While You Were at the Bar 7/17

News you can use:

Two men who have been rumored to be on the prospective veep list of Senator Barack Obama were out campaigning with him in Indiana yesterday. Both men, former Georgia Senator Sam Nunn and Indiana Senator Evan Bayh, played coy when asked about the possibility of being the number two man in November. Perhaps one of our Anonymous readers can give us some insight into this matter? Unless it's Nunn of our business...

Californians will get to vote on whether to amend their state constitution to limit marriage as between a man and a woman. After the California Supreme Court essentially ruled gay marriage legal in May, an initiative to amend the constitution was brought forth by opponents of gay marriage. Subsequently, proponents of homosexual unions asked the state Supreme Court to remove the initiative from the November ballot, which the court ruled against.

Israel and Lebanese militant group Hezbollah participated in a prisoner swap yesterday. Israel released 5 prisoners, including one convicted murderer of a man and his 4 year old daughter, and the bodies of 199 fighters from the Lebanon-Hezbollah War two years ago. As a part of the swap, Hezbollah released the bodies of two of Israel's soldiers, additional remains of other soldiers and a status report of an Israeli navigator.

News you can lose:

So, Katie Holmes has a new 'do for a guest role on 'Eli Stone', whatever that is. Beyond the pics of her new hair, what about this one? Why in the hell does she have on gloves? I'm not a huge fan of Pucci, so meh on little Suri's dress... and DO NOT TELL ME that is a bottle Katie is carrying! Suri is two years old! Perhaps I should have saved this for WTFriday. But still, WTF?

Word of the Day:

mephitic (adjective): Offensive to the smell; as, mephitic odors OR poisonous; noxious

If you find store bought cleaners mephitic, perhaps you should try Pen's homemade ones?

2 tips left at the bar:

Katie needs a new stylist, pronto, for her and the kid. The word dowdy comes to mind. And yup, that's a bottle! Must be a Scientology thing.

P.S. Thanks for the cleaners shout-out. :)

Um. .where do they keep remains of 200 soldiers for 2+ years? And who's in charge of "taking care" of them?

That's ridiculous that she still takes a bottle!! And the gloves? Are you afraid to touch your child? You might contract something?
