| Russians Plant Flag on Arctic Seabed |
"Two deep-diving Russian mini-submarines dropped a titanium capsule containing the nation's flag on the bottom, symbolically claiming almost half of the planet's northern polar region for Moscow."
 No, no, no, no. I don't think so. According to historical tradition the proper way to symbolically claim a chunk of terra-firma is to physically and in person stake your countries flag until it stands up out of the ground on it's own. To do otherwise constitutes a wimpy, cheating maneuver.
Fly by night littering of a titanium capsule doesn't count. America didn't just fly over the moon and slam dunk our flag onto it's surface. You're supposed to walk a few steps and say a few choice words. Popping up a YouTube video of the event may even make believers out of us.
Good try Russia, but come on. You're Russia for Pete's sake. I'd expect better.Labels: Political Issues |

| Nancy Grace "Objection!" |
 Nancy Grace "host of her own show on CNN, a legal commentator on Court TV and a former prosecutor who never loss a case" is coming to Savannah to show her ass tomorrow morning for a presentation and book signing to benefit the Backus Children's Hospital.
I'm having objections and issues with the Queen of Mean even stepping foot into our beautiful city that is known for it's polite and charming hospitality.
A city that she had referred to as being as dangerous as Baghdad!
It is obviously a sad attempt at a sorry public relations ploy to soften the Queen of Mean up after she directly harassed a guest on her show to the point of suicide. If I remember correctly, talk show host Jenny Jones indirectly created similar victims after exploiting their dysfunction and circumstances and she is no longer on the air.
In her book, "Objection!" she claims to be an "outspoken critic of the media circus that often surrounds high-profile cases."
Oh really? Well let's take a look at some cold hard facts here Ms. Nancy Grace. Your very own CNN website today for instance. Tonight's show is about Anna Nicole, Saturday's show is about Anna Nicole, Sunday's show is about Britney Spears and wouldn't you know it Monday's show is about Anna Nicole. Nancy Grace even has a voter poll up asking whether or not we're satisfied with the judge's ruling on the Anna Nicole case.
Excuse me Ms. Nancy Grace, tell me more about this media circus again? Funny thing about Circuses, they used to have politically incorrect side shows that featured and exploited freaks.
"Ladies and Gentlemen of Savannah... boys and girls... step right up and see the bitterest woman in the world present a lecture on justice. Tickets just $50!"
It gets even freakier folks, the book "Objection!" that Nancy Grace will be signing at this event was reported by the New York Daily News in September of 2006 of containing 359 plagiarisms. Her defense? This was a "inadvertent error" that she intends on correcting in future publications.
Savannah, we are a beautiful city with honorable people despite our differences. Our city, our victims and our problems need not be exploited by the likes of this horrendous woman.
Backus Children's Hospital is a wonderful foundation and deserves our support. You have many opportunities to do so by giving financially, giving blood or becoming a Volunteer.
Circuses are the sort of events that once you've seen one you've seen 'em all. Nancy Grace obviously has nothing new, nice or original to bring to Savannah's Civic Center tomorrow. Other than to shoot her mouth when many of us would rather see her shoot out of a cannon clear to Carolina.Labels: Political Issues |

| Why Vote for Barack Obama |
Political news this past week has been funnier than watching Comedy Central's South Park. In case you haven't been up to date, President George W. Bush threw himself a Cartman fit - saying more or less, "Respect my Authori-tay!" when he declared himself the sole decision maker last week. John McCain has become Professor Chaos and Ms. Garrison, or rather; Hillary Clinton had slaughtered our National Anthem like a bad American Idol audition, So without further adieu...
Vote for Barack Obama because he is articulate and bright and clean!
Now these aren't my words, but the words of another Presidential hopeful; Senator Joe Biden of Delaware who spent a long-winded 12 minutes apologizing for this politically incorrect remark. It seems a well groomed, highly educated, honest black man who speaks the King's English is standing out like a sore thumb making the other Presidential hopefuls a little concerned that they will go unnoticed.
President Bush was quick to defend his fellow short-bus friends this Saturday when he attended the Democratic Conventional Retreat. "Now look, my diction isn't all that good, I have been accused of occasionally mangling the English language. And so I appreciate you inviting the head of the Republic Party."
No offense, Mr. Bush but you seemed to have left out the "can" in Republican Party. We're sorely in need of a decision maker who can be democratic. Making good ole' Obama here a welcomed breath of fresh air.
