Why it's almost as if we're inviting them to come on back and see what they can do to us the next time. Hmmm.

Three little words: Nuclear power plants. Okay-Nukular power plants.

Yes. With 9/11 as the flash point.

NEWS FLASH: Ditka storms out of meeting

Wednesday, July 14, 2004

By The Leader-Chicago Bureau

CHICAGO -- This morning in downtown Chicago, former Bears coach Mike Ditka left a secret meeting with IL GOP decision makers, angered about the media being tipped off about the meeting.

Ditka was to meet with members of the IL GOP State Central Committee and to speak via conference call with national level Republicans as he considered whether or not to fill the vacancy left when former candidate for U.S. Senate Jack Ryan announced his intentions to withdraw on June 25.

As word of the meeting leaked out to the press, Ditka reportedly was angered when met by reporters, exited the meeting promptly and hopped into his black Escalade, and left, obviously upset.

Ditka met last night with U.S. Senator George Allen, who flew into town to discuss the possibility of the former tight end filling the Ryan vacancy. Allen heads the Republican Senate Committee and is the son of football coach George Allen, who Ditka played for at one time.

Ditka's willingness to take on the candidacy may be in doubt now...

I doubt he's going to give up the plush lifestyle of golf tournaments and being the spokesman for Levitra to go toil away in Congress. Then again...

Slim-Fast Sheds Whoopi Goldberg After Bush Riff

39 minutes ago Add Entertainment - Reuters to My Yahoo!

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Comedian Whoopi Goldberg (news) will no longer appear in ads for diet aid maker Slim-Fast following her lewd riff on President Bush (news - web sites)'s name at a fund-raiser last week, the company said on Wednesday.

Florida-based Slim-Fast said it was "disappointed" in Goldberg's remarks at last Thursday's $7.5 million star-studded fund-raiser at Radio City Music Hall in New York.

"Ads featuring Ms. Goldberg will no longer be on the air," Slim-Fast General Manager Terry Olson said in a statement, adding that the company regrets that Goldberg's remarks offended some customers.

Republicans have expressed outrage over the fund-raiser for presumptive Democratic nominee John F. Kerry and his vice presidential running mate, John Edwards (news - web sites), in which entertainers lined up to skewer the president.

The New York Post said of Goldberg's appearance at the event: "Waving a bottle of wine, she fired off a stream of vulgar sexual wordplays on Bush's name in a riff about female genitalia."

A spokesperson for Goldberg declined immediate comment.

Slim-Fast is a unit of Anglo-Dutch food-to-detergent group Unilever Plc

This would have been a great opportunity to follow with more of Cheney's scintillating tale of forbidden love...

You mean more of these?:

"How well her words describe our love—or the way it would be if we could remove all impediments, leave this place and join together. Then our union would be complete. Our lives would flow together, twin streams merging into a single river."

"Being ruggedly masculine myself, I was touched to see that my mother does in fact understand the latent burning desires in every woman to discard phallic worship and enjoy the tenderness that only another woman can offer."

Hey--I went to school in South Carolina--where the state slogan is "Thank God for Mississippi" because they keep us from being dead last in every social, economic, and educational indicator that there is!


And Goldie--about the whole nuclear power plants thing--well, I guess I'm screwed as I live about 40-45 miles away from one! Then again, I live in SC and it's a Bush state so maybe he'll go hit one of the battleground states instead.

Hell, here's another:

""How well her words describe our love - or the way it would be if we could remove all impediments, leave this place, and join together ... Then our union would be complete. Our lives would flow together, twin streams merging into a single river."

I insist you guys track down a copy, it's hysterical. And the cover makes me choke with laughter. It has rape scenes, condom use (!!!), orgies, prostitution, everything one could ask for.

Poor thing!

I'll bet you were forced to read "Sisters" in English class, too.
