"Get us a suite with fireplaces. I will still try making s'mores!": Michelle Malkin's hydrophobic about the Libyan desert dictator's plan to go camping at Englewood, New Jersey while in country for a UN speech. Campgrounds are a bit thin on the ground there, so he was planning to pitch his tent at a Libyan government compound there. Now the Daily News says the plan's off.
If Republicans were still in charge, they'd have saved him: Terry Schiavo's father has died.
When the Last Lion wouldn't sleep with the lamb: Richard Nixon proposed universal health care in 1971. Ted Kennedy opposed it.
The boy who cried "Sex!": Anaconda's got a promo up for a major sex scandal the Luv Guv's known about six weeks and done nothing about (what was he supposed to do? Fly back to Argentina?) Prurient readers will be hoping there's more to it than the black hole he trotted out at the end of January. Then it was a blackmail scandal against a high government official.
For the whole nonstory, which lasted about a week, see here, and here.
You'd think they'd have volunteers lining up around the block: In Maine, where Opposite Marriage is under threat by enactment of the democratically-elected legislature and approval by the democratically-enacted governor, a new TV ad campaign's in the offing:
Casting Director James Stiles is putting out the word that he’s looking for two “real Maine” women to appear in a television ad produced by supporters of traditional marriage.
Stiles is looking for a “teacher type” and a “working waitress type,” both in the 35-45 age range. If you want to try out, he’s holding auditions from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday (Sept. 2) at the Howard Johnson in South Portland.
If you’re hired, it’s a three day gig that pays $500 a day.
(Casting, as everybody knows, is notoriously difficult. Getting Will right for Will & Grace, for example, culminated in a decision to pass over actor John Barrowman, who is, in fact, gay, for actor Eric McCormack, who isn't. Barrowman, the producers decided, "seemed too straight.")
Lashing money around ($1500 to stand around and look hateful for three days?) seems to be the hallmark of the Opposite Marriage campaign. A Portland Press-Herald columnist wonders why the Catholic Church in Maine is closing five parish churches "because of shrinking congregations, growing costs to maintain the buildings and the need to protect religious programs and services from ever-increasing parish deficits" while the Bishop of Portland continues living alone in a six bedroom, 6900 square-foot mansion with a tax-value of $1.126m- and while raising money for the equal marriage rights repeal campaign.
