Random Thoughts on Various Subjects

1. They should rename CNN the Anna Nicole Network. They are milking this story hard.

I must say that I was amused when Anna Nicole said in an old interview that she wasn't a gold digger. Please. . . She married a decrepit old man who probably couldn't even get it up. And I highly doubt she would have married him if it weren't for all that money.

The other interesting thing is the paternity battle. Why are all these guys coming out of the woodwork to claim their fatherhood of Anna's baby? Money, of course. By being the parent of a sole heir, that money is yours. Men can be gold diggers, too.

Finally, there is ample fertilizer here for the conspiracy theorists. First, her son dies from an accidental overdose. Now, it may come out that ANS died the same way leaving the baby as the heir. Things that make you go hmmmmm....

2. This is not a healthy person:



3. I feel a certain amount of sympathy towards Scooter Libby. The guy was hung out to dry by his boss, Dick Cheney. It is my personal opinion that Cheney put Libby up to making the leak in the Plame case in order to win a pissing match with the CIA. Then, when the heat was on, Cheney let Libby take the hit for him. What a scoundrel. This is something straight out of Darth Vader's playbook. And while I'm at it, I think Rove and Bush are just as slimy in this affair.

Libby only needs a presidential pardon, but he won't get one. Scooter is the fall guy. This is what happens in politics. It makes me sick. But then again, I'm sure Scooter is no saint either. He should have told Dick to shove it and resigned. Sorry 'bout it.

4. Steve Jobs tells the record companies to abandon DRM. They won't because it spells their doom. The movie industry is next.

You can't make money from free music unless you're selling iPods like Jobs does. Their best bet is to make the music as cheap as possible. But like the movie industry with high ticket prices, they won't wake up and smell the coffee. It will be their undoing.

5. Pelosi got caught with her hand in the cookie jar. Welcome to your new job, Ms. Speaker.

The Speaker of the House should fly commercial. Period.

6. The IDIOT OF THE WEEK award goes to New York state Senator Carl Kruger for proposing legislation to ban iPods and similar gadgets from crosswalks in New York. Apparently, he is concerned for the "public's safety." Give me a frigging break.
