Short Biography
Born November 26, 1973, Peter Facinelli is perhaps best-known as the star of FOX`s 2002 television series Fastlane.But who can forget his role as Mike Dexter in Can`t hardly wait or religious Bob in the Big Kahuna where he was able to work along side Kevin Spacey and Danny Devito. Peter is very well rounded in the characters that he chooses to play, you never know what he is going do next. The 5`10" Facinelli grew up in Ozone Park, Queens, New York, in a family with a rich Italian-American heritage and where he had three older sisters which maybe helped him prepare for the Facinelli five as he and Jennie lovingly refer to their family.

Pelosi Slams Door on Jackson Resolution
By SUZANNE GAMBOA, AP
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi shut the door Thursday to a resolution honoring Michael Jackson because debate on the symbolic measure could raise "contrary views" about the pop star's life.
Lawmakers are free to use House speeches "to express their sympathy or their praise any time that they wish," said Pelosi, D-Calif.
