   Heart is pissed off.

   LOS ANGELES - The rock group Heart, angry that its 70’s hit “Barracuda” is being used as the unofficial theme song for Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin, is biting back at the Alaska governor.

   The song, a nod to the “Sarah Barracuda” nickname Palin earned on the basketball court in high school, was dusted off for her appearance at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul on Wednesday.

   Heart singers Ann and Nancy Wilson said a “cease-and-desist” letter has been sent to the Republicans asking them not to use the song.

   “The Republican campaign did not ask for permission to use the song, nor would they have been granted that permission,” according to a statement issued late on Thursday on behalf of the sisters.

   There was no immediate comment from the Republican camp.

   Last month, rocker Jackson Browne sued Republican presidential candidate John McCain, the Republican National Committee and the Ohio Republican Party, accusing them of using his 1977 hit “Running on Empty” in a campaign ad without permission.

   Copyright law may not be on the Wilsons’ side as the song is licensed for public performance under a blanket fee paid by the venue to ASCAP, the firm that collects royalties on behalf of composers and copyright owners.

    hahahah, why is it the Republicans NEVER ask the song owners for the rights? This is, like, the third time they’ve done that.

    LOS ANGELES - To mark Playboy’s 55th anniversary in January, the magazine has approached Lindsay Lohan about doing a nude pictorial, Access Hollywood has confirmed.

    But it appears even an offer of $700,000 couldn’t persuade the actress to bare her breasts.

    And while Lohan has been photographed sans top before — in last year’s tribute to Marilyn Monroe in New York magazine — she is now done posing for naked pictures.
    “She’d be happy to do the cover, but no nudity,” Lohan’s rep told Access.

    The theme for the proposed layout was based on “Kitten With a Whip,” which starred Ann-Margret, and is Lohan’s favorite film. But, as Lohan’s rep pointed out, there wasn’t any nudity in that film either.

    Her rep added that Lohan was “flattered” by the offer, but felt, at this point in her career, the 22-year-old doesn’t need to take her clothes off.

    Damn it, it better happen soon before she starts getting saggy.

    Did anyone else see this, from MC Lyte:

    Prior to today’s game, Jerry Manuel told reporters that Jon Niese will start on Tuesday against the Nationals in Shea Stadium.

    This, to me, whill be a much more telling sign of Niese’s potential, in that it is home, his second start, and, I am hesitant to say this, against the Nationals.

    Or, am I just late to the party?


18. Comment posted by Lunkwill Fook on September 5, 2008 at 4:58 pm (#832778)

    I hadn’t heard that, Banana. I wonder why they’re putting him in? With the days off in the schedule, I wouldn’t have thought they needed a fifth starter so soon.

    Rubin’s note contradicts that note above

    he said Ollie is starting tuesday, not niese

    Wagner throws, is ready for simulated game

    Billy Wagner already has thrown a bullpen session today, and feels ready at this point to face hitters Sunday, in what is expected to be a simulated setting at Shea. He said he gets stiffness, which is understandable and fine, but the elbow inflammation is gone. While the original estimate for activation was Tuesday, Wagner conceivably could wait until next weekend’s series against Atlanta.

    UPDATE: Jerry Manuel said Wagner’s first use may be in a non-save situation if he’s not going to pitch in a minor-league game.

    NEW YORK — David Spade is the father of a newborn girl.

    Spade’s representative said that Playboy playmate Jillian Grace is the mom. The baby was born Aug. 26 in Missouri.

    The actor-comedian plans to visit her on his first break from filming “Rules of Engagement.”

    Spade, who’s 44, had told TMZ.com earlier this year he had a brief relationship with Grace, and would accept responsibility if it’s confirmed he was the dad.

    haha from beerleaguer:

    Myers would beat the snot out of Pelfrey in a fight. I’m hoping he can at least outpitch him.

    lets hope pelfrey’s wife doesn’t try to intervene

    another philth fan:

    Tonight is a good matchup for us. The Mets really struggle against righties. One thing of concern is that the Phillies haven’t faced Pelfrey since he turned his season around in June. I hope our scouting reports have been updated.

    Posted by: PhillR | Friday, September 05, 2008 at 05:15 PM

    the thing about our lineup is that it really can be effective against both sides of the plate.

    versus righties:

    S reyes
    L murphy
    R wright
    L delgado
    S beltran
    L church
    S castillo
    L schneider

    and against lefties can go:

    S reyes
    R evans
    R wright
    S beltran
    L delgado
    R tatis
    R easley
    R cancel/ healthy castro (ps- any word on him?)

    and its not like we’re losing much with any of the changes


33. Comment posted by Dep on September 5, 2008 at 6:12 pm (#832793)

    its like they think we’re scared of -uchi guys

    maybe we are! Whatever

    PHILTH, TIME TO DIE


34. Comment posted by Dep on September 5, 2008 at 6:15 pm (#832794)

    Castro is a forgotten man, havent heard word one on him

    i think he’s toast

    Our OPS is only 40 pts lower vs righties (780ish vs 740ish)

    we rank 7th in the NL vs righties; 6th vs lefties

    ooooooooh, so different! whatever, we fear no one
