U.S. to offer Georgia $1 billion in aid Published: September 3, 2008 BAKU, Azerbaijan : The Bush administration plans to announce a $1 billion package of aid to help rebuild Georgia after its rout by Russian forces last month, an administration official said on Wednesday, as Vice President Dick Cheney arrived in the region to signal support for Georgia and other countries neighboring Russia. The aid - along with Cheney's visit - are sure to increase tensions with Russia, whose leaders have accused the United States of stoking the conflict with Georgia over its two separatist regions, by providing weapons and training to the Georgians. President Dmitri Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin have also complained that humanitarian supplies delivered by the U.S. Navy and Air Force since Russian forces routed Georgian forces and occupied parts of the country were a disguise for delivering new weapons. Administration officials have dismissed those accusations as baseless.

Health News Stem cells being used for bigger breasts Aug. 19, 2008 WASHINGTON, Aug. 19 (UPI) -- In one of the latest uses of human stem cells, cosmetic surgeons in Japan and Europe are using them for breast augmentation. Some surgeons in the United States also have begun using the procedure, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday. Advocates say the procedure, which uses fat harvested from elsewhere in a woman's body fortified with stem cells, results in breasts that look and feel more natural than those with silicone implants. But doctors worry the procedure may produce long-term problems, including breast cancer. Surgeons have tried to use fat to enlarge breasts for decades. But the fat would die. Advocates say stem-cell fortification allows the fat to develop blood vessels. Because the injected substance comes from the patient's body, she will not reject it. The Food and Drug Administration has not yet made a decision on the procedure. The FDA has no jurisdiction over surgical procedures but says fat mixed with stem cells would come under its purview.

McCain's VP -- Miss Alaska Loser Posted Aug 29th Before she was named McCain's Vice Presidential nominee today, no one except for the seven people who live in Alaska ever heard of Gov. Sarah Palin -- or that she came in second place at the 1984 Miss Alaska pageant.

Palin Daughter Baby Daddy -- "Don't Want Kids“ Posted Sep 2nd 2008 6:41AM by TMZ Staff Who knew there were rednecks in Alaska? Apparently there are, according to Levi Johnston, the guy who impregnated the daughter of GOP veep nominee Sarah Palin. He says so himself, on his MySpace page (which is now offline): "I'm a f***in' redneck," he wrote. "I live to play hockey ... I'll kick ass." Somewhat more troubling for 17-year-old Bristol Palin is the following: "I don't want kids." (Of course, what 18 year old really does?) Gov. Palin and her family announced yesterday that Bristol is pregnant, dispelling rumors Sarah's four-month old was in fact Bristol's.

Palin Babydaddy - Redneck to Redstater Posted Sep 3rd 2008 TMZ Staff The guy who will be the father of Gov. Sarah Palin's grandkid is getting dragged into the fray – he's going to the GOP convention today. Levi Johnston, who will be marrying Bristol Palin, left Alaska yesterday and will be joining the Palin fam in St. Paul, just in time for the Gov's big speech tonight. According to Levi's mom, the couple decided to get married before the big revelation of Bristol's pregnancy. Johnston was a star forward for the local high school hockey team, the Wasilla Warriors.

The phony $3 bills that were being hawked by GOP volunteers out at the Evergreen State Fair in Monroe. Featuring a picture of Barack Obama decked out in an Arab headdress with the words "da man" under his picture, the mocking merchandise was prominently displayed alongside the "proud republican" bumper stickers and the "Dino Rossi for Governor" paraphernalia. In addition to perpetuating the lie that Obama is a Muslim, the fake bill also has some openly racist aspects to it. Gerri Modell, the head of the Snohomish County Republican Party, says she had no idea how the bills magically appeared at the GOP's booth.

David Duchovny Rehabbing for Sex Addiction Aug 28, 4:21 PM ET The truth is out there, whether we want it or not. David Duchovny has checked into rehab to undergo treatment for sex addiction, E! News has confirmed. "I have voluntarily entered a facility for the treatment of sex addiction," Duchovny said in a statement released Thursday by his attorney, Stanton "Larry" Stein. "I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family." The 48-year-old X-Files star—who, ironically, won a Golden Globe this year for playing an over-sexed struggling writer on Showtime's Californication—has been married to Téa Leoni since May 1997. They have two children together, daughter Madelaine West, 9, and son Kyd Miller, 6. "All of us at Showtime wish David and his family the best during this very private time," Richard Licata, the network's executive VP of Corporate Communications, said in a statement to E! News. The second season of Californication, premiering Sept. 28, finished shooting late last month and 12 episodes are ready to go. Though it may have been awhile, this isn't the first time Duchovny's sex life has turned into a talking point. "I'm not a sex addict," he said in an interview with Playgirl in 1997. "I have never been to those meetings. It's hurtful to my family and if I was involved with a woman in a monogamous relationship, it would be hurtful to her. "There was another story claiming I was a neat freak. If I had to choose one of the two, I think I'd rather be a sex addict. It's not funny and I'll be glad when it goes away." Uncomfortably enough, Leoni herself quashed a rumor that her hubby was afflicted with a sex addiction back in May of 1998, telling Elle that she found the notion "very exciting." "David was accused of being a sex addict," Leoni, who had been married for one year at that point, said. "Which I always found very exciting. And then I found out it wasn't true." "Men are like bulls," she continued. "They gotta get the new cow. Maybe you've got to get the bull after he's had a lot of cows, so you might just be the last new one."
