Pat O'Brien

This morning Pat O'Brien barged into my room and caught me dancing alone to my iPod.

"What you listening to?" he asked.

"Irene Cara," I told him.

"Cool," he said. "I've banged her."

He stood at the doorway and waited for me to say something, but I was determined not to show any kind of reaction.

"No, I didn't," Pat O'Brien said. "That was a lie."

Then he buried his face in his hands and cried.

, over at Screenhead, they've put up The Pat O’Brien voicemail (.wma format), in which television host Pat O’Brien is heard telling some woman exactly what he wants through what we’re guessing is more of a chemical haze than Kuwait saw in all of the 90s.
Interesting timing seeing as Pat checked into rehab on Sunday. Gawker media’s Defamer is, of course, chock full of theories on that : Defamer Crazy Talk: Pat O’Brien Hiding Out In Rehab? [Defamer]

Peggy Noonan is messing with the truth: uggabugga

In Noonan's most recent column, she claims that people supporting the decision to withhold nutrition to Terri Schiavo are "committed to this woman's death."

FALSE. The point at issue is, can a guardian, with court oversight, determine what medical treatment can be applied to an incapacitated person? In this case, it's withholding nutrition. It could just as easily be a decision to proceed with radical surgery or medication - which could be contested by parents (or other people for that matter).

DATA POINT: Did you know? (from the Los Angeles Times)

"Michael has done everything possible for Terri over the years," said registered nurse Angie Olson, who doesn't know Schiavo personally but has worked with his colleagues.As is Gawker : Pat O’Brien ‘Inside’ Rehab
