Mariah ties Elvis with 17th No. 1 single

I’ve never been a big Elvis fan either.

Mariah Carey moved a step closer to the Beatles’ record of 20 No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 Thursday as “Don’t Forget About Us” ascended one rung to the top of the singles chart in its 11th week.

With 17 chart-toppers, she now ties Elvis Presley at No. 2 on the all-time list, and becomes the only artist to post two No. 1 songs on the Hot 100 in 2005.

“Don’t Forget About Us” is also Carey’s 16th No. 1 as a songwriter, tying with Barry Gibb for third place. Only Paul McCartney with 32 and John Lennon with 26 have more. read more

Bushâ€™s Snoopgate

What an ass… This is from Newsweek via Americablog.

The president was so desperate to kill The New York Timesâ€™ eavesdropping story, he summoned the paperâ€™s editor and publisher to the Oval Office. But it wasnâ€™t just out of concern about national security.

Dec. 19, 2005 – Finally we have a Washington scandal that goes beyond sex, corruption and political intrigue to big issues like security versus liberty and the reasonable bounds of presidential power. President Bush came out swinging on Snoopgateâ€”he made it seem as if those who didnâ€™t agree with him wanted to leave us vulnerable to Al Qaedaâ€”but it will not work. Weâ€™re seeing clearly now that Bush thought 9/11 gave him license to act like a dictator, or in his own mind, no doubt, like Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War.

No wonder Bush was so desperate that The New York Times not publish its story on the National Security Agency eavesdropping on American citizens without a warrant, in what lawyers outside the administration say is a clear violation of the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. I learned this week that on December 6, Bush summoned Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger and executive editor Bill Keller to the Oval Office in a futile attempt to talk them out of running the story. The Times will not comment on the meeting, but one can only imagine the presidentâ€™s desperation. Read more

My Weekend Thus Far via in Links

I started my weekend visiting a fellow artist. That evening it was fine dining and music with friends.

And a full evening of music it was with a first act, a second act, and the headliner. A good time was had by all.

Saturday morning I waiting in line an hour , to spread some cheer to my family, then had lunch. That evening we first headed out to an open studio, and then went to a holiday party. More good times were had by all.

Today I’m going to relax.
