    Well. It's Friday.
    Amy Winehouse meets Jeremy Clarkson at a party
    "And what do you do Jeremy?" she slurs,
    'Top Gear" he says,
    "Cool, I'll take 3 grams"

    Fnnah fnnah.

    *sigh* Fine, but I'd actually like some sections of the press corps to wipe themselves off and try to remember what they're supposed to be doing.
    Which sections in particular?

    Which sections of the press or which sections to wipe?

    Well, he was unmarried before he got married, which was before he entered the White House. I think it's the four kids with his wife that makes him not gay.

    Well, it would not be the first time someone got married and had children to "prove" they were not gay but I digress. The rumor about Lincoln's sexuality has been around for a while. See this
    New York Times article
    However, as noted in the article, sharing a bed back then was not at all uncommon but what the hey?.

    As I said a while back, when the choice of the First Puppy got more attention than the Secretary of State's confirmation

    Ah, yes, so. Craig, what is the latest on the Presidential Puppy? Is there some kind of media blackout on that? We need to know.

    That. Rocks.

    That should read "Those Rocks" or "That Rock"
    Grammar, Mr Easterbrook, grammar.

    Ah, yes, the Buchanan controversy.
    I will happily admit to him being the first (and the last) US president to not be married and live with a male friend. Anything more than that is just people drawing conclusions.

    Now I'm confused, that is a ship, since when has a ship been president or married for that matter. Anyhoo, Abe Lincoln was unmarried and slept with his best mate in the Whitehouse but, apparently, that don't make him gay. Might make him cheerful though.;-)

  • Obamania, For Real,

    And from the font of all wisdom in our fair land, The Herald,

    As soon as Bush leaves office, the media will start on the new man, first praising him and then rubbishing him, if he puts one foot wrong. Bush will go up in people's esteem. Look at what happened to Kennedy and Clinton. Both were very unpopular presidents who are now seen to be OK. Like him or not, Bush had a character and was not just faceless. That will eventually make him popular. People soon forget the bad times.

    OK, the guy was just a "your v ewes" writer from Switzerland but with such a flaccid grasp of the facts he could be Garth George's or Bill Ralston's replacement.
