What's wrong with marriage?

A policeman in Rome doubted that an elderly couple, who were pulled over while attempting to have sex in the car while driving, are married.

Madonna on parenting...

Madonna: "'(Lourdes) is really obsessed with who is gay,' says Madonna in an interview in Out magazine's April issue. 'And she even asked, 'Mom, you know they say that you are gay?' And I'm, 'Oh, do they? Why?' And she says, 'Because you kissed Britney Spears.''

'And I said, 'No, it just means I kissed Britney Spears. I am the mommy pop star and she is the baby pop star. And I am kissing her to pass my energy on to her.'"

All I can say is, Madonna is very lucky she has Lourdes and not C, who would have asked in her best don't-give-me-that-crap-I'm-not-an-idiot little voice, "Ok then, will you kiss me like that then mommy (blink blink)?"

South Dakota Law Banning Most Abortions (HB 1215) Women’s Health and Human Life Protection Act

I know it's a silly thing, but I actually agree with everything this law says (except perhaps its title, which is somewhat self-serving).

In the news...

Here's a problem: Colorado Geography Teacher Jay Bennish uses the classroom to promote his views on politics.

Here's why it's a problem: Young minds can indeed be affected by such rubbish. "About 150 high school students walked out of class earlier Thursday to protest Bennish's suspension". Most held signs championing Mr. Bennish's right to free speech. Ok, we can't expect them to understand the real issue, but at least they know something about our constitution!

However, an alternative, and perhaps more believable, explanation for their outrage is that they may actually have to do some Geography work now...

Tastefully Yummy! (but slightly naughty)

This is probably one of the most interesting sites I've seen in the area of erotica. There is absolutely no nudity but its not for the kiddies.

Facettes De La Petite Mort means "Faces of the small death". It is a site dedicated to the beauty of human orgasm. Check it out!

IT's downside?

"Workers completed two-thirds of their work in an average day last year, down from about three-quarters in a 1994 study, according to research conducted for Day-Timers Inc., an East Texas, Pennsylvania-based maker of organizational products.

The biggest culprit is the technology that was supposed to make work quicker and easier, experts say."

"The least of these"

We have called it "justice" when the most defenseless among us have had the least protection from the whims of others.

At last there is some hope for change.

In the news...

Ya know, ordinarily I'd be defending President Bush when the press has a hayday with something like this, but when he bugs our citizens on the basis of their ties with certain countries and then offers to give the management of key U.S. ports to companies owned by these same countries, I just have to ask...what the fuck is going on???

This is either the most subtle stroke of genius ever conceived, the true aim of which remains hidden for the moment behind a well-crafted smoke screen, or it is the most crass, unbelievable act of arrogance ever perpetrated by a person in public office.

Honestly, I'm afraid to guess.

Willie's Pooch

In the news, Willie Nelson attempts to capitalize on all the hubbub being raised around Brokeback Mountain with his new song about gay cowboys. He and his label are careful to point out at the song was written back in the 80's - "long before Brokeback Mountain". For his blatant publicity stunt, which is working it would seem, he is being given credit in many circles as releasing the "first gay cowboy song by a major recording artist".

Well, first, even if the song was written a long time ago, which I sincerely doubt, it wasn't released until after Brokeback Mountain got all the hype. Second, it was admittedly recorded last year, when Willie would have been fully aware that one of his songs was going to be included in the Brokeback Mountain sound track. And finally, Willie Nelson is NOT the first major recording artist to release a song about gay cowboys. The Reverend Horton Heat released their thoughtful tune entitled Interracial Cowboy Homo Kinda Love several years back. This was a much more ambitious song which, obviously, took on several serious social issues at the same time. Now THAT is a song about gay cowboys!

If you think we should allow Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to go ahead and build a nuclear weapon for his theocratic government to wield against his neighbors, then ask yourself.

Would you want a nuclear weapon in the hands of Jerry Falwell?
