HARRY, THE PREVIOUSLY GAY PENGUIN, SHOWN HERE WITH HIS NEW MATE, LINDA
Just like Hollywood deaths, apparently celebrity breakups also come in threes. First there was the breakup of Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson. Then Richard Jefferson and his cheerleader. Now, the world’s most famous gay animal couple has split up. Apparently one of them has gone straight.
Harry and Pepper are penguins at the San Francisco Zoo. They received fawning media coverage for being a “same-sex couple.” The birds were touted as a model for gay marriage in California. Even the San Francisco Business Times was gooey over the fact that the chick the two male birds was raising this season “was by far the fattest and happiest” at the zoo.
Well, no more. Harry has left Pepper. For a girl penguin no less. The media coverage of the birdie brakup has been INSANE. The San Francisco Chronicle is portraying Harry’s new chick as a homewrecker. Meanwhile, the Examiner news article of the event portrays Harry’s new mate as a scheming, slut of a penguin who “stole” him away from Pepper. It’s a MUST READ.
The new website Mediaite.com taunts the media for its coverage of this story with a “Great Moments in Journalism” dig.

A federal judge on Friday dismissed insider trading charges against Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban.
There is plenty of evidence that Cuban did nothing wrong and that the charges against him were motivated by politics and a personal feud between the NBA owner and and an SEC official named Jeffrey Norris.

CROCS ON LAST LEGS
July 17, 2009 by Mike Responts
Crocs, those colorful clogs that were trendy for awhile, may be no more. The company sold 100 million pairs of shoes in seven years but lost $185 million last year. Crocs recently laid off 2,000 workers.
The Washington Post quotes a financial expert who says, “The company’s toast.”
PRESIDENT BUSH PHOTOGRAPED WEARING CROCS
The company has until the end of September to pay off its millions and millions of dollars in debt. If not, they will go out of business.
CROCS WERE ONCE FEATURED ON BILL MAHER’S “NEW RULES” WHEN HE SAID, “STOP WEARING PLASTIC SHOES.”
MORALISING MISSISSIPPI CONGRESSMAN HAD SEX WITH HIS MISTRESS IN A CHURCH

CHIP PICKERING
Yet another politician from the infamous Washington D.C. house on “C Street” is now involved in a sex scandal. The wife of former U.S. Congressman Chip Pickering says the Mississippi Republican cheated on her and the affair ruined his marriage and political career.
Leisha Pickering is actually suing her husband’s mistress for “Alienation of Affection.” In her lawsuit, Pickering implies that her husband had sex at the Christian “C Street” residence which is actually classified as a “church.”
Like cheating, adulterous politicians John Ensign and Mark Sanford before him, Pickering was a member of a Christian leadership group called “The Family.” Also like Sanford and Ensign, Pickering lived at The Family’s “C Street” residence.
Pickering’s only significant piece of legislation was to introduce a resolution naming 2008 as ”The Year of the Bible.” That’s right, the Congessman who inspired The Year of the Bible actually had adulterous sex in a church.
If you’re not familiar with Pickering’s worthless political career, you may remember him from his movie stint. Pickering briefly appeared in the movie “Borat.” You’ll recall, he was the congressman at the Pentecostal meeting where people laid hands on Sacha Baron Cohen and spoke in tongues. Pickering’s on-camera appearance consisted of denouncing the theory of evolution.
Pickering left Congress last year. He is now a lobbyist.

WHO’S THE GREATEST RECEIVER IN NFL HISTORY? ANDRE RISON SAYS IT’S ANDRE RISON

ANDRE RISON
Who is the greatest wide receiver in the history of pro football? Virtually everybody would say it’s Jerry Rice.
Not Andre Rison. The Kansas City Chiefs fan website “Red Zone” interviewed Rison, the former NFL receiver, recently. Randy Covitz of the site says Rison “is still delusional” about his career.
Rison says HE is “the best receiver ever to play the game.” Rison says Rice simply has the “stats.” He also implied some type of conspiracy saying the highlights of his career don’t get shown because, “I don’t own NFL Films.”
Rison was a very good receiver. He made five Pro Bowls and caught 743 passes for 84 touchdowns. However, he will never make the Hall of Fame. Rison was known more for his off-field antics than anything he ever did on it. Rison was bounced to seven teams. He is also most known for having his rapper girlfriend, Lisa “Left Eye” Lopez, burning his Atlanta mansion down in a jealous rage. THAT, not any catch, was the defining moment of Rison’s career.
NFL FILMS HAS CONSPIRED TO KEEP ANDRE RISON DOWN

IRONY: JASON WHITLOCK QUESTIONS THE SIZE OF SOMEONE’S ASS

SERENA WILLIAMS’ ASS
Saying “God didn’t make cookie cutters,” tennis player Serena Williams has come out to defend herself against a blistering column written by Jason Whitlock last week. Despite winning three of the last for majors in womens tennis and owning 11 Grand Slam titles, Williams found herself on the wrong end of Whitlock’s keyboard.
Whitlock is one of the most entertaining columnists in America. Usually his columns are intelligent, insightful and well-reasoned.
However, the portly one is drawing fire for his most recent column. In his Fox Sports piece, Whitlock claims that Williams could be the greatest tennis player of all-time but she would “rather eat, half-ass her way through non-major tournaments and complain.”
Whitlock says Williams needs “a little less butt and a smidgen more guts.” Whitlock also calls Williams “an underachiever” who lacks courage. He contends that with harder work, Serena Williams “would easily be as big as Michael Jackson, dwarf Tiger Woods and take a run at Rosa Parks.” Whitlock also says Williams could be “Michael Jordan, Jim Brown and Muhammad Ali rolled into one” and “when she’s in shape, she’s every bit as sexy as Beyonce.”
Realising the hypocrisy of his criticizing anyone’s chubbiness, Whitlock concludes his article by saying weight is stopping Serena Williams from “fulfilling her destiny.” Meanwhile, as a sportswriter, Whitlock writes that by being “plump and lazy” himself, he IS actually fulfilling his destiny.
Whitlock also writes, “Big Booty Women-do not write me angry e-mails…”
Yeah, good luck with that.
