. Al-Zeidi shouted, "This is the end," before lunging two size 10's at the head of President Bush. 

Gretchen from OC Housewives loses Fiancee

Today I learned that Gretchen from the Real Housewives of the OC lost her fiance, Jeff who died of a form of cancer of the blood.  Many of us think we're watching the show in real time, but it is actually taped months ahead.  Jeff actually died in September, shortly after the show wrapped.  I think that's really sad.  Last week I watched the show and I was furious at how the other ladies treated Gretchen.  They called  her a gold digger and all these other silly things.  Hey, she made the man happy if only for a short time and that's what he wanted.  As Kim from the ATL says, "Let your haters be your motivators."   She should be very motivated because she has lots of haters on the show.  Next week, they are announcing that one of the housewives is leaving.  I wish it was Vicki because she is simply obnoxious.  Vicki is self made which I like, but she is also mean and nasty to everyone, including her husband.  I don't know for the life of me how her daughter turned out so well.  It seems like neither of her kids can stand her.  I hope that the other housewives take a good look in the mirror because they acted like backstabbing, catty, low classed broads.  I wasn't going to write anything, but after reading her blog, I got a little mad.    

Michelle's Inauguration Dress?

I am sure by now that Michelle Obama has decided which designer duds she will be wearing to the inauguration.  I think that we can all agree that the dress by Narcisco Rodriguez, which she wore to the acceptance was hideous and unflattering.  I was more than shocked when she came out because she has such class and style, and typically makes good choices in her clothing.  She must be having so much fun.  I mean, who gets to play dress up on such a large scale and have their choice of any designer they choose.  Yep, I'm a little jealous, but more proud.  I can't wait to see them walk out on stage.  I know that they will all look stunning.  The above sketch is from Isaac Mizrahi.  I like the sketch for Michelle's dress, but I don't like the dresses for the girls.   

More Housewife Drama from the ATL

On the Real Housewives of Atlanta, we all seemed to gravitate to the free spirited Ne-Ne Leakes.  She was funny and always seemed to keep it real.  Well, it appears that Ne-Ne and her husband Gregg have been evicted from the 5,000 square foot home they were living in on the show.  Ne-Ne was contacted for comment by Essence, but pretty much said it was nobody's business regarding where she lived and what she pays.  She also refused to provide her current whereabouts to Essence.  Seems a little fishy, but I am going to delay judgement.  Well, it really is none of my business, but when you put yourself out there, you can look for scrutiny in every corner. According to Ne-Ne, the home was purchased under Gregg's business and something fell through, blah, blah, blah.   If Ne-Ne lost her home, I am very sorry, but you can't always keep up with those Jones.  Oh yes, I forgot, Ne-Ne is the Jones.  Well, that's just more for your ear.  These girls from the ATL refuse to go away quietly.  Oh, and we love them so much, why should they?
