Washington is still dithering in the wake of Goth rocker Ozzy Osbourne, whose dark star rose above the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner on Saturday night to fixate press and politicians alike.

Can I be the first to call Matt Drudge a liar?
Do any of us really believe that Lynne Cheney would blurt out any of those reported remarks?

Mrs. Cheney was "embarrassed" over the fact that Washington's power elite rose on its hind legs to laud Mr. Osbourne,...

What's ol Ronnie been doing lately.The albums he had done with Black Sabbath were kick ass.After he left,Jim Dandy of Black Oak Arkansas was considered a likely replacement.That would have been interesting.
