What's Up With Bobby Eberle?

Doesn't it seem really wierd?

From Editor & Publisher...

NEW YORK Former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer was so concerned about Talon News reporter James Guckert's potential ties to the Republican Party that he stopped calling on him at press briefings for about a week in 2003, Fleischer told E&P today.

"I found out that he worked for a GOP site, and I didn't think it was my place to call on him because he worked for something that was related to the party," Fleischer said in a phone interview. "He had the editor call me and made the case that they were not related to the Republican Party. He said they used the GOP name for marketing purposes only."

He said he resumed calling on Guckert, who used the alias Jeff Gannon, after Bobby Eberle, owner of both GOPUSA and Talon News, "assured me that they were not part of the Republican Party." Eberle is a Texas Republican activist and served as a delegate to the 2000 Republican National Convention.

Shocking ... The Grammys

I'm constantly harping about pop culture and the negative images it broadcasts. Perhaps I don't know what I'm talking about.

My friend Mark Sorum's brother, Matt Sorum, is the drummer for grammy winner Velvet Revolver and before that was with Guns N Roses. Now Mark's a proud George W. Bush supporter, so I thought I'd watch his brother on the grammys. I don't think I've watched it in 10 years or so.

I expected to have my bad opinions reinforced, but I was shocked at the songs that won

Save me from this prison
Lord, help me get away
'Cause only you can save me now
From this misery

Tu que estas en alto cielo, hechame tu bendicion.
[translated from Spanish: you that's in a higher place, send me down a blessing]

'Cause I know there's a better place
In this place I'm livin'
How far is heaven?
So I just got to show some faith
And just keep on givin'
How far is heaven?
(Oh, Lord can you tell me)
How far is heaven?
(I just gotta know how far it is)
How far is heaven?
(Oh, Lord, can you tell me?)
How far is heaven?
I just gotta know how far
I just wanna know how far
