Half of This Is True
"I'm going out to let my real talent show, not to just stand there and dance around. Personally, I'd never lip-synch. It's just not me." --Ashlee Simpson, Lucky Magazine
From MTV.com:
"Ashlee Simpson claimed a chronic gastric disorder was the cause of her lip-synching miscue on "Saturday Night Live" this past weekend. The singer said that acid reflux disease caused her to lose her voice and rely on a backing tape for her performance.
[A performance in which she stood and then... danced a jig!]
"It's so embarrassing," Simpson said when she called in to "TRL" Monday (October 25), "because it sucks. The total situation was a bummer.""
Luckily, no one found out that her sister, Jessica, actually uses a stunt double when in bed with Nick Lachey.
"We all do it," Jessica said. "Sometimes you need some help, or Nick's being really annoying and I have a headache."
"It's no big deal, to be honest," Nick replied. "I never sang my own songs. I always used a backing trac... Wait. What did she just say?"
Ashlee's father said it was his decision for Ashlee to lip sync.
"Did you hear her at the VMA's? Her voice sounds like she's blowing a german shepherd up there."
Her father added, "She also isn't nearly as hot as Jessica. I guess we know which child isn't mine."
Britney Spears-Federline, who has also been accused of lip synching in the past, released this statement on her web site about the incident.
"I'm just a girl, not yet a woman. My perogative is just so toxic right now. Hit me baby one more time."
Included with the statement were photos of the luxury trailer she and Kevin plan to live in, and several links to chewing tobacco retailers.
"I'm sooo excited about the new place!" Britney wrote. "It even has a tire swing!"

The Right to Bear Arms, but not T-Shirts?
"Three Oregon teachers were kicked out of a Bush campaign rally late last week and threatened with arrest for wearing this T-shirt: "Protect Our Civil Liberties," reports The Associated Press. The teachers, all of whom were appropriately ticketed for the event and admitted to it, did not say or do anything other than wear the shirt."
In other news, two people were kicked out of a Kerry rally for wearing flip-flops.
When things get really dull, I spend most of my time just reading the news. And as I read, I get the same two messages over and over: WORLD SUCKS--IS GETTING WORSE, and BUSH WIDENS LEAD OVER KERRY.
My mom, although I shudder to say it, was a Bush supporter early in the race. Luckily, common sense and convincing on the part of myself, my dad, sister, and 90% of the world changed her mind. Everyone else should do the same with their "undecided" friends and relatives. I mean, the only defense the Republicans have is... "Well, Kerry said something that I didn't understand." Hey folks, I can understand Charles Manson just fine-- I wouldn't vote for him.
Yeah, I have my issues with Kerry. Why is he against gay marraige again? How did his face get that long? But all things considered, I'll take a flip-flopping, anti-vietnam, golddigging, international veto-loving abortionist lapsed catholic over a president who hasn't read a report since 3rd grade, surrounds himself with yes-men and who extolls the virtues of freedom while denying americans civil rights and supporting Russian president Putin--who all but declared he was going back to communism.
Yikes. I gotta find something to do before my brain eats me. Anyone find any good games online that I can play?

How can anyone be for Bush????
I read that Bush has a four point lead over Kerry: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&e=1&u=/nm/20041015/pl_nm/campaign_poll_friday_dc
My question is: WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?!?!^%#$
Can't they see our country has gone to shit? Aren't they paying any attention?
Firstly, four more years of Bush means 40 more years of DISCRIMINATION AND SEGREGATION.
Right now, we have a 5-4 "liberal"/"conservative"(extremist) balance in the supreme court. But 2 justices are older than my grandparents combined. They remember when John Hancock signed his name on his 7th grade history exam.
They also happen to be the justices most responsible for decisions on civil rights and abortion over the last two decades.
On the court there is a man named Scalia, who would exterminate the entire gay and black population if it were politically advantageous.
Bush wants to appoint TWO MORE SCALIAS.
That would be the end of legal abortion-- even in cases of rape, incest, and situations where the mother could die giving birth. This would be a boon for clotheshanger manufacturers and underqualified mexican doctors, but wouldn't really benefit anyone else.
That would be the end of affirmative action-- and most likely the end of "Equal Opportunity Employers"
That would mean the end to protection of free speech, the end of separation of church and state, the end of rights and priveledges of suspected criminals (which in this day and age, is everybody).
Gay marraige? Outlawed. Hello government-sanctioned discrimination!!!
Corporations will have a field day screwing over the environment and employees. WIthout fear of reprisals.
Don't believe me? Check out who he's appointed to the lower courts. There are more fair minded judges on American Idol.
Yep, four more years of Bush pretty much guarentees 40 more years-- of going backward.
Finally, the four letter word. Iraq. About the only two people in the world that think this war is going well are George Bush and Osama Bin Laden.
Everyday. Every day an American soldier dies. Wait, no, that's not right. Everyday MULTIPLE American soldiers die. And civilians. Is anyone watching the news? Do they think war is supposed to include civilian beheadings on a regular basis?
Two more words: Abu Gharib.
We need help! And Bush has shown he will not reach out to our allies. They in turn, have shown they won't help him. I mean, hes done everything but call the French frogfuckers.
Bush says we have a coalition. Yeah...
In a fight, you want the strongest friends backing you up. Especially when the guy you're fighting is a cheap bastard who throws sand in your face.
So who we got?
We got Hugh, the handsome, well-mannered gentleman who calls the shitter a loo, and Leon, the guy who built a submarine with screen doors. Oh, and we got Jose and a couple of younger kids providing us with spitballs.
These are guys you wouldn't sit with at lunch in the cafeteria, much less go to battle with. We need the whole school on our side, not just the ones we can bully into joining us.
We need Jacques, the rude guy who smokes behind the school and fucks a lot of hot women. We need Hans, the body builder who drives the mercedes and can consume a pound of bratwurst, 10 beers and still kick your ass. We need the UN-- a group of blue-helmeted policemen who, for some reason, really like to create this thing called... oh what is it... oh yeah... PEACE.
But wait, you say. France and Germany said they won't supply troops no matter who wins the election!
READ BETWEEN THE LINES. The German defense minister said he couldn't see it happening "in the IMMEDIATE FUTURE." He didn't rule out "the future." The French and the Germans want a new plan before they're willing to commit. They want to see evidence that we're changing from "More of the Same." In other words-- Kerry.
Hey, maybe Kerry can't bring more allies to the war. But we KNOW BUSH CAN'T. And we know his plan isn't working. He can print up a dozen "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" banners, they won't make that anymore true than it was 1,000 soldiers ago. Freedom is not on the march, our soldiers are, and they're dying.
Make no mistake, our soldiers are heroes-- but we're asking them to risk their lives without telling them how to win. Without adequate support. We're putting them out there on suicide missions. We're asking them to do things that don't work. We've made Iraq into a slaughterhouse, the terrorists the butchers, our soldiers the stock... and we have no plan to get them out of there.
Can this administration ever take responsibility for its actions? If they're re-elected, they'll never have to.
There is no doubt. Four more years of Bush means four more years of Repression, four more years of Struggle, four more years of death, destruction and fear.
Wake up undecideds. There's only one decision.
Move to Canada.
