Senate Dem Leader Harry Reid has said that he will vote NO on the confirmation of John Roberts to be Chief Justice of the United States. Why would an anti-abort Dem vote no on clearly qualified nominee?

The difference between long term rates, which haven ’ t moved much, and short term rates is severely narrowing. It is now only marginally more for a fixed rate loan than a variable. This difference can ’ t exist for long. Either long term rates must rise, or short fall.

Arrested Development and The U.S. Office picked up right where they left off. If you ’ re not watching either, you ’ re killing them, and poor Uncle Oscar. I ’ ve only seen the pilots, but so far My Name Is Earl and Kitchen Confidential show a lot of promise. None of these shows have laugh tracks, so I only recommend them to those people who are already aware of what they find funny.

My Name Is Earl is a breath of fresh air. It takes the story of some down-in-the-dumps scrub (played by Jason Lee) who happens upon a winning lottery ticket. As luck would have it, he is then hit by a car, loses the ticket, ends up in hospital, and divorces his wife (who has been extra-curricular with the crabman). Sounds like a bad country song. Anywho, after watching Carson Daly talk about karma, he vows to change his life.

Apple Computer Inc. CEO Steve Jobs said Tuesday he would resist music companies ’ “ greedy ” demands for price increases on the itunes music download site and warned that such a move would encourage piracy. Jobs, speaking to reporters before the opening of the Apple Expo in Paris, acknowledged that some record companies were pushing him to raise the price of each song download, currently 99 cents on the U.S. itunes site. Record companies already make more profit by selling a song through itunes than on a CD, with all the associated manufacturing and marketing costs, Jobs said.

Yesterday I saw Jackass the Movie, The Breakfastclub and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. HAHAHAHAH SARUMAN IS WILLY WONKA 'S DAD HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. But Johnny plays him awesome. ♥ Breakfastclub was awesome too. I have a new favourite movie ^ ___ ^ And Jackass was hilarious. I never laugh that much while watching a movie. Before it began, Kim and I were'discussing'who was better/hotter/whatever; Bam Magera or Ryan Dunn. She was pro-bam ofcourse. So then I watched the movies and I found out I totally forgot about Chris Pontius, who is my favourite Jackass. Wooo Chris. But anyway, now I'm pro-bam too. Only because this time he looks hot with his hair. But I still think it's stupid what he does with his dad xo. My jaw hurts.

A CDC fact sheet explains the risks of anal sex. First, "the lining of the rectum is thin and may allow the [HIV] virus to enter the body." Second, "condoms are more likely to break during anal sex than during vaginal sex." These risks don't just apply to HIV. According to the new survey report, the risk of transmission of other sexually transmitted diseases is likewise "higher for anal than for oral sex," and the risk "from oral sex is also believed to be lower than for vaginal intercourse."

Brad Pitt fired a pregnant employee from his production company because she dared speak out on behalf of his estranged wife, Jennifer Aniston. Pitt, 41, was furious that Aniston's pal Kristin Hahn — an exec with Plan B (the film company he and Aniston, 36, founded in 2002) — told Vanity Fair it would be "beyond painful" for the actress to see Pitt and girlfriend Angelina Jolie, 30, have a baby together. An Us Weekly source claims Pitt "screamed" at Hahn, claiming she violated her contract by speaking about him without his approval — although Aniston had given hers. Hahn claims the departure was "amicable."

The Pope has launched this investigation as a belated response to the child abuse scandals the church suffered, but has conveniently decided to blame the whole affair on homosexuals rather than fix the cover-ups and manipulations of the clergy. Since the Roman Catholic church does not advocate reparative therapy, but relies entirely on celibacy, this new development constitutes nothing less than educational and employment discrimination. The investigation also has the tantalizing possibility of becoming the new witch hunts, since individual clergy will be looking for "evidence of homosexuality" at seminaries rather than relying on personal testimony.

Looks like Teri Hatcher was sore about not getting an Emmy Sunday night. Hatcher was beaten out for Best Comedic Actress by her "Desperate Housewives" castmate Felicity Huffman — and then refused to pose with Huffman backstage. "Felicity wanted a picture with all of her co-stars," said our spy, "and everyone [Eva Longoria, Nicolette Sheridan and Marcia Cross] took a picture with her but Teri, who refused." The egos on the set have raged since "Housewives" became a hit. A rep for the show didn't return calls.

And JD Furtune wins the big Rock Star: INXS competition. We've now got a Bluenoser fronting the seminal Aussie band. Woot! Not really a huge surprise mind you, or probably to anyone who's been watching and has even only a passing familiarity of the band's previous works. I've said all along that JD was easily the most obvious drop-in replacement for Michael Hutchence, and the band went with it.

A very dark, twisted comedy by Danny Devito. It's so weird to see Edward Norton as a "nice guy". Roles like Derrick in AMERICAN HISTORY X and FIGHT CLUB are total contrasts to Sheldon. Proof that Robin Williams is truly a mad man.

got to try out this game for ps/2 last night at's, where we'd gathered in hopes of getting a first glimpse at the newly-released "we love katamari damacy," which apparently can not be had until today. but taiko drum master is pretty fun. and i played it once in japan and were completely overwhelmed; but now that we have some idea how it works, playing a version whose interface is in a language we can read seems much easier.songs seem to be comfortingly clustered on the low-difficulty end; which may reduce the replay value for rhythm game experts like, but at least makes it easy to start playing.do not fail to read the instruction booklet. it is entertainingly surreal.

Tom Cruise shouldn't wait by the phone for his old "friend" Steven Spielberg, who directed him in "War of the Worlds," to call. Reports from Budapest and Paris, where Spielberg is filming "Munich," say the director is still steamed at Cruise for ranting, during what were supposed to be promotional appearances for the Martian-invasion film, against the widespread use of Ritalin to treat unruly children diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder. One source said: "Steven and his wife [Kate Capshaw] have five children themselves and know some children for whom Ritalin does a lot of good. They took exception to what Tom said about the drug." Spielberg was also said to be annoyed that Cruise played up Scientology more than the movie during press interviews.

Maurizio Seracini is what Da Vinci Code author Dan Brown calls an "art diagnostician", which is "not a bad description for someone who probes paintings with state-of-the-art-technology, often to advise museums, dealers and collectors on their restoration. One question raised by Mr Seracini's painstaking investigation is why Da Vinci wanted to include such a bloody scene in a nativity painting, and why he - or someone else - thought better of it.

NORFOLK, VA — Saying "Fuck this shit, I'm stopping beating hearts with my bare hands," Justice Antonin Scalia, overlooked for the vacated position of Supreme Court chief justice, went on a spiteful abortion-performing bender over the weekend. "If I'm not going to be permitted a lasting judicial legacy, to hell with law and order," said Scalia, the conservative Reagan appointee who has served on the court since 1986. "I worked my ass off for 20 years, and no one cares. So, who gives a shit? Safe, legal abortions for all. Who wants one?" Scalia added that 2000 presidential candidate Al Gore "totally won that election, any idiot knows that."

Socially, I'm a Libertarian - politically I'm a Democrat. I'm not quite sure what any of that really means any more looking at the sorry state of U.S. politics today, but what I can say is Bill Maher sums up my position on things nicely. I just love the guy - no matter how often I try not to agree with the guy, he's just always SO FUCKING RIGHT: And Tucker Carlson, though a nice guy who tries real hard, can't help being an idiot. I'd seriously vote Bill Maher for president - not because he possesses any "qualities" that make him electable - but simply because he's no bullshit. I could handle a little ineptitude in the White House as long as I knew I was voting for a guy who knows what the fuck he's talking about: Watch the video.

The text, which was approved by Pope Benedict at the end of August, says that

The latest sign that Hurricane Katrina has turned Washington on its head appeared today as House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said she was "willing to return to the federal Treasury $70 million designated for San Francisco projects in the new highway and transportation bill and use the money to help pay for Hurricane Katrina recovery efforts." Thus, Nancy Pelosi, who will never be mistaken for a fiscal conservative, has outflanked Tom Delay to the right while the Majority Leader was busy patting himself on the back this week for eliminating fat and waste in Washington.

: Ford Maddox Ford's The Good Soldier or Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray. Both of those texts express a lot of pain, but more specifically, they express pain with very, very detached narrators. The whimsical meter of the texts really brightens me up, and the beauty of the sad lines reminds me that even my worthlessness is lovely. "We are all so afraid, we are all so alone, we all so need from the outside the assurance of our own worthiness to exist."

Since Adrian is working nights this week, I've stayed up the last two nights watching the BBC miniseries of Pride & Prejudice (again). Wow. Colin Firth as Mr Darcy is perfection itself. I just checked out the website for the new version of the story that is coming out this fall, and although Keira Knightley seems very good, their Darcy seems kind of crappy, especially in comparison. I have decided that the BBC should, therefore, have used Keira for Elizabeth, since I'm not a huge fan of Elizabeth Ehle, and then it would be perfect. Also, if I ruled the universe I would decree that Colin Firth should play Mr Darcy in any production of the novel hereafter.

ARIANNA HUFFINGTON - I'm now hearing that the investigation may be inching closer to never-confirmed UN Ambassador John Bolton. According to two sources, Bolton's former chief of staff, Fred Fleitz, was at least one of the sources of the classified information about Valerie Plame that flowed through the Bush administration and eventually made its way into Bob Novak's now infamous column. After delving into Fleitz, I can safely report that he is, at a minimum, a very interesting character.
