Heard on the radio (well technically it was a podcast of a radio show but I digress) that that the Hilton's were withdrawing their financial support of the Mcainster because he was portraying Paris in a negative light.

Oooh ... that's a burn. (The Hilton thing, anyways)

I'm really not sure what to make of the impact of this thing other than as a "Legally Blonde" remake.

However, it would have been sweet if they used Paris to say "at least I know the difference between a Shia, a Sunni, and the hole in my ass."

Also, it looks like the "tire gauge" part of Obama's energy plan is working.

Weakening demand has been bringing down gas prices for the last three weeks, according to the AAA.

It also looks like ethanol is also helping to drag prices down (although the market may not yet have realized its energy exchange rate with gasoline).

I believe that energy experts are also coming out to say the efficiency improvements alone in the Obama plan delivers more effective supply increase than does offshore drilling.

In other words, reality is yet again proving Obama right and McCain wrong.

gotta say it, paris was pretty good in this :) saw it on anderson cooper last night and it genuinely made me laugh...props to her. i think she perfectly helps point out how ridiculous the stories have been lately.

All I could think was "who the hell sunbathes in heels?"

I love this.

This reminds me of a story I heard once. Paraphrasing of course. A reporter was interviewing Paris and he says she was doing the usual Paris/ditz thing. Then he asked her what she thought of people who underestimated her because of the way she acted. He said her whole face changed and he felt like he was suddenly staring into the eyes of a predator like a big cat and she said "I know exactly what I'm doing".

I think this video is great (as people may have noticed by my facebook status). It highlights the fact that there is a compromise on all of this, while also providing great political satire.

Of course Paris Hilton isn't an idiot, but she realizes how much money playing one can be.

Recent IM chat between Paris and John McSame..

really clever
