That thing called the flesh caugh up with me this week hence the four going on five days postless. If I was one of the X-men, I'd want my super power to be the ability to go days without sleeping. Unfortunately, I don't have that gift and the pillow and I have done some much needed bonding this week. So much so that I missed some great turning points in the state America. I jest.

John Edwards Bows Out of the Race
But when will Al Sharpton? He is such a joke of Reverend it's not even funny. So it is clear that John Kerry will get the Democratic nomination. But will he beat Bush? Absolutely not. There are even some Democrats who will be voting for Bush. Kerry's just no contest lest, Pat Robertson should shame the name of God. (smile)

Omarosa gets fired by "the Donald" on the Apprentice
Just goes to show, don't piss off your teammates, and don't be a rude jerk all the time. I still stand on my previous thoughts regarding her being a victim of clever editing. But it was her time to go. The exposure she's received in all this is a much better reward than getting locked into a fishy deal to run one of Donald's companies. Somebody's going to be the "Clay Aiken" of this competition.

Martha Stewart, Guilty on All Counts
Well Hot Dog! I stand corrected. Now let's see what happens from here. Sad to say, above all the insider trading stuff, there is a principle of sowing and reaping at work here. Martha wasn't guilty of lying about what she did (okay maybe yes), but the truth of the matter is, she was guilty of being a first-class jerk. There is nothing that she did that hasn't been done numerous times by other CEO's. That doesn't necessarily make it right, but it certainly seems unfair for her to be called to the carpet right? Absolutely not. It has long been known that the person of Martha Stewart is shrewd, rude, and downright belligerant. Up until now, no one could argue that her method of rising to the top (crushing the heads of those under and around her) was wrong. Unfortunately, the sow/reap principle applies to everyone and Martha is getting her due.

Passion Still Tops Box Office
"Shakin' the haters off", Gibson's movie remains number one and even suprises analysts to only slip 39% in box office sales in its second week. That is unheard of in the industry. Don't doubt, Hollywood is angry. Production and distribution companies that turned this offer down are wallowing in self-pity right about now. It is inevitable that self-pity will turn into conniving back-stabbing. So be it. You can't deny he brilliancy of it all. The Bible is the top selling book of all time.
