Corey Haim: 1971-2010

Corey Haim is dead at 38 of an apparent accidental drug overdose.  Haim is best known for his work in movies, such as Lost Boys, Lucas and License to Drive.  He also appeared in the reality show, The Two Coreys.  This is a loss to the whole world, obviously, but especially to comedy.  The Two Coreys (Haim and friend, Corey Feldman) were regarded by some as Generation X’s Bob Hope and Bing Crosby.

And with the Haimster gone, is there any Hope left?

Live Aid Donations Diverted To Ethiopian Rebels

How Many AK-47s Will This Get Me?

Recently, allegations have been made that millions of dollars raised by Live Aid and intended for famine relief ended up in the hands of Ethiopian rebel groups.   If true, these charges are disappointing, to say the least, if not terribly surprising.

Aregawi Berhe, the former military commander of the Tigrayan People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), claimed that of the $100 million that went through the rebels’ hands, 95 per cent was diverted to buy weapons or recruit Ethiopians to their cause. He said the rebels put on a “drama” to get their hands on the relief money. “The aid workers were fooled,” he said.

Why did it take a quarter of a century for this information to come to light?

In a related matter, Promethean Times is launching an investigation into allegations that Farm Aid donations were illegally channelled to John Deere executives to help fund their bloody and protracted war against Caterpillar.

Because cocaine isn’t cheap.          

Lindsay Lohan, Flower of American Skankhood and tabloid headline regular, claims she’s been dishonored by a recent E-Trade commercial.  Team Lohan maintains that E-Trade used her “likeness, name, characterization and personality” without permission.          

The offending commercial:          

While it’s true that most reasonable people would be horrified to be in any way associated with these E-Trade grotesqueries, it’s not clear that the use of the name “Lindsay” was intended to imply any connection with Ms. Lohan.  The infant in the commercial could be any skank named Lindsay.          

Team Lohan will no doubt respond with the trenchant counter that prior to Ms. Lohan’s use of the name, “Lindsay” was associated with virtue.  Now the name is linked inextricably not only to skanks, but also to sluts, hos, tramps, ladies of easy virtue and the like.  Ms. Lohan will therefore contend that any unflattering or mocking depiction of a “Lindsay” is a direct and intentional use of the former child-star’s image.          

What Might Have Been

Regardless of the lawsuit’s outcome, there are already plenty of losers.   A generation of young women looks up to Lindsay Lohan, and to those women–the skanks of tomorrow–this news will no doubt come as a heavy blow.   But like the spunky strumpet they idolize, this junior varsity Jersey Shore will no doubt face the coming challenges with characteristic élan.  Look for them and you will find them: lifting up their shirts for a stranger’s camera, dressing like hookers to piss off Daddy, and that old chestnut–getting a mammoth, butterfly design tramp stamp which reads CLASSY LASSY.          

Lindsay may be down for the moment, but the Sisterhood of Skank soldiers on.

Biden: An International Attempt To Isolate Israel Right Now

And apparently, the US isn’t part of it.  Does the President know about this?

The Jerusalem Post says:

US VP meets Peres, says “since our administration came to power Iran is more isolated”; stresses “absolutely no space between Israel and US” where Israel’s security is concerned.

Biden’s comments sound good,  but are at odds with the Obama Administration’s undeclared anti-Israel policy.  Given this, are the Vice President’s words a hopeful sign–or just another Biden gaffe?

Decide for yourself: Biden: There is an int’l attempt to isolate Israel right now.
