O.J. Simpson confesses: ‘If I Did It’
This has to be the most perverse case of truth being stranger than fiction. But O.J. Simpson has given a stab by stab account of how he (would have) killed his ex-wife and her friend in the summer of 1994. And it had all cable news channels awash last night with talking heads venting moral… Read more.
Whaling in the Caribbean to save tourism? What rubbish!

Tom Cruise: “Don’t worry Oprah, your invitation’s in the mail…”
It’s not that I’m not going….It’s that they had a limited number of people that they could invite. I was not one of the invitees. That’s fine. [Oprah trying in vain to rationalize why Tom did not invite her to his wedding] Poor Oprah…first Hermes, now Tom: Despite all her power and influence, being denied… Read more.
BREAKING NEWS: Blair finally splits from Bush over Iran! Well, not exactly…
Alas, I’m obliged to complain once again about the shoddy, irresponsible and intentionally-hyped-to-boost-ratings reporting that the mainstream media (MSM) in America routinely broadcasts as news.

Today (11?11 at 11am), take a moment to observe Veterans Day
In America, Veterans Day has become as much about honoring those who risked (and sacrificed) their lives “to defend our freedoms” as Christmas Day has become about celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. (And we all know how politically incorrect it is these days to display nativity scenes or even inscribe the name of Christ… Read more.
CBS reporter Ed Bradley is dead
I’m sure regular readers of this weblog will understand my suspending the “Good (news) Friday” feature, which – following my niece’s request – would have been subtitled “Britney comes to her senses”, to comment on the historically-significant bad news of Ed Bradley’s death.
