RNC Sees 10,000 Protestors In St. Paul  Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008  by Connie T. At the Democratic National Convention in Denver last week, there were a little over 1,000 protestors marching in the streets. But at the Republic National Convention (RNC) this week, the number of people marching in protest made that look like nothing. Police and reporters estimate that there were 10,000 people marching in St. Paul, Minnesota on the grounds where the RNC is being held. They carried antiwar signs, more expletives about FOX News (at one point the crowd was chanting "F*** FOX News!" with every step), and many flashed Ron Paul 2008 signs for network news cameras. Though most of the marchers were peaceful, at least 284 people were arrested after a small part of the group began throwing bottles, smashing storefront windows, and slashing tires, according to police. Just seven of these people are facing possible felony charges. Police used explosions of tear gas, and pepper spray when things got rowdy. Some sources say the arrests took place after an anarchist group that called themselves the "RNC Welcoming Committee" crossed barricades set up by police. Comments > >

Students For John McCain Need To Study Harder  Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008  by Connie T. Most of the news talk about John McCain and his camp today is surrounding Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and, unfortunately, her 17-year-old daughter's pregnancy. Since I cannot stand to see children being involved in the nasty world of politics, we're going to ignore that media circus completely and focus instead on this pen. Up until last week, John McCain's storefront was selling a pen that says "Student's For McCain." If you don't get the funny, there is not supposed to be an apostrophe in that slogan, and you'd be paying $6.00 for a writing utensil that writes "duh" quite well. On Friday, the store photo was changed to remove the apostrophe. Whether or not you'd get the misplaced punctuation on the actual pen, though, is a mystery. I'm certainly not going to order one to find out. Comments > >

The Song I Cannot Stand  Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008  by Connie T. Perhaps I wouldn't hate this song so much were it not for the fact that last night I was cuddled up in a blanket, vanilla candles burning and throwing shadows across my walls, my plush long-haired cat on my feet, prepared to read an enthralling but slightly overly-intellectual novel, and could not get past a single sentence due to a neighbor blasting Ray J's "Sexy Can I" until 1:00 in the morning. There is little more rage-inducing than being forced to listen to a song as superficial, mindless, pointless, moral-less, and most of all loveless, as this. It is the direction that pop culture meets hip-hop has taken, when - of all the infinite pleasures in this life - the focus is on sex, so much so that it has become a meaningless exercise described with as much candor and excitement as brushing one's hair. Sexy can I hit it from the front, then I hit it from the back Know you like it like that Then we take it to the bed Then we take it to the floor Then we chill for a second Then we shake that ass some more. There's some more nonsense mixed in about Louis Vuitton luggage, Gucci Shoes and Marc Jacob something-or-other, and female body parts that can "talk." This is all coming from William Ray Norward, Jr., aka Ray J., who is the son of a gospel singer and yet best known for starring in a sex tape with the equally talentless Kim Kardashian. This song is worse than Chinese water torture. No, it really is. Comments > >

Josh Hartnett Is Under Surveillance  Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008  by Esmerelda The problem was he didn't realize he was being watched. Evidently, Josh Hartnett and a lady friend slipped into the library of a rather upscale hotel, pulled the curtains and began to get friendly. Thing was they didn't realize the whole place was wired for sound and video too. The hotel workers were treated to quite a show. The staff members admitted to huddling round the monitor and watching. Some even said they were embarrassed. My question is why didn't one of the little perverts go and break it up? Anyways, in case any of you all were thinking of doing the deed somewhere other than in your hotel room here's a heads up. Most places are completely wired these days so don't drop trou until you get inside your room. Comments > >

Wait!  There's more!
