Nuclear Jericho
With world attention focused
on the nuclear ambitions of rogue states like North Korea, one might assume that
the producers of CBS' promising new drama "Jericho," which deals with the
aftermath of a nuclear attack, are merely playing on Americans' fears.
"Jericho" executive producer Jon Turteltaub does admit that a bit of real-life
worry over an attack helps make the show more compelling.
"If people had no fear of nuclear bombs, then this show would kind of suck," he
says. "But if America was in a panic over nuclear bombs,
we probably couldn't make the show."

Valerie Plame Wilson Update
Without ever mentioning him by name, Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald, in a court filing Monday, argues that a jury in the CIA/Leak trial should not consider evidence concerning why he did not charge former State Department official Richard Armitage with leaking Valerie Plame's name to reporters. It is a crime to intentionally disclose the name of a classified CIA operative.

Katherine Harris Writing Tell-All Book
Katherine Harris, who is
trying to become a U.S. senator, says she is writing a tell-all about the many
people who have wronged her...."I've been writing it all year," she says in that
kittenish voice. She often smiles and cocks her head as if she's letting you in
on a secret.
"It's going to be a great book."
The next Republican National Convention must be held in a giant closet. Every week, there's a new gay Republican outed. I have a feeling that big tent they're always talking about is in their pants! There are so many Republicans in the closet, their symbol shouldn't be an elephant; it should be a moth! -- Bill Maher
