(Photo by Giles Clarke/Getty Images) Judge Loses Re-Election And Decides To Make The New Judges Job A Little Harder A day after Judge Glenn Devlin of Houston lost his reelection bid, he pettily released nearly all of the juvenile defendants who appeared before him, as long as they answered no when he asked if they “planned to kill anyone.” Devlin, one of the 59 Republican jurists in Harris County who was replaced by Democrats, reportedly said: “This is obviously what the voters wanted,” when he released juveniles who have been charged with a wide range of crimes. The republican was clearly angered about being upstaged by a democrat and wanted to go out with a bang.
It looks like Demi Moore may be taking her daughters’ advice. According to Page Six, the actress is moving on from Ashton Kutcher with yet another boy toy, some 26-year old named Vito Schnabel . Schnabel is the son of famous painter Julian. He’s an art dealer who was linked romantically to Elle MacPherson in 2008. Witnesses tell The New York Post that Moore and Schnabel first cozied up at the 50th birthday bash for Naomi Campbell’s boyfriend in India this month. “They were dancing and grinding all over each other, openly, in front of other guests,” an insider tells the newspaper. Ever since then, the unexpected pair has been “quietly spending time together,” another source adds. Moore and Kutcher, of course, separated a year ago, with Kutcher now openly dating Mila Kunis . There’s no word yet on when the formerly married couple will officially divorce.
President Barack Obama has invited vanquished rival Mitt Romney to lunch at the White House on Thursday. The food should be first-rate. The conversation? Exchanging substantive and constructive ideas isn’t really the point, of course; both parties likely just want a post- 2012 election public burying of animosities. White House spokesman Jay Carney announced the meal Wednesday in a statement: “It will be the first opportunity they have had to visit since the election.” There will be no press coverage, of course. Following his reelection, Obama said nice things about his ex-opponent, including that he’d like to sit down with him and hear Mitt Romney’s ideas about the economy. “He presented some ideas during the campaign that I actually agree with,” said Obama. It behooves Obama to be gracious, of course, having won just 51 percent of the vote. With large margins of Americans telling pollsters they want Democrats and Republicans to work together, the lunch offer is at least a nice gesture to that effect. It could set a tone of civil discourse that the administration may want to continue to project in the months ahead … okay, maybe not, but wishful thinking? For Romney, the White House lunch must be a far easier, and yet more difficult task. Only weeks ago he thought the Oval Office would be home. Now it’s just an exclusive club that deigned to admit him for an hour, and he can’t exactly turn down the offer. From his days as Massachusetts Governor, Romney clearly knows that Americans want their politicians to work together, and bolsters the Republican brand by appearing. Romney also needs to rebuild his status within the GOP, as well as within the country, following his loss and the claim that Obama won by giving people gifts . What we wouldn’t give to be a fly on the wall …
Chuck Norris stars in a new ad urging citizens to unite and vote against President Obama and prevent a Doomsday scenario that would inevitably follow his reelection. “If we look to history, our great country and freedom are under attack,” the 72-year-old Expendables 2 star says in his dire appeal to Republican voters. “We’re at a tipping point and, quite possibly, our country as we know it may be lost forever if we don’t change the course in which our country is headed.”

[Guest post by Lee Stranahan] Barack Obama announced his reelection campaign. He plans to raise one billion dollars. I don’t think he will win and beyond that, based on the successful cynicism that got him elected in the first place I hope he doesn’t win.
