| Bad Timing Plagues Bill O'Reilly's Attack on Mark Cuban
O'Reilly went on his soapbox on his nightly show on FOX News saying that (video below) Cuban would have been thrown incarcerated if this movie would have been made during World War II. O'Reilly also urged his listeners to boycott the movie and attendees of the Dallas Mavericks, which Cuban owns, home game on Thursday night bring signs reading 'support our troops'. O'Reilly apparently did not do his homework as the Mavericks are hosting 'Texas National Guard “Green Out"' that night in which all attendees will where green t-shirts urging fans to support the troops and a number where they can enlist in the national guard. Here is O'Reilly's ill-timed tirade and a trailer to the new movie 'Redacted'. .
Republicans sing new tune on Iraq for Spanish station
CORAL GABLES, Fla. — Citing a recent decline in violence in Iraq, top Republican presidential candidates on Sunday offered gushing assessments of the U.S. war effort there -- an unusual moment in a GOP primary campaign that for months usually has stepped gingerly around the Bush administration's unpopular policies in that country.
The candidates' comments, coming in a debate on the Spanish-language television network Univision, went further than even the White House and top military leaders have gone as they have watched civilian and military deaths ebb since President Bush launched a controversial U.S. troop "surge" strategy.

You can now forget you ever heard the name Riley Giles. Lindsay Lohan's rehab distraction of a boyfriend has ridden his set of coattails as far as they are going to take him. According to People.com (hi, Suzy!), Lindsay and Riley broke up just after he went home with the starlet for Thanksgiving. "They're over – they've broken up," a source blabbed. "She is concentrating on her life and her career," another pal said. Interestingly enough, Lindsay was out and about the other night with sometimes boy toy and Paris Hilton ex Stavros Niarchos. Hmmm... .
Phoenix ditches $2.4 million public-art project for park
A $2.4 million public art piece chosen by a city-appointed panel for the planned downtown park near Van Buren Street and Central Avenue has been rejected by the Phoenix City Manager's Office despite $104,000 already paid to the artist.
Phoenix Arts and Culture Commission members are angry and wonder if someone in City Hall thinks the proposed piece, which resembles a floating jellyfish, is too unconventional and will reignite a controversy on what makes for proper public art.
Internationally known artist Janet Echelman was chosen by the arts panel in April to create an iconic piece for the 2.77-acre planned Civic Space, part of the downtown Arizona State University campus. The 100-foot-wide piece, which would be made of diaphanous, flexible nets to move with the wind, would rise about 55 feet above the park attached to three towers, the highest being 160 feet.
What Thanksgiving means to me, part 2
Homemade apple (we had our own apple, pear, peach and cherry trees) and mince pies were her dessert specialty. She also made the cranberry sauce. On Thanksgiving Day, Grandma would arrive via train from Paterson and we would pick her up at the DL&W railroad station in Dover. Gasoline was still in short supply then. We all sat down to a beautifully set table, said a prayer led by my father, and enjoyed this feast. The best part was that everything on the table came from our garden or what we secured from hunting. The sad part is that in today's busy atmosphere, this holiday seems to lose much of the meaning. We were very thankful for what we had and did not complain about what we didn't have. I enjoyed joining my dad on many hunting and fishing trips, and received an education from him that cannot be duplicated or replaced.
