A QUESTIONABLE DISPLAY IN HOLLYWOOD

This is a front yard in Hollywood, California. There’s something very unsettling about this hanging effigy of Sarah Palin. It smacks of sexism and worse. John McCain is featured in flames at the top of the house. What kind of people occupy this home? More important, what has this woman done to deserve such incredible hatred? So WHAT if we don’t agree with her! Can’t we voters support our own candidates without belittling others? This effigy is an insult to decent Obama supporters everywhere. MUST we turn into a nation of fanatical haters? It’s just another election.

DISH THE CANDIDATES

Readers have suggested that we designate a particular place for political comments. Too many comments about candidates are being posted in unrelated areas. So if you have something to say about the election, please do it HERE. As much as we appreciate the new political enthusiasm, we ARE concerned about our terribly divided country. Get it off your chest – just try to be smart, relevant, and …GOSSIPY!

IT'S NICE TO HAVE OPRAH ON YOUR SIDE

When Oprah Winfrey said that Barack Obama’s acceptance speech was “the most powerful thing I’ve ever experienced” she meant it. She wanted to give him an exceptional gift suitable for a presidential candidate and she turned to a private dealer who specialized in historical items. Price didn’t matter and Oprah found the perfect gift for Barack – she gave him a rare and highly collectible fountain pen that belonged to JFK.

BARACK OBAMA AND SARAH PALIN ARE THE REAL CONTENDERS

You’d think these two people were the only ones running for office. They’re all anyone wants to talk about. Sarah Palin is getting an inordinate amount of publicity – mostly negative, it appears. We’ve never heard rants like this woman gets and doubt if it could happen to a man. Since so many readers seem to want to vent about these people and they keep leaving comments under unrelated items, we are now giving you the opportunity to get it out of your system. All we ask is for relevance and respect.

JOHN MAYER: WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES

Usually John Mayer wallows in glare of flashbulbs, but he’s in no mood here. Apparently he is NOT on his way to an Obama rally. Our readers know that the wearing of hoods is NOT allowed at any Obama events. No doubt Mayer is avoiding the press because he doesn’t want to talk about Jennifer Aniston. It was just a matter of time before Jen would tire of his boyish antics with women and call it off. Hopefully Mayer is NOT brooding over the rumor that Jen is dating model Matt Felker – THAT is 100% untrue. They don’t even know each other.

KANYE WEST CARRIES ON WITHOUT BARACK OBAMA

Kanye West made quite a splash at his home town – Chicago – at the Lollapalooza Music Festival in Grant Park last weekend. Here he is being driven around, wrapped in his white hood in spite of warm weather. A rumor circulated that Barack Obama would introduce Kanye, but that prove not to be true. He was still a big hit and dedicated his performance to his mother ” who drove me to Chicago at age three.”

BARACK OBAMA SAYS ABSOLUTELY NO HOODS ALLOWED!

Here’s a first. At least as far as we know. When Barack Obama has a big rally like the recent one in Fort Worth, not only is every audience member carefully screened for weapons or contraband, but they are STRICTLY FORBIDDEN to wear anything with a HOOD! Apparently the possibility of an attempted assassination is very real and a clear camera view of everyone’s face in the crowd is essential for security. It makes sense, but fashion-wise, who would have guessed that the sensible hood would someday become sinister?

OPRAH IS SHARING HER BEAUTY SECRETS WITH BARACK OBAMA

Is Oprah surreptitiously giving Barack Obama a mini-makeover? She’s doing everything she can to make him appealing to voters – and that includes turning him on to her longtime hairdresser Andre Walker.. Walker is responsible for Oprah’s much admired parade of hairstyles through the years. Oprah sent Barack to Andre for color and cut. Walker is reportedly “minimizing” Barack’s gray hair – which is odd because some people complain that he’s too young to be president.
