Darn
Paris Hilton and former beauty queen Shanna Moakler both filed police reports alleging battery after they fought in a night club. Damn, and I had Tara Reid in this week’s “Cat Fight with Paris Hilton” pool.

Ode to Old Guy

No teeth

Sure thing
John Kerry announced he is feeling what you have to feel to run for President again; you know that that means: his wife, Teresa, increased his allowance again.

Why?
