At 96, Jack LaLanne Says He's Still a 'Nut'
By David Moye - AOL News
(Sept. 23) -- When you're turning 96 and still as fit as a fiddle, people are invariably going to ask your secret. Ask fitness pioneer Jack LaLanne his secret for a long life, and you'll get a variety of answers. One day, he might say, "I can't die. It's bad for business." On another, he'll say, "I can't afford to die. It's too expensive." Maybe it's fruitless to ask health secrets from a man who celebrated his 70th birthday by swimming 1.5 miles while towing 70 boats with 70 people from the Queensway Bay Bridge in the Long Beach Harbor to the Queen Mary -- handcuffed and shackled -- ...
Nicolas Cage as You've Never Seen Him: as a Snow Monkey
By David Moye - AOL News(Sept. 8) -- Celebrity culture might be low-brow, but that doesn't mean it hasn't influenced the high art world. Just ask artist Brandon Bird, who is having his own brush with fame thanks to his paintings of celebrities like Chuck Norris, Christopher Walken and Nicolas Cage. Bird, 30, is not content to simply regurgitate their mugs as seen on TV. No, Bird prefers to go boldly where the celebrities -- and their fans -- would never imagine. For instance, he painted an oil portrait of former "Friends" star David Schwimmer gleefully performing water aerobics and depicted a car chase sequence ...
The Awesomeness That Is Chuck Norris Inspires Flugtag Racers
By David Moye - AOL News(Aug. 17) -- Chuck Norris has karate-chopped his way to being a martial arts champ and a successful actor. And if you believe a popular Internet meme, he is also the toughest man on the planet. Now, the former star of "Walker: Texas Ranger" may soon conquer the "flugtag." At least in spirit, because the actual work is being done by "Team Roundhouse," a group of five naval air crewmen who are part of the Helicopter Maritime Strike Weapons School at North Island Naval Air Station in Coronado, Calif., in anticipation of the Red Bull Flugtag Race scheduled for Aug. 21 in Long Beach, ...
Republicans' Dilemma: Michael Steele's Replacement
By Politics Daily Staff - Politics DailyAlthough his tenure as Republican National Committee chairman has been peppered with high-profile resignations, sex club allegations, frequent gaffes and fundraising woes, the calls for Michael Steele's resignation prompt a larger question: Who to put in his place? Steele's term runs out in January, so he's likely to hang on. The bigger issue confronting the Grand Old Party is who, in the absence of an agreed-upon national leader (i.e., a president or a presidential nominee), is the best kind of person to assume the party apparatus as the GOP attempts to recapture one or both houses of ...
Should We Let Texas Secede?
By David Knowles - Politics DailyYesterday, Texas Governor Rick Perry (guess his party affiliation) ratcheted up his rhetoric against what he sees as an overly-intrusive federal government. At a ceremony with state lawmakers, Perry voiced support for a Texas resolution that singles out the Lone Star state's love of the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Here's Perry:"I believe that our federal government has become oppressive. I believe it's become oppressive in its size, in its intrusion into the lives of our citizens and its interference with the affairs of our state," Perry said. He said Texas has economic strength, ...
Chuck Norris' Marching Orders For Obama
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyWhat are the odds? Two Chuck Norris stories in one day. What a country.The erstwhile Huckabee endorser and fictional law enforcer published an open letter to the President-Elect, and the message is clear: I am your boss-man. Seriously. It's called "Obama, Now That You Work for Me." Here are a few of Chuck's directives (with my commentary): --Use and cite the Constitution. ... You should be quoting from the Constitution publicly as often as a preacher quotes the Bible to his congregation -- at least weekly. If you take this oath and challenge seriously, you will limit the powers of federal ...
Rahm Facts Take Page From Chuck Norris
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyUpdate: The creators of Rahm Facts provided this bit of correction in the comments section: Hey Tommy, We're the creators of Rahm Facts - thanks for posting about us! Just for the record, our intent was definitely NOT to sour people on Rahm. We love the guy, DLC or no, and we think he's an awesome chief of staff pick. If the facts on our site made you like Rahm a little more, that is exactly what we're going for. I stand corrected. There's a new website, patterned after the viral and quirky ChuckNorrisFacts.com ("If you have $5 and Chuck Norris has $5, Chuck Norris has more money than you."), ...
Chuck Norris on Janet Huckabee
By Dave - Politics DailyChuck Norris talks about Janet Huckabee, apparently not giving up: This is probably the first presidential race in history in which the contenders' spouses all have been subjected to intense scrutiny, too. Still true, however, is the maxim: Behind every great man is a great woman. And epitomizing that accolade is Janet Huckabee, who deserves highlighted attention in this final installment of my endorsement series, especially because her character is also now under attack. The more I've gotten to know about her the more impressed I've become. ... If the media's only accusation of her is to ...
Coulter to Huck's Rescue on Confederate Flag
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyAs I reported here last week, Mike Huckabee courted pro-Confederate voters in South Carolina last week by defending the flying of the Confederate flag. On the heels of that stump speech, conservative author Ann Coulter came to Huckabee's defense, in an appearance on Fox News' Hannity and Colmes. In the clip, she incorrectly states that "...the majority of military bases in this country are named after Confederate officers. Eisenhower, Nimitz..." Coulter is known for making inflammatory statements, often while publicizing one of her many books. In the past, she has used an anti-gay slur against ...
What Victory Sounds Like
By David Knowles - Politics DailyWhen Mike Huckabee and Barack Obama came to the microphone lat last night, each man offered a stirring victory speech, albeit in contrasting styles. Obama seemed to recapture the spark of his soaring Democratic Convention oration, denouncing the partisan divide that reigns over America, and bringing his crowd to near frenzy. Watch.By contrast, Huckabee stuck with soft, dulcet tones, keeping Chuck Norris on the verge of tears. Like Obama, he spoke of defying the establishment, taking the country back for the people, and working to heal political division. Here's Mike:By and large, if you ...
