Sexy Charlize Theron Gets Marriage Proposal From Wacky Journalist
Filed Under Charlize Theron | Leave a Comment
Some of the best comedy these days can be had just by watching press conferences held with overseas journalists asking movie stars inappropriate questions usually involving some sort of romantic proposal.
The latest caught on video tape is a journalist asking Charlize Theron for her hand in marriage and on what side of the bed she wishes to sleep when Charlize Theron ties the knot with the eager reporter. Charlize Theron does what any rational person would do, she jokingly calls for security to remove the crazy reporter from the room.
Charlize Theron does investigate the journalist’s marriage potential before moving on to more questions. It turns out that the journalist doesn’t have any money — always a major stumbling block in a proposal to join ones life with another and something that isn’t impressive to beautiful Charlize Theron.

Jennifer Lanouette over at Comscore is reporting news that I’m sure causes great happiness for Joe Biden and his family members — the Senator from Delaware and land ‘o credit card companies — and anyone else who is connected with the credit card industry.
Despite the recent credit crisis that has hit the mortgage markets, credit applicants are still seeking online credit card applications.
The downside of the good news — all of the action is from subprime borrowers (a 30% increase) who have been squeezed out of other credit markets while prime customers (a 15% decrease) have been fleeing online credit card applications during these days of economic unrest.
The question to be seen is whether the subprime borrowers will be able to keep up with their credit card payments, if they are approved for credit.
Disclaimer — I’m tangentally connected with the credit card industry.

McCain Palin Combo Looks Good
Filed Under Barack Obama, Cindy McCain, John McCain, Michelle Obama, Sarah Palin | 2 Comments
In keeping with my “keeping it light because it is still summer” mood, I’m not going to get into the deep political battles that are all the rage on other blogs. There will be time for that later on in the political season. For now, I’ll just point out some of the pleasing aspects of the various political candidates and their families.
First thoughts on Sarah Palin.
Sarah Palin’s choice to be John McCain’s vice presidential running mate is attractive on several levels. Having a female candidate on the GOP ticket was a smart move. Having Sarah “Barracuda” Palin on the ticket is even smarter. Sarah Palin is a former basketball player known for her aggressive playing style that also carried over into her political career as a government reformer.
Watch for the efforts to compare and contrast this fall. Chicago’s own Barack Obama grew up learning his political skills in the machine politics of the Windy City with all of its colorful and lovable political figures who always seem to be playing cat and mouse games with the feds. (If they every bring back The Wire, maybe they should have it set in the wards of Chicago). Sarah Palin will be cast as the fighter who broke with her state’s political powers, going against the grain and foregoing some of the spoils that could have been sent her way if she had played along those who wanted a slice of the oil monies and Bridges to Nowhere that that some saw as the rewards for being elected to political office.
But, back to keeping it light. I almost veered into some heavy duty political commentary there.
The picture below is a reason why Sarah Palin was a good choice on John McCain’s part. Sarah Palin has a cute family — just like Barack Obama’s. Voters always love seeing kids on the convention stage — especially younger ones. Sarah Palin has five children, so that’s got to work in her favor with some voters.

But, the cuteness doesn’t stop with the kids. This is also the year of hottie potential First Ladies.
Putting politics aside, one must admit that Michelle Obama will be a fashion trendsetter should Barack Obama win. Should Barack win, it might be fair to say that Michelle Obama will be the hottest First Lady so far in history. But, never despair, Cindy McCain is also a hottie in her own right. Maybe First Lady comparisons with Jackie Kennedy are on point for this year.
