Cynthia Nixon of Sex In The City fame (I finally got to see it on E years after its run on HBO; what a loathsome show about some lonely, superficial people) is gay.

"Why did it take Bea, van Heerden, and Garzino to shed light on this story?The Army Corps of Engineers, as an institution, is not very receptive to criticism, from inside or outside.

Heehee. It's great that, no sooner than one single day has passed, already our so-called president's "bump" has evaporated (since who would that bump be from anyway - Republicans...) and already everyone has refocused on the real threat to the GOP establishment.

If further evidence were needed of the decline of American network television aka the mainstream media or MSM - look no further than ABC The Views dumbed down and crass coverage of the royal wedding. The Emmy-award winning show is watched by a large audience on weekday mornings, and its hosts on Friday included Oscar-winning actress Goldie Hawn. One of the The Views co-hosts yesterday, Joy Behar, a controversial liberal comedian with her own show on CNN Headline News, thought it would be immensely funny to mock the 85-year old Queen as a bumble bee with a drinking problem...

While the media was focused like a white hot beam on the ME, impinging the ability of America and Israel friendly arab nations to deal with the Iran and proxy inspired Shia uprising, something miraculous happened. G_d opened the earth and brought great catastrophe to another place, diverting the attention away from the ME. Now, with the media scrambling to cover the biggest story in possibly 60 years, the ME friends of Israel and America can effectively deal with the Iranian factions in their kingdoms. It's a miracle for Israel. Not so hot for the rest of us in the...
