The Hard Rock is considering putting in a topless swimming pool. If you're looking for a little sun and a whole lot of skin and hard bodies, the pool at the Hard Rock Cafe is the place to be.

"From day one it's been a very popular destination. The locals want to see it, the tourists always flock to it it's probably our #1 amenity," said Yale Rowe, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. Going topless could make the pool even more popular.
How about the restaurants?

There are two weddings. One on Saturday and one Sunday. What you were voting for was for the prize to which couple gets it, and then.. you have to wait and see if the couples get married. So let's say they both get married, but America voted for couple one, they get the money, and the other couple is married with nothing. Screwy huh.

The War That Ended History.
"A country's identity, its value and civilization resides in its history. If a country's civilization is looted, as ours has been here, its history ends. Please tell this to President Bush. Please remind him that he promised to liberate the Iraqi people, but that this is not a liberation, this is a humiliation." -- Iraqi archeologist Raid Abdul Ridhar Muhammad, discussing the looting of the National Museum of Iraq.
Don't know much about history, anymore.

It's gone.

War cancelled on two TV networks.
In separate announcements, the NBC and CBS networks confirmed that they have cancelled Operation Iraqi Freedom as of yesterday afternoon. "This has no bearing on the quality of the war," said an NBC spokesperson. "In fact, as we have said before, we believe it's one of the best wars to appear on TV. Our viewers are simply looking for non-war programming right now, and we need to focus on what our viewers want."

Michael Moore's Next Film: Fahrenheit 911.
...titled "Fahrenheit 911," is scheduled for release in the two months before Election Day. It tells "in part the story of twin errant sons of different oilmen," he says, and will stir together the pre-9/11 intersection of Bush and bin Laden family business interests when both had ties to the Carlyle Group.
Too much for me to read. I'll wait for the movie.
