In The Chaos Household
Last Night
Bit warmer, gonna get hotter.
Watching CBS network news & the twinkette chirped "...the web has become an echo chamber for disinformation." They then segued into a story about John Kerry handling bullhorn bearing hecklers.
So, how close do you think bullhorn bearing (or poster-toting or even t-shirt wearing) protesters can get to the Chimp?
Not that there're any echoes on what passes for network news...

Contest Searches for Sitcoms
Bravo
If you ever watched an episode of "According to Jim" and said, "Any idiot could do that," well, here's your opportunity to prove it. And then some.
Recognizing that comedy is too important to be left to the professionals, cable's Bravo is inviting couch potatoes to create the next great sitcom.
The two viewer-written scripts judged best will be turned into 15-minute presentations and aired as part of Bravo's forthcoming series "Situation: Comedy," a behind-the-scenes look at the whole sitcom development process. Then its viewers will decide the winner, who gets $25,000 and a year's exclusive representation from the high-powered Creative Artists Agency.
You can get contest details at the Bravo Web site.

Iraqi Government Shuts Station
Al-Jazeera
The Iraqi government closed the Iraqi offices of the Arab television station Al-Jazeera for 30 days, accusing it Saturday of inciting violence.
Interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi said the government convened an independent commission a month ago to monitor Al-Jazeera's daily coverage "to see what kind of violence they are advocating, inciting hatred and problems and racial tension."
Senior U.S. officials also have criticized Al-Jazeera's coverage of the Iraq war, calling the network an outlet for the al-Qaida terror network, broadcasting videotapes and audiotapes purportedly from Osama bin Laden or his aides. Al-Jazeera denied the allegations.

Heartbroken Over Boss' Politics
GOP Governor
Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota said he's "heartbroken" that Bruce Springsteen plans to rock against resident Bush. Opening his weekly radio show Friday with "Born to Run," the 43-year-old Pawlenty called Springsteen one of his musical idols.
"I really appreciate his music, but I wish he wouldn't interject his music with politics," said Pawlenty, co-chairman of Bush's re-election campaign in Minnesota.
GOP Governor
The governor has his own radio show & he begrudges Bruce Springsteen having an opinion? Jeez - we really need to restore the Fairness Doctrine.

Mull Black Crowes Reunion
Robinson Brothers
Speculation is running rampant that Chris and Rich Robinson may reform the Black Crowes, based on meetings the famously feuding brothers recently held with the band's former manager.
In March at the Jammy Awards in New York, the siblings performed together for the first since the Crowes' 2002 split.
If the Crowes reunite, it is unknown which, if any, other former members may jump back on board. Crowes guitarist Audley Freed is now part of Chris Robinson's band New Earth Mud, while Crowes keyboardist Eddie Harsch guests on Rich's upcoming solo debut, "Paper," due Aug. 24 via Key Hole Records. Late-era bassist Andy Hess is now a member of Gov't Mule.

Lost Berth At CGOP, Moving To PBS
'Journal Editorial Report'
Having lost their spot on CNBC in early 2003, the Wall Street Journal's conservative editorial-page chieftains have found a new home for their public affairs roundtable on PBS.
The 30-minute program, "Journal Editorial Report," will be part of the pubcaster's Friday night lineup, airing at 10:30 beginning Sept. 17.
Panel discussion will be hosted by WSJ editorial page topper Paul Gigot, formerly a correspondent on PBS' "The NewsHour With Jim Lehrer." Gigot is known for his right-leaning views but is not strident in his style.
In recent weeks, PBS has come under criticism for turning to the right in its programming, starting with its decision to give conservative CNN commentator Tucker Carlson a new show.

PBS veering right? Just like NPR? I'm shocked, shocked I tell you!

Nearly Sweeps R&B/Hip-Hop Awards
R. Kelly
R. Kelly nearly swept the fourth annual Billboard-AURN R&B/Hip-Hop Awards, winning seven out of the eight categories in which he was a finalist Friday night.
Kelly took home awards for top songwriter, producer, artist, singles artist, male artist, singles and singles airplay for "Step in the Name of Love." The only award for which he was nominated and did not win was top albums artist, which went to Southern hip-hop duo OutKast.
Billboard also honored legendary R&B/soul artist Isaac Hayes and socially conscious hip-hop artist KRS-One with its third annual Founders Awards, given to artists for their achievements and influence in the R&B and hip-hop genres.

Bloviating Bully
Ahnold
Speaking on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said his put-down of Democratic lawmakers last month was blown out of proportion by people who have trouble recognizing a dash of humor.
"Everything is interpreted, you know, attacking gay people and lesbians and all this stuff. I didn't even think about that. It was a joke," he said.
Schwarzenegger, considered a political moderate, is scheduled to deliver a prime-time speech at the Republican National Convention in New York City, but that didn't stop him from lamenting the nasty partisan tone on the presidential campaign trail.
"It's very divisive," he said. "It's really sad in a way. ... I think the country suffers because of it, rather than bringing people together and, you know, being more civil."
Ahnold
Typical republican tactic - open with an insult, then claim it was a joke, followed up by bemoaning the lack of civility.

The Rush Disease
Mindy McCready
Country singer Mindy McCready has been charged with prescription drug fraud after authorities said she used a fake prescription to obtain the pain medicine OxyContin.
Authorities say McCready presented a fraudulent prescription for OxyContin at a pharmacy on Feb. 12, paid for the drugs and then left. Investigators later learned that McCready was not a patient at the doctor's office from which the prescription purportedly originated.

Memorabilia Given To Portsmouth Library
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
One of the world's greatest collections of memorabilia from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was handed over Friday to a library in the English port city where the author once had a medical practice and wrote the first two Sherlock Holmes adventures.
When he died in March, writer and collector Richard Lancelyn Green, left the 20,000-item collection worth the equivalent of about $5 million Cdn to the Portsmouth library service.
Born in Edinburgh, where he studied medicine, Conan Doyle moved later to Portsmouth and then London. While in Portsmouth, he wrote A Study in Scarlet (1887) which introduced the super-observant Holmes and his sidekick Dr. Watson.

Gather for Wedding in Maine
Bush Klan
Three generations of Bushes, including a president and a former president, converged in a small stone church by the sea Saturday to celebrate George Prescott Bush's wedding.
The wedding of resident Bush's nephew to Amanda Williams took place under a sunny late-afternoon sky and a heavy security presence. The resident made the one-minute drive from his family's home at Walker's Point to St. Ann's Episcopal Church in an armored SUV, part of an unusually long motorcade that also ferried the first President Bush, his wife, their children and other relatives.
The indoor ceremony at the church overlooking the ocean lasted less than an hour, and most of the family walked down the road to the reception. Resident Bush skipped it, returning instead to Walker's Point after the wedding.
This fall, George P. Bush will leave his position as an assistant to a federal judge in Dallas to join the Dallas office of Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, where he will work in corporate law. The firm is one of the world's largest and earns millions lobbying in Washington.

Members Exchange Lawsuits
Megadeth
The founding members of 1980s metal band Megadeth have exchanged lawsuits.
Bassist David Ellefson's action, filed July 12 in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleges that co-founding guitarist David Mustaine breached their long-running partnership agreement. He claims Mustaine wrongfully took the lion's share of the band's income (estimated at more than $200 million since 1984) for himself and cut Ellefson out of the band's music publishing and merchandise revenues.
Mustaine's counterclaim, filed July 29 in California Superior Court in L.A., alleges that Ellefson on May 14 executed a settlement agreement in which he gave up his 20% interest in Megadeth. Mustaine maintains that the settlement -- which Ellefson alleges was signed under pressure and ultimately withdrawn -- released Mustaine from all claims.

First In 350 Years
Court Jester
Nigel Roder has beaten six rivals by public acclaim to become England's first official jester for more than 350 years, succeeding Muckle John who lost his job when King Charles 1 was beheaded in 1649.
Unlike court jesters of old, Roder will be able to negotiate his salary, and his initial contract with English Heritage -- to divert the public from the tedious daily grind -- will run from March to October 2005.
Roder -- professional name Kester the Jester -- juggled and diaboloed his way to victory over a diverse field that included a poetry-reading Frenchwoman in the contest near Warwick.

A Russian tennis star has filed a lawsuit against GQ magazine, claiming GQ allowed topless photographs of her to appear in a Russian magazine without her permission.
Anastasia Myskina, winner of this year's French Open, is suing GQ and its photographer, saying she never intended for two photos of her appearing shirtless to be published, her attorney said Saturday. The lawsuit was filed Friday in Manhattan federal court.
The topless pictures were published in the July/August 2004 issue of Medved magazine.
