Fat Naked Fag Goes Down

So its likely you will remember Richard Hatch, aka the fat, naked fag who won ONE MILLION DOLLARS on the first season of Survivor . Well it will appear that Richard, while deeply cunning at manipulating people is not so sharp when it comes to business and in fact was referred to by his lawyer as “the worlds worse book keeper”. It appears that Richard forgot to pay taxes on the money that he won.

Oops.

He has been convicted and now faces up to 13 years in prison and a fine of $US600,000 ($A799,041.15). Perhaps the authorities can be persuaded to send him to Camp Seymour Johnson in the Carolinas to join Bill , it would make for good blogging.

I am actually surprised at this turn. I had always assumed it would be Hatchs criminal fashion sense that would do him in.

Worst case scenario, I can see a Mark Burnett spinning this off into another show. Hell if it can work for Martha , right?

Micheal Jackson branches out to offend another culture

So what did happen to Micheal Jackson after he won his court case but lost his publicity war? Neverland Ranch is shut down, his finances are in ruins and his credibility as a babysitter is, well quiet frankly its shot all to hell.

Well it appears that Mr Jackson, along with his unfortunately named children, were invited to come and stay in Bahrain by the royal family there. Now there’s a good idea, a barely- got- off- by- the- chemically- altered- sin- of- his- teeth child molester goes to stay in a Muslim country. Is this some weird side battle on the war on terror?

Has Bush sent Wacko-Jacko in to show the Gulf States how bizzare Americans are so they fear what might be coming next. I can see them begging now – please, please, don’tMariah or Michael Bolton. Oh Please, anything but that! send

Anyway, Jacko is still clearly taking too much medication because he was recently spotted “wearing an abaya, a traditional women’s veil and gown”. I do so love the word gown, it has such a lovely old world charm.

Three Western-looking children accompanying him drew the attention of other shoppers, who quickly recognised the pop star, a popular figure in the Gulf region.

“Please, no!” Jackson shouted to photographers before making a rapid exit with the children.

Please no indeed.

And yet still no indictment

For my American cousins, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU PEOPLE WAITING FOR? AN ENGRAVED INVITATION?

How many more things does the Bush Administration have to fuck up before you people will indite him.

The latest piece of news to slip out about Hurricane Katrina is that apparently the government knew about the potential damage and certainly the danger LONG before the storm hit.

At a July 29 briefing with federal and state authorities Transportation Department regional emergency officer Don Day said “If you think soup lines in the Depression were long, wait till you see lines” at collection points in New Orleans. [Yahoo News]

All that moral outrage over Janet Jacksons boob going on display and for this? Nada. What are you people? Crazy?

Meanwhile the Abramoff thing seems to be going precisely nowhere.

It all makes J’Ho appear positively benign.
