south carolina...can't you do anything right?

republican SC senator, jim demint, said this about the obama administration's health care plan:

"if we’re able to stop obama on this, [health care reform] it will be his waterloo. it will break him..."

oopsies.

break him? is jim demint the emperor from star wars?

Barack responded with his desire for bipartisan cooperation:

"this isn’t about me. this isn’t about politics. this is about a health care system that is breaking america’s families, breaking america’s businesses, and breaking america’s economy. and we can’t afford the politics of delay and defeat when it comes to health care, not this time, not now."

looks like jim creme demint broke himself.

looks like frank gehry got himself laid off again...

Dutch design firm West 8 will replace world-renowned architect Frank Gehry on a Miami Beach park project, the final component of the massive New World Symphony complex now under construction. The firm was selected from a dozen applicants for the $13 million park project and ratified by the Miami Beach Commission in a 6-1 vote Wednesday. (via)

beastie boy adam "mca" yauch" has cancer

Adam "MCA" Yauch of Beastie Boys was diagnosed last week as having a cancerous tumor in his left parotid (salivary) gland. Luckily it was caught early and is localized in one area, and as such is considered very treatable. It will however require surgery and several weeks of additional treatment. Fortunately the cancer is not in a location that will affect Yauch's vocal chords.

Beastie Boys have canceled all upcoming concert appearances to allow time for Yauch's surgery and recovery. (via)

how to find a husband...

on facebook!!

Kelly Hildebrandt decided to look up her own name on Facebook last year, just to see if anyone else shared it with her. Lo and behold, someone did; a young man she thought was pretty cute.

Long story short, Kelly Girl (the couple differentiates by referring to themselves as "Kelly Boy" and "Kelly Girl") sent Kelly Boy a message, and the two started talking. The talking turned into dating, and the two eventually fell in love. Now, the couple is getting married. (via)

thx g.

someone saw prince wearing a really hot outfit on an airplane:

"PRINCE on a first-class flight from Minneapolis to La Guardia, reading Elle magazine, carrying a gold- and diamond-encrusted walking stick and wearing flip-flops with sparkly silver socks." (via)

completely necessary

there's a new app available for iphones and b-berries that tells you where to stand on the subway platform to be closest to the exit at your arrival station. i think it's worth a try. at least it would give you something to do while standing on the subway platform. that is, if it works underground...

nymag has come up with some other interesting ideas for iphone apps.

it's DjV's BeArThDaY!!!!

i don't believe you believe it

rachel maddow and pat buchanan got into it the other day about sonia sotomayor and affirmative action. he basically calls sotomayor stupid and bad for the country and says that he believes the reason 99.5% of the supreme court has historically been white males is the same reason that the olympic track team is mostly black... theyre just better at it. gulp. i wonder what sarah palin thinks. dont worry, the liberal lesbian lets him have it.
