LOS ANGELES (AP) - Mr. Blackwell, the acerbic designer whose annual worst-dressed list skewered the fashion felonies of celebrities from Zsa Zsa Gabor to Britney Spears, has died. He was 86.

Publicist Harlan Boll says Blackwell died Sunday of complications from an intestinal infection.

Blackwell, whose first name was Richard, was a little-known dress designer when he issued his first tongue-in-cheek criticism of Hollywood fashion disasters for 1960—long before Joan Rivers and others turned such ridicule into a daily affair.

Year after year, he would take Hollywood's reigning stars and other celebrities to task for failing to dress in what he thought was the way they should.Mr. Blackwell will be buried in a baby shit yellow coat, a snot green dicky, a lovely pollester steaming cow pie brown shirt and no pants under the dinosaur hole at Sir Gooney Golf on Kingston Pike in Knoxville Tennessee.

THE JUXTAPOSITION OF FACTS....A USEFUL PERSPECTIVE.......

A question of perspective: Obama/Biden vs McCain/Palin, what if things were switched around?.. think about it.

Would the country's collective point of view be different? Could racism be the culprit?

Ponder the following:

What if the Obamas had paraded five children across the stage, including a three month old infant and an unwed, pregnant teenage daughter?

What if John McCain was a former president of the Harvard Law Review?

What if Barack Obama finished fifth from the bottom of his graduating class?

What if McCain had only married once and Obama was a divorcee?

What if Obama was the candidate who left his first wife after a severe disfiguring car accident, when she no longer measured up to his standards?

What if Obama had met his second wife in a bar and had a long affair while he was still married?

What if Michelle Obama was the wife who not only became addicted to pain killers but also acquired them illegally through her charitable organization?

What if Cindy McCain graduated from Harvard?

What if Obama had been a member of the Keating Five? (The Keating Five were five United States Senators accused of corruption in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the larger Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s.)

What if McCain was a charismatic, eloquent speaker?

What if Obama couldn't read from a teleprompter?

What if Obama was the one who had military experience that included discipline problems and a record of crashing seven planes?

What if Obama was the one who was known to display publicly, on many occasions, a serious anger management problem?

What if Michelle Obama's family had made their money from beer distribution?

What if the Obamas had adopted a white child?

You could easily add to this list. If these questions reflected reality, do you really believe the election numbers would be as close as they are?

This is what racism does. It covers up, rationalizes and minimizes positive qualities in one candidate and emphasizes negative qualities in another when there is a color difference.

Educational Background:

Barack Obama:
Columbia University - B.A. Political Science with a Specialization in International Relations.
Harvard - Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude

Joseph Biden:
University of Delaware - B.A. in History and B.A. in Political Science.
Syracuse University College of Law - Juris Doctor (J.D.)

vs.

John McCain:
United States Naval Academy - Class rank: 894 of 899

Sarah Palin:
Hawaii Pacific University - 1 semester
North Idaho College - 2 semesters - general study
University of Idaho - 2 semesters - journalism
Matanuska-Susitna College - 1 semester

Education isn't everything, but this is about the two highest offices in the land as well as our standing in the world. You make the call.

What a great weekend for UT. A win is a win.

At work more and more of my friends are talking about the election and at least they are going to vote, some for the first time.

Being East Tennessee, we are just about all republicans but we had a few from our side say they were going to vote for the "other guy" until General Powell came out for him.

If the man who sat at the big table at the UN and talked talked them into backing us on the WAR is now an Obama supporter then that is all it took for these turn coat republicans to come back over to McCain.

It is great to see the race becoming close again, never forget Carter had Ronnie until the last week!

This blog is racists and most of if not all of it is written for white, southern biggots who are worried a white man might win on the 4th of November.

Obama is the last chance we the USA have of redeeming our
respect in the rest of the world, we are hated by every country and most of our own citizens hate us because of what we have become.

We are not the country of Bill Clinton or Jimmy Carter and unless we all vote to get Obama elected we will pay the price around the world.

Biggoted blogs like this don't help at all.
