Aspen Times Columnist Says "Angry White Men" Will Decide Election

Aspen Times Columnist Says "Angry White Men" Will Decide Election


Aspen Times Weekly columnist Gary Hubbell and his Feb. 9 column entitled "In election 2008, don’t forget Angry White Man" have been the center of controversy.

Hubbell described that the Democratic presidential race is between a White woman and an African-American man. With all the focus of each candidate about special interest groups, Hubbell says that candidates have not recognized "angry white men," who he claims will decide the election.

Hubbell then details the characteristics of angry white men, describing the broad description of their cultural backgrounds. According to Hubbell, "angry white men" are gun-toting, English-loving men who are very masculine and voted for George W. Bush.

However, the biggest commonality is their disdain for Sen. Hillary Clinton.

Hubbell goes on to say that "angry white men" would love to have Clinton win the Democratic presidential bid, in order for them to vote against her.

Heidi Fleiss to Open Eco-Brothel for Women

Heidi Fleiss to Open Eco-Brothel for Women

Well there's already eco-porn, and green keeps getting hotter and hotter, so it's not too surprising that someone would try to open an eco-brothel. That someone is none other than infamous celebrity madam Heidi Fleiss.

The raven-haired, 80-pound ex-con plans to open the stud-farm and -- get this -- spa on land she owns near dusty Pahrump, Nevada. The facility will reportedly boast wind turbines, and the feisty proprietor is looking into non-toxic, green building materials and techniques, to make sure no one gets a chemical headache while getting boffed.

The Stud Farm will be “an exclusive resort, and I’ll make it really nice like the Beverly Hills Hotel,” Heidi reportedly has said, for women who "want to get a manicure, a pedicure, and a shag.”

So far Fleiss has hit a delay, after she was tangled up in some local intrigue. It seems another brothel owner was arrested for allegedly bribing a public official, and Fleiss had reportedly introduced those two parties. But the erstwhile madam of $10,000-night call girls believes her eco-brothel will soon get up and running.

Fleiss already owns a state-of-the-art, energy-efficient Laundromat in Pahrump.

Fleiss is a vegetarian who considers herself a tree hugger. She is also well known for owning 20 some exotic parrots. Perhaps that explains part of why she takes indoor air quality so seriously, given that birds are highly sensitive to toxic VOCs (remember the proverbial canary in the coal mine?).

Eva Mendes Steps Out With Her Beau


It didn’t take long for the paparazzi to catch up with Eva Mendes, who made her first public appearance since leaving her rehab facility in Utah yesterday.

Spotted out in Los Angeles, Mendes kept her head lowered as she visited a friends house with her boyfriend, George Gargurevich, by her side.


As previously reported by Gossip Girls, the Ghost Rider star left Cirque Lodge - boarding a flight to Los Angeles shortly after 9pm (PST) on February 6th after spending a number of weeks in the facility.

Now it’s being reported that Eva is only on break - not completely finished. “Eva is attending to some personal business in Los Angeles and intends to return to complete her treatment shortly,” the actress’s rep said in a statement Thursday.

Go Daddy.com: "Wardrobe Malfunction"

Go Daddy.com: "Wardrobe Malfunction"

I don't know who Donica Patrick is, but apparently she is going to have some kind of a wardrobe malfunction available only at GoDaddy.com. I just love how this commercial plays on nerds who are always on their computers, even during the Super Bowl (ahem); how they only watch the game for the commercials (ahem); and how it assumes that nerds would be into internet porn-- which is sort of what they are offering at Go Daddy.com in this commercial. There are better reasons to go to Go Daddy.com-- like buying a domain name, which is why I go there. But I still chuckled at this commercial and I thought it was pretty smart considering the small time package they had to work with.Video coming soon!

Knox: 'I Am Innocent, I Will Be Free'

Knox: 'I Am Innocent, I Will Be Free'
Of all the fears parents face when a child goes out into the world, Amanda Knox's mother and father could never have imagined that just six weeks after their daughter arrived in the quaint, medieval town of Perugia in Italy's Umbrian countryside, she would be in prison.
The 20-year-old is a suspect in the brutal murder of her British roommate, Meredith Kercher, and her family is caught in a nightmare 6,000 miles from their hometown of Seattle.
Video

Curt Knox and Edda Mellas only can see their daughter for an hour twice a week in an Italian prison.
"20/20" traveled to Perugia to investigate the side of story people haven't heard, and Knox's parents and 19-year-old sister, Deanna Knox, are speaking publicly for the first time in an exclusive interview with "20/20" co-anchor Elizabeth Vargas.
In her prison diary, Knox writes, "I know I am innocent. This is light enough. I may be in prison for a crime I didn't commit, but the truth is out there, and I wait day by day, for it to be discovered. … I am innocent and so I will be free. I will have freedom." Watch the full interview and hear more from Knox in her own words tonight on "20/20" at 10 ET
A Dream Becomes a Nightmare
Knox's parents divorced when she was a toddler, but they raised their two daughters together. They shared the pride when Knox made the Dean's List at the University of Washington, and the financial concerns when she yearned to spend her junior year abroad.

"We basically told her that, you know, here's how much we have available, and she said, 'Well, I can make up the rest,'" said Curt Knox.
According to Deanna Knox, her sister "never went out. She stayed home, studied and worked, and that's all she did, just so she could afford to go [abroad]." Two years, countless jobs and $7,000 later, Knox had made her dream a reality.
Perugia is an ancient city two hours north of Rome, known mostly today for its chocolates and its universities, which attracts 40,000 student each year from all over the world.
In August 2007, Deanna Knox accompanied her sister on her first visit to Perugia to find a place to live. They settled on a cottage overlooking the Umbrian valley that Knox would eventually share with two Italian women and Kercher, who also came to Perugia from England to fulfill her dream of studying abroad.
Knox's parents say that their daughter and her roommate got along well.
Video
"Everything seemed to be meshing just fine," said Curt Knox. "I got to hear about [how] her and Meredith spent a bunch of time at this big chocolate festival. And she said, 'Yeah, we had the best time.'"
"They got along great," said Mellas.
Some of Kercher's friends say that Knox got too involved in Perugia's lively social scene, that Kercher complained that her roommate partied too much and brought home too many boys. But Deanna Knox says that doesn't sound like her sister.
"I've seen a lot of people at college just lift a lid and just, I'm free, and go nuts. But Amanda definitely didn't do that. … She did not go crazy with men in Italy at any time. I mean, she's a normal girl and she found a guy there, but she did not go crazy."
The guy was Rafaele Sollecito, an Italian engineering student Knox met at a classical music concert.
For Kercher, the experience abroad would take a horrific turn.
On the night of Nov. 1, Kercher went to a friend's house for dinner and then walked home alone. Some time later that night, Kercher was murdered in a brutal assault in her bedroom — her throat was slit, she choked on her blood and she was left partially clothed, covered with a duvet.
