Strange tales from the covers of the weekly tabloids. For instance either the Globe or the Examiner is claiming to have blown the whistle on Barak Obama's 'shocking life of lies'. Next to a picture of him wearing Islamic head dress - in full Al Qaeda mode - they question whether he's really a Muslim, and claim that he's into sex, drugs, and drinking. I must say that showing him in the head dress, but claiming that he's not really a Muslim is like slapping a man with both sides of your hand! The same edition claims that George Bush has moved out of the White House, and is back on the bottle. As a recovering alcoholic, I'd be surprised if he hadn't relapsed under the strain of running the world. Drunkenness would explain some of his public gaffs!

Another of the rags is claiming that Hillary Clinton has found a loophole that allows Bill to run as her vice Presidential candidate. I can't imagine that putting 'Good Time Bill' on the ticket would help her chances any.

Also Loretta Lynn is supposedly about to come out of the closest. That's no shocker since country music is packed with lesbians; every one from K.D. Laing, to Dolly Parton ( her other life as been an open secret for years). I guess that no one even has to ask about the "Pippy Longstocking" of the Opry", Reba McIntyre. It's what made Canada's Shania Twain such a refreshing change in the industry.

The World Weekly News is heading it's front page with the tale of a "red neck Vampire" who is terrorizing a trailer park. Now the poor fella doesn't have all his fangs, but he can still give folks a mighty fierce gumming! A possible role for Kevin Federline? It's B Movie material if ever there was B Movie material!

Something that is substantiated is Spider Man Tobey McGuire's relationship with better half Jennifer Meyer. Jenn's is always described as a 29 year old jewelery designer from New York City. Now everyone thinks it's so great that Spidey's seeing a down to earth normal person, instead of some actress. What isn't usually said is that Jenn's dad, Ron Meyer, is the head of Universal Studios! There's a good woman behind every successful man, and it doesn't hurt to date the boss's daughter. Smart boy, that Tobey, and oh how the money rolls in!

Wondertrash thoughts for the day:

When kindness has left people, even for a few moments, we become afraid of them as if their reason had left them. When it has left a place where we have always found it, it is like shipwreck; we drop from security into something malevolent and bottomless.
Willa Cather
(1873-1947)

Happiness is not a horse, you cannot harness it.
-- Russian Proverb

The greatest happiness you can have is knowing that you do not necessarily require happiness.
-- William Saroyan
