"It was divine intervention. I have a great devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe ... and had just looked up at the $2 million and said a little prayer to her when I hit the jackpot. Our Lady really looks out for me."

-- GUADALUPE LOPEZ, mother of JENNIFER LOPEZ, telling the New York Daily News how she hit a $2.4 million jackpot on an Atlantic City, N.J., slot machine.

The Lessons Learned
New York Yankee fans and Barry Bonds have something in common, they both hate the fact that Roger Clemens "unretired". Bonds went 0 for 2 with one walk against Bonds, oh, he got struck out not once, but twice! After Clemens got pulled with a one-hitter in the seventh, Bonds pulled himself out of the game. Is Barry ashamed? He talks all this shit, pulls his name out of video games, and attempts to make himself a name. But he's just afraid of being known as the man who couldn't win the big one, and it's showing against World Series Champions in Andy Petitte and Roger Clemens. He's got David Wells tomorrow. Will we see 660? Or another K or two? Speaking of being Jaked, I just saw Bill Romanowski is in this paid commercial for this drug called Vital Therapy Copper.

TGD'S P.O.T.D. Revisited
On Sunday night, 13 girls and three boys at a camp in southern Negeri Sembilan state went berserk and started screaming that their toilets were haunted, the New Straits Times said. They were hospitalised and discharged the next day. The perceived hauntings continued with another four girls becoming hysterical late Tuesday after claiming to have seen the same apparitions in the toilets, the daily said. The instructor said all the affected girls were having their periods when they became hysterical. So Malaysian ghostbusters were called in to exorcise spirits.... If anyone has anything to say about this, let me know please.

Political Plunders or Hach The Vote?
Who the fuck is John F. Kerry? He had this quote: "Where are the people with the flowers, throwing them in the streets, welcoming the American liberators the way Dick Cheney said they would be?" Maybe because they're affraid of repeats, JFK, Bush, it's getting fucking repiditive. But truthfully, could the reason that all of these deaths have suddenly start to occur is because Iraqi's are slowly learning that America is fucked up. Yep, wasn't it South Park who helped us to learn that the rest of the world hates us. Maybe if the people crying about poor people would shut up Republicans wouldn't have to run in and take care of everything. I for one fear the occurances in Isreal more than anything. I wonder why we haven't found bin Laden yet. Could it be because we're waiting for another bomb to drop or are we waiting to drop a bomb? Again.... FUCK ANYONE WHO TRIES TO JUMP ON ANYONES COAT TAILS!!! Kerry is no JFK, hell he's just married to a bottle of ketchup.
Kick The Dog
In the sign of the times or the newest profession, a man in Tennesse was arrested for kicking and killing a 17 year old dog. Chad Daniel Crawford, 23, was booked on charges of cruelty to animals and felony vandalism. He was freed after posting $25,000 bond. I guess there was three guys involved and one held the dog like holding a football for an extra point. So what's going to happen... is the NFL going to get banned because of these wild antics? And hell, the dog is 96 years older than Crawford.

Being Fat Has It's Highs
Jonathan Wilson, a jailed man in OKEECHOBEE, Florida who was previously jailed for cocanie. Is now facing more time because he snuck a little big of the white powder in with him. And "in with him" I mean, Wilson who is 6'2", 350 hid the sugar under a roll of fat. He had a total of 1.9 grams. How'd they find out? Another inmate! Don't they kill people for this? And oh, by the way, Big Rob, if you are reading this... What are you doing next week?

The C U Scandal
No you don't get a scandal for seeing people, but you do if your the University of Colorado. After the lazy bakers dozen of rape scandals, 9 of them, have been coming out since 2001. The school went out and hired two lawyers to investigate. I wonder what they'll find, if they are lucky they'll find um... Well, what can you find after a college party that occured in 2001? Not beer cans, not narcotics, not nothing. So start questioning people!

Thursday Is Media Day

The Simpsons, yes again on the Grind, this time all about movie talk, it was said it'll take a few years but the chick who does Lisa's voice said: "My wish for the show is that we go out with a bang not a pimple."

Last weeks hot girl for Hachland, a.k.a. the "Girls" section on the main page that had some chick named Brooke Burns on it is about to get married to John McLain, I mean Bruce Willis...

Rosanne quit a show because she didn't want to scream. Weird.

Nick & Jessica, the guy I hate and that chick I'd bate, just got Mr. T to agree to appear on their new variety show on ABC. Damn, I'm going to have to give it ratings now.

I started reading this story on John Travota thinking Oprah and Barbra we're crazy fans looking for autographs, but I guess it was just for his 50th birthday. Something about me and not caring about this.

The Rock's wife Dany showed him what she thought of his sex scene in new movie Walking Tall - by hitting him during the screening. The Rock enjoyed a steamy scene with newcomer Ashley Scott in the movie, but he admits his wife of seven years wasn't impressed with what she saw. He says, "After I saw (the love scene), I was like, 'Wow, this is pretty sexy and steamy. I gotta show her because I'm not going to the premiere where there's like 1,000 people and then she like whacks me or something like that!' We screened it for all the family and friends down in Florida. She was watching and as soon as it was done, 'pow!' right in the back of the head."
