Barbara Walters Reveals Past Affair With Pee-Wee Herman

CHICAGO, IL (IWR News Satire) - Barbara Walters, who co-hosts ABC's The View, revealed during the Oprah Winfrey Show that she had an affair in the 1980s with the movie star legend Pee-Wee Herman. Walters, who discussed her memoir Audition on the show, described herself as "completely infatuated" with Herman, a famous movie actor, according to representatives for Walters and Winfrey. Walters and Herman both believed public knowledge of their affair would ruin their careers and ended after Pee-Wee lost his bid for an academy award for Pee-Wee's Big Adventure in 1986, AP said. Herman declined to comment by phone to the AP.

Poll: More Disapprove of Bush than any other President

As if there were any doubts, Bush is the worst president in history.

CNN Senior Political Analyst Bill Schneider adds, "He is more unpopular than Richard Nixon was just before he resigned from the presidency in August 1974."

President Nixon's disapproval rating in August 1974 stood at 66 percent.

The poll also indicates that support for the war in Iraq has never been lower. Thirty percent of those questioned favored the war, while 68 percent opposed it.

"Americans are growing more pessimistic about the war," Holland said. "In January, nearly half believed that things were going well for the U.S. in Iraq; now that figure has dropped to 39 percent."

Mr. Obama and Rev. Wright

I think the NY Times analysis of this situation is right on target about the double standard being applied to Obama, while McCain and conservatives never have to answer for their loony religious supporters.

It is an injustice, a legacy of the racist threads of this nation’s history, but prominent African-Americans are regularly called upon to explain or repudiate what other black Americans have to say, while white public figures are rarely, if ever, handed that burden.

Senator John McCain has continued to embrace a prominent white supporter, Pastor John Hagee, whose bigotry matches that of Mr. Wright. Mr. McCain has not tried hard enough to stop a race-baiting commercial — complete with video of Mr. Wright — that is being run against Mr. Obama in North Carolina.

Hiroshige's One Hundred Famous Views of Edo

Hiroshige's One Hundred Famous views of Edo
This is a high resolution collection from the Brooklyn Museum of Hiroshige's great woodblock masterpiece.  The views are broken into the four seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.  Kinryūzan Temple in Asakusa is one of my places in Tokyo.
