Hello

I well it's been a busy summer and I have done absolutely nothing with this blog.
Surprisingly enough Mary has not been bugging me to update....
I hope that doesn't mean that she's stopped checking in.
The point is holidays are over for us at least until September so I will get back at things.
More updates to follow.
I promise.

Wow!

Lewis "Scooter" Libby

Scooter Libby had his prison sentence commuted today, by George Bush, which means he will never serve a day in prison. In case your not familiar with case , Scooter was convicted of lying to the CIA about the Vice Presidents involvement with a leak that exposed an undercover agent. An agent who's husband severely angered the President and the Vice President.

So lets recap



Pairs Hilton - Driving with a suspended license 21 Days



Martha Stewart - Lying to investigators 5 Months



Lewis Libby - Lying to investigators 0 Days



Disgusting, impeach this man before he destroys your country.

Cocaine and the Corn Field

Take one Danish driver add some cocaine and a few policemen.
Put them all in a cornfield and this is what you get.

Rosie O'Donnell

It looks like Rosie is trying to make another statement.
Here is a picture that she posted, of her daughter Vivi, on her blog today.



I think it makes quite a statement.
Even though it's a bit disturbing.
What do you think?

P.S.
Ratings on the view had been dropping like a stone since Rosie left the show.
Interesting.

Paris Hilton Free

Who leaves prison looking like this?
I really can't stand the woman but I have to admit she looks like she left a spa.
Well rested at least.

Paris Hilton - Leaving Jail?

Paris Hilton will probably be out of jail in the next couple of hours.
It seems that the twenty something days she has spent in prison has had a profound effect on her.
She's no longer going to pretend to be dumb and she will use her celebrity status to help others.
Very noble.
Sounds like she found god.



This picture was shamelessly lifted from Pretty On The Outside.

Aurora Borealis

I love this picture, in fact its my new desktop.
It is a beautiful and tranquil picture.
I know nothing about it other than it's the Aurora Borealis taken from space.

What I'm Listening Too

Rihanna - Umbrella

Better late than never.
It took awhile for me to start to appreciate this song, I guess the three hundred times a day I hear it has helped.



Timbaland - The Way I Are

Music only no video yet....



Enrique Iglesias - Do You Know (Ping Pong Song)
My summer song, at least for now.



Fergie - Big Girls Don't Cry

Yes that is Milo Ventimigila from Heroes with a whole bunch of fake tattoos.



Groove Jet - Spiller feat. Sophie Ellis Bextor

Britain's Got Talent - Paul Potts

Last week I posted a clip of six year oldConnie Talbot from the show Britain's Got Talent.
Today I stumbled across a clip of Paul Potts.
Apparently Paul sells cell phones for living in Cardiff and Paul wants to sing Opera.
It's another feel good clip.
There is something about watching a person who has a natural talent and doesn't realize how good they really are.




Now if the American version of this show was done half as well as the original I would probably watch. I think the judges on this version are much more watchable than their American counterparts.
I was also surprised at who well the audience accepted and enjoyed Opera music. I wonder how it would have gone over here in North America.

After doing a bit more research it turns out that the final of the show has already aired.

Any guesses as to who were the finalists?

It's Paul vs. Connie.


First up Paul Potts singing Nessun Dorma.



Second it's Connie Talbot singing Over the rainbow.



Is it just me or didn't you always think that song was called "somewhere over the rainbow"?

And the winner is.....





Paul Potts.

His next performance will be before the Queen.
