The feeling may not be reciprocal here, but that’s nice at least. While out at The Grove in Los Angeles yesterday, a photographer caught up with Dr. Conrad Murray, who is awaiting involuntary manslaughter charges in the death of Michael Jackson, and asked about the late King of Pop’s offspring. His response: “That’s my children, I love them. I love them.” Dr. Conrad Murray: Man on the Street And this concludes your Dr. Conrad Murray update this week. It’s been fun. We’ll see if jurors show him similar love when his trial kicks off in late April.
Negotiations continue in an effort to forestall the great federal government shutdown of 2011, but both parties continue to dig in their heels in D.C. With all the rhetorical arguments, the finger pointing and buzzwords surfacing around this potentially cataclysmic event, it’s easy to get confused. It’s also crucial to stay informed about what really matters. Lucky for you, THG’s here. Here are 10 things you need to know about the impending shutdown, which will occur at midnight if no deal is reached: The President is the tanner of these two guys, but not by that much. Congress’ awesome 23 percent approval rating may REALLY tank! FEAR NOT, Congress will still be paid, though. Their staff? Nah. Planned Parenthood funding is involved. We’re not going there. The Bachelor host Chris Harrison is being sent in to mediate. You may actually get a reprieve from all that junk mail soon! 2011 is not 1995. No, seriously, it’s not. It’s 16 years later. The United States government can’t figure out how to cut spending, or raise taxes to pay for all that spending, or some combination thereof. Donald Trump will somehow use this to plug Celebrity Apprentice , tout his fiscal conservative credentials, and question Obama’s nationality. THG will remain open throughout any shutdown. Many services face lengthy interruption and an uncertain future, but not celebrity gossip .

To borrow a favorite Modern Family quotes , you can’t say “he went there” when he goes there all the time. But this Tweet from Kanye West exceeds even his impeccably high standards of randomness and absurdity. The rapper sent a controversial Tweet Wednesday implying that there are women out there who intentionally get pregnant just to cash in when a rich fella bribes them to get an abortion and/or with child support. “It ain’t happen to me but I know people,” he says. Here’s the potentially NSFW Tweet in question:
So how can you fix this potentially life-ruining problem? Well until Apple patches its OS — and it#39;s currently unclear if this is just iOS 4.2.1 or earlier versions as well — you can simply create a recurring alarm at the time you need to be woken up, and then disable it once your dreams are completely ruined. We#39;re taking a deeper look into the issue and have contacted Apple — if we get more news, you guys will be the first to know. In the meantime, feel free to commiserate in comments

Posted onNovember 29, 2010byBenny Hollywood|Comments Off on NYT Drops ClimateGate-era Ethics Qualms, Publishes Scores of WikiLeaks Docs
The New York Times has taken an admirable stand on the potentially-criminal release of diplomatic cables by the online “whistleblowers” at WikiLeaks. Said one Times reporter: “The documents appear to have been acquired illegally and contain all manner of private information and statements that were never intended for the public eye, so they won't be posted here.” Oh, wait. That wasn't in reference to the WikiLeaks documents. That was the Times's former environmental blogger Andy Revkin discussing the so-called ClimateGate emails . The Times has, in fact, posted a number of American diplomatic documents obtained illegally by WikiLeaks, and containing massive amounts of sensitive diplomatic communications. And so we get another glimpse of the amazing depths of the Gray Lady's hypocrisy. read more
Crazy? I’ll give you crazy . . . Last Friday Mika Brzezinski and Morning Joe engaged in some strange and possibly unprecedented TV “journalism.” They invited Terry Jones—the potentially Koran-burning pastor—on the show via live feed, gave former Newsweek editor Jon Meachem the chance to lecture him about Christianity and implore him not to proceed with his plan . . . then summarily cut the feed without giving Jones the chance to say word one in response. “We don’t really need to hear anything else” declared Mika , as she shut down the pastor’s microphone. A number of bloggers, including NB’s own Matt Hadro and me , noted and criticized Mika’s bizarre move. But there was Joe Scarborough on the show today, mockingly writing off Mika’s critics as “crazy people.” Joe’s contemptuous comment came in response to guest Joe Conason’s observation that, judging by the response in the blogosphere, NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg’s muscular support of the Ground Zero Mosque has probably put paid to any possible presidential ambitions on his part. JOE CONASON: [Bloomberg] made what I think was a highly-praiseworthy decision to sacrifice the idea of running nationally when he took such a strong stand. If you read what people are saying about him in the blogosphere — JOE SCARBOROUGH: Who cares? Who reads that crap? CONASON: I do. It’s my job. SCARBOROUGH: You know what? There’s going to be anger. Of course we all read blogs, too. There are people outraged, I mean, there are people outraged on the right that Mika didn’t give time to that preacher that wants to burn Korans and get American troops killed overseas. So there’re crazy people on both sides. Instead of school-yard name-calling, it would have been interesting to hear Scarborough’s serious defense—if one he has—of inviting a guest on with knowledge aforethought that he was going to be lectured and not accorded an opportunity to respond.
Designboom showed this silly little thing, a bottle opener that fastens to the rails on the underside of a bike saddle. Designed by Jonathan Sabine and Adam Pickard of Chromoly in Montreal, it is also an eye-opener when you hear the price, forty bucks. But another eye-opener is the way it is made and sold: 3D printed out of metal to order…. Read the full story on TreeHugger
