Queries and Observations

• In a recent interview Britney Spears admitted she had "hit rock bottom." But few people realize that she continued that statement by saying: ". . . two years ago."
• Dr. Jack Kevorkian, a.k.a., Dr. Death, is being released from prison after serving 8 years of a 10-25 year sentence, and I have a few people who I would love to send his way: 1) Paris Hilton--she's not necessarily in agony but the rest of us are in agony because of her, so it's definitely a mercy killing; 2) Barry Bonds--he's been mercilessly hounded by the media about his alleged use of steroids that he needs a way to escape it--I wonder if Dr. K's machine reacts negatively with "soy protein"; 3) the cast of Studio 60--talk about putting one out of their misery; 4) Rudolph Guiliani--he's been slipping in the polls and I think that a mercy killing would be a clever tactic for him to move up in the polls; and 5) Donald Trump and Rosie O'Donnell--see explanation for Paris Hilton.
• The FBI has asked MySpace.com to hand over any information they may have on sexual predators. In an attempt not to sound defensive, MySpace.com responded: "What are you trying to say? Huh? For your information, we do NOT promote that kind of thing . . . we merely foster the perfect tool for accomplishing sexual predation." MySpace, I don't believe you.
• NFL star Michael Vick has been identified as a major player in the underground dogfighting circuit by multiple witnesses. In response to these allegations Vick responded: "Sure I might watch an occasional dogfight. But is casually participating in illegal activity a crime? If so, you might as well arrest me for embezzlement, lewd acts in public, assault with a deadly weapon, robbing a liquor store, identity theft, running an underground dogfighting ring, and possession of drugs--with intent to sell. But you don't see me arrested for those things, do you?" He makes a good point.
  
• Cindy Sheehan, a anti-war protestor whose son died in the war in Iraq, has finally given up her protest. When asked why she quit, she responded: "After seeing how stubborn President Bush is regarding the war, I realized that I should be fighting againgst things that are easier to change. That's why I'm now protesting about which religion is truest, what tooth paste is best, and how much infinity is."
