British pop singer George Michael was arrested over the weekend after crashing his car into a London store, police confirmed Tuesday.
The 47-year-old singer was reportedly traveling back from a gay pride march in central London when his Range Rover crashed into a North London branch of British photo developing store Snappy Snaps, in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Interesting. He didn't only play, he took a shot at other artists who canceled their shows. I guess he won't be playing the Oscars any time, soon. But I don't think this hurts him given his likely older audience demographics.
Recent cancellations by the Pixies and Elvis Costello, who cited Israeli government policies, have added to Israel's growing sense of isolation.
John swiped at those artists, saying, "We do not cherry-pick our consciences," before hitting the opening chords of his 1972 hit "Crocodile Rock."
BREAKING — OBAMA, BIDEN DECLARE “RECOVERY SUMMER”: Vice President Biden today will kick off “Recovery Summer,” a six-week-long push designed to highlight the jobs accompanying a surge in stimulus-funded projects to improve highways, parks, drinking water and other public works.
Okay, not your stereotypical raghead. But, .... Never dug the hair but the music is tough to beat. Naive to the point of being child-like, perhaps - but Marley led an interesting life. Hard to imagine him working in a DuPont chemical plant, or for Chrysler, but he did.
"I don't have prejudice against meself. My father was a white and my mother was black. Them call me half-caste or whatever. Me don't dip on nobody's side. Me don't dip on the black man's side nor the white man's side. Me dip on God's side, the one who create me and cause me to come from black and white." Although Marley recognized his mixed ancestry, throughout his life and because of his beliefs, he self-identified as a black African.
In 1966, Marley married Rita Anderson, and moved near his mother's residence in Wilmington, Delaware in the United States for a short time, during which he worked as a DuPont lab assistant and on the assembly line at a Chrysler plant, under the alias Donald Marley
The spread of melanoma to his lungs and brain caused his death. His final words to his son Ziggy were "Money can't buy life."
Update: I should add, it's actually No woman, nuh cry - nuh said to be the equivalent of don't. So, I believe No woman, don't cry would be the literal interpretation.
Seriously, this is only the latest of his scumbag acts. Why doesn't he simply stay in the UK, where he's generally found keeping the tabloids busy with his marital and custody woes. The guy just has no class at all. It's simply hype and PR. He's revealed himself too many times for the media to continue making excuses for him.
McCartney ended the evening taking a baseless cheap shot at former President George W. Bush.
“After the last eight years, it’s great to have a President who knows what a library is,” McCartney quipped.
Politico serves up an unrefined mess of slop from somewhere. But when did the dark side of anything go out of vogue on the Left? From the 1960's on, they've always been about not fearing the darker side of things, because there was no dark, as in demeaning, not color, but simply different. I'm telling you, Leftism today is becoming old-fashioned and even archaic in tone.
Tea partiers also have echoes of a well-known grass-roots movement of the 1950s and ’60s — the John Birch Society. The JBS organized in upper-middle-class neighborhoods and among business groups for anti-Communist and conservative causes.
In tone and substance, tea partiers even sound like the JBS did. When they claim that a moderate American president is a “Communist,” it recalls the old JBS attacks on “Communist” President Dwight Eisenhower.
The basic mathematical equation is simple: a new driver, in other words a teenager, plus a license, in addition to a car, equals a possibility of an accident. When attempting to solve this problem, to produce a different sum, a mathematician should take in account every strategy such as elimination, substitution, and basic addition. Managing every variable in the equation carefully and concisely will lead to a more favorable result -- lower teenage automobile accident rates.
Okay, look. I was torn between high and way for the headline. But I refuse to embed a John Denver clip, even if he has a place - like if you're in the hospital and recovering from something. But I'm going with Joe Walsh's Rocky Mountain Way for a music clip - below. Besides, I caught that tour and the tune rawks! heh! Not so much as regards Colorado for the Democrats this year. One-mile high and sinking fast, or should that be eight? The Democrats do seem to be for The Byrds, this year.
When Barack Obama stood before an admiring audience at Mile High Stadium here and accepted his presidential nomination 21 months ago, Democratic leaders crowed about turning Colorado into a reliable stronghold, another step toward building the party’s strength in the West.
Those dreams of expansion have given way to hopes for survival.
Republicans are now well positioned for a statewide resurgence, threatening several Democratic seats in the midterm elections and raising questions about whether the opening chapter of the Obama administration has eroded gains that Democrats had been making here for the previous six years.
Dumb move. When Republicans are rewarded for doing their job, being Republicans, you have a problem. Nest feathering may be fine for a bird who still believes it rules the roost. Unfortunately, today, the droppings from the flock tend to rain on such insider parades in ugly ways.
Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas) is being rewarded for sticking with Republicans in the Senate.
