I got some bad news this morning. Click Baldwin died in Montana from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident that occurred on Tuesday morning. 

Click was riding a 2009 Harley-Davidson in Lolo, Montana when he had a collision with a 1999 Honda Civic. He hit the rear of the car and was thrown from his motorcycle and hit the pavement and then a road sign. He was rushed to Missoula, MT hospital where he underwent emergency surgery. He was pronounced dead around 11:30 EDT.
 

Click was known for owning the Carolina Harley-Davidson Buell motorcycle dealership in Gastonia, NC and was as a close friend of NASCAR driver Kyle Petty and others in the racing world. He supported many charitable organizations and fundraising events like Petty’s Annual Charity Ride, The Victory Junction Gang and the Speedway Children’s Charities. 

I met him a few times at his dealership when I was a member of that HOG chapter.  A nice man, and great business person.  If you get a minute today, think about his family.

John McCains campaign reps reported he had a “small growth” removed from his face over the weekend, and is doing fine.

He also had a larger, more irritating growth removed from his right butt cheek.

  Senator Graham is expected to make a full recovery.

The most well known spokesperson for Kabbalah is Madonna….which should tell you something about it.

Anyway, the woman that wants the world to embrace her religion and speaks of its benefits both to the soul as well as the body might not be the best “face” for the cult.

And THIS is the BEST A-Rod could do? 

I wake up everyday and look in the mirror so I know more than just a little about unattractive.  She, my friends, has seen better days. Wonder where that Mary Kay sales rep is?

Earlier this week I was watching the tube, when I heard something that blew my mind.  One of the apostles of the Church of Scientology, John Travolta, was explaining how disappointed he is with those of us still driving trucks and living in wooden homes. 

Yea, it seems John and quite a few of the Hollywood hooters are very very concerned with the environment and the fact they we, according to them, are not putting forth the effort they think we should.  In other words, we aren’ t  meeting their expectations.  Damn. I just hate that.

So being the artistic and sensitive type that I am, I said to myself, “self” what better way to live the proper way, than to emulate the standards and style of America’s leaders.  You know, celebrities.

So strap yourself in and lets take a quick spin thru some real estate that is un-real, because friends this is how the holier than thou in Hollywood are saving the world.

John Travolta built this $2.5 million dollar Florida Scientolohouse at the end of a private runway in Ocala, Florida, which includes parking for his Boeing 707 and Gulfstream jets. Oh, and a 16-car garage.

Billy Joel’s $35 million dollar, 7 bedroom modernist Miami mansion sits on a private island … and safely away from oncoming traffic.

Oprah’s got 14 bathrooms and 10 fireplaces in this $55 mil Montecito, CA estate.

Cher’s giant Malibu mansion can be seen from space.

Now, don’t you feel bad for even having air conditioning?

Earlier this year there was considerable speculation that Gov Mark Sanford was on the “short list” for the VP slot with John McCain.

Naturally, those expectingMcCains constant companion and political buttboy, Lindsay Graham to top the list, were surprised to hear Sandfords name in the discussions.

Check out this piece from Sunday’s talk shows.

Senator McCain….you can relax.
