"I hate to sound cold but any kid of mine who pulls this shit has lost her position. She was deceptive, she lied and she's lying to herself. My daughter is not always honest. She is clearly deluded if she thinks she can buy her grandmother a small house in L.A. I'd love to see how that works. She thinks she has all this money. The point is, I have all the money she has."
Oh, right!
Cobain's widow just unleashed a serious Twitter attack on Activision -- the game developer -- saying they never got her permission to use Kurt's image ... and she wouldn't have given it to them if they had asked. Here's a sample:
"not in twenty JILLION years would i EVER have allowed this and this islethal."
"we get NO money for this, travesty, Frances gets NO money for the rape."
Activision released the following statement:
"Guitar Hero secured the necessary licensing rights from the Cobain estate in a written agreement signed by Courtney Love to use Kurt Cobain's likeness as a fully playable character in Guitar Hero® 5."
The official Palin statement:
Todd and I have since cut our vacation short because the incognito attempts didn’t work and fellow vacationers were bothered for the two days we spent in the sun. So much for trying to go incognito.
Incognito? Seriously? Do you even know what incognito means? See this?
That's Micheal Jackson. Micheal Jackson knew how to go incognito. You can't tell who that is by looking. You could maybe guess, because who the fuck else would be dressed like this, but you can't look at him and see that this is Micheal Jackson.
You on the other hand, this is your attempt at incognititude:
What is the thought process here? A-ha, no one will recognize me if I put on a visor! Oh, crap! this visor is left over from the McCain campaign! I know! I'll just cross out his name! Problem solved! To the Beach!
See, you have actually become a very recognizable person, due largely to the fact that you are a shameless, unrelenting publicity whore, so if you were actually trying to go incognito, you'd have to oh, I don't know, maybe put the tiniest bit of effort into it?
But of course you weren't really trying to go incognito, were you?
The very idea of you shunning the spotlight is as absurd as the thought that you might cut short your trip out of concern for "fellow vacationers." You might as well say that you're quitting because it's the right thing to do for America, or for the people of Alaska, and it's all about family and not being a quitter. Oh, that's right, you used all those up when you quit being governor!
What he found when he got here: a few aides and a single reporter.
“I think he’s going to be a little disappointed,” one of his aides remarked.
But Inhofe’s aides eventually rustled up a group of reporters, and the Oklahoman — wearing black snakeskin cowboy boots — held forth from the top of a flight of stairs in the conference media center.
Yeah, that's a mistake. When your boss is James Inhofe, it's probably best to shield him from the international press.
A reporter asked: “If there’s a hoax, then who’s putting on this hoax, and what’s the motive?”
See, these aren't American reporters. They aren't required to pretend to take you seriously. They don't need to act like your ridiculous ideas count as much as the considered opinions of all the legitimate scientists in the world, lest they be accused of liberal bias.
A reporter asked: “If there’s a hoax, then who’s putting on this hoax, and what’s the motive?”
“It started in the United Nations,” Inhofe said, “and the ones in the United States who really grab ahold of this is the Hollywood elite.”
The United Nations? Are you sure you don't mean the Freemasons? Or the Illuminati? At least make your conspiracy theory interesting, if not at all believable. And whomever you decide to accuse of being behind the conspiracy, take the time to assign them a motive. Say the U.N. owns stock in a solar energy company, or the Hollywood Elite want to make everyone afraid of rising oceans so they can have all the killer waves to themselves.
". . . the ones in the United States who really grab ahold of this is the Hollywood elite.”
One reporter asked Inhofe if he was referring to California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
See, foreign reporters aren't just going to accept what you say at face value without asking follow-up questions.
Another reporter — this one from Der Spiegel — told the senator: “You’re ridiculous.”
He's got a point, Senator!

But Rhonda Halliday of Images Hair Studio and Day Spa wants to give Palin the benefit of the doubt. She thinks the lack of payment was unintended, and someone on Palin's staff just dropped the ball. She was told to meet the group at the Monaco Hotel in downtown Salt Lake City and to just leave her car with valet parking.
After being ushered to a room on the 15th floor and given some instructions (don't talk to Palin unless she talks first) she did Palin's hair while the former Alaska governor chatted with her family.
Palin actually does a worse job of putting on the "aw shucks, jest folks" schtick than Jennifer "Still Jenny from the block" Lopez. Don't speak unless she speaks to you? The fucking queen of England is the only other one I know of with that rule. What is she, the Barbara Streisand of politics?
Then, the Palin party left to get to the book signing at Costco on time. Halliday was the last one out of the room because she had to put her equipment away, then watched as they all drove off without anyone mentioning payment or a tip, which is common when the hairdresser travels to the client for the appointment. Only Washington Insider Elitists tip! Tipping is socialist! If you tip the commoners, soon they'll forget their place and may try to make eye contact with you.
When the valet attendant got her car, he said that would be $10. She said she was with the Palin party and assumed they would take care of parking. That was news to him, so she had to fork over the $10. Nice touch! Not only does the poor hairdresser not get paid, she's actually out ten bucks! She says her friend has contacted Palin's assistant and was told to send them an invoice. Have your people call my people? Next time someone tells you about what a down-to-earth, real person Saint Sarah is, send them a link to the Salt lake Journal story about Palin and her entourage. At least you'll get a few moments' peace while they try to figure out how best to spin the story.
