Okay, the McCartney divorce trial is going to be the show of the century, looks like. Check this latest bit: Allegations McCartney Brutalized Wife Posted Oct 18th 2006 11:44AM by TMZ Staff A London newspaper claims a divorce document filed by Heather Mills, Paul McCartney’s estranged wife, alleges that the former Beatle attacked her during their marriage. The legal papers

Shortly after 5:00 AM EDT, we were rattled from our bed by an earthquake. Gods, it tinkled the china and woke the dog. We don’t get many temblors in this part of the country, so as you can imagine, we’re all right fluttery today. The local paper and TV station were so shaken (as it were) by the event that

Here in the Piedmont Triad we have the usual array of bad radio stations. One of them is 98.7 Simon, a format that plays an “eclectic” mix of music from a variety of genres. In some other markets you have similar concepts calling themselves “Jack.” Since my wife’s car isn’t yet outfitted with satellite (and sadly, doesn’t even have a

The Denver Post‘s Joanne Ostrow takes on Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. And whiffs. So I dashed off a brief note. _______________________________ Wow – are we watching the same show? I’d acknowledge that Studio 60 hasn’t hit its stride quite yet, but it’s a lot better than any number of legendary shows were after only three or four episodes.

I’ve now seen the replay of Hunt’s challenge on Cech several times, and if the FA doesn’t slap him with at least a three-game ban it will be a travesty. Six is more like it. He should have been jumping to clear Cech, but if you see the replay off the end line he actually ducks his knee into Cech’s

There’s a lesson in here somewhere.

Did having one (or six) too many cause you to launch into a foaming rant against [insert minority group of choice here – Jews, blacks, Macacans, etc.]? Does alcohol cause you to say things that have never occurred to you before, or does it cause you to say things you believe but know better than to say out loud? Just

I received an e-mail from a friend today – very smart guy, a former colleague I like and respect a great deal. He was forwarding on a piece from Ben Stein (actually, only part of it was by Stein – someone added some stuff to the end as it made the rounds) and thought it was worthy of passing on.

Can’t decide between being a CNN journalist or the hack who writes the crash, explosion and car chase scenes for direct-to-DVD action movies? The good news is that both careers utilize the same skill set, so you can train for both at the same time! You may have noted the hot breaking item of the day: Yankees pitcher’s plane crashes

Fun at the IABC site. Well, okay, maybe “fun” is a bit strong….

mediastar asks: “Why are (some) white people afraid to be called racist?” I can’t speak for everybody, but there are a number of reasons why this would be a problem for somebody like me. Some other people, replying on the original thread, have already hit on a few of them. Having grown up in a very racist sub-culture, I know

There are five components to a perfect NFL weekend. This weekend nailed them all: Broncos won Panthers won Raiders lost Cowboys lost Redskins lost Okay, so maybe “perfect” isn’t exactly the right word. After all, nobody killed TO…. :xpost:

Which is better – your team winning or the Yankees losing? We may never know. Obviously, your team beating the Yankees is as good as it gets (during baseball season, anyway). For now, though, we’ll just have to settle for the knowledge that in 2006, a $194,663,079 payroll buys you a first-round exit. And $120,099,824, $103,472,000, and $102,750,667 were good
