Talk about a pick me up after the Coronation.

The former president, who ruled France for 12 years until 2007, was taken to hospital in Paris where he was treated as an outpatient and sent home, VSD magazine reported.

Mrs Chirac said: 'The dog went for him for no apparent reason.

'We were already aware the animal was unpredictable and is actually being treated with pills for depression.

'My husband was bitten quite badly, but he is certain to make a full recovery over the coming weeks.'

The former French First Lady did not reveal where on his body Chirac was bitten.

The pet, named after the Japanese form of wrestling, was a gift to the Chiracs from their grandson Martin.

My wife always tells me that dogs can detect bad people. Maybe this is an example.

Mmmmmm cheese fries. 

I thought it was time to post something fantastic to take our minds off how utterly fucked we are.  Thus I present these



I saw these described as Russian hooker shoes and I totally agree!  Of course, I think they meant that as a criticism.  Pfffft.  No.  Come on, wouldn't you spill all the nuclear codes to Svetlana were she wearing only these and matching earrings?  I thought so.

Oh and I do believe that some pretty girl is also needed - btw this is proof that sometimes a girl doesn't have to been in lingerie and wearing thigh high boots while holding a gun to be hot.  Though that certainly doesn't hurt.

Oh and note that when you clicky more on my posts?  THERE'S A PRETTY GIRL NOT CLOWNS.  Ahem.


more...

Namely, a stab wound.

A man who was stabbed at the York Hotel Saturday night opted to return to the bar to finish his beer rather than seek medical attention.

Police responded to 10401 96 St. hotel just after 9 p.m. with reports that a man had been stabbed.

When they arrived, they found the victim at his table drinking beer.

 Nice to see she is handling herself well.

But determined to carry on boozing, she crawled around the restaurant on all fours and apparently tried to take drinks from under diners' noses.

The troubled 25-year-old singer, who is battling her addiction to drugs, is said then to have begged other holidaymakers to buy her wine which she could take back to her room.

Francis Slay, the Mayor of The City of St. Louis, is pushing for a plan to  eliminate parking meter fees near Downtown restauraunts during happy hour.

Downtown parking meters currently run until 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. Weiss said he's losing business to city's {sic}such a {sic} Clayton that ends {sic} meter parking at 4 p.m.

"Frankly, we are at a competitive disadvantage downtown," he said.

...

Slay said a person who recently received two parking tickets emailed him, saying he would be more inclined to bring friends downtown to shop and eat if they didn't have to worry about plugging a meter.

On his blog, Mayor Slay wrote, "I don't see why my correspondent shouldn't be able to have a beer, eat some wings, and buy a new hat without worrying about feeding a meter for an hour or two."

Such a move would take money from paid parking lots and bring it to area businesses, according to John Slaughter, a downtown resident.

"I think more people will come down because it would be better than parking in the parking lots giving all the money to them and you would get more business downtown, that's how I feel," Slaughter said.

I apologize for the subpar writing of my local media.

Wow. It looks like the daughter of the guy who owns the NY Jets gets around.

"Casey {Johnson}had a fight one night with her current girlfriend," heavily tattooed Lisa Marie Alvarez, a Los Angeles source, told Page Six. "Casey went to Courtenay's house, and Courtenay proceeded to beat the crap out of her, and then she lit her hair on fire. Casey had to be hospitalized." Casey's mother, Sale Johnson, reportedly flew to LA and consulted with lawyer Robert Shapiro. No one returned calls except Courtenay, whose father Terry Semel ran Yahoo for years. Casey — who isn't speaking to her father, or her aunt, Libet Johnson — is the mother of an adopted girl from Kazakhstan

 Especially after she slams The Fairness Doctrine, Katie Couric, and anyone else in her way.

If there's anything that demonstrates the straying of the Democratic Party leadership from basic liberal principles, it's this blasted Fairness Doctrine -- which should be fiercely opposed by all defenders of free speech. Except when national security is at risk, government should never be involved in the surveillance of speech or in measuring the ideological content of books, movies or radio and TV programs.

Broadcasters must adhere to reasonable FCC regulations restricting obscenity, but despite the outlandish claims of Democrats like Sen. Charles Schumer, there is no analogy whatever between pornography and political opinion. Nor do privately owned radio stations have any obligation to be politically "balanced." They are commercial enterprises that follow the market and directly respond to audience demand. The Fairness Doctrine is bullying Big Brother tyranny, full of contempt for the very public it pretends to protect.

I mean, who wouldn't love to hear a judge act like this English one?

Esther Cunningham drank brandy before appearing as a solicitor to represent her cousin in a dangerous dog case.

She told an usher to 'f*** off' and called the CPS lawyer 'a f***wit', the Solicitors' Disciplinary Tribunal heard.

Six months later, the 54-year-old was drunk when she taught students on a legal course, the tribunal heard.

Cunningham, of Grantham, Lincolnshire, accepted she had a drink problem and blamed it on personal problems.

I don't know which party he belongs to (and at this point in the day, I honestly can't be bothered to look it up) but this guy is good people:

North Dakota law allows limited sales of locally produced beer and wine. A Minot legislator wants to give the same rights to people who want to make hard liquor.

Rep. Dan Ruby's proposal establishes a new "farm distillery" license for North Dakotans who want to make whiskey, vodka or any other grain-based spirit.

God bless you, sir!

Some old lady in Fresno found a rare baseball card. How rare? Try 139 years old.

"I didn't even know baseball existed that far back," Gallego says, between puffs on her cigarette. "I don't think that I've ever been to a baseball game."

Spooked with all the questions she was getting on eBay, she picked up the phone at 9:30 that night and called her good friend George Huddleston and asked his opinion.

"I never make phone calls after 8 o'clock at night," Gallego says. "My mother taught me never to do things like that."

Huddleston's answer was simple: End the auction now. Figure out what you have and what it's worth before selling it. Her husband, Al, agreed: "Get this thing off the Internet."

So the next morning -- with no bids yet on the card -- she canceled the auction. She wanted to find out more about the card.

Huddleston directed Gallego to a friend who would know what to do: Rick Mirigian, a local concert promoter and card trader who sold a rare basketball card in 2004 for $62,100.

In the meantime, Gallego didn't want the card to get lost, so she put it in a sandwich bag and push-pinned it to her laundry room wall.

"If it fell off the wall, the cat would have ate it," Gallego says. "Well, or the dog."

When she met with Mirigian, she found out what the card was -- an 1869 advertisement with a picture of the first professional baseball team, the Cincinnati Red Stockings.

"When I came to meet her and she took it out of a sandwich Baggie and she was smoking a cigarette, I almost fainted," Mirigian says.

"They've uncovered a piece of history that few people will ever be able to imagine or comprehend. And it comes out of Fresno," he says. "That card is history. It's like unearthing a Mona Lisa or a Picasso."

Namely, grant Oktoberfest cultural significance protection.

According to the association, the traditional Bavarian beer bash on the Wiesn apparently has the same influence on culture as World Heritage Sites like the pyramids of Giza, the Taj Mahal or Stonehenge, and they want it to be recognized as a cultural monument under UNESCO protection, DSB revealed at their annual meeting in Berlin this week, though they aren't likely to go far UNESCO has said.

“At the moment the Oktoberfest has no reasonable chance to get on the list,” UNESCO spokesperson Dieter Offenhäußer told The Local on Tuesday.

Bastard.
