From the 2 examples I saw, there was good reason why a donor was needed, I can't see how anyone would be willing to do the deed naturally.
That poor child will be born with a hankering for Krispy Kremes.
I didn't know that being pregnant made you go outside without your pants.
Faced with a $300 million budget hole, Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick is hoping people in this already heavily taxed city won't mind forking over a few extra cents for their Big Macs and Whoppers.
Kilpatrick wants to ask Detroit voters to approve a 2 percent fast-food tax - on top of the 6 percent state sales tax on restaurant meals. The mayor says consumers will barely notice the extra cents at the cash register, but critics say the tax would unfairly burden the poor and hamper economic development.
"Just tell him we're going to go to Bloomfield Hills to McDonald's if he puts a tax on it," said 18-year-old Ebony Ellis, referring to an affluent Detroit suburb, as she and four friends ate at a Golden Arches in Detroit. The high school classmates eat at McDonald's every day after school because their schedule doesn't leave them time for lunch.

And just how is "fast food" defined? Besides the obvious chains like Wendy's and White Castle, officials have mentioned takeout pizza places and Detroit's ubiquitous chili dog restaurants known as Coney Islands. It's uncertain, however, where Starbucks or the corner deli would fall.
The administration says it is still working on a definition.story ---
Kabbalah devotees might want to brace themselves for some less than spiritual news. Radar, the soon to be re-launched magazine, is preparing an “explosive exposé” of the trendy religion whose members include Madonna, Britney Spears, and Ashton Kutcher, according to a well-placed source. The article is said to include inside info on the movement’s finances and the personal habits of some of the group’s leaders. Editor Maer Roshan confirmed to The Scoop that a Kabbalah piece is in the works, but declined to comment further. . . . Don’t be surprised if some disgruntled ex-staffers file a lawsuit against The National Enquirer. . .

You're math's wrong. 2.5 cm to an inch.
I get 1.64 inches. Is that correct? If so, that's not much of an improvement over 1.61 inches (but every little bit helps, presumably).
Hi, E! I think she's right. 2.54cm/1 inch x 4.1cm =1.61 inches. Now we know where the phrase "Napoleon Complex" really came from.
The phrase "Napoleon Complex" reminds me of a young lawyer with whom I worked about 10 years ago. He was about 5'4", fresh out of law school. He was very impressed by the fact that he had graduated from law school and, especially, that he passed the state bar exam. He wore what he actually called "power suits," that is, suits with really big shoulders (we used to joke that he couldn't walk down the hall without brushing against the walls), and drove a Lincoln Mark VII. He'd go to bars at Happy Hour and pass out business cards. I'll give him credit, though, he's one of the (many) reasons I left the practice of law.
If I were really mean, I'd link to the firm's website, so you all could see for yourselves!
Perhaps Napoleon suffered from Wellington Envy.
I was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt (grin).

You know, I could see David Lee Roth wearing a get-up like that.
Maybe if we live long enough we'll get a chance to see Bill and Hill in this get up:
Former fundraiser producer Aaron Tonken, is shown during an interview in a prison in Taft, Calif., Thursday, April 21, 2005. Tonken talked about the involvement of David Rosen, former finance director for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and an organizer in the 'The Hollywood Gala Salute to President William Jefferson Clinton' in Los Angeles. A federal trial is scheduled to begin in Los Angeles Tuesday, May 10, 2005, in which Rosen faces charges he knowingly filed false reports that understated the costs for the event. Tonken, who is imprisoned on an unrelated matter, produced the 2000 star-studded tribute. (AP Photo/Reed Saxon)
It will be interesting to see whether the Rosen/Tonken/Peter Paul matters will affect Her Royal Heineyness' presidential aspirations at all. Given the way the Clintons have wriggled out of other scandals pretty much unscathed, I'm not holding my breath.
Arianna Huffington's buzzed-about blog, "The Huffington Post," has finally launched - and some of the early feedback isn't good. Huffington's starting lineup includes Mike Nichols, Larry David, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Walter Cronkite and Tina Brown - but noticeably absent are David Geffen and Warren Beatty, who have been touted as contributors.
"Despite the blog's prelaunch hype that he would be a charter member, Geffen never had any intention of blogging on Arianna's site," reports the L.A. Weekly's Nikki Finke. "Moreover, sources tell me that Geffen's people had to quietly tell Huffington to stop using his name as bait in her less-than-successful effort to fund the blog with Hollywood money."
Still, conservative-turned-liberal Huffington has found support in an unlikely corners. "Unlike a lot of observers, though, I don't think Arianna's going to fail," writes right-wing columnist Michelle Malkin. "Arianna is very good at what she does, which is to collect people like curios and throw sprawling house parties for them."
Arianna, take that as a compliment. Rush & Molloy

OPENLY gay U.S. Rep.Barney Frank got caught blatantly fondling an up-and-coming politician's buttocks at a public event. According to gay weekly the Washington Blade, the frisky Frank was escorting rising gay politico Mike Evans into the VIP section at Philadelphia's Equality Forum when he boldly seized the opportunity to cop a feel from the younger man. The tush-grabbery was caught by alert photogs covering the event, and the pictures soon surfaced on the Internet. A rep for Frank, who is in a relationship with his domestic partner, Sergio Pombo, declined PAGE SIX's request for comment. (Page Six)
I think this one has a chance of making it, after all they are both from Texas (unlike the Julia Roberts-Lyle Lovett) fiasco.
