No More Snow.
So Snow-job officially announced that he would be resigning as White House Press Secretary on September 14th. According to the AP story:
Snow, ailing with cancer, had said recently he would leave before the end of Bush's presidency. The father of three children, Snow said he needs to make more than his White House salary of $168,000. He could earn far more money on the speechmaking circuit.The 52-year-old Snow was a conservative pundit and syndicated talk-show host on Fox News Radio before he was named press secretary on April 26, 2006. He is the latest in a string of White House officials to head for the exits.
Something just seems rotten about that. You’d think Bush Co. would make him an offer or at least take care of their own. I guess that goes to show that it doesn’t matter who is in the position as long as they are loyal to the Bush regime and are willing to be the target of daggers and spears.
That’s three press secretaries the Bush Administration has gone through; Ari Fleischer, Scott McClellan and now Tony Snow. Let’s see if replacement Dana Perino can go the distance. She’s only 35-years old, but I bet by December 2008 she is going to look 135.

Did I mention that my new laptop has a webcam? Not that I have a need for that sort of thing.
But it does help me keep tabs on my Lionel Luthor progress.
Now all I need is a billion dollars and ruthless attitude. Baby steps man, baby steps.
Off to conduct interviews, laters.
Take note.
Say what you will about Microsoft, but MS OneNote 2007 is one of the most useful programs I have used in a long time. I can keep all of my school notes, news story ideas and blog post ideas in one place, jump between them all, scribble on them, insert screen grabs from the internet and do a world of other things all under the veil of one program and in one interface.
Consider me hooked.
Pr0n.

Looks like somebody is about to have a threesome.
News Reel
Owen Wilson Hospitalized
Apparently Owen Wilson tried to kill himself, possibly due to a recent break-up from Kate Hudson (though that is still under speculation). From ExtraTV.com:
On Sunday afternoon, police got a frantic 911 call from his Santa Monica home.Reports say he slit his wrists and took an undetermined number of pills.
Paramedics first took him to a nearby hospital, then rushed him by ambulance to L.A.’s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where friends and family are rallying around him today.
Reports say his brothers and parents were seen entering the hospital.
Owen’s medical drama unfolded just hours after his ex Kate Hudson and her reported new beau, comedian Dax Shepard, were spotted kissing at a grocery store in nearby Pacific Palisades.
You know that would really piss me off if someone as cool as Owen Wilson offed himself at the height of his career for that one-note spawn of Goldie Hawn, Miss Kate Hudson. Sure she’s cute and all but come on, this is freaking Hansel here. If anyone was slummin’ here it was Wilson.
Hail Dorothy…

…the wicked witch is dead. Alberto Gonzales resigns under a cloud of controversy and investigation. Funny how they constantly asserted that he would not resign, right before he resigned. Even though he is resigning, I guarantee Bush Co. will stand by their position that he did nothing wrong during the attorney firings and/or the Ashcroft hospital ambush.
Let’s see how long it will take them to say: “Mr. Gonzales just wants to spend more time with his family.”
Yeah, he’d better spend some time with them because he may not get to see them for 10-20. So long Gonzo, and thanks for all of the memories, or lack thereof.

Quote of the Day.
From Warren Ellis’ The Sunday Hangover:
I couldn’t give a fuck how many soldiers they send to serve with the United Nations — if Canada wants to impress me, it needs to saw off the French bit and float it out of the Cabot Strait and into the North Atlantic. Let’s see how long those shiteaters last when they only have each other to sneer at.
Amen.
Sunday Wisdom.
Note to self: Never watch Eraserhead after a long day and right before you go to bed. Possible side-effects include horrible surrealistic nightmares that you can’t wake up from coupled with a slight feeling of unease when you awake and the general notion that something just isn’t right.
Oye ve.
Enjoy your Sunday, I’m going to SeaWorld.
Fox Attacks: IRAN
Robert Greenwald, creator of Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price, Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch’s War on Journalism and Iraq For Sale: The War Profiteers, has a new crusade to prevent Fox News from sounding the drums of war against Iran just as they did with Iraq. When Fox News beat the war drums for Iraq other news media, wanting to stay in the media rat-race, fell into lockstep behind them and marched right along. The media holds some responsibility for where we are right now in Iraq.
Greenwald’s message is simple: Let’s not repeat the same mistake.
His company, Brave New Films, has set up a website to send an open letter to the other networks telling them not follow Fox’s lead in sounding the alarm to attack Iran.
Don’t believe the Fox noise machine. Sign it, I did.

I ordered some things for school two nights ago and chose free shipping because I need to save cash. They gave me an estimated arrival date of Sept. 4th – Sept. 17th. The package hit
