Hulk Hogan and his wife are wrangling over how much money the celebrity wrestler is worth, and how much they each spend a month. According to financial affidavits filed in divorce court near Tampa.

Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, claims his net worth is $32 million.

His wife Linda disagrees. She claims it is $26.7 million.

The affidavits also lay out thier spending habits.

Linda Bollea spends $7,000 on clothing, another $7,500 on maid service, and about $1,700 on jewelry. That is each month.

Hogan also reports impressive monthly expenses, but none greater than the $38,000 he spends on legal fees.

WOW! 7 Grand on clothing each month? Sounds like my ex-wife, or at least what would have made her happy! Who could wear that many clothes? Are they one time use only?

I wonder what us regular folks think of this. Post your opinions here!

It is simply is NOT RIGHT to focus attention on Sarah Palins children without looking at Joe Bidens children too! So for your viewing pleasure:

Let's be fair!!!!!

I have seen it a few times tonight.

John McCain doesn't know how many houses he owns!

Is THAT all they got? How pathetic! The commercial said seven. Is that an accurate figure? I wonder.

Perhaps he could not remember the total when put on the spot because he may own homes, and his wife may be listed as the owner on one or more homes.

Is that even an issue? Apparently it is to Obama!

If that is all that pathetic little cub scout has to rag on, a landslide election is the future for McCain!

What are your thoughts on this? Should someone that has real estate holdings be put on the spot, and have to answer accurately even though there might be others in charge of accounting for thier holdings?

Do you think this should be an issue for American voters?

I love this show! One of the best series ever! Did you see it?

Totally awesome! Many new surprises, and more to come!

People worried about the high cost of keeping warm this winter will draw little comfort from the Farmer's Almanac, which predicts below average temperatures for most of the US.

"Numbs the word," says the 192 year old publication, which claims an accuracy rate of 80 to 85 percent for its forecasts that are prepared two years in advance.

The almanac's 2009 edition, which went on sale Tuesday, says at least two thirds of the country can expect colder than average temperatures this winter, with only the far west and southeast in line for near normal readings.

"This is going to be catastrophic for millions of people," said almanac editor Peter Geiger.

The almanac predicts above normal snowfall for the Great Lakes and Midwest, especially during January and February, and above normal precipitation for the Southwest in in December and for the Southeast in January and February. The Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions will likely have an unusually wet or snowy February, the almanac said.

Gorebal, um, I mean "global" warming at it again? LOL! What do you think?

Will you take the word of a 192 year old publication, with an 80-85 percent accuracy rate, or the bizzare theorys of an former vice president, with absolutely no meteorology education whatsoever?

Blog your opinions on this.

DAYTONA BEACH - Detectives went undercover at two adult nightclubs, arresting three dancers and a manager.

Two "detectives" watched as a dancer danced in the nude. They were joined by two more to observe this crime.

The manager was charged with violating the city's public nudity ordinance.

How pathetic the Daytona Beach Police department is. With two unsolved violent crimes in the heart of Daytona Beach, the Ocean Walk, and the parking garage area that supports the Ocean Walk area where these crimes, a rape and a shooting occurred, they would send FOUR detectives to a club that people go to SEE nudity!

Where do the prioritys of the Daytona Beach Police Department lie? Obviously they have nothing better to do than hang out in adult clubs on US 1, while letting the violent crime on A1A slide!

Chitwood is slipping. His prioritys are totally askew!

FOUR DETECTIVES IN A BLEEP BAR!

HOW MANY WERE IN THAT PARKING GARAGE, THAT TWO VIOLENT CRIMES HAPPENED IN LESS THAN TWO MONTHS?

I guess the assignments that are the most fun, get priority. Regardless of threat to society!

Any thoughts on this? Should adult clubs be the top priority over unsolved violent crime in the core tourist area?

As a lifelong Jets fan, I am very happy to see them get a veteran that will not choke under pressure. Something the Jets have not had in the quarterback position since Namath himself.

He will do good with the Jets, and for the Jets, and I truly believe they could go all the way this year because of him.

The only thing that has ever held them back was lack of a great quarterback!

Now they have Favre!

Do you think he will make a real difference, or should he have stayed retired?

I am thinking Super Bowl!

They will be the most interesting ever this time around.

I can't wait.

Obama will have to stand next to McCain and really answer questions this time. All his global trips, all his dancing around issues, will have have no meaning at all.

He will finally have to answer questions, that all Americans want to hear the answers to.

He is running around the world like he is already the president, but he avoids debate with anyone that is running against him.

That will not last. The debates this time will be the best ever.

We will see our next president clearly.

It will be fun! Any thoughts?

No one is more qualified to be our next Commander in Chief than John McCain!

This may seem as an easy question. But I do not only want to hear your choice of your favorite driver. I want to hear  WHY they are your favorite!

Who is your favorite NASCAR driver?

Why are they your favorite NASCAR driver?

Answer both questions please.

I am curious.

WASHINGTON-  The Supreme Court on Monday turned down a plea by environmental groups to rein in the Bush administration's power to waive laws and regulations to speed construction of a fence along the U.S. - Mexican border.

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff has used authority given to him by Congress in 2005 to ignore environmental and other regulations to move forward with hundreds of miles of fencing in Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas.

The case rejected by the court involved a two-mile section of fence in the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area near Naco, Arizona. The section has since been built.

As of June 13, 331 miles of fencing have been constructed in the afore mentioned four states.

"I am extremely disappointed in the court's decision," Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., said.

Thompson chairs the House Homeland Security Committee. He and 13 other House Democrats filed a brief in support of the environmentalists' appeal. 

Russ Knock, a spokesman for the Homeland Security Department, said: The American people expect this department to enforce the rule of law at the border. He added that the department is happy with the courts decision.

Are you happy with this decision? Or not happy with it?

What are your thoughts on this?

If you read my first post on this topic, you are up to date. So to continue.....

Three hundred feet below  France and Switzerland is a machine that could not only destroy the earth, but the universe as well!

This summer they will flip the switch on the Large Hadron Collider, the world's most powerful atom smasher.

Seventeen miles in circumference, it collides counter-rotating beams of protons and detects the showers of subatomic particles with precision detectors that are seven stories high.

The protons make 11,245 laps around the 17 mile beam tube each second!

Although the proton beam has a mass of only one ten-thousanth of a grain of sand, it is moving so close to the speed of light that it has the energy of a 30,000 pound fighter jet moving at 500 mph!

The control of the proton beam is such that it travels through a tube less than 3 inches in diameter.

The machine is designed to re-create conditions of the so called big bang theory. If it works as expected, it could be a crowning achievement in quantum physics.

However, many believe this machine could actually create a black hole, that will grow to not only swallow the earth, but eventually the entire universe as well!

So the question here, as before. Should they be allowed to start up this machine?

What if they are wrong? What if it does create a black hole that cannot be suppressed?

Does this handful of scientists have the right to gamble with the future of matter itself?

Once upon a time ago, it welcomed many people into this country, that wanted to come here to be Americans, and were willing to sacrifice everything to do that, and come here legally.

All my grandparents, paternal and maternal came here through Ellis Island, and were proud to be American, and I have nothing but pride in the way they came here and went through all the legal channels to gain the coveted American citizenship.

What does the statue mean today?  Nothing! We should pack it up and send it back to France!

Surprising coming from one that is French-Canadian eh? 

That statue today calls out to every illegal from ALL nationalitys to sneak into this country, and get benefits many American born citizens cannot get.

Including, but not limited to:

Free health care.

Welfare.

Food Stamps.

They can even get voting rights!

Does this statue really represent America anymore?

This statue has lost all meaning.

Am I wrong on this?

DENVER - The Libertarian Party on Sunday picked former Republican Rep. Bob Barr to be its presidential candidate after six rounds of balloting.

Barr beat research scientist Mary Ruwart, who also sought the party's presidential nomination unsuccessfully in 1983, on the final ballot. The vote was 324-276.

Barr endorsed Wayne Allyn Root, who was eliminated in the fifth round, to be his vice-presidential nominee.

Barr left the GOP in 2006 over what he called bloated spending and civil liberties intrusions by the Bush administration.

I have said he is the new Ross Perot already, and now he is officially in the race.

Do you think he will get the Democrats in office again, against all odds, like Perot did twice?

I think it is a good possibility, and I also think that is the only chance they have of winning.
