Because sometimes, your intern goes to Miami.

1.SPIKE LEE SHOULD SHUT HIS FACE!!! Clint Eastwood takes a swipe at Spike Lee for accusing his film, Flags of The Fathers, of not including black troops. “Has he ever studied history?” Eastwood asks. Bitch-slapping contest!

2.CLIMBING THE NEW YORK TIMES BUILDING!!! French Climber Alain Robert climbed the 52-story office tower in Midtown Manhattan yesterday, followed by a nutter who just thought it might be a good idea. Go, nutter! You’re amazing!

Hours later, a second man ascended the building – a stunt that drew the attention of thousands of onlookers. TV cameras captured both dramas in real time. Crowds on the street pressed against police barricades to watch, and people clapped and cheered for the climber while snapping pictures on their cell phones.

I’d have loved to have been there. Sadly the cameras only caught the “legitimate” hero:

3.“I just don’t want you settling down with some fucking wanker from a modeling agency!!!” MTV is fined $500,000 by the European Broadcasting regulator for regularly airing foul language during family friendly hours. Sadly, nobody can be fined for running documentaries about Jodie Marsh, from whose mouth the opening quote emanated.

4.ZIMBABWEAN DEMOCRACY!!! Robert Mugabe orders the police to shut down election rallies for the opposition party. Amnesty International has a shit fit. Mugabe shrugs, “who, me?”

5.RUDY FERNANDEZ!!! Will play for the Blazers next season…

Good day.

  1. I like how that’s the actual quote from Clint, “A guy like him should shut his face.” Seems like Spike’s just trying for the publicity of controversy lately.

  2. glad to see Robert Mugabe is still proving he was the correct choice to be voted in to office… in 1980… is anyone still alive from when he was voted in to office? the life expectency is what? 40 or something?

  3. I have been busy collecting information on a crime that is not mentioned. When I mention this crime most people become quite. It is a common crime and an unspoken crime. It is as common as rape. The crime is being deliberatly poisoned. I have started activism in this area. About the cops showing up. They probably won’t because this crime is mostly not talked about and usually is not reported. Myself and two peope that I know have been poisoned. Death was the intention of the perpertrator. Something interfered with the plan and death did not occur. How many deaths that were diagnosed as suicide were actually intentional poisening. If you are interested in talking to two survivors of intentional poisoning stop by 3135 SE Hawthorne 3:00 to 5:00 on a Sunday.Ask for Loren and Ellie. And please if someone said they were poisoned there is a good chance that they may have been. The AMA has very little testing for the many poisons that are circulating.
