That didn't last as long as some of Elvis's binges.

Have any of these "stars" ever heard of "dating?" Maybe "going steady?"

Come on people, lets push a tax cut that actually helps the middle class!

A simple new tax cut idea that is much better than Bush and the Republican's tax cut. Cut out the taxes on the first $20,000 earned by everybody. Think of the money you will save, and that EVERYONE will save, not just the very wealthy. Also, since companies have to match payroll taxes, they will save money and this could save jobs now. The vast majority of money will go to working people and the middle class, who will be likely to spend it, helping our economy.

How much would a tax cut like this cost? Exactly the same amount the tax that Bush wants to give permanently to the rich. Just do away with his tax that favors the rich (that means incredibly wealthy), and institute this one. Instead of hundreds, most people will save thousands of dollars. Why settle for that little $600 rebate check Bush sent you so that the VERY rich can save hundreds of thousands if not millions?

Trickle down economics has never worked, and it will not work now. Demand a tax cut that will help the everyday people. If you earn $80,000 a year, think of the first 3 months without any taxes for federal income, social security and Medicare. Would you rather have that money or your little $600 rebate from Bush. If we don't get a change, the difference between the two amounts is going into the pockets of the rich! Do you think they need it more than you?

Rea d the story and make up your mind. Then call your elected representative. Make them change the tax cut to help people who need it.

Crack whore seen in court with Bobby Brown.

Whitney Houston's appearance in court did not help Bobby Brown. Brown's lawyers argued that since he had evaded prosecution for so long witnesses memories would be unreliable, and so charges should be dropped. No I am not making that up.

[Attorney Xavier] Dicks tried to convince Judge Purdom that too much time had passed since Brown's initial arrest.

"Who knows what witnesses really remember, what they remember is probably what they're told to remember," Dicks said.

The judge wasn't buying that, nor any old Bobby or Whitney CDs. Brown is still out on bail.

Hiker who was shot by hunter does not want charges filed.

Rachel Ferguson was hiking the Appalachian trail last Sunday with a group from Venture Scouts, a Boy Scouts of America sponsored program. Matthew Bryant was hunting in the area, and fired at movement in the woods. The movement turned out to be Ferguson looking for a place to relieve herself, so to speak. She is still in the hospital with a bullet resting against her collar bone.

Union Sheriff Scott Stephens said Bryant had hunted previously, but had "limited" hunting experience.

Bryant has not said what made him mistake the girl, dressed in jeans and a gray sweatshirt, for a deer. However, he has asked several time about how many points her rack had.

Bryant did stop and render first aid and CPR, which is why Fergusen does not want charges pressed against him. There also will be very little scaring where Bryant tried to field dress her with a cheap pocket knife.
