Ghosts Among Us: uncovering the truth of Van Praagh

Multi-million-dollar medium, James Van Praagh, is out with a new book: Ghosts Among Us: Uncovering the Truth About the Other Side. In it, he reveals that the set of TV’s Ghost Whisperer is haunted and that Britney Spears has two ghosts “attached” to her. (Hmmm? Could it be the ghosts of that head-shaving incident and her performance on the MTV Awards show?!) Way back in March 1998, my newspaper column uncovered the secrets to his so-called Talking to Heaven. And I wrote extensively about ghos read

Bobs Eye View

EXPLODING UNDERWEAR A man thought to be on the run after he held up a Pompano Beach, Florida bank, attracted a lot of attention this past Monday when a dye pack exploded in his pants.  I don't know about you, but I just hate it when anything explodes in my pants, let alone a dye pack of money. PSYCHIC, SCHMYCHIC I have always been amazed that Americans are willing to believe that psychics such as John Edward and James Van Praagh can contact dead people for them.  Believe you me, if my mother w read

Continued Unfitness for Command:John Kerry and his apologists keep fighting and losing their last war

By Mark Hyman Perhaps John Kerry and the New York Times should have adhered to the old adage to let sleeping dogs lie. It appears the Times‘ Kate Zernike used Kerry campaign talking points rather than the facts in her breathless account of how the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth "smeared" John Kerry over his Vietnam record during the 2004 presidential campaign. In her 1,283-word "Veterans Fight to Reclaim the Name ‘Swift Boat,’" Zernike came across as a Kerry campaign spokesman rather than as an read

Look Out, T. Boone's at the Dry-Erase Board With a Plan to Save America!

You could just read about T. Boone Pickens' plan to ween U.S. off foreign oil, yawn, or you can hear the man hisself in a 10-minute video made for his Web site, where the Dallas billionaire and Swift Boat financier does his best H. Ross Perot and takes to the drawing board to break like the wind (and natural gas and so forth). Pickens' plan also got him on CNBC this morning, where he co-hosted Squawk Box and proved himself a most capable television personality. Almost Fran Tarkenton That's I read

Dogan's Done It - Again

Being a loyal reader of the Pensacola News Journal's Reginald Dogan, as we are, is like being a Chicago Cubs fan. No matter how fervently you wish them success, over time the odds are high that you're going to have your heart broken more often than not. Take today, for instance. Coming off a win where Dogan hit it out of the park by showing what an unnecessary extravagance an $8-$10 million parking ramp would be on Pensacola Beach, he follows up with a breathtakingly bad idea: turn Pensacola Be read

The Truth About America's Energy - Part 1

Posted by AzBlueMeanie: For the past couple of weeks, John McCain and the GOP have been hitting the airwaves to sell McCain's "new" energy policy. There is nothing "new" about his policy - it is essentially Dick Cheney's secret Energy Commission Plan from 2001. The only thing "new" is that McCain has reversed his previous opposition to lifting the moratorium on off-shore drilling in environmentally sensitive coastal areas, although he continues to oppose drilling in the environmentally read
