Forest Lawn offered a clean slate surrounded by a who's who of Old Hollywood. The 300-acre hillside sanctuary is the final resting place of Jimmy Stewart, Spencer Tracey, Sammy Davis Jr., Errol Flynn and George Burns and his wife Gracie Allen. Humphrey Bogart and "America's Sweetheart" Mary Pickford are yards away from each other in the same walled (and locked) garden. Around the grounds are chapels - replicas of famous European churches - such as the "Wee Kirk o' the Heather" (Ronald Reagan tied the knot with Jane Wyman there in 1940). In other locations there are replicas...
...Looking to do something responsible with my power, I announced to my followers that CNN host Rick Sanchez is my sworn nemesis and asked them to spread false rumors about him, including one about how he gambled on the Olympics against America. Four of them did. This is because, as with all numbers given for what people do on the web, I do not really have anywhere near the 700,000 followers twitter claims.

There's no sex slavery...

Archbishop Michael Sheehan told the National Catholic Reporter on Aug. 12 that he spoke out during the bishops' meeting in June, saying they risked "isolat[ing] ourselves from the rest of America by our strong views on abortion and the other things. We need to be building bridges, not burning them...
...referendum itself, at least one-quarter of the electorate - about 7 million people - would then have to show up at polling places with the "yes" votes outnumbering the "no's" by at least one. But in Latin America it's notoriously difficult to convince citizens to turn out for referendums. That means Uribe will have to spend a lot of energy on a get-out-the-vote compaign just to ensure enough people vote to make the referendum valid. He might just barely make it across the registration deadline. If he does, he will have two-and-a-half months...
