One Lost Her Crown and The Other Allegedly Lost Her Top! Two Queens Making News This Weekend for Very Different Reasons. Plus Brooklyn Decker Update!

The two royal family members are Italian glamour queen Marika Fruscio (first pictured hottie wearing a crown at the top) and Miss San Antonio Domonique Ramirez (the second pictured crowned lady above). Marika is a regular pair (err, face) on my Ladies Panel, while in February I discussed in this space the curious case of Domonique being stripped of her beauty pageant crown for "eating one too many tacos."

Well, good news for Domonique this weekend, while the news is just plain oddball when it comes to the Italian glamour model Marika. And yes, as promised, I have some breaking Brooklyn "Double" Decker news as well down below:

She Lost Her Top, or Did She?

The Net has been abuzz this weekend with the so-called "story" that Marika Fruscio took off her top and showed her sizable rack late last week on an Italian television show (as if she hasn't already done that same thing plenty in the European glamour rags!).

But alas, as best as I can tell, this is just a Facebook hoax. According to the linked report, the alleged video is making the rounds on Facebook, but don't click on it! The report says that if you do, "you will basically be spamming your friends by liking the page automatically and posting it on your wall."

Jeez. Glad I ran across that dude's report before trying to watch or imbed that stupid thing in here. BTW, I got wind that something was going down with Marika after receiving a lot of traffic this weekend from people apparently looking for this reportedly sham "story."

"One Too Many Tacos"? The Judge Didn't Buy It

Also a lot of traffic here this weekend from people looking for the latest on the former (and now restored -- read on) Miss San Antonio, Domonique Ramirez. She was stripped of the Miss San Antonio crown a few months back because the pageant board (through its spokesperson) said that Ramirez had "one too many tacos" and "too many chips and soda," allegedly putting on weight as a result.

Domonique took the pageant board to court, and late last week she won her case! The pageant board now has to restore her crown, and the "board" is reportedly none too happy about having to do so (link at bottom). There may be a hitch, however, as the pageant board is making noise about possibly appealing the judge's decision.

A link to my earlier post on this story is down below. My prior conclusion on this story was that even though the pageant board gave lip service to its decision also being based on Domonique being "late" to one or more of her post-pageant scheduled appearances, it was very clear to me that a significant factor (and perhaps the overriding factor) in the pageant board's decision to strip her crown was the board's view that Domonique had put on weight.

Of course, that was a completely pathetic decision since these "beauty" pageants are supposed to be about a lot more than just physical beauty, such as intelligence, ability on one's feet, and academic achievement. I'm glad to see the judge restore her crown, and hopefully that's the end of it. Stay tuned…

Brooklyn Decker Downsizes!

No, she didn't downsize her mammalian protuberances! Thank God. I'm talking about her hair, where the Net is going crazy this weekend with accounts of Double Decker (the blonde pictured three times above) chopping 10 inches off her curly blonde locks, allegedly to "mimic" Jennifer Aniston (link to People Magazine's story below) (see the last picture immediately above for the new "do").

Two points here: First, I don't think this completely hot supermodel is trying to do anything to "mimic" much of anyone, including Aniston (Aniston herself, admittedly, being one of the absolute hottest early 40-something ladies anywhere on the planet).

Second, if Brooklyn Decker wants to shave her head bald, stick a Frankenstein-style iron rod through her gullet, or even tat and pierce up every inch of her gorgeous melon, she's still going to be one of the most insatiable young ladies to visit the planet since the birth of Christ. If you don't care for the shorter locks, then get over it already! Dame is hot, regardless! If I was an early 30-something dude, I might even consider dating her myself.

High School Dude Says to School Secretary: "Can I Have Your Autograph, Miss? I Saw You in a Porn Film"!!!

Signs of the Apocalypse? Bikini, Burger & Spaghetti Cat Fights Break Out on the East Coast While Big Apple Subways Grow Even Weirder! BigDaddy Style:

Is the world ending even in advance of December 2012? Nevermind Japanese earthquakes and tsunamis, America waging war in Libya, and the unrest throughout the Middle East. Nope, much closer to home this week (and all caught on tape -- see below), we've got wild bikini burger bruiser brawls in Florida and a crazy spaghetti incident aboard a New York City subway -- a place that just seems to get weirder by the minute!:

"Damn, These Folks Are Slow!"

Those were the impatient words of 31-year-old bikini-clad Kimesa Smith as she waited inside a Florida Burger King for a Whopper Jr. and fries. Calling herself a "first time spring breaker," Smith says she just wanted to get some food down her piehole before engaging in a night of boozin'. But the grub was taking forever, not to mention that the employees didn't have "no smiles on their faces." So Smith starting arguing with employees, and that's when all hell broke loose!

Smith next leapt atop the burger joint's front counter and went hardcore like "Original Gangsta" New Jack at the ECW Arena! Looks like she was up there "shaking her ass like a salt shaker" (to quote the immortal words of one MC Ren/NWA), as she first tossed her sack of food in the direction of the workers.

She then grabbed a huge plastic charity jug full of coins and flung it at them. Smith also threw a another customer's soft drink at them and, just for good measure, started yanking on the manager's hair! Several of her friends also joined in. "We tore the Burger King up. I don't play no games," she spewed in broken English.

Smith's "antics" quickly drew the attention of some cops, who tried to slap the ol' cuffs on her. "Take your damn hands off me, you can't touch me," she barked at them. But Smith had a more thoughtful take on the entire event in an interview afterwards. Now facing a misdemeanor battery charge and possible time in a different kind of joint, Smith observed, "If I knew this was gonna happen, I would've gone to Taco Bell."

The Spaghetti Incident

Much like Kimesa Smith, the young lady just wanted to get her grub on as she rode the New York City subway. But they just couldn't let her pound down her messy meal in peace! From across the aisle, another woman shouts, "What kind of animals eat on the train!?" And the pasta business only picked up from there!

The noodle munchin' lady wasn't gonna have any of that! "You fat BITCH!", she yelled back. The two then got in each other's faces, prompting each to exclaim (predictably) "get out of my face" to the other. Then the pasta poundin' lady got all worked up and proceeded to toss her takeout meal right at the other woman! The fisticuffs ensued from there before this sorry scene was finally broken up by onlookers.

This spaghetti incident has reportedly sparked a gigantic debate this week in New York concerning proper subway etiquette (isn't that a contradiction of terms?) and whether all eating should be banned on the trains. It's also highlighted for the world to see just how oddball things have become in and around the Big Apple's subway system:

Subway Insanity

The linked AP story details how the great spaghetti incident is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to subway silliness. For one thing, New Yorkers are apparently obsessed with subway etiquette issues:

One dude put up a bunch of "official-looking" fake signs in the subway purporting to prohibit various forms of conduct that he felt inappropriate on the trains, including (1) nail clipping ("The sound is incredibly annoying and the nail bits go flying all over the place") and (2) nose-picking ("Keep your finger out of your nose"). I have to say that while the former sign seems rather trivial, the latter one I think I could probably endorse.

Another subway traveler, while pregnant, took to keeping count of "how many times fellow commuters offered her a seat on eight [of the city's] subway lines." Her research culminated in a series of rudimentary "pie charts" that she posted online to reflect her findings -- ranking the different subway lines from best to worst in terms of their seat-offering propensities. Only wish I had so much free time on my hands as these New Yorkers!

And it ain't just the etiquette police who are going ape$hit down there in the subway system. Just in putting together this story, the AP observes that it witnessed the following odd assortment of characters inhabiting the space in and around one of the city's subway lines:

(1) A man approaching the train "while baaing like a sheep"; (2) a woman "in a huge, fur-lined parka hissing at two large rats on a platform"; and last, but not least, (3) a pair of old codgers "belting out 'Papa Was a Rolling Stone' at triple its normal speed."

It may be the "City That Never Sleeps," but methinks a few of the locals may need to be put to sleep. That may be the most humane thing to do.

"Active Bomb Sat Three Weeks in Detroit Federal Building."

What's Rove got to say about this? What was his role? Did he defuse it? Did he put it there in the first place? Did he do both in order to be an attention hog? Was he trying to cover the whole thing up? Was there any torture involved? Where was that Scooter Libby character when all of this was going down? And does this mean that Rove is now a militia man? Let's get some cameras in Rove's face and really grill him! Get The Widow on the Set!

Actually, as best as I can tell, Karl Rove has no connection whatsoever to the Detroit story. But that didn't stop ABCNews.com late yesterday, which ran the above headline at the top of its website with the very same picture immediately below it.

Jeezal peezal, if you're going to cast a deranged right-winger in a false light, at least aim a little higher, ABC News! You mean to tell me that you couldn't have tossed in a Bush photo (feel free to use my old standby – the Bush phone-the-wrong-way pic)? Or Palin even (similarly you can use my Palin "boob job" photo from the Belmont)? Heck, you could have even gone with Cheney or Rumsfeld -- both much bigger fish than the slimy ex-chief of staff!

For the record, I'm not suggesting that the error was intentional by ABC. Doubt if it was (the picture was ultimately changed, I noticed later). But it just looks bad for this left-leaning member of the so-called "mainstream media." Not that I have much sympathy for Rove. He's a creep. Not to mention, I bet he couldn't diffuse or plant a good bomb to save his damn life!

Obama Says "Installing Democracy" Is Goal in Libya: HYPOCRISY, Perhaps on the Grandest Scale in Human History. How Are These 2 Idiots Any Different?

As an initial matter, yes indeed a number of the pictures above are fairly graphic (although, they can get MUCH MORE graphic). Well guess what: That's what War is – HELL – and it's why you do not get involved in one unless it is absolutely necessary – a lesson that our two pathetic, out-of-touch political parties could use to learn for the first time in their sorry lives. But alas, they never do. So here--we--go:

We've been told by Obama's White House for several days that the "goal" of our involvement in Libya is to protect Libyan citizens and "rebels" from aerial bombardament (from forces loyal to evil murderous dictator Moammar Gadhafi) through the imposition of a "no fly zone." But it turns out the real goal is none other than George W. Bush-like "regime change" through the neoconservative principles of forcibly removing Gadhafi and "installing democracy."

It's from Obama's own lips, as the story broke late yesterday (link at bottom) concerning a White House readout of a Monday night telephone call between Obama and the Turkish Prime Minister Recep Yayyip Erdogan in which the two leaders "underscored their shared commitment to the goal of helping provide the Libyan people an opportunity to transform their country by installing a democratic system that respects the people's will."

Now, I have little doubt that we will quickly see the White House try to distance itself from those words and to claim that the readout isn't accurate. That's as predictable as stench in an Alabama $hithouse. But I won't be believing a word of it. Only a fool would. Because intelligent people stand up to others and tell them not to piss down my back and tell me it's raining.

And BTW, how in the hell are we "spreading democracy," anyway, by taking actions supportive of the Libyan "rebels"? Every account out there on the Net says that Al Qaeda, not to mention Iranian interests, are firmly entrenched with this so-called Libyan "rebellion." Put another way, "democracy" is not going to visit Libya anytime soon. Pathetic.

All that aside, let's get down to the real point: This guy Obama may be the biggest hypocrite in the history of the civilized world! This goof was out there bashing Bush right and left in 2008 for the Iraq war -- an exercise which itself was little more than an effort to "transform the country by installing a democratic system," i.e. pure neoconservatism and the very same goal of the current Libyan operation.

Indeed, all of the 20 percenter leftists that Obama represents (he represents no one else in the country) have bashed Bush endlessly for years over Iraq! And now their guy -- His Majesty himself -- is out there proclaiming privately to foreign heads of state that we're going to get Gadhafi and spread American democracy into Libya! This is truly slimeball stuff.

Say one thing, do another. No character. No conviction. Just a whole big load of bullshit. Same old story.

At least I'm consistent. The Iraq War was bullshit. Our involvment in Afghanistan beyond a year or two has been bullshit. And our current involvement in Libya is bullshit. Yep, bullshit pervades.

And as an Independent, it's me who's the mealy-mouth?! Me who stands for nothing?! Me who talks out of both sides of my mouth?! Nope. That would be your illustrious president, ladies and gentlemen. Hope those of you who voted for him (I did not) are proud today. Pin a medal -- or a Nobel Peace Prize as the case may be -- on him!

Woman in Flashy Sweat Suit Allegedly Knocks Over Gas Station with a Screwdriver, Then Heads to St. Patrick's Day Parade to Join the Festivities!

Well, she doesn't look Irish. And it certainly wasn't her lucky day, either. But maybe she really needed some St. Patrick's Day beer money? We've all been there a few times, haven't we? Know I have. Anyway:

Cops in Topeka, Kansas say that 26-year-old Tihesia Birdlong is the woman pictured above in a store surveillance video. Birdlong was allegedly caught on the tape as she heisted the local Kwik Shop convenience store on St. Patrick's Day morning.

Don't let those flashy duds fool ya, either. This is one dangerous moll (allegedly). Cops says Birdlong pulled the job brandishing a damn screwdriver as a weapon! Then, when a customer tried to block Birdlong's getaway, Birdlong allegedly pulled out a baseball bat and clocked the man right in the kisser before scurrying out the joint with a small amount of loot.

And she might have gotten away with it too, as they say, if not for that damn pesky St. Patrick's Day parade that afternoon. Although Birdlong reportedly had at least a few hours before the parade to change into an inconspicuous shade of green, she had apparently chosen her threads for the day and, damn it, wasn't going to change them!

Allegedly sporting the same "blue sweat suit with a wide horizontal yellow stripe" that she had worn during her piece of work at the gas station, Birdlong allegedly showed up to watch the local parade early that afternoon – where she promptly stood out like the proverbial sore thumb amongst the green-cladded throngs (allegedly).

A local cop says he quickly recognized Birdlong in those loud clothes from a crime scene photo that he'd seen, and so he rained all over her parade and slapped the ol' cuffs on her. Busted!

Now Birdlong may have to put her screwdrivers and sweat suits (allegedly) on parade at the local hoosegow for a long time to come. She faces charges for aggravated battery, aggravated robbery and criminal property damage.

Just a couple of unresolved issues here. First, one of my initial questions on this story was whether Birdlong (allegedly) was wielding a Phillips or a flat head? I would think that a Phillips would tend to be much effective and efficient as a puncturing device, although a flat head could really leave a mark.

I see that one of the linked stories describes the weapon as a "flat-tip" screwdriver, and so apparently Birdlong was going for brutality over beauty and effectiveness (allegedly).

Second, maybe I'm being a little hard on Birdlong for criticizing her decision to wear that "distinctive sweat suit" at both the crime scene and the parade (allegedly). After all, get a load of those shades she allegedly wore for the job:

How much you wanna bet that she considered those sunglasses to be her "disguise" for the robbery, and then promptly ditched them before getting her parade on (allegedly). The best laid plans of mice and screwdrivers…

I'm Still Not Precisely Sure Why It Was Necessary for the United States and Its So-Called "Allies" to Get Involved in Libya. Are You?

Muammar Gadhafi is crazy with a capital K that rhymes with Tripoli. That walking sarcophagus is a brutal dictator willing to engage in limitless murder and brutality to keep his grasp on power in Libya. He's also murdered countless people through his support of terrorist efforts. He's the absolute scumjob of humanity, and a truly evil man. But like there's anything new about any of that!

$hit, I can recall Gadhafi raising all kinds of hell when I was a kid during the Reagan years. So you're going to tell me that once there's a revolution in his country and he acts in the same brutal way that he always has acted to try to crush the opposition, that suddenly after all these years it's time for us to act and become militarily involved in Libya?!? Please.

And don't try telling me that we know that a more pro-American regime will come to power if Gadhafi's ousted, because we certainly do not know that. From what I've read and heard, Al Qaeda (the America-lovin' individuals whom they've always been!) appears to be very much entrenched with the Libyan rebellion.

Regardless, haven't we lost way too much already in terms of American lives, first and foremost, as well as American money and debt, in fighting a war in Iraq and the endless war in Afghanistan?

We needlessly fought the Iraq war based on the completely false pretense of WMD's in order to advance the neo-con world view and agenda of that awful president, W Bush and his minions.

We've fought the Afghanistan war forever and should have been the hell out of there after a few years when it was clear that Bin Laden and most of his Al Qaeda underlings were safely squirreled away and virtually untouchable in Pakistan.

Enough already. In case any of you right-wing nuts (who have been criticizing Obama's recent Libyan inaction and backseat approach) haven't noticed – war is absolute hell and it takes an incredible amount of money to wage it. You do not get involved in wars and military engagements in other countries unless it becomes absolutely necessary. And when it comes to Libya, that ain't it.

As always, I am a huge supporter of the American men and women of our military forces involved in the Libyan effort. But I very much criticize and do not support the policy of our involvement there. Not for one second.

And BTW, were in the hell are the 20 percenter American leftists during all of this? Sure, some of the liberal politicians are making some noise (as Politico reported Sunday), but where's the widespread street action? Specifically, why aren't they taking to the streets in droves this weekend to protest this new military campaign in Libya – just like they did when we chose to invade a sovereign country known as Iraq based on the neo-con dreams of an idiot?

I was utterly stunned Sunday evening to scroll through the pathetic, radical far leftist website "DailyKos" and see nary a mention of the United States' involvement in the Libya operation. Instead, there was just a reference to France flying planes over Libya. Disgusting.

But oh, that's right: When dumbass republican presidents wage war, the 20 percenter leftists go ape$hit. But when a leftist democrat party president wages war, the 20 percenter leftists run for the hills faster than a janitor tasked with cleaning a Mississippi $hithouse. Same as it ever was -- Hypocrites. On all sides.
