With an intensity far greater than that of the former Vermont Governor, Hurricane Dean slammed into Mexico this week. Although there was great destruction, only eight hurricane-related deaths have been reported so far.
The Queen of Mean died this week. No, not Hillary-- Leona Helmsley. This blogger seemed to put her death in perspective quite nicely.
(Former?) Falcons quarterback Michael Vick pled guilty to charges in his dog-fighting case. But there's more 'bad newz' to come-- as gambling charges against him are still pending.
After denying since 2004 that Iraq was like Vietnam, Bush is now comparing Iraq to Vietnam. Is anybody really listening to what he has to say on Iraq anymore?
Putin and Sarkozy both create minor media sensations after doffing their shirts. The French President benefited from a Photoshop-savvy editor who made his love handles disappear. Russia's Putin solved the same problem the low-tech way-- by hiking his pants up to his belly button. All right, George-- it's your turn. Let's see if all that bike riding has done any good.
Lindsay Lohan was charged with only seven misdemeanors this week, in connection with her DUI arrests from May and July. On both occasions, she was found in possession of cocaine and was (supposedly) to have undergone rehab after the first incident. How the L.A. district attorney retains any shred of credibility after this fiasco (Forgot about Paris Hilton already?) is beyond me.
Unfortunately, there's still some fairly slim pickings at the multiplex this weekend. The Daily Dude's best pick for a movie is "Resurrecting the Champ"-- on the plus side, it stars Samuel Jackson; on the negative side, it always stars Josh Hartnett. The documentary "Deep Water"-- about the first solo, non-stop boat race around the world-- could be pretty good, too.
