unless he went two days in a row, Michael Jackson was at the museums YESTERDAY, not this morning.
Checking into hospital for "exhaustion" sounds suspiciously like a desperate plea for publicity for someone that hasn't been funny and/or relevant in two years.
Where are the bloggers insisting that Dumfries be stripped of their voting rights? After all, their Mayor is apparently a male madam.
What? Oh, it's only DC that must lose voting rights based on crappy local government.
Sorry. I thought we were all full American citizens, equal in rights and responsibilities.
My mistake.
I wonder if he imported any hos from Skaggsville.
If only Dave Chappelle was a WH press correspondent.
Hell, if only Dave Chappelle was WH Press Secretary! David Chappelle: Mouth of Sauron. Has a nice ring to it.
Mars, bitches!

Here's a mugshot of one of the unsavory fellows.
