bits & pieces here & there...
- highest paid athlete in the world is Tiger Woods at $100 million. no one came even close. cross-dressing(?) oscar dela joya came in 2nd with $43 million.
- former Philippine-president, joseph estrada, who was convicted of plunder, was given executive clemency by a fellow plunderer(?), president gloria macapagal-arroyo. as they say, birds of the same feathers...
- California is now on its 7th day of fury. the inferno that started a week ago has so far caused the state:
- seven people dead
- destroyed 1,800 homes
- displaced 500,000 people
- 410,000 acres burned
- property damage estimated to top $1 billion.
- democratic presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, celebrated her 60th birthday yesterday but didn't get a break from hits from fellow candidates obama, edwards, guilliani, and romney. bring it on, boys! you're all wimps compared to Hillary!
- britney (or SHitney or UNfitney as perezhilton would sometimes call her) continues to self-destruct. the woman is mentally unstable, though not beyond help.
- the press conference that never was... FEMA held a fake "press" briefing to supposedly update the media of the CA wildfire disaster. the problem is, there were no press people around. the questions thrown at the FEMA deputy chief were actually from FEMA employees, and totally scripted. read here the outrageous extent this government agency will go through just to score good points from the public.
- still on the CA wildfire - caused by arson? why???
