Politics and pop culture mix at Washington dinner
By Cindy Clark, USA TODAY

WASHINGTON — President Bush went out with a patriotic flair Saturday at his last White House Correspondents’ Dinner, closing his remarks by directing the U.S. Marine Band in a medley of marches.
Before that, though, he did have a jab or two for his potential successors.

“I have to say I’m kind of surprised we don’t have more presidential candidates here tonight. Like, any. Sen. (John) McCain’s not here, he probably wanted to distance himself from me a little bit,” joked Bush about the presumptive Republican nominee.

“The two Democratic candidates aren’t here either,” he continued. “Sen. (Hillary) Clinton couldn’t get to the building because of sniper fire, and Sen. (Barack) Obama’s at church.”

Among stars in attendance: Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner, Marcia Cross, Jenny McCarthy, Colin Firth, Pamela Anderson, Martha Stewart and the Jonas Brothers.

Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz posed for photos with fans, but the newly engaged couple, in the midst of swirling pregnancy rumors, weren’t up for chatting with reporters.

Washington heavyweights were represented, as well, including Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and former Secretary of State Colin Powell.

“I love the mix of crowds here,” said Bush. “Pamela Anderson and Mitt Romney in the same room. Isn’t that one of the …

Where’s the Beef? Not With Pamela Anderson

Pamela Anderson called me to talk about wieners!

The buxom blonde and PETA activist says she's horrified by rumors spreading on the Internet that she was recently caught—and photographed—eating a meat hotdog at her sons’ baseball game near their home in Malibu.

“It’s like Hotdoggate,” she said with a laugh on the phone from Washington, D.C. (she’s there to attend tomorrow's White House Correspondents Dinner).

“Clearly, it’s a veggie dog. They've been serving veggie dogs and veggie burgers at my kids’ baseball games for years now.”

Anderson was a driving force to get the ballpark to offer meat alternatives. She says, “Lovely John, who runs the hotdog stand there from the Kiwanis Club, has been so wonderful to me and my kids.”

Turn Over a New Leaf, Try Vegetarian

In her role as a Lettuce Lady, Pamela Anderson urges people everywhere to "Turn over a new leaf! Try vegetarian."

Pamela knows the nasty effects that eating flesh can have on your body and says, "Meat is loaded with saturated fat, which weighs you down and packs on pounds." Her advice is to follow in the footsteps of the Lettuce Ladies and "try eating more vegetarian meals."

The blond bombshell also notes that it’s not just about whether or not you eat animals but also how you treat them. Pamela made this abundantly clear when she said the way a man treats animals says a lot about his ability—or inability—to perform: "Men hunt because they have something wrong with their own equipment and they need something else to shoot."

In addition to promoting a …

Morrissey about the seal hunt…

Statement from Morrissey
31 March 2008

Statement from Morrissey:

In late June the Montreal Symphony are hosting a TV Special to salute Buffy Sainte-Marie’s 50th year making music. I am honored to be asked to take part. I first bought a Buffy Sainte-Marie record when I was 12, and her music has always remained with me. In the 1960s, as a political activist, Buffy’s lyrics were fearless, and I’m very grateful for all the risks that she took.

I am also pleased to be asked to join the bill at the V Festival at the Thunderbird Stadium in Vancouver, and also at Fort Calgary in Calgary.

However, as we all know, the psychologically and constitutionally sickening Canadian seal-kill has started and is once again in full-cry.

The horror of the Canadian seal-kill is untranslatable, and although I fully realize that highly concentrated evil exists in other countries - Japan’s dolphin slaughter, Iceland’s newly-revived whaling, the cat-skinning trade in Switzerland, and China with just about every injustice imaginable - there is something especially menacing about Canada’s seal-kill.
Loyola Sullivan (Canada’s Ambassador for Fisheries Conservation) is a man of glacial coldness who claims that the seal-kill is “humane” - a view he might alter if his own skull were cracked open with a spiked axe.

The fact that the seal-kill provides a livelihood for fishermen is an insultingly dim excuse for it to take place - after all, the German gas chambers of World War 2 also provided …
