There are a lot of bad people on this earth, but the most recent Scum of the Earth award goes to Joran Van der Sloot.  The laundry list of his horrendous actions is long.  He was arrested twice in connection with the disappearance of American Natalee Holloway, was recently being investigated for trying to extort money from Holloway's mother to tell her where her daughter's remains are, and now has been arrested for the murder of Peruvian Stephany Flores.  Reports have said that Van der Sloot became enraged with Flores was going through his computer, and may have found some information on Holloway, which resulted in her getting beaten very badly and suffering a broken neck.

Getty ImagesGetty ImagesIt is all beyond baffling.  First, who in the world would marry Rush Limbaugh?  The unbelievable answer is four.  You'd think the second wife would have gotten the hint.  Second, what is his newly fourth wife, Kathryn Rogers thinking?  The answer is she must not think too much.  Most importantly, however, is why Elton John, why?  Why would you sing at Rush Limbaugh's wedding?  You don't need the reported $1 million dollars he paid you, and the man represents everything you're against.  You sold your soul, and sold it to Rush Limbaugh.  It doesn't make much sense.

I’ve been angry with AT & T for some time now, so was happy to see that more Smart data phones will now be available on pre-paid phone plans. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, it has to be a really good phone plan before I’ll sign my life away for two-years ever again just for the privilege of using a phone carrier’s service.

Miss USAMiss USA

A pretty girl wins a beauty pageant and people are up in arms.  One has to love the madness of America.  24-year-old, Rima Fakih, of Michigan won Donald's Trump's Miss USA pageant last night, and sure enough the critics were out in full force today.  Fakih is a Lebanese immigrant, and may be one of the first Arab-Americans to win the contest, and the feat should be celebrated.  It is a great showcase of diversity, and overrides the majority of negative stereotypes of the Arab world, especially with the anti-immigrant stance of so many in our country right now, but some feel the need to criticize.

"Change You Can Sink Your Teeth Into!""Change You Can Sink Your Teeth Into!"Twilight lovers, prepare to vote! A self-proclaimed “vampire” from Florida is running for president. While it looks like the guy doesn’t sparkle, he is totally serious about becoming the first vampire president in U.S. history. He also claims he’s a direct descendent of Vlad the Impaler, or Dracula.

Jonathan “The Impaler” Sharkey is 45, engaged to a 19-year-old who believes she, too, is a vampire, and is the same age as his own daughter. You’d think a vampire would be a liberal, but the previously-registered Independent is planning on running on the Republican ticket for 2012.

Jack BauerJack BauerReel life is where Jack Bauer lives, real life is where we are, and where effective counter-terrorism agents  work. Of course I like to watch Jack Bauer do this thing on TV, as the series nears its finale, Jack is off the hook -- doing what he does at his most Bauerist. A democracy doesn't need Jack Bauers to be safe. It needs the work of members of the security services whom don't go "off the hook," but who go about their work developing investigations that net and nab suspected terrorists.

Tiger Woods  was forced him to withdraw from last weekend's the Players Championship, and now he has dropped out of play, altogether, due to a serious neck injury. A MRI is scheduled later this week. Fans like myself are disappointed, but a neck injury is something ones play around with.  When asked about his future, Mr. Woods told the press, “ A lot of that’s still up in the air right now. It’s not a place where I wanted it to be, no doubt. “I want to practice. I want to play. I want to compete. But this is not allowing me to do the things that I need to do.’’
