‘Jeb 4 Prez’ says Pretzel choker
Former “President” George W. Bush told Parade Magazine in an interview published Friday that he hopes his brother, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, will run for president in 2016.
When asked if the country is ready for another Bush, he said, “That’s for Jeb to figure out, you know what I mean? I would hope that people would judge [him], if Jeb were to run, on his merits* and his track record.…So I hope he will run.”

Chicago Blackhawks: Our Madhome on Madison and Our National Anthem
There is no greater feeling than being at a Chicago Blackhawks game. While walking into the Madhouse (as the United Center is called) spectators see the history and culture surrounding the team that has been held so near and dear in homes across the Chicagoland area and the nation.
What makes Blackhawks games unique, and separates them from all other sports teams is without question the national anthem.

Minnesota Radio Moron: Families of the Sandy Hook victims should ‘go to hell’ for infringing “gun rights”
“I have something I want to say to the victims of Newtown, or any other shooting. I don’t care if it’s here in Minneapolis or anyplace else. Just because a bad thing happened to you doesn’t mean that you get to put a king in charge of my life. I’m sorry that you suffered a tragedy, but you know what? Deal with it, and don’t force me to lose my liberty, which is a greater tragedy than your loss. I’m sick and tired of seeing these victims trotted out, given rides on Air Force One, hauled into the Senate well, and everyone is just afraid — they’re terrified of these victims. … I would stand in front of them and tell them, ‘Go to hell.’” – Bob Davis, Minnesota Radio Host

“The Way, Way Back” – a movie with guts, heart and a breakout star: Liam James
Some of you may know Liam James from Psych or The Killing. If you do, kudos. I’d never heard of the 14-year-old actor before tonight. But I’ll tell you one thing: He carries the movie in which he stars (in theaters July 5), entitled The Way, Way Back.
Don’t get me wrong. There’s a stellar cast, which includes the always-remarkable Toni Collette, the lovely Amanda Peet (her character ain’t so lovely here), goofball Steve Carell (he plays hardball), and the exquisite Allison Janney, who gets all the funny — I mean snort-laugh funny — lines, and delivers them all just so in a martini glass served on a platinum tray.

Ann Curry’s final days at TODAY; staff makes fun of her; “professional torture” says Curry
It was no “picnic” for Ann Curry on the TODAY Show. We all know about “Mean Matt” by now.
But reporter Brian Stelter, who has written a book about morning talk-TV, sheds surprising new light on Curry’s final months on the show. After reading the report, one must wonder, did Ann work for high-ranking executives at a legitimate broadcasting company or for teens at a high-school-run cable access program?

Carol Burnett: Hip to be “Square”
The “char-lady,” Mrs. Wiggins, Eunice Harper Higgins…
Carol Burnett’s classic characters from her old CBS TV show retain their timeless comic spark despite the passing of the decades. This month the comedian turns—God bless us all—80 years old. She doesn’t look it. And I bet she still has the vocal prowess to execute her famous Tarzan yell.
This afternoon Burnett is to be feted when the intersection of Highland and Selma avenues in Hollywood is christened Carol Burnett Square. It’s right next to her alma mater, Hollywood High. According to playbill.com, the honoree is scheduled to attend the festivities.

How Charlie Cullen, a real-life version of Stephen King’s nurse / serial killer, was finally captured [AUDIO]
The heinous acts of registered nurse and serial killer Charlie Cullen seem to be lifted out of the pages of Stephen King’s Misery, but this story is anything but fictional.
Here’s a promotional description of the book:
“Cullen was dubbed “The Angel of Death” by the media. [SimplyShowbiz.com note: King's Annie Wilkes was nicknamed "The Dragon Lady."]
“But Cullen was no mercy killer, nor was he a simple murderer. He was a favorite son, husband, beloved father, best friend, and celebrated caregiver.
“Implicated in the deaths of as many as 300 patients, Cullen was perhaps the most prolific serial killer in American history.
