Welcome to The Now

Now that the types of beers everyone had has been revealed, the beer companies can take full advantage (like their not thinking about it). They could make tags like: Bud Light : The beer for Change. Buckler's : It'll get ya talkin'...whether you wanted to or not. Sam Adams Light : A Light Beer for a Light Sentence. Blue Moon : An arresting flavor that won't let you go.

So far, it looks like what I'm expecting from Stephen Sommer.

Good advice . Right-wing claims of Obama being an alcoholic in 3, 2, 1 ... I guess the reason I haven't seen Jude Law so much is because he's been, err, busy . Oink . So that's how they overcame the Red Sox "curse!"

One day, while watching Clueless with friends, Lindsay Lohan said, "I wanna be just like that girl, and I'll do whatever it takes." I'm sure her friends though she meant Alicia Silverstone, but sadly, Lohan was referring to Silverstone's character Cher Horowitz. Only, it hasn't worked out so well .

Then : “Other than being friends and two actors who were romantically intertwined in a movie-for-television we filmed last fall, there is no truth to the reporting initiated by Us Magazine. It is a fabricated story that is using random snapshots as connective tissue to create a scandalous relationship.” Now : LeAnn Rimes has been separated from her husband of seven years, Dean Sheremet, a source close to the couple tells Usmagazine.com. "They have been separated for awhile, but are still trying to work on how to handle the problems they are having," the source tells Us. "They are leading separate lives and not staying together most of the time, but still in each others' lives as best friends," "They are still not divorcing yet, but are working through things and taking time apart -- as they have been -- while they figure things out," the source continues. The split announcement comes the same week the new issue of Us Weekly confirms that Rimes is stil...

Right ? “I obviously helped to contribute ratcheting it up, I wanted to make clear that in my choice of words, I think, I unfortunately, I think, gave an impression that I was maligning the Cambridge Police Department or Sergeant Crowley specifically,” Mr. Obama told reporters. “I could have calibrated those words differently, and I told this to Sergeant Crowley.” I'm sure for every person who sees this as a weakness, there will a person who says, "How many times did Bush admit a mistake?"

A two-year corruption and international money-laundering investigation stretching from the Jersey Shore to Brooklyn to Israel and Switzerland culminated in charges against 44 people on Thursday, including three New Jersey mayors, two state assemblymen and five rabbis, the authorities said. The case began with bank fraud charges against a member of an insular Syrian Jewish enclave centered in a seaside town. But when that man became a federal informant and posed as a crooked real estate developer offering cash bribes to obtain government approvals, it mushroomed into a political scandal that could rival any of the most explosive and sleazy episodes in New Jersey’s recent past. It was replete with tales of the illegal sales of body parts; of furtive negotiations in diners, parking lots and boiler rooms; of nervous jokes about “patting down” a man who turned out to indeed be an informant; and, again and again, of the passing of cash —...

US Senate says "no" to making more F-22s . Although this will "cost jobs," it will save tax payers money. And let's give credit where credit is due: The decision was a key policy victory for Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates, who has been campaigning against the plane since April as a centerpiece of his effort to "fundamentally reshape the priorities of America's defense establishment and reform the way the Pentagon does business -- in particular, the weapons we buy and how we buy them," as he put it in a Chicago speech last Thursday. Gates had depicted the F-22, which was conceived in the 1980s, as a "silver bullet solution" to a high-technology aerial warfare threat that has not materialized. He said other warplanes will adequately defend the country for decades to come, and won support from the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Air Force's two senior leaders. But his view was strongly opposed by others in the Air Force ...

Why we need health care reform (I'd prefer to get CongressCare) and the economy to recover ASAP : Some pharmacists have reported that patients have changed the way they take medications because of the downturn in the economy, according to a recent survey by the American Pharmacists Association. This includes skipping doses and splitting tablets in an effort to save money. Regarding the practice of splitting tablets, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the American Medical Association, and other medical organizations advise against it unless it's specified in the drug's labeling. Tablet splitting often involves buying higher strength tablets and then breaking the tablets in half or quarter doses as a way to lower drug costs. For instance, a 30 mg tablet may cost the same amount as the 15 mg tablet. So a patient may try to save money by buying the 30 mg tablets and splitting them all in half. This might seem like a smart money-saving strategy, but the practice can be ris...

I thought they'd broken up. I prayed that they would stay broken up. But nooooooooooo ; they just have to keep running into each other. My reasons for them not being together is rather selfish; Ronson just looks too much like Rachel Maddow to me and I'm going to state (with no proof mind you) that Maddow had the look first and she should have the rights, meaning that Ronson should either change her looks (not gonna happen) or fade back into Underground DJ Land. Because really, it's hard to watch the Rachel Maddow show nowadays and not think, "When is she going to tell Lindsay to just back the hell off?" Don't get me wrong; the girl is talented (somewhat) but she is like a horny squirrel : fucking nuts . Also: This isn't isolated...I felt the same way about Helen Hunt and Leelee Sobieski before... damnit !

What didn't the Bush Twins due while Dad was in Office ? Couple of thoughts on other tidbits from that story: I think all ex-presidents should have some kind of protection for at least five years after office. Not for life, but just long enough for people to leave them alone. Some may frown at Obama beefing up Cheney's security, but if any guy needs to be protected, from his haters, it's this guy. Most people just thought Bush was dumb, but a lot of people hate Dick Cheney. Hate him. The story does show that as wild as they were, they eventually calmed down. And unlike McCain and Cheney's kids, they have enough sense to not go online and on TV yapping it up like they were elected officials.

"Why do you want to be a Supreme Court justice?" -- Sen. Al Franken , asking the question that many other Senators should have asked Judge Sotomayor. Runner-Up : "He's raised it so many times.

I just have to say, from a cultural/regional standpoint, you rarely hear about this happening in an urban town in the north or at the coasts: TEXARKANA, Ark. — More women are scheduled to take the stand Thursday to accuse jailed evangelist Tony Alamo of taking them as underage brides. A woman who said she married Alamo at 17 will start the day's testimony. Prosecutors said her words will bolster claims that Alamo took underage girls across state lines for sex between 1994 and 2005. On Wednesday, a 30-year-old woman told jurors the evangelist "married" her at age 15 and took her on road trips through different states. [snip] The woman said she was a third-generation Alamo follower into adulthood — until the Arkansas-based pastor took an 8-year-old as his latest bride. At one point, the woman said, she objected when Alamo graphically described how he fondled the girl as she held a stuffed animal. "He told me to shut up and that I shouldn't question what `the Lord ...

It's cute how they completely skip over the part of developing a philosophy of human progress and just want to steal the word, without necessarily having it mean anything. Wingnuts are silly. This goes back to my general thesis about how right-wingers parse language. Definitions and meanings are absolutely nothing to them - they don't even cognitively process what a word means. All they understand is if the language sounds positive or negative to their ears. The truth-value of all declarative statements is determined solely by matching positives to positives and negatives to negatives. For example, low taxes (good) is liberty (good) and Barack Obama (bad) is a terrorist (bad) . When we start saying things like single-payer health care (= socialism, therefore bad) helps small business (good) they look at us like we just told them 2 + 2 = 5. It violates their simplistic method of language analysis, and therefore makes no "sense" to them . Essentially their understanding...

By Jove, I think they got it : July 15 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama may rely only on Democrats to push health-care legislation through the U.S. Congress if Republican resistance doesn’t eventually give way, two of the president’s top advisers said. “Ultimately, this is not about a process, it’s about results,” David Axelrod , Obama’s senior political strategist, said during an interview yesterday in his White House office. “If we’re going to get this thing done, obviously time is a- wasting.” Both Axelrod and White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel said taking a partisan route to enacting major health-care legislation isn’t the president’s preferred choice. Yet in separate interviews, each man left that option open. “We’d like to do it with the votes of members of both parties,” Axelrod said. “But the worst result would be to not get health-care reform done.” While I don't expect Obama to come right out and say exactly what Emanuel and Axelrod have said, I'm glad to ...

Because I don't fully understand environmental issues, don't believe in personal sacrifice and my Big Oil backers don't want to be regulated, I'm opposing Cap and Trade . P.S.: This is the only part of the Op Ed I believe Palin wrote herself, with no help whatsoever: We must move in a new direction. We are ripe for economic growth and energy independence if we responsibly tap the resources that God created right underfoot on American soil. So God created oil for us to use for cars, homes and missiles, but the Sun and wind are products of that evil science. Gotcha.

Because it doesn't involve explosions, boobs and political satire, a story like this will never be mainstream or even adapted to a movie (I hope I'm wrong). Senators try to pretend that Supreme Court hearing will have little impact on America's internal race relations. If this doesn't get Obama into investigate mode , I guess we'll have to wait for the " Cheney created Time Machine, tried to alter entire Universe " story to break.

Because science has inconveniently declined to back-up any of their fantasies, science has been completely discounted. According to Pew Research only six percent of scientists consider themselves Republicans. Think about that. Sarah Palin didn't do that. It took decades of work to reach this point even if it wasn't until the last eight years that we truly saw the national ignorance weaponized by complete Republican control. Only three percent of blacks voted for McCain, a number similar to what Bush the Younger received. That didn't happen overnight. A higher percentage of Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 than Democrats. But years of bitching about social programs that benefitted a community just emerging from the yoke of Jim Crow drove blacks away from the Party of Lincoln. In this decade it has been bitching about hispanic immigration that has driven Latinos away in droves. There are 535 elected members of Congress (plus a few delegates), but the...

I also thought the movie would benefit from having at least four GLs ( Hal Jordan , Kyle Rayner , John Stewart and Guy Gardner ) as opposed to just one, but whatever.

Normally, I would find someone like Levi Johnston to be as newsworthy as Meagan McCain or Liz Cheney (which is to say, "not newsworthy"). But every now and then such pseudo-celebrities, such "right-place, right-timers" manage (purely by association) to add some substance to a story that is considered by most (or at least the papers) to be newsworthy. This is one of those times . ANCHORAGE, Alaska – The former fiance of Gov. Sarah Palin's 18-year-old daughter says he thinks he knows why the Alaska governor is resigning — concerns over money. Levi Johnston, 19, whose wedding to Bristol Palin was called off earlier this year, says he believes the governor is resigning over personal finances. Johnston says he lived with the Palin family from early December to the second week in January. He claims he heard the governor several times say how nice it would be to take advantage of the lucrative deals that were being offered, including a reality show and a book. "I ...

Not surprising, really . WASHINGTON — At his inauguration in January, President Obama warned that times would get tougher before they got better. He has been proved correct. With unemployment already at 9.5 percent and likely to exceed 10 percent, much higher than White House officials predicted back in February, Mr. Obama has been facing attacks that his $787 billion stimulus program was either too timid or wrong-headed or both. Now, just five months after Congress agreed on the plan, with only a fraction of the money actually out the door, Washington is debating the need for a second round of stimulus amid economic and political crosscurrents. Of course, this goes back to critics (like Paul Krugman) who claimed that the stimulus package was too small and that trying to cater to GOP votes (which weren't going to matter in the long term anyway) over stabilizing the economy could be politically expensive. Mr. Stewart, you have anything to add? The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Mon - ...

Proof that as long as a company puts something in a package and writes, "Buy this, it's cool and good for you!" people will pay for it, and worry about the consequences later : Consumers know less about the water they pay dearly for in bottles than what they can drink almost for free from the tap because the two are regulated differently, congressional investigators and nonprofit researchers say in new reports. Both the Government Accountability Office and the Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit research andadvocacy organization, recommend in reports released Wednesday that bottled water be labeled with the same level of information municipal water providers must disclose. The researchers urged Americans to make bottled water "a distant second choice" to filtered tap water because there isn't enough information about bottled water. The working group recommends purifying tap water with a commercial filter, however.

Some 56 percent of them cited micro-miniskirts as their chief complaint , while 51 percent objected to excessive cleavage.

Some Republican strategists insist that resignation has its virtues. Mary Matalin told the New York Times that Palin's " brilliant " move will free her to camp out alongside Mitt Romney on the campaign trail. Certainly, we can all relish the next two years of watching the Romney and Palin broods go five-on-five across the heartland. But Romney himself is proof that quitting is no way to win. In 2006, he passed up a second term so he could campaign full-time in Iowa and New Hampshire. He lost them both . -- Bruce Reed of Slate.com .
