More developments at the fast-moving scandal that is threatening to cripple the Justice Department. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales accepted the resignation of his chief of staff, accused of firing eight federal prosecutors who did not aggressively prosecute Democratic politicians. Gonzales sidestepped responsibility by admitting "mistakes" were made, but will not resign because he was not "aware" of "all decisions." Meanwhile, the electronic trail calling for the dismissal of dozens of U.S. Attorneys leads directly to White House counsel Harriet Miers—remember her?
· Pharrell Williams on narcissistic celebrities: "Self-glorification is a big turn-off, listening to somebody talking about themselves all damn day long. Yo! Go and live in a mirrored house."
· As of today, nine newspapers have dumped the column by right-wing harpy Ann Coulter after her "faggot" comments against Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John Edwards. The latest: The Inland Valley Daily Bulletin of Ontario, California.
· John Edwards will appear on CNN's The Situation Room.
· Coulter's pathetic hate speech and the applause it received—see HERE—dramatizes the apathy of most conservatives toward gay rights. Congressional Quarterly reports that as "the Bush administration continues to lose popular support and a Democratic Congress is in power", gay rights groups hope "to move two pieces of long-stalled legislation targeting hate crimes and workplace discrimination against gays and lesbians. Getting both bills enacted—a goal that leaders say is well within their reach—would mark the gay rights movement’s first substantial legislative victories in Washington this decade."
Oh, Ann. As hateful as you are wildly inaccurate.

I wonder if in 20 years, watching something like this will be as uncomfortable for str8 people as the scene in Dreamgirls where the host makes black jokes is for white people today? Its amazing to me how azz backwards the right wing can be, all under the guise of protecting the land of the 'free'...
On a superficial note... ummm... Don't Pharrell's comments about narcissistic celebs come across a bit hypocrytical? How many other producers were in FRONT of the cameras and singing on tracks (or at least trying to sing...) before he started doing it... I was getting tired of seeing him in everyones dayum videos for a minute...
