ISIS members are destroying priceless statues, some dating to 3,000 years old. The reason? They are pagan and Islam is against anything pagan, even calling for the deaths of heathens who refuse to convert. However, watch how fast some of the queens here come to the defense of ISIS in order to bash Christianity.
Madonna on age jokes: No-one would dare say that about being gay 27th February 2015, 12:37 PM, Nick Duffy Madonna has attacked jibes about her age – claiming people wouldn’t dare make “degrading remarks” about sexuality. The singer took a tumble at the BRIT Awards on Wednesday, when a dance routine went awry during a live performance. The internet quickly filled with jokes about the 56-year-old following the mishap – when a backing dancer pulled her over by her cape. Speaking to Rolling Stone, Madonna attacked the hurtful jibes about her age – comparing it to homophobia and racism. She said: “It’s still the one area where you can totally discriminate against somebody, and talk s**t. Because of their age. Only females, though. Not males. No one would dare to say a degrading remark about being black or dare to say a degrading remark on Instagram about someone being gay.” “But my age – anybody and everybody would say something degrading to me. And I always think to myself, why is that accepted? “What’s the difference between that and racism, or any discrimination? They’re judging me by my age. I don’t understand. “I’m trying to get my head around it. Because women, generally, when they reach a certain age, have accepted that they’re not allowed to behave a certain way. “But I don’t follow the rules. I never did, and I’m not going to start.” Earlier this month, the singer joined hook-up app Grindr to chat to her gay fans.
"Thunderbirds back in action" The first image of characters from the rebooted Thunderbirds series has been released, with the former marionettes now replaced by trim and toned animations. Fan reaction has been mixed, with some embracing the update and others missing the traditional look (and visible strings, apparently) of the original. Produced by ITV Studios and Pukeko Pictures with CGI produced by Weta Workshop, who did the effects for Lord Of The Rings, The Hobbit and Avatar, the 26-part series commissioned for ITV is due to air this year.

Rebel Heart release date: Friday, March 6. Roundup thus far: The tracks got leaked. Madonna got sucked into Twitter wars about her use of altered photos of black civil rights heroes to flog the album's theme. And the lead single Living For Love has so far failed to reach the Billboard Hot 100. She performed it live at the Grammys, to mixed reviews. Last time we did this (MDNA), Madonna did manage to eke out one week at the #1 spot. (Billboard album chart) Can she do it again?

She has REALLY done it now. The French are outraged over this, as is the UK, whose media has been running with this today. She really did take a blow to the head Wednesday night... "Singer says antisemitism at an all-time high and laments France’s lost tradition of welcoming diversity" Madonna has lashed out at intolerance in Europe, saying it is now so high in France and across the continent that “it feels like Nazi Germany”. Speaking to French radio station Europe 1 in an interview to be aired on Friday morning, Madonna said “antisemitism is at an all-time high” in France and elsewhere in Europe, and likened the atmosphere to the period when German fascism was on the ascent. “We’re living in crazy times,” the 56-year-old singer said, calling the situation “scary,” and lamenting what she described as France’s lost tradition of welcoming diversity and honouring freedom. “It was a country that embraced everyone and encouraged freedom in every way, shape or form – artistic expression of freedom,” Madonna said. “Now that’s completely gone. “France was once a country that accepted people of colour, and was a place artists escaped to, whether it was Josephine Baker or Charlie Parker.” In fact, Parker only visited France briefly to play concert engagements, and unlike jazz legends such as Bud Powell, Kenny Clarke and Dexter Gordon, never took up French residency. The globally acclaimed entertainer also spoke out in 2012 when she denounced the rise of xenophobia and extreme-right parties in Europe. She said her earlier comments were made when “I was receiving a lot of criticism and threats from Marine Le Pen” and her National Front party, which Madonna described as “fascist”. The singer’s spat with Le Pen began after the far-right leader threatened to sue Madonna over a video featuring an image of Le Pen with a swastika on her forehead. The offending symbol was eventually replaced with a question mark to avoid litigation. But Madonna said in the interview that the motives that led her to speak out against intolerance in 2012 were even more pressing today. “What I said two years ago is valid today,” she said. “It’s not just happening in France, it’s all over Europe. But particularly in France. “The level of intolerance is so enormous it’s scary.”

Weeks before the Oscars were handed out Sunday, studios were already taking meetings with awards consultants for next year’s best picture contenders. What movies might we be hearing about again (and again ... and again) later this year? An early stab at a top 10, in alphabetical order: “Brooklyn,” (Fox Searchlight, release TBA): Searchlight paid $9 million at Sundance for this exquisite immigrant love story — and that might end up being a bargain price. Set in 1950s New York, it follows a homesick Irish woman (Saoirse Ronan) struggling to adapt to her new life until she meets a sweet Italian plumber (Emory Cohen). It’s beautifully crafted, emotionally turbulent and sports a superb lead turn by the 20-year-old Ronan, making good on the promise she first showed in “Atonement.” “Carol,” (The Weinstein Co., fall): The latest from Todd Haynes (“Far from Heaven”), a drama about a married woman (Cate Blanchett) embarking on a lesbian romance with a younger woman (Rooney Mara) in the early 1950s, will likely premiere at Cannes this May. “Demolition,” (Fox Searchlight, fall): Director Jean-Marc Vallee (“Dallas Buyers Club,” “Wild”) knows how to win Oscar nominations for his actors, which might mean Jake Gyllenhaal will finally get his due for this drama about an investment banker widower whose world is changed when he meets a single mother (Naomi Watts). “In the Heart of the Sea,” (Warner Bros., Dec. 11): Ron Howard’s historical thriller about the 1820 sinking of the whaleship Essex was moved to a prime awards release date after being initially slated for March. The studio has a strong history of turning quality commercial movies (“Argo,” “American Sniper”) into Oscar contenders. “Joy,” (20th Century Fox, Christmas): David O. Russell. Jennifer Lawrence. They’ve been to the dance together twice before (“Silver Linings Playbook,” “American Hustle”), so why doubt this biographical dramedy about the Long Island single mom who invented the Miracle Mop? “Money Monster,” (TriStar, TBA): George Clooney plays a self-serving TV stock huckster (paging Jim Cramer!) taken hostage by a gunman on air and forced to come clean. Jodie Foster directs; Julia Roberts costars. Expect Clooney to have plenty of fun promoting this one. “The Revenant,” (20th Century Fox, Christmas): In between stocking his mantle with awards, “Birdman” director-producer-writer Alejandro G. Inarritu spent the past few months shooting this revenge-themed western about a frontiersman (Leonardo DiCaprio) mauled by a bear and left

We've lived together for two years. I own the condo where we live, and he pays about 75% of what a roommate would pay, far less than half of expenses. I also usually pick-up about that same ratio of daily expenses, like dinner, movies, vacations and so forth. I paid to furnished the place, though we shopped for furnishings together. It just seems odd that he brought this up. Things seem to be going well as they are. Occasionly he tells me he did something with his money, like invested much of it in a certain mutual fund, or bought stock in the company where I work, or is researching real estate in the neighborhood. Otherwise, we don't talk about each other's money. I declined to open the joint account, and it's the only thing I've ever denied him or we've argued about. What do you think?

Zendaya has forgiven Giuliana Rancic after she issued an apology earlier this week after commenting about her 2015 Oscars hairstyle. Here’s what the 18-year-old actress wrote on Instagram: [quote]Studies have shown that even though we try to act without prejudice, sometimes it’s just hidden inside us due to our past or surrounding. That hidden prejudice is often influential in our actions. it’s our job to spot these issues within others and ourselves and destroy them before they become hurtful. I have so many people looking up to me, that I couldn’t be scared, wait it out, nor could I just stand up for me; I had to do it for WE. It is in important in this journey, to remember that just because someone has inflicted hurt upon us, it does not give us the right to do the same. [quote]Body shaming and other hurtful tactics will never get the job done. As hard as it was to stop MYSELF from being ignorant and from posting the first mean words that came to my mind because I was hurt, I had to think about the bigger picture. Instead, I sat for two hours on my phone, doing my research and formulating an educated response. [quote]Giuliana, I appreciate your apology and I’m glad it was a learning experience for you and for the network. I hope thatothers negatively affected by her words can also find it in their hearts to accept her apology as well. From a quote we all know by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., "Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out have; only love can do that.’ Let’s be that light and spread that love.” - All this because someone associated her fugly dreadlocks with patchouli and weed.

ISIS ate the last donut out of the Entenmann's box and didn't tell anyone, sources tell us. This comes only weeks after ISIS ate all of the Fruit Loops and used the last drop of skim milk without replacing either one, nor did they tell mom that they did it. Mom would have bought more at the store, but instead we had to eat breakfast the next day without milk and we had to eat Thomas's "Everything" mini bagels, which give some of us a stomach ache. "This is why we cant have nice things," cried ISIS's grandmother, who was a WAC during the Vietnam war. "I fought for my country and this is how I get treated!" Dad pointed out that grandma had been a nurse, and thus was not a combatant during the war. She was stationed at Fort Bragg. ISIS snickered and deliberately stepped on the cat's tail.
Donald Trump tells strategists 'you're hired' for potential 2016 presidential run The real-estate mogul insists this time his ambitions are for real, telling the Washington Post ‘I’m doing this because the country is in serious trouble’ Tom McCarthy in New York, Wednesday 25 February 2015 21.35 GMT For once, he’s hiring. The real-estate mogul Donald Trump, as famous for firing people on reality television as for anything else, has announced that he is adding staff in what he insists is really, this time, a serious look at a presidential run. Trump described preparations he is making for a purported potential presidential run in an interview with the Washington Post. He has, he said, “enlisted several strategists”; “retained an attorney”; “alerted GOP officials”; and turned down a renewal season of Celebrity Apprentice. An early obstacle Trump would face, should he indeed decide to run for the Republican nomination for president in 2016, would be wariness on the part of voters who have heard him talk before about such a run without ever seeing one materialize. In 2008 and again in 2012, Trump touted the possibility over months of statements in the media. But then he did not run. By trusting his stated intentions once again, the electorate could risk being made a Charlie Brown, taking one more run at kicking the football only to see it, at the last minute, being pulled away again. In the past, politicians such as Newt Gingrich, Mike Huckabee and Sarah Palin have been accused of running for president or talking about running for president in order to sell books or burnish a personal brand, instead of actually to win the presidency. Trump is said to enjoy being at the center of attention, which is where his talking about running for president sometimes places him, although he has other ways of getting there. Trump told the Post he was serious this time. “Everybody feels I’m doing this just to have fun or because it’s good for the brand,” Trump said. “Well, it’s not fun. I’m not doing this for enjoyment. I’m doing this because the country is in serious trouble.” Next stop: Iowa.

[italic]Perth teen idol Troye Sivan had a Hollywood gig at age 13, a lead role opposite John Cleese at 14 and a recording contract on his 18th birthday - all after a career "failure" at 12. How, exactly?[/italic] To most shoppers out at Perth's Murray Street Mall, 19-year-old Troye Sivan probably looks like any other local teenager - albeit an elvishly pretty one - out running errands with his mum and little brother. But to girls of a certain age (say, 12 to 17), Sivan seems to exist on a different plane altogether. Sporting his trademark quiff and oversized T-shirt promoting Tumblr, he could be a good 100 metres away and still the girls somehow sense him, the way birds detect unseen disturbances in their immediate environment. Soon enough - in Topshop and City Beach; outside Fossil and the newsagency - Sivan is surrounded by teenage girls in the process of thoroughly losing their minds. To be fair, most of them are lovely and sane, asking Sivan to pose with them in selfies before running off for a private group squeal. [bold]But on other days, Sivan's fans have proper, pituitary-induced meltdowns. Some scream at his face point blank, while others shed hot, silent tears.[/bold] Last Halloween, fans tracked down Sivan's home address and waited outside the front door, calling out tauntingly, "Trick or treee-eeat?" Troye's younger brother Tyde - who has a face that belongs in Dolly magazine and is fast becoming famous in his own right - deadpans that it was more like "Troye or Tyyy-yyde?" The brothers spent the evening hiding indoors, held hostage in their own home. [bold]Later, Sivan tells me that this kind of behaviour is why he avoids being near local schools after 4pm.[/bold] Sivan's mother, Laurelle, adds that she's in the process of having their home de-listed from the White Pages. [bold]As Laurelle and her sons go up the escalators at David Jones, she whispers to Sivan, "Look." Down by the fragrance section, a primary school-aged girl clutches her mum's hand, staring at Sivan as if she's seen Jesus, or a well-groomed unicorn. Ever the vigilant teen celebrity, Sivan runs back down the escalators to beckon her over, as if to say, "It's okay."[/bold] As Sivan and the girl pose for a photo, her mother smiles at us, happily baffled. "Sorry, I don't have any idea who you are," she says. "But clearly you're someone very exciting for my children." If you don't know who Troye Sivan is, either - never heard of the guy - then congratulations. You are officially old. (Don't worry: I fell into this category before writing this story, too.) [bold]Or, at the very least, you're not a teenage girl or young gay man living in the developed world, the two main demographics obsessed with this South African-born, modern-day triple-threat (singer-songwriter, actor, vlogger) from Perth.[/bold] You're also not one of Sivan's 3.1 million-plus YouTube subscribers who follow his weekly vlog updates, 2.4 million Twitter followers, 2.1 million Instagram fans, 1.3 million Facebook followers or his myriad fans who bought [bold]his first major record label EP (the über-catchy yet infuriatingly unpronounceable TRXYE), which rocketed to No. 1 in the iTunes charts in 58 countries.[/bold] (Note: 58 countries roughly represents a third of the countries in the world.)

A Texas congressman introduced a bill Thursday that would ask the president to posthumously award the Medal of Honor to Chris Kyle, a Navy SEAL whose life was chronicled in the movie “American Sniper.” Rep. Roger Williams, Texas Republican, said Kyle should receive the Medal of Honor for his actions during Operation Iraqi Freedom that saved “countless American lives.” “There is no doubt that this true American hero is worthy of our nation’s highest military honor,” Mr. Williams said in a statement. “While the Medal of Honor will not bring back a husband, father, son and a model Texan, we owe Chris Kyle and his family a great deal of gratitude for his relentless devotion to his country.” Kyle is credited with being the deadliest sniper in American history. He was killed two years ago when a veteran he brought to a gun range who was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder turned the gun on Kyle. The veteran, Eddie Ray Routh, was found guilty earlier this week and sentenced to life in prison. The Medal of Honor must be awarded by the president, but there is historical precedent for members of Congress offering legislation to encourage the president to award the medal to certain individuals, Mr. Williams‘ office said in a statement.

Despite disapproval from the American people and his own country, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu still intends to speak before Congress on March 3rd in an effort to sabotage President Obama. But the White House isn’t going to let him get away with it and Israel stands to lose big time. For years, Netanyahu has constantly whined that Iran is seeking a nuclear weapon to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth, which is pretty ironic considering Israel has made an effort to exterminate Palestinians. Rather than commit US blood and treasure to a catastrophic war against Iran, President Obama has slapped them with sanctions and has opened diplomatic relations in the hopes of maintaining peace by preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon while allowing the use of nuclear power to generate energy. Clearly, however, Netanyahu isn’t pleased by this. He would rather see American troops start World War III and risk their own lives while American taxpayers foot the bill for it instead of Israelis. Republicans are also hawkish when it comes to Iran and they have pledged allegiance to a foreign leader instead of their own president. The GOP hates President Obama so much that House Speaker John Boehner blatantly broke US law to secretly invite Netanyahu to speak to a joint session of Congress so they could embarrass the president together. In turn, the White House promised that there would be a price to pay for this total lack of respect. “There are things you simply don’t do,” a White House official said in January. “He spat in our face publicly and that’s no way to behave. Netanyahu ought to remember that President Obama has a year and a half left to his presidency, and that there will be a price.” And now, the White House is bringing the hammer down. According to the AP, President Obama is considering multiple options to fire back against Netanyahu. Among them: a presidential interview with a prominent journalist known for coverage of the rift between Obama and Netanyahu, multiple Sunday show television appearances by senior national security aides and a pointed snub of America’s leading pro-Israel lobby, which is holding its annual meeting while Netanyahu is in Washington, according to the officials. … But the White House is now doubling down on a cold-shoulder strategy, including dispatching Cabinet members out of the country and sending a lower-ranking official than normal to represent the administration at the annual policy conference of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the officials said.” Among the high level executive officials giving Netanyahu the cold-shoulder includes Vice-President Joe Biden, who would usually attend such a speech as part of his Senate President duties. However, Biden basically told Netanyahu to go f*ck himself by announcing his intention to be out of the country on that particular day. And that’s not all. The White House is also considering snubbing AIPAC, which would be huge since administrations usually send top foreign policy officials to represent the White House. The White House isn’t just angry about Netanyahu’s speech and his effort to sabotage diplomatic talks, they are also furious about Israel leaking details of the talks in an effort to demonize and derail them, even though nothing has been finalized, and won’t be until at least the end of March when a framework is tentatively scheduled to be in place. That’s why Israel is now being left out of the loop on negotiations. The White House and State Department have both publicly accused Israeli officials of leaking “cherry-picked” details of the negotiations to try to discredit the administration. And, in extraordinary admissions this week, the administration acknowledged that the U.S. is withholding sensitive details of the talks from Israel, its main Middle East ally, to prevent such leaks. Netanyahu needs to cancel this speech or his country needs to intervene and cancel it for him before it is too late. This act of disrespect is an effort to undermine President Obama’s authority on US soil, even though voters elected Obama to be their leader, NOT Netanyahu. This violation of protocol is so bad that even Fox News expressed shock and outrage that Republicans would disrespect President Obama in this way. This is a deliberate attempt to wreck crucial diplomatic negotiations with Iran that could peacefully prevent them from getting a nuclear weapon. But Netanyahu and Republicans oppose peace because what they want is a bloody and costly war. Only Netanyahu would rather Israel not be the country to fight it or pay for it. President Obama is done taking sh*t from the GOP and Netanyahu. After all, we are Israel’s greatest ally. They NEED us. We do NOT need them. Netanyahu is directly threatening our own national autonomy. Republicans seem to think Netanyahu is our real president, and frankly, it appears Netanyahu thinks he is as well. But he is overplaying his hand and crossing a line that should result in far steeper consequences for him and his tiny nation. It’s time to re-evaluate the “friendship” between our nation and Israel. Israel receives $3 billion in defense spending every year from the pockets of American taxpayers. This should be terminated immediately. Furthermore, if Israel wants to act like a bully, we should treat them like one. We’re talking about a nation that deliberately killed innocent Palestinian children in multiple attacks that killed thousands of human beings while multiple Israeli officials called for committing actual genocide. You know, like Hitler did to Jews during World War II. Last time I checked, we went to war with Germany and prosecuted Nazi officials for committing these atrocities. We didn’t send them billions of dollars and call them our friends. The talks with Iran are crucial to keeping American troops from having to sacrifice their lives in yet another pointless war in the Middle East. A war, I might add, that hasn’t even started yet and won’t be started unless a war monger named Benjamin Netanyahu gets his way because of the temper tantrum he is about to throw in front of Congress and the American people. Israel is also committing hypocrisy. As Netanyahu whines about Iran, the fact is that Israel has a nuclear weapons program of their very own. And Israel has repeatedly refused to allow the International Atomic Energy Agency to inspect their nuclear facilities. They’ve already demonstrated their willingness to commit genocide Muslims. A nuclear weapon only makes it easier to do so. It’s no wonder why Iran would want a nuclear weapon of their own. They fear a strike by an aggressive neo-con dominated Israel. How can we be sure Israel won’t be the nation that pushes the button to set the world on fire? If we are going to insist that Iran not have a nuclear weapon, then we should also insist that Israel give up their own in the interest of international security, safety, and peace. And if they don’t comply, they should be hit with the same sanctions Iran has been subject to. Israel and Netanyahu need to learn the hard way that you can’t insult a sitting US President and abuse the far too close relationship between our two governments without consequences. President Obama is the elected leader of the United States. Netanyahu is not. By disrespecting our president, Israel disrespects us and that cannot be allowed to stand.

Chase Merritt was Joseph McStay's business associate, he has been arrested and charged with the murders of the McStay family. Some are speculating that there was something more than friends going on between Joseph and Chase. The way he talks about Joseph seems kind of intimate to me. I think Chase might have been into him. What's your take on him? Some video footage of Merritt:
But yet as much detail as the New York Times story has on so many aspects of his life, it mentions nothing about the legitimate news speculation of him being gay and closeted and him shutting down his Twitter and Instagram accounts when it was discovered that he was following 19-year old diver Tom Daley. Or why he voted against marriage equality and against the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell. Come on, NY Times!

California couple, married 67 years, die holding hands Reuters, 27 Feb 2015 at 08:46 ET A California couple, married 67 years, died hours apart while holding hands this month, their daughter said on Thursday. Floyd Hartwig, 90, and wife Violet, 89, died on Feb. 11 in their home in Easton, California, outside Fresno, their family said. The couple had known each other since they were children and married in 1947 while Floyd was on leave from the Navy, going on to settle in a ranch in Easton. “They enjoyed working side by side their entire lives,” said daughter Donna Scharton. “They were very loving. Very hard-working. Not into materialistic things.” Each had battled illnesses in recent years. Violet had dementia and had suffered strokes. Floyd, who survived bladder and colon cancer, had been diagnosed with kidney failure, family said. Floyd and Violet had been given hospice care in the last weeks of their lives, and with the end near, family members pushed their beds together, Scharton said. Floyd died first, holding Violet’s hand. She passed away five hours later, she said. “They were very devoted to each other and had a lot of respect for each other,” Scharton said of their long marriage. The couple had three children, four grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren, family said. Violet, known as “Vi,” would wake up at 4 a.m. through much of her life to tend to her family and the ranch, “sewing, cooking, gardening, and volunteering for the PTA,” according to her daughter and her obituary. Floyd spent six years in the Navy and served in World War Two, his obituary said.

In a wide-ranging interview with Rolling Stone, timed before the release of his new album, singer-musician Kid Rock talked about buying guns before “Obummer” banned them, pop diva Beyoncé, and called 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney “the most decent motherf*cker I’ve ever met in my life.” Rock, whose real name is Bob Ritchie, invited Rolling Stone writer Patrick Doyle out to his 500-acre Alabama estate — situated right near a property owned by Hank Williams Jr. — where he discussed his career and his ‘Red State’ values. Prior to traversing the property where Rock had trapped three wild pigs he intended to shoot (“We’re about to do some murderous shit”), he showed off his gun collection, including a .22 rifle, two custom .45 pistols with ivory handles displayed in a case reading “American Badass Set,” and a semiautomatic with a silencer. According to Rock, the semiautomatic is similar to the ones the Secret Service carries and he purchased it using a loophole after President Obama came into office. “You have to get these pre-1985 with a silencer. I bought it when Obummer came into office, because I’m thinking, ‘What if he f*ckin’ bans guns?’ ,” he explained. Showing the writer the three wild pigs he had trapped in a pen — explaining that they are not native to the area and over-reproduce — Rock and his girlfriend Audrey proceeded to shoot the penned animals, with Rock exclaiming, “His ass is done,” after shooting one. Turning to the music scene, Rock related how his father, – a owned a Lincoln-Mercury dealership in his native Michigan — didn’t approve of his son’s career choice, asking him, “‘Why would you want to be a n****r?” Rock admitted that has last album, Rebel Soul, was a flop, and seemed bewildered by the popularity of Beyoncé. “Beyoncé, to me, doesn’t have a f*cking ‘Purple Rain,’ but she’s the biggest thing on Earth. How can you be that big without at least one ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ or ‘Old Time Rock & Roll’?” he said. “People are like, ‘Beyoncé’s hot. Got a nice f*cking ass.’ I’m like, ‘Cool, I like skinny white chicks with big tits.’ Doesn’t really f*cking do much for me.” The rocker, who is now 43 with a son in college, admits that he has settled down from his hard partying days when he admits, “I’d be driving the field trip Monday after I banged, like, four hookers. Well, not hookers, but, you know, four nice girls on Saturday night in Cincinnati.” Now he hobnobs with conservative politicians; describing Mitt Romney as “the most decent motherf*cker I’ve ever met in my life,” and texting with former Alaska governor Sarah Palin. Rock even admitted he has a membership at golfer Jack Nicklaus’ private Bear’s Club, near Palm Beach, Florida, saying, “If you told me five years ago I’d have to take my hat off and tuck my shirt in, I’d have slapped the taste out of your mouth. Now I’m like, ‘Look at me, hair slicked back, shirt tucked in.’ I’m like, ‘What a fag!’” Rock intends to go out on the road promoting his new album, First Kiss, saying he plans to keep ticket prices down — blaming Ticketmaster and calling them “F*ckin’ whores” — and saying he is fully aware who his audience is these days. “45-50-year-old girls wearing extra-large T-shirts — they’re my bread and butter,” He said. ” They know how to f*cking party — ‘I don’t give a f*ck, I’m making a T-shirt and putting sequins on it. I’m saving my money for beer and having a good time.’”

Iowa authorities arrested Jennifer Jane Olney on Tuesday after she kicked her daughter while under the influence… of hand sanitizer. Yes, hand sanitizer. The 48-year-old woman is being charged with child endangerment. Police initially arrived at Olney’s home after they received a tip regarding a possible medication and hand sanitizer overdose. (You can overdose on hand sanitizer? Mind blown.) Once inside the residence, cops noticed Olney slurring her speech and in no condition to care for her daughter. According to the report, the sloppy mother was ordered to check herself into a hospital or turn her child over to human services. That’s when she kicked her daughter’s leg and was arrested on the spot. Olney’s daughter was put in her grandfather’s care while she was taken to the Polk County jail, where she’s being held on $3,000 bond.

2/26/15 6:15 PM EST Bill O'Reilly has been accused by former colleagues of fabricating his experiences at the 1992 Los Angeles race riots, the fourth instance in the last week in which the Fox News host has been accused of embellishing or lying about his past. In a new report, The Guardian cites six of O'Reilly's former 'Inside Edition' colleagues who said they did not recall an incident in which, as O’Reilly has claimed, “concrete was raining down on us” and “we were attacked by protesters”. “It didn’t happen,” Rick Kirkham, Inside Edition's lead reporter on the riots, told The Guardian. “If it did, how come none of the rest of us remember it?” In 2006, O'Reilly said rioters "were throwing bricks and stones at us... Concrete was raining down on us. The cops saved our butts that time.” Earlier this week, O'Reilly told radio host Hugh Hewitt, “We were attacked, we were attacked by protesters, where bricks were thrown at us.” A spokesperson for Fox News responded to The Guardian's report with the same statement the network has issued in response to previous reports. "Bill O’Reilly has already addressed several claims leveled against him," the spokesperson said. "This is nothing more than an orchestrated campaign by far left advocates Mother Jones and Media Matters. Responding to the unproven accusation du jour has become an exercise in futility. Fox News maintains its staunch support of O’Reilly, who is no stranger to calculated onslaughts." This is the fourth report to allege that O'Reilly fabricated his experiences as a reporter. The first, published last week by the left-leaning magazine Mother Jones, alleged that O'Reilly lied about being in "a war zone" and seeing people "killed" during the Falklands War in 1982. O'Reilly called the report "garbage," defended the characterization of a violent protest in Buenos Aires as "combat zone," and said a precise casualty count was impossible to come by. The second report, published earlier this week by the liberal watchdog group Media Matters, alleged that O'Reilly repeatedly lied about being present at the suicide of Lee Harvey Oswald associate George S. de Mohrenschildt. O'Reilly did not respond directly to that report. The third report, published Thursday by Media Matters, charged that O’Reilly repeatedly lied about witnessing nuns being shot in El Salvador. In a statement, O'Reilly said that he was referring to images of the murdered nuns when he said, "I saw nuns get shot in the back of the head."

Removed from ventilator, Bobbi Kristina Brown's condition unchanged: source Thu Feb 19, 2015 3:05pm EST (Reuters) - Doctors have taken Bobbi Kristina Brown, daughter of late singer Whitney Houston, off the ventilator that has helped her breathe since she was found unresponsive in a bathtub last month, but no decisions have been made to take her off life support, a family source said on Thursday. The source, who declined to be identified, said Brown's overall condition has not changed. Removing the breathing tube was a standard course of practice to avoid infection, the source said. Family members have said Brown, 21, the only child of singers Bobby Brown and Houston, is fighting for her life at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta after she was discovered on Jan. 31 face down and unresponsive in a bathtub in her suburban home. They have said little about the aspiring singer's treatment or medical prognosis, and Bobby Brown has asked for privacy. Police in Roswell, Georgia, are treating the case as a criminal investigation and have been questioning people about the circumstances leading up to Brown being found in the tub. Brown's famous mother, a six-time Grammy Award winner and actress who battled substance abuse, drowned in a hotel bathtub in Beverly Hills, California, on Feb. 11, 2012. Authorities said cocaine use and heart disease contributed to Houston's death at age 48.

So I was at Steamworks last Friday and there were several fellows dressed in their leather duds. Chaps, straps, caps, etc. They strutted around the joint like they owned it. A few of them even put on a bit of a show in front of the DJ booth. They stood on the bench and proceeded to perform on each other for the delight of those gathered to watch.%0D\ %0D\ It occured to me then and there that leather men are really no different than drag queens. It''s just another kind of dressing up, acting out, and performing. It''s a bit of fun and fantasy for a night. "Dress up and put on a show" kind of thing. %0D\ %0D\ And the sense of entitlement they have is similar to that of drag queens in bars. %0D\ %0D\ I''ve never been to a leather fair but I can only assume it''s similar in purpose to a drag ball.%0D\ %0D\ So, am I right or am I right?

Every black guy I've been with talks about his cock like its the greatest thing since sliced bread. They ask me shit like if I've ever been with a black guy and make comments about how big it and how sore I'll be. Usually when the zipper comes down I'm very disappointed. Most of the black cock I've seen has been average to small. One guy from Martinique had one nearly as big as my forearm. Seriously. So I guess my question is why do these tinymeat black guys all lie?

Final Glee episode pays tribute to Cory Monteith, says Kevin McHale By Harry Fletcher Friday, Feb 20 2015, 12:27pm EST Kevin McHale has spoken about the upcoming Glee finale. The actor revealed that the final episode of the sixth and final series of the Fox show will pay tribute to his former co-star, the late Cory Monteith. Speaking to Access Hollywood, McHale said: "I think [Finn] is always remembered and especially at a time like this at the very end, there will definitely be some sort of mention of him. "He'll be involved in some way." Monteith was found dead in a Vancouver hotel room from a mixed drug toxicity on July 13, 2013, drawing tributes from fans and friends the world over. The actor and his character Finn were honored in Glee's season 5 episode 'The Quarterback', which first aired a few months after Monteith's death. McHale – who plays Artie Abrams on the show – also spoke about the series finale of Glee, saying that he was "happy" with it as a conclusion to the series. "I'm satisfied. I was reading it and the last two episodes are airing back-to-back, so it's kinda this double whammy all at the end," he explained. "I think [viewers will] be happy. I was happy. They tie up a lot of great storylines and you get to see these people in a new light and follow their journey. "These characters have gone through a lot, and I think there's a good payoff at the end."

“When straight couples have children, the majority of them want their children to be straight as well,” Dr. William Strider at the Fertility Center of Chicago tells Daily Buzz Live. “That is why most straight parents have trouble accepting it when their children announce to them that they are gay.” Um… OK? “So it only makes sense,” Strider continues, “that same-sex couples would want children that carried out their same family values of homosexuality.” Strider claims he has the unique ability to help same-sex parents biologically produce gay children or “gaybies.” The procedure is called Human Germline Manipulation. It allows doctors to genetically engineer a fetus’ X-chromosome gene by tinkering with the sperm and ovum during a surrogate conception. The X-chromosome is believed to have some impact on a person’s sexual orientation. According to Strider, gay couples will soon have the option to change their straight baby into a gayby and “guarantee their same family values and acceptance throughout the next generation.” But don’t think producing a gayby isn’t going to cost you. The rate for Human Germline Manipulation ranges from $12,000 to $15,000. Also, the procedure isn’t guaranteed. So you might be better off putting that 15K towards your kid’s college fund and then keeping your fingers crossed he turns out gay.

I mean, really, you can thug yourself out, but who do you think you''re kidding.
Jack Falahee 'Fascinated' People Want To Know Whether He's Gay By On Top Magazine Staff; Published: February 27, 2015 Jack Falahee, who plays gay law student Connor Walsh on the ABC hit drama How To Get Away With Murder, says he's fascinated that people are curious about his sexuality. Falahee's steamy sex scenes have received plenty of attention – negative and positive – and in an Out cover story last month, the 25-year-old created headlines when he refused to answer whether he's gay. As the series wraps up its first season next week, Falahee still isn't talking. “We don't ask the actor playing James Bond what his sexual preference is,” Falahee said during a SiriusXM Progress interview this week. “So I don't know what it is, really, with trying to out actors who portray gay characters on television. But it is some sort of fascination in society.” “I think we're projecting onto actors in a way,' he said. “I think we're expecting them to be their characters when, at the end of the day, this is my job and I'm an actor portraying a role on a fictitious television show.” “I just think it's interesting,” Falahee continued, “because I have a body of work before Connor Walsh that is primarily heterosexual and yet people want to ask – you know, no one asks any other man, or woman, on my show, about their sexuality, and that's what fascinates me.”

Former Glam-Rock Star Gary Glitter Jailed for 16 years February 27, 2015 | 06:01AM PT, Leo Barraclough LONDON — Former glam-rock star Gary Glitter, best known for his hit song “I’m the Leader of the Gang (I Am),” has been jailed for 16 years for sexual assaults against young girls committed between 1975 and 1980. Glitter, whose real name is Paul Gadd, was found guilty of attempted rape, four counts of indecent assault, and one of having sex with a girl under 13, according to the BBC. His youngest victim was just 10 years old when Glitter crept into her bed as she slept and tried to rape her. Judge Alistair McCreath told Gadd, who is 70 years old: “You did all of them real and lasting damage and you did so for no other reason than to obtain sexual gratification for yourself of a wholly improper kind.” Gadd was jailed in Vietnam in 2006 for molesting two girls aged 11 and 12. Glitter was a star of the U.K. glam-rock scene in the early 1970s. His breakthrough single was “Rock ‘n’ Roll (Parts 1 and 2)” in 1972, which topped the U.S. charts. In 1973, he had a string of hits, including “I Didn’t Know I Loved You (Till I Saw You Rock and Roll),” “I Love You Love,” “Do You Wanna Touch Me” and “I’m the Leader of the Gang.” Glitter had sold 18 million records by 1975.

As of March 23, 2015, Blogger will no longer allow sexually explicit material on any blog it hosts. Any blog that is found to possess sexually explicit material, i.e. porn, will automatically be made private, meaning that nobody will be able to find it in search engines and only those people whom the blog owner gives the link to will be able to find the blogs. So if you have a favorite gay porn blog that is hosted on blogger, make sure you bookmark everything. I'm hoping that's all you have to do because if you need a special new link then you will be screwed.
You're welcome.
I understand he became truly insufferable once Star Trek re-runs went into syndication and he became perceived internationally as a larger-than-life figure--he completely bought into his own hype then. But what was he like before then? I know he was a big player during his years shooting Star Trek and was fucking every single beautiful female guest star. Was he more normal despite being an enormous pussyhound? And what was he like before Star Trek?

FBI kept 250-page file on ‘God Hates Fags’ hate preacher 27th February 2015, 3:47 PM, Nick Duffy The FBI has revealed that it kept an extensive file on hate preacher Fred Phelps, the man behind the notoriously anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church. Mr Phelps – who founded the anti-gay hate group and began its traditioning of homophobic pickets – died in March 2014. After a Freedom of Information request submitted by The Hill, it has been revealed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation kept extensive tabs on the preacher, starting in the 1960s. In 1967, he was labelled “in need of psychiatric care” by the FBI – and later described as a “radical extremist” and “zealot” as he began the group’s now-famous protests in the 90s. The records grew more extensive as time grew on, with the group’s activities monitored every year between 1993 to 2006. The intelligence bureau also kept copies of the group’s inflammatory press releases and copies of reports regarding its protests – as well as information regarding threats made against Phelps. The church last month protested a Christian conference, over the performance of openly gay singer Vicky Beeching. The singer was not deterred by the group when appearing at the event – even stopping to pose for a picture with them. She tweeted: “Arrived just now at #GCNConf to a loud crowd of Westboro Baptist protesters..and to a giant rainbow above them. “I smiled, said hello & told the Westboro Baptist folks we loved each of them. Love wins over judgement.”

A great many narratives invoking Greece are being tossed around, but only one really encapsulates the unvarnished truth: the Oligarchs blew it. The oligarchs in both Greece and the European Union/ECB had the opportunity a few years ago to trade some of their outsized wealth and political power for stability and sustainable expansion. Instead, they chose to not just cling to every shred of their outsized wealth and power but to actively increase it. Their greed and hubris has now put their entire system of parasitic wealth extraction at risk of collapse. Their political stranglehold on power has been weakened, and there's no going back: they blew it, and now it's too late. The debt-serfs have finally had enough. If you enter Greece in the custom search box on this site, six pages of blog entries come up. I have addressed the situation in Greece many times; this summarizes my conclusion: Greece, Please Do The Right Thing: Default Now (June 1, 2011) Thankfully, many in Greece have reached the same conclusion, for the same reasons: Greece's New FinMin Warns "We Are Going To Destroy The Greek Oligarchy System" The basic problem is that Greece Is a Kleptocracy (June 28, 2011). Greece has shown the world how oligarchies can expand their wealth and power even as their populace slides deeper into poverty. A recent article, Misrule of the Few: How the Oligarchs Ruined Greece, lays out the key dynamics. Writer Pavlos Eleftheriadis pulls no punches: "Greece has failed to address (rising wealth/income inequality) because the country’s elites have a vested interest in keeping things as they are. Since the early 1990s, a handful of wealthy families -- an oligarchy in all but name -- has dominated Greek politics. These elites have preserved their positions through control of the media and through old-fashioned favoritism, sharing the spoils of power with the country’s politicians. Greek legislators, in turn, have held on to power by rewarding a small number of professional associations and public-sector unions that support the status quo. Even as European lenders have put the country’s finances under a microscope, this arrangement has held." The vested interests have obscured the cold reality of rising inequality by focusing obsessively on "growth" as the fix-all to inequality. But this is exactly backward. As Eleftheriadis observes: "The fundamental problem facing Greece is not slow economic growth but political inequality. To the benefit of a favored few, cumbersome regulations and dysfunctional institutions remain largely unchanged, even as the country’s infrastructure crumbles, poverty increases, and corruption persists. Greek society also faces new dangers. Overall unemployment stands at 27 percent, and youth unemployment exceeds 50 percent, providing an ideal recruiting ground for extremist groups on both the left and the right. Meanwhile, the oligarchs are still profiting at the expense of the country -- and the rest of Europe." All the blather about "growth" is just propaganda to misdirect our attention from the real problem: the total domination of governance and finance by a class of vested interests and mega-wealthy cartels/oligarchies. The solution is straightforward: default on all debt by no longer making interest payments. There is no way Greece can pay back the $240 billion of current debt, and sooner the delusion that this can be renegotiated to preserve the oligarchy is smashed, the better. As for the big threat of kicking Greece out of the euro currency--since most Greeks are already impoverished, how can they get any poorer? The reality is poor countries prosper by making their goods and services cheaper via currency devaluations, and by paying a healthy rate of interest on capital so capital is attracted and invested productively, as high interest rates make speculative, marginal gambles soberingly risky. The only people with enough wealth left to worry about a return to a sovereign currency are the wealthy who own the assets and who depend on handouts from the E.U. As the old saying has it, you can't get blood from a turnip. The impoverished face little downside from leaving the stranglehold of the euro, and only upside from a return to a sovereign currency controlled by the Greeks rather than the E.U. or the European Central Bank (ECB). The threat of expelling Greece from the euro is hollow. A return to a sovereign currency puts the responsibility for prudent management of government expenditures and debt back in the hands of the Greek people and the leaders they elect. Why is that something terrible? If the new leadership of Greece pursues policies of fiscal prudence, high interest rates, zero-tolerance for corruption and freeing up the Greek economy to encourage small-scale enterprise, any decline in Greece's sovereign currency will be brief. If they pursue meet the new boss, same as the old boss policies, then the Greek people will remain shackled in poverty. We have to remember that the lenders who entrusted capital to marginal borrowers took the risk and therefore have to absorb the losses. In this case, the irresponsible lenders include sovereign nations that acted to protect their own oligarchies. Why? Once one oligarchy falls, it will threaten to topple a long line of oligarch dominoes.
The row began on April 19, when Morrissey published an anti-seal hunting screed on his website in which he lashed out at the Canadian Government for the characterization of the hunt as humane. Here is the back-and-forth Morrissey “If she (the Fisheries Minister) considers such butchery to be so ‘humane’, why doesn’t she place herself amongst the tens of thousands of grey-coated harp seals that will be slaughtered within the next few weeks? She could then test the humane aspect of having her head blown off for herself. Only then could she be thought to speak with any authority on the subject.” Canada Government Spokesperson Sophie Doucet "I would urge Mr. Morrissey to consider the impact that his ignorant and inflammatory statements have on the livelihoods of thousands of hard-working men and women in rural communities" Morrissey "I should remind Sophie Doucet that building and maintaining the Concentration Camps of Auschwitz also provided livelihoods, but this hardly made the Camps warranted.” Canada Government Spokesperson Sophie Doucet “Morrissey a millionaire celebrity, desperate for a hobby, shamelessly regurgitating misinformation” Morrissey “whether a challenge comes from a millionaire or from someone who is homeless is a remark that would only be made by someone of imperious ignorance, who cannot develop the moral debate, and whose own personal financial agenda comes before the lives of thousands of healthy beings,” “In Western culture, there is no acceptance of the Canadian seal slaughter, and simply because someone bears the badge of Minister does not insulate them from being a disreputable thug.” Canada Government Spokesperson Sophie Doucet Morrissey’s statements are “ignorant,” “Anyone who takes a careful look at the seal hunt will see that it is humane, sustainable, and well-regulated.” “Mr. Morrissey and his Hollywood buddies have been brainwashed by decades of propaganda from fringe animal rights groups and radical environmentalists.” Now waiting for the next volley from Morrissey
It's a chilly day off for me. I did tons of errands this morning and was so pleased to find a two-hour block of "Bewitched" when I got home. I haven't seen it in years. It really is a great sitcom. What were your favorite episodes or aspects of the show? Apparently,according to my mother, when I was four or five I used to run around the house yelling, "Doctor Bombay! Come right away!" whenever the re-runs were on. One of my best friends told me that he would actually take out a broom from the kitchen closet and "ride" it around the living room during the opening credits. A "dialing the phone with a pencil" moment, I would say.

WWE superstar Darren Young just dropped a bombshell, telling TMZ, he's gay ... and no, this isn't part of the act. Darren was at LAX Wednesday when we asked whether a gay wrestler could succeed in WWE, and Darren laughed, saying, "Absolutely. Look at me. I'm a WWE superstar and to be honest with you, I'll tell you right now, I'm gay. And I'm happy. I'm very happy." For the record, Darren is now the first openly gay wrestler ever at WWE ... and the first headlining wrestler ever to come out while still signed to a major promotion. Other pro wrestlers have been rumored to be gay, but that's it ... just rumors. Bottom line: this is big, big news. For all its chauvinism and testosterone-driven bravado, coming out in WWE is tantamount to coming out in the NFL. Of course, wrestling is a little different, particularly because of how physical it is, and how little clothing is involved -- but Darren is completely unfazed.
I'm one of the gays that also love watching straight pron because of the guys. Seeing the other thread about straight pron stars, I thought I'd start one with the link to who is considered the hottest by this particular website. I would add James Dean and Seth Gamble to the list. Some of the ones listed have also done gay pron . . . for instance the ever-hot Wolf Hudson. Pics from the thread are not naked but may not be safe for work either. Enjoy!

I saw an antique writing desk at a store today and it was priced ridiculously low. I checked it over and decided it was legit, but when I was about to buy it I stared doubting myself and walked away. I did some research at home and realized I was correct the first time. I went back to buy it but it was already sold. I always do this to myself--doubt my instincts. I've done it all my life and sadly it's really held me back Has anyone been able to crush their self-doubt?

Was old time feminism a creation of the CIA?

Is it an aesthetic thing, or is it because they feel better when they''re inside you?\ \ I don''t have enough experience with bottoming to judge if it feels better to get fucked by a big dick than by a medium one, but I find medium(-to-smallish) dicks much more aesthetically pleasing.\ \ To say nothing of the fact that they''re much more comfortable to suck.

I've seen a number of insomniac / sleep problem threads, so I know this isn't gay pointless bitchery - but I thought it would be interesting. The drug is called Belsomra (Suvorexant). It works on the "Orexin" pathway, unlike any existing drug right now. Orexin is responsible for keeping you awake (narcoleptics don't have normal orexin receptors). It essentially shuts down the "wake" system rather than promote the sleep system via GABA (like benzos). I took my first dose yesterday...i'm not sure how I feel about it yet. I slept ok... and earlier than I would have normally, but I felt tired today. It's too early to say much. Also, Merck had a huge fight with the FDA over the dose - and the FDA forced them to market a lower dose than what Merck found effective in the trials because of all the ambien controversy...so there might be some tinkering with the dose coming up. Anyway - for the insomniacs out there - here's some food (or drug) for thought. I've been on a LOT to deal with sleep issues, but nothing works for very long.

Republican Senate environment chief uses snowball as prop in climate rant Senator James Inhofe, who has famously claimed global warming is a hoax, wields snowball on Senate floor to in stunt against climate change evidence Nicky Woolf in Washington, Thursday 26 February 2015 17.08 EST James Inhofe, the US senator who famously claimed that global warming was “the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people”, attempted to underscore his climate denial on the Senate floor Thursday by brandishing a snowball. “I ask the chair: do you know what this is? It’s a snowball,” said Inhofe, hefting the icy globe in his right hand, before tossing it at a Senate page. The snowball stunt was part of a rambling speech to America’s most august deliberative body in which, among other points, Inhofe took aim at evidence by scientists that 2014 was the warmest year on record due to climate change. (According to detailed research Nasa and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, two of the top bodies of government scientists, it was.) In 2010, during another record-breaking snowstorm, Inhofe and his grandchildren built an igloo near the Capitol building in Washington, affixing signs to it that said “Al Gore’s New Home” and “Honk If You Love Global Warming”. Inhofe, a Republican from Oklahoma, is chair of the Senate environment committee. “I think it’s lovely that Senator Inhofe enjoys the winter weather so much,” said Gavin Schmidt, a climate scientist and director of Nasa’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies. “I’m a winter sports fan myself. But there’s a big difference between people playing with the snow, and global climate change.” Schmidt told the Guardian that, despite Senator Inhofe’s views, 2014 had indisputably been the warmest year on record, and January 2015 had been one of the warmest Januaries on record. “Europe was toasty warm. Alaska was toasty warm. Australia was toasty warm. All these things cancel out the fact that it happens to be cold in Washington DC this week,” he said. Inhofe’s office could not be reached for comment.

The damn thing was getting out and climbing all over my car, leaving paw prints, and shitting in my flower beds. So I called animal control and they brought me a trap, I trapped it, called them back, and they came out to pick it up. Neighbor came home just in time to see the animal control van driving away. Now, I had never mentioned that I was going to call animal control or trap the cat, but I had told her about the cat prints and cat shit and asked her to keep her animal off my property. She offered some lame excuse and went on her sweet way. But yesterday, she sees the animal control van and starts running down the street after it. Then she starts back toward the house, screaming at me "You'll pay for this!" as she runs in and slams the door. Not 15 minutes later, she sends her sniveling little crotch dropping over to tearfully ask me why I took his cat away. I told him to go home. This morning, I hear a big ruckus next door, car doors slamming, etc. So I peek out the curtain to see her and her son getting out of the car with the cat, making a big show of having gone and gotten it out of kitty jail, so I'd come out and see. I simply opened the door and waved at them, making sure they saw that I saw. I'm sure I've started WWIII with these people now. Goddamn, they are tedious.
Long story short, I have a bipolar neighbor in my apt building who is driving me and the rest of the tenants up the wall. Over the past 3 years, the pattern seems to be that things are quiet for a while and then she goes through screaming and crying spells that are very loud and stressful to hear. Even the tenants in the apt building next to ours have complained and called the police. She told our landlord she is embarrassed and that she is bipolar. She wanted to write a letter to the tenants which she gave to him but at the last minute she told him not to distribute it. She seems either 'on' or 'off'. A few weeks will go by where it's very peaceful and then there are weeks where she is constantly crying, yelling loudly, slamming doors and causing a ruckus. Us tenants come out into the hallways during the really loud episodes that she has and we all stare at each other but we're too afraid to confront her to tell her to shut up. if it gets really bad someone calls the police. Long story short, There are 8 units in my building and I have lived in here for over 10 years. It was a great, peaceful environment. Then this bipolar tenant, a woman who looked to be in her late 20s, moved in a few years ago(fall 09) and it's been disruptive off and on ever since. The police have come out at least every other month, particularly when she gets in knockdown verbal screaming matches with her boyfriend. (He is not a tenant but stays over regularly). They have both been arrested or taken away for 5150/72 hour supervision in a psych ward a few times over the past few years. He scares us more than she does when he goes into rages. A few weeks ago he was screaming at her and tried to break down the front door to our bldg until the police arrested him. Now he's back and I heard them screaming this morning. Our landlord is tearing his hair out. He got an atty and tried to evict her but she fought back and said that under the Fair Housing Act you can't evict someone with a disability (her bipolar condition being a disability). We have had some tenants leave because of her. I don't want to move because the rent is really reasonable in a great neighborhood and it's close to my work. I looked for other options in this neighborhood but couldn't find anything affordable. (My building is cheaper because it's older and seen better days but the location is great). My landlord said if one of us tenants would testify in court against her that's our best chance to evict her. We are all too scared to do it. (Yea, I know) I wrote a letter to my landlord with extensive dates of incidences where the police had to come over but he says it's not enough. He has police records of their visits out here as well but says we need someone to testify to evict her. Again, no one wants to go to court as they are too scared in case we lose. So we are stuck with this woman who yells, slams doors, screams in our common hallway that we are 'bad people' for calling the police, etc. She is also paranoid and says we broke her mailbox (there's nothing wrong with it) and other random things. She has no concept of how her ongoing episodes are ruining the quality of life for people not only in this building but in the one next door as well. We are all waiting for the day when she or her boyfriend end up shooting or beating each other up, their arguments are escalating. I realize this sounds like some bad drama queen journaling but I'm sick of it. She just had another episode this afternoon and the police came out again to investigate. This time she was not taken away but was given another warning. I don't know if she voluntarily goes off her meds or if her meds aren't working but I'm just burnt out on being sucked into the yelling, screaming, etc. Sorry for the long novel. I'm just hoping someone will offer some insight or maybe just tell me to pull up my socks and move. But I don't want to be pushed out of a place I love because of this woman. Are there any attys out there who have insight on how to work around the Fair Housing Act?

Recently bought one. My first in more than 35 years. I went from vinyl to eight-track to cassette to CD to digital and have stayed there. I'm amazed how much better vinyl sounds. Richer and deeper.

I don't think anyone listens to albums anymore all the way through. That's a shame.

I'm not shading her either. I'm legitimately curious due to an old interview I read about her brother. He talks about the book he wrote on her. The article said this: "When Ciccone was asked if it was true he had received seven figures for the book, he laughed and coyly repeated, 'I'm not unhappy with it.' He added that he is sure his sister was worried about exactly how much he would reveal to the world when she learned of the book. 'I know that her reaction was like many people's — she went to the very worst place,' Ciccone said. 'That I was going to discuss very private medical matters, that I was going to tear her apart, that, you know, she was very upset. And she — since I wasn't responding to her, she was calling my father and trying to get him to choose sides, which I thought was of -- on the low side, if you ask me.' What could "very private medical matters" be? I can't think of a major disease or illness that the public would really care about other than HIV
Well, this is embarrassing for her, innit?

When President Obama was elected, businesses where laying off 800,000 people a month; today, they are hiring 200,000 people a month. The unemployment rate has dropped from 10.9% in 2009 to 6.1% today. Over the last 4.5 years, businesses have created 10 million new jobs. This is the longest uninterrupted stretch of job creation in our nation's history. There are more job openings now than anytime since 2001. During the Obama Administration, the US has put more people back to work than in Europe, Japan, and every other advanced economy COMBINED. Of course, there are people who are still struggling, that is why we need to vote Democratic in all offices this November, to elect people who will fight for the working man and woman. We can't afford to have these gains reversed.
I don't get it? We loved her for years and years. What's just changed?

...all saying that they are "bi" or in some cases "straight?" These guys are as gay as me--and I'm 100 percent gay. Nothing bi or straight about me at all. They're on camera all the time having sex with other men. And the 'gay for pay' line is bullshit.
JEFFERSON — An Ashtabula native soap opera star was charged Friday with operating a vehicle while intoxicated and vehicular assault, according to the Ashtabula County Prosecutor’s office. Freddie M. Smith, 26, was legally drunk Oct. 7 when he crashed his car on Route 84 in Kingsville Township, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol. His girlfriend, actress Alyssa Tabit, 27, of North Hollywood, Calif., was seriously injured in the crash, according to OHP reports. Smith’s blood alcohol test result was .093, when the legal limit in Ohio is .08, according to OHP reports. Vehicular assault is a fourth-degree felony, and the OVI charge is a first-degree misdemeanor, Ashtabula County Assistant Prosecutor Cecilia Cooper said. An arraignment date has not been set, she said. Smith, who now lives in Los Angeles, Calif., lost control of the Mazda 6 he was driving on a curve in the road, just east of Dibble Road, according to the OHP report. OHP troopers suspected speed and alcohol were factors in the crash. Tabit is recovering from her injuries. Troopers received the results from Smith’s blood alcohol test on Monday. Smith plays the part of Sonny Kiriakis on the daytime soap opera, “Days of Our Lives.” According to OHP, Smith’s car crossed the center line at about 12:40 a.m. Oct. 7, traveled to the left side of the road and hit a culvert, causing the vehicle to flip end over end. When the vehicle came to rest, Tabit was temporarily trapped inside. She was flown by medical helicopter to St. Elizabeth’s Hospital and underwent surgery. She is recovering from her injuries. Smith was treated and released from UH Conneaut Medical Center for minor injuries. They were in town visiting Smith’s family. According to his fan page, Smith is back on the set in Los Angeles.
Yes. That's really his excuse.

Her last album "MDNA" bombed, selling only 1.8 million worldwide, the worst-selling album of her career. They gave the album away with tour tickets and perfume too. The album's three singles all flopped. The first single, a critical disaster, "Give Me All Your Luvin'" got to #10 on the charts thanks to Live Nation paying for airplay. It still only got to #10 even after the Super Bowl promotion, and giving the single away with pre-orders. The next two singles bombed, even in places like the UK, one of her most dedicated markets. "Give Me All Your Luvin'" charted at #37, "Girl Gone Wild," "MDNA"'s second single, charted at #73, and the third and last single "Turn Up The Radio" chart at #175. It didn't even chart in the US. Then there was horrible film "W.E." in 2012, which cost $29 million to make, and only made $868,439 at the box office. Does she understand that she's musically irrelevant now? Should she just stick to performing "Greatest Hits" tours? I'm betting she lives in a bubble with a whole load of Yes Men. Her last tour didn't pull in the same amount of $$$ as the previous one, although it didn't remarkably well. Why? She's still having to sing "Vogue" and "Like A Virgin". Her personal life is a disaster as well - all the plastic surgery, 20-year-old bought and paid for boyfriends, etc. Then she's still in that freaky cult. Oh, let's not forget her taking her tits and showing her ass and vagina at 54, she trying to prove that she's hot and trying to shock people. Do you think she can accept simply being a touring artist, a nostalgia act? That's all she has now. Her directing career, which she was aiming for, is never going to happen. We're seeing and discussing child stars and over-the-hill celebs in crisis non-stop today. I imagine Madonna's going to be added to the list.

I've been watching these on Roku/YouTube before bed. In the last few years of the show, after Dorothy Kilgallen died, the show rotated different people to fill the second woman panelist slot. Most of them were actresses or famous writers, but one of them seemed to have no credits at all: "Miss Sue Oakland," who was always introduced as studying for her Ph.D. at Columbia University (and nothing else). Sue was smart, and as pretty as a model, but had no reason for being there. Arlene Francis clearly could not stand her -- she usually had fun with other women on the panel, but never acknowledged Sue Oakland's existence five feet away (that I've ever seen). Does anyone know who Sue Oakland was? The logical conclusion is either the daughter of a sponsor or the mistress of either Goodson or Todman, but there's almost nothing on the web about the mysterious Miss Oakland (and nothing turns up in Google image search).

We used to have people who spent time on the site and posted some of the more interesting articles/blogs from Huffpo. They were attacked by the vicious old queens who think they own this board. Attacked to the point where they went away, and now it is rare that we get a link. I miss them. I hate scrolling through page after page to find the concise, worthy bits of that site. Use this thread to post your favorite bit from Huffpo and fuck the vicious queens. (on second thought maybe if the were getting fucked they would not be such controlling hall monitors.)

WTF! That Lilliputian scrunched up between the hulking amazons on GMA must be symbolic of the extinction or slave role of men that's on the horizon, the way they always pan out and show that petite pygmy with his gargantuan amazonian captors. You can't tell me that's not deliberate on the part of ABC because TV is nothing but a propaganda machine for the powerful. If you doubt it think about this. If you're an American man you're more likely to be unemployed than your female counterparts, not to mention, more than half of all middle management jobs in America are now held by women and the US with the highest incarceration rate on the entire globe by a very wide margin, men make up the vast majority of those that we are holding in our prisons. Let's face it. Men are not men anymore. They're a bunch of Peter Pans, totally emasculated.

Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren has made it perfectly clear she isn’t running for president in 2016, despite the ongoing and vigorous attempts to draft her into the race. But if Warren isn’t running, where do her supporters go? Are they committed to voting for anyone running against presumed front-runner Hillary Clinton? Do her voters flock to one of the other contenders for the nomination, like Joe Biden, Martin O’Malley, or Bernie Sanders? Nope. Warren captures about 10-15% of Democrats’ support in most polls of the potential 2016 field that include her name. With Warren removed, the “lionshare” of her voting bloc appears to go to Clinton, said Lee Miringoff, the director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion, which conducted the poll with NBC. “There’s no sense that they’ve gone anywhere other than to the well-known Clinton,” Miringoff said. “She’s cornered the market on liberal Democrats.” And that’s ultimately the challenge the anyone-but-Hillary activists face: there just aren’t that many of them. Let’s be clear: there are plenty of reasons progressive activists have not wanted to leap directly into Hillary’s arms. They have genuine concerns about her hawkishness, her ties to Wall Street, and her lackluster 2008 campaign. It’s reasonable to want a challenger who focuses on the populist issues Warren has championed. But ultimately, any challenger for the nomination has an uphill battle. Hillary Clinton is popular — with the general populace, with Democrats, and with liberals.
A private Christian college in South Carolina, after two gay athletes came out in the media, has very publicly banned homosexuality, and issued a threatening statement. Last year volleyball players Drew Davis and Juan Varona, both openly gay at Erskine, a rural South Carolina private Christian college founded in 1839, were featured in a very intimate Outsports article. The piece detailed how Davis was inadvertently outed by his ex-boyfriend, how his father disowned him and his mother told him he'd be unemployed for the rest of his life, and how he attempted suicide. It also told of the strong support Davis and Varona have received from their fellow teammates. This year, under the leadership of Dr. Paul Kooistra (photo), the school's new president, Erskine has just released a damning policy statement that bans homosexuality, labeling it "sin and contrary to the will of the Creator." Under a section titled "In Action," the Erskine policy notes, "We believe the Bible teaches that all sexual activity outside the covenant of marriage is sinful and therefore ultimately destructive to the parties involved." The policy statement is also foreboding and threatening, commanding, "members of the Erskine community are expected to follow the teachings of scripture concerning matters of human sexuality and institutional decisions will be made in light of this position." How are Erskine's two openly-gay students expected to interpret that statement, that "institutional decisions will be made in light of this position," and how are the students who are LGBTQ expected to feel safe in that environment? That's not an extreme question. Hidden at the bottom of a financial report to the college's trustees, a statement on the school's website reads, "the Student Services and Athletic Committee submitted and the full board approved a Statement on Human Sexuality. The administration will add the statement to its official manuals and determine how it will be integrated into campus culture and procedures." Doesn't that sound like the school is targeting its two gay players? Varona told Outsports' Cyd Zeigler he is "disappointed" by his school's statement, "sad and worried for other gay people," and added it took him "by surprise." He says, "the school took several steps back instead of progressing towards a future where everyone can be treated as an equal." "I understand the religious stand on adultery, which is part of the Ten Commandments in the Bible, and that would apply to heterosexual and homosexual people." Zeigler has a few thoughts for Erskine College's leadership. It's insightful that Varona would mention the Ten Commandments. There's another Commandment among the 10 that's given higher priority in all versions of the Bible: "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy." We're assuming this means that Erskine College will also ban all of its athletic teams from practicing or competing on Sundays. That's unfortunate, because on Sunday, April 19, the men's volleyball, men's golf and women's golf teams have tournament games scheduled. The following Sunday four teams - softball, women's lacrosse, women's tennis and men's tennis - have matches scheduled. For the school to ban homosexuality but not ban these competitions on the sabbath would be the highest form of hypocrisy.

My God, it was SLOW. There's one scene where the father moves into his new apartment and they spend several minutes just watching him unpack his shopping from the supermarket.

Ronaldo was attending the official launch of his new underwear range, CR7, and anyone wondering what his debut collection looks like didn’t have to look too far - a 19-metre tall campaign image featuring the chiseled winger in all his glory was suspended above in the landmark building’s renaissance courtyard. Meanwhile the man in question, never shy about coming forward, was clearly delighted as he posed for photos between its legs. ‘I am very proud to officially launch CR7 today and especially to see my campaign image displayed in this beautiful building, one of the most famous landmarks in Madrid,’ he said.‘I put a lot of passion and dedication into creating this new underwear line and I am delighted to finally launch it globally today. ‘ Ronaldo has previously modelled for Armani Jeans, but his latest campaign marks an inaugural brand venture and his first attempt at fashion designing. His design debut was aided by Richard Chai – best known for his collaborations with Marc Jacobs and Donna Karen.‘Fashion and design are two passions of mine and I have wanted to launch my own brand for a long time. Working on this collection alongside Richard has given me a great creative outlet and I have loved every part of collaborating on the range, from selecting the colours and designs to testing the styles and fits myself,’ he said. ‘I am very proud that the collection is launching worldwide today.’ Ronaldo's new underwear range will be available to buy via www.cr7underwear.com from November 1.
He told a story last night on Letterman in which he was on a few pills and whiskey for a performance he did and was still a little loopy when he went backstage. There, he ran into Tony Goldwyn who was with a few people including two children. The little girl asked if he would autograph her Playbill which he did, then the little 9-year-old boy took off his Croc shoe and asked, "Would you autograph my Croc?" Sean, still a little whacked out on pills and booze, replied, " Thank God there's an "r" in that," at which point Tony Goldwyn looked horrified and they all left. I don't believe that story for a minute. Who asks someone to autograph a shoe, let alone a plastic shoe? The story does not make sense. If he's going to make up stories for late night shows which many people do, can't he make up something more believable? Or one that doesn't involve a little boy and his Croc?

President Obama vetoed the Keystone XL pipeline bill today, with a short message to Republicans in Congress that should serve as a warning that this president is won’t be bullied by anyone. In his veto message the president said: I am returning herewith without my approval S. 1, the “Keystone XL Pipeline Approval Act.” Through this bill, the United States Congress attempts to circumvent longstanding and proven processes for determining whether or not building and operating a cross-border pipeline serves the national interest. The Presidential power to veto legislation is one I take seriously. But I also take seriously my responsibility to the American people. And because this act of Congress conflicts with established executive branch procedures and cuts short thorough consideration of issues that could bear on our national interest — including our security, safety, and environment — it has earned my veto. The president’s message accurately accused Republicans in Congress of trying to circumvent processes while also undercutting the powers of the president. Keystone XL was an attempt by Republicans to take power away from the president. The American people strongly support the president’s position of allowing the process to play out on Keystone XL. This veto is about more than a piece of legislation that was passed only for the benefit of a foreign oil company. Congressional Republicans tried to bully the President on the pipeline, and he pushed back. Obama’s veto message was short, but it layered with the broader political conflict that will be contested over the last two years of his presidency. Republicans thought that they were going to show the dominance of their congressional majority. Instead, they have run into a president who is going to stand tall, and fight for what he believes is the right thing for the country until the day that he leaves office.

"For a study to show a benefit of this magnitude in the prevention of peanut allergy is without precedent. The results have the potential to transform how we approach food allergy prevention."

Abercrombie & Fitch case: justices set to side with Muslim woman over headscarf US supreme court hears arguments in religious discrimination case involving woman who was not hired because she wore a black headscarf to interview Dan Roberts in Washington, Wednesday 25 February 2015 12.09 EST Abercrombie & Fitch’s rejection of a Muslim job applicant for wearing a headscarf was sharply criticised in the US supreme court on Wednesday, as even conservative justices ridiculed the fashion chain’s “mythical preppy” rules on how employees can dress. In a landmark religious discrimination case, brought by Oklahoma shop worker Samantha Elauf, lawyers for the store argued it need not have taken her religion into account when applying a rule against headwear because managers only guessed she was Muslim. But a majority of justices on the nine-strong bench appeared sympathetic to arguments made by the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) that they should have asked Elauf or at least told her of the ban so she had an opportunity to volunteer the information. “I am not only standing up for myself, but for all people who wish to adhere to their faith while at work,” said Elauf in a statement issued from the steps of the court after the hour-long hearing. “Observance of my faith should not prevent me from getting a job.” If it eventually rules in favour of the EEOC and Elauf, the supreme court will clear up a disagreement among lower appeal courts about whether employers have to know for sure that an applicant is seeking a religious exemption under existing anti-discrimination rules. Questions raised during the oral argument suggest many are leaning this way. Justice Elena Kagan compared the case to an employer deciding it did not want to hire Jewish people and then looking out for names that looked Jewish as a way to screen applicants. “That’s gotta be against the law, right?” she said, incredulously. Samuel Alito, known for more conservative views, also said Abercrombie must have suspected Elauf’s headscarf was permanent, otherwise it would have simply assumed she would not wear it again once at work. “[Or] maybe she was just having a bad hair day?” he asked to laughter from the court after describing the store’s list of rules as “mythical preppy”. Justice Stephen Breyer also joked about the store’s attempt to make everyone look like they had gone to Princeton University. Only Antonin Scalia, the most conservative justice on the bench, appeared sympathetic to the store’s argument that it could not know for sure what Elauf’s religion was, even though a manager suspected she was Muslim. “Would you tell us what it is you want here,” he asked EEOC lawyer and deputy US solicitor general Ian Gershengorn. “Understand, know, believe, suspect – what other verbs do you suggest?” “If you want to sue me, the burden is on you to tell me,” added Scalia. Briefly, chief justice John Roberts appeared sympathetic. “Let’s say you have someone of Middle Eastern appearance who shows up with a beard,” he said. “Do you think it is better for him … to be asked questions that that they would not ask any other applicant?” But Roberts and others appeared swayed by Alito, who suggested employers simply tell applicants what their rules are and then ask “Do you have a problem with that?” as a way around making assumptions about their religion. Abercrombie’s lawyer Shay Dvoretzky questioned whether this would mean the company would have to “deviate from a religion-neutral policy based on mere suspicion”. “Having that kind of standard will inevitably lead employers to stereotype,” he added. He also rejected the suggestion that the store should have told Elauf it did not allow headscarves. “It was a matter of common sense that Abercrombie & Fitch requires employees to wear clothes that look like Abercrombie style,” said Dvoertzky. “It does not sell headscarves.” But the majority of the bench appeared to agree with Gershengorn’s assertion that “this is a particularly straightforward case”, because the store had admitted it suspected Elauf was Muslim and still rejected her due to her headscarf. “This is an unusual case because it is very rare that you have an interviewer like [Abercrombie manager Heather] Cooke that is honest,” said Justice Sonia Sotomayor. “The only reason you have a suit here is because she was honest.” “Most of the time applicants never find out why they were not hired and this is what makes this a very important case,“ concluded Gershengorn.

Human rights campaigners have slammed a decision by award-winning musician John Legend to perform at a state-backed event in Bahrain next week. The Grammy Award-winning singer, who won an Oscar on Sunday for Best Original Song for “Glory” from the film Selma, is set to perform on Monday at the country’s Spring of Culture festival in Arad Fort, which is organised and part funded by the Bahrain Authority for Culture and Antiquities, the country’s ministry of culture. However, campaigners in the country have attacked the singer for agreeing to perform at a government-backed event in a country where the Sunni-dominated regime has been accused of widespread human rights abuses, including the use of excessive force against protesters, extra judicial killings, arbitrary detention and torture. Mr Legend’s performance – tickets have already sold out – comes after he spoke out for human rights at the most politically charged Academy Awards in recent memory on Sunday night. Accepting his award for his contribution to Selma, which depicts Dr Martin Luther King’s momentous battle to pass the 1965 Voting Rights Act, Mr Legend quoted Nina Simone, saying that “it’s an artist’s duty to reflect the times in which we live.” His speech also touched on several social justice issues, including the United States’ high incarceration rates, sparking fierce political debate. However the outspoken musician now faces charges of hypocrisy after Bahraini campaigners said he was being used to “burnish” the “bloodied reputation” of the regime. Dr Ala’a al-Shehabi, a prominent human rights activist from Bahrain Watch, said: “Bahrainis have been enduring a civil rights struggle for decades. Having John Legend sing in Bahrain should be in honour of the people who have lost life and limb in this struggle. Not in honour of the regime that wants to use him to burnish its bloodied reputation.” He added: “Bahrain is facing a human rights calamity given its small size and small population… Scores of ageing and peaceful political leaders are behind bars. If Martin Luther King was Bahraini today, he'd be serving a long prison sentence, for all of the island's leaders are in prison, on trial or in exile. This call for Mr Legend to reconsider the performance was echoed by Sayed Yousif Almuhafdah, the vice president of the Bahrain Center for Human Rights. He said: “I’d like to tell John Legend that my people, the people of Bahrain, are fighting the same injustice and discrimination African Americans suffered in the United States. They’re living under a dictatorship that has stripped them from their most basic human rights, democracy, justice, and freedom of speech. Bahrainis democracy campaigners are being attacked on daily basis, arrested, tortured, and unjustly detained. The people of Bahrain are paying their lives as a price for their freedom.” Mr Legend’s performance will also embarrass Amnesty International after he lent his name to a high-profile freedom of expression campaign by the charity in November. At the time the singer said he was “proud” to support the “Write for Rights” campaign which seeks to empower people “to write, tweet and speak out on human rights abuses.” His performance in Bahrain on Monday will be doubly embarrassing for Amnesty International after it issued a damming report this week on human rights violations in the country. The report found that Sunni-dominated government “continued to stifle and punish dissent” in the wake of political unrest in the country in 2011 when troops from neighbouring Saudi Arabia help the it smash protesters who were calling to end the domination of the ruling al-Khalifa dynasty, which has controlled the country for more than 200 years.
John Legend to play gig in Bahrain - days after speaking out on human rights at the Oscars
Harrison Ford will star in "Blade Runner 2".
Did anyone else find this year's Oscars to be a bit... lacking in star power? There were a bunch of A-listers who apparently weren't at the ceremony (at least from the pictures I've seen). The most obvious explanation is they weren't nominated or attached to nominated films, but that's not a requirement for attending and I'm assuming many have standing invitations to attend or could have presented if they wanted. Since they're all working and have projects to promote it seems weird to avoid an appearance which keeps them in the public eye. So why weren't the following there? (or were they there and I missed them?) Jennifer Lawrence Angelina & Brad (heck, Jennifer Aniston was there and she wasn't nominated, and Angelina was attached to both Unbroken and Maleficent, which were up for technical awards) Sandra Bullock George & Amal Clooney Amy Adams Hugh Jackman etc. I feel like the camera kept on cutting to Meryl because there wasn't a lot of Hollywood royalty to cut to otherwise...

I've had many so it's hard to choose. I think it's a toss up between Burger King in high school and the phone surveying job I had in college where one day I came in and they wanted me to call people up and ask what brand of toilet paper they used. I just couldn't bring myself to do it. My fight-or-flight response kicked in & I told my manager I needed to go use the Coke machine…walked out and ended up being fired for it. Yours?

The wife of this foreign born A-/B+ list mostly movie actor who is a very recent Academy Award winner/nominee told one of her friends that our actor spends a great deal of time preparing for his next role and wears women’s clothes everywhere. Of course what she left out is that he has been doing this for much longer than the past few months. It has been going on for years. She doesn’t seem to mind, but at least this way she can talk about it a little. Eddie Redmayne

Endora's age for example. In earlier episodes, it was suggested that Endora "admits to 1000" years old. Serena refers to the Witches' Council, saying you can "never trust someone over 2000 years old!" Uncle Arthur looks at Endora and says, "Make that 3000!". But in the Henry VIII episode, Endora says that she can't use her witchcraft because she hadn't been born yet! That annoyed me. The writers were getting lazy at that point

Shades of Snowpiercer. I know global warming gets all the attention, but global cooling would be far worse. We are living in an interglacial era. Every time the world gets closer to our current peak, it quickly plunges into another ice age. These interglacial periods appear to have some correlation with sunspot activity. The latest news on sunspot activity is similar to other cold spells. Although sunspot data only goes back a few hundred years, the "mini-ice age" from 1250-1850 leads to this detail- [quote]…if history is a guide, it is safe to say that weak solar activity for a prolonged period of time can have a negative impact on global temperatures in the troposphere which is the bottom-most layer of Earth’s atmosphere - and where we all live. There have been two notable historical periods with decades-long episodes of low solar activity. The first period is known as the “Maunder Minimum”, named after the solar astronomer Edward Maunder, and it lasted from around 1645 to 1715. The second one is referred to as the “Dalton Minimum”, named for the English meteorologist John Dalton, and it lasted from about 1790 to 1830. Both of these historical periods coincided with below-normal global temperatures in an era now referred to by many as the “Little Ice Age”. In addition, research studies in just the past couple of decades have found a complicated relationship between solar activity, cosmic rays, and clouds on Earth. This research suggests that in times of low solar activity where solar winds are typically weak; more cosmic rays reach the Earth’s atmosphere which, in turn, has been found to lead to an increase in certain types of clouds that can act to cool the Earth. Here is the link that got me thinking. Notice how the planet is at the peak temperature. Hundreds of thousands of years of data, all showing that we are on the cusp of a new ice age.

Strange lights on dwarf planet Ceres have scientists perplexed By Chris Taylor,20 hours ago A dwarf planet is shining two bright lights at a NASA spacecraft right now, and our smartest scientists are unsure what they are. As bizarre as that sentence sounds, that's the situation with Ceres — the largest object in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, officially designated as a dwarf planet (the same category as Pluto). NASA's Dawn spacecraft is approaching Ceres ahead of a March 6 rendezvous. The picture above was taken February 19, from a distance of just under 29,000 miles, and shows two very shiny areas on the same basin on Ceres' surface. Previous Dawn images from further away showed a single light on Ceres, which was just as mysterious. Then, to the amazement of every astronomy geek, the one light turned out to be two — reflecting roughly 40% of the light hitting them. "This is truly unexpected and still a mystery to us," said Andreas Nathues, lead investigator for the framing camera team at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Gottingen, Germany, in a NASA statement. "The brightest spot [of the two] continues to be too small to resolve with our camera, but despite its size it is brighter than anything else on Ceres." So what could the bright spots be, other than alien castaways signaling at us with flashlights? The most obvious contender is ice, although ice would reflect more than 40% of all light hitting it. The difference may be accounted for by the resolution limit of Dawn's camera at this distance. Scientists have previously detected water vapor coming from the surface of the dwarf planet, making ice a more likely option. Scientists have also suggested the bright areas could be patches of salt. On the other hand, the location of the two bright spots so close together may be an indication that they have a geologic origin, such as some sort of volcanic process, possibly even ice volcanoes. According to Chris Russell, principal investigator for the Dawn mission, the positioning of the bright spots within the same area may indicate "a volcano-like origin of the spots," but scientists will have to wait for higher resolution images before making such interpretations. Scientists don't think the spots comprise lava similar to that seen on Earth, since that would shine more brightly. We'll find out more as Dawn approaches Ceres next week and more imagery comes in during the next 16 months, according to NASA. In the meantime, here's more on Dawn and its eight-year mission: (Video at link)

I saw the video at the link via Seduced by the New, and immediately fell in love. Apparently he is a HUGE star in Ireland, and his US debut is being pushed hard. He was on SNL last week, but I didn't watch it yet. I literally heard the song 2 hours ago, and just heard it again featured in a Beats by Dre commercial. The song is called "Take Me To Church" and the videos features a hate crime against two gay men. It's a brutal, fantastic song and the video pushes it over the edge. The singer is gorgeous, and his view of gay rights is excellent. Oh my god, I just mentally compared him to Jeff Buckley. He's that good.

Technology mogul Carly Fiorina muscled her way into the crowded field of Republicans positioning for a 2016 White House bid with a blistering attack Thursday on Hillary Rodham Clinton and an appeal to Republicans to consider nominating a woman. It was a reboot for Fiorina, whose last foray into national politics did not go well. The former Hewlett-Packard chief executive failed in her 2010 effort to defeat California's Sen. Barbara Boxer, the Democratic incumbent. Despite GOP excitement around Fiorina at the outset, her race was beset with missteps and a muddled message. Boxer ultimately skated to reelection. But the Conservative Political Action Conference crowd, meeting here just outside Washington, found lots to like in Fiorina's remarks. She has spent the last few years engaged in conservative activism and burnishing her foreign policy credentials. “Like Mrs. Clinton, I too have traveled" the globe, Fiorina said of the former secretary of State. “Unlike Mrs. Clinton, I know that flying is an activity, not an accomplishment.” Fiorina, knowing that there was no room for her political aspirations in the Democratic Party, given Elizabeth Warren's and Hillary Clinton's dominance, has fashioned herself into what she believes is a convincing right-winger. She lit into the Obama administration’s foreign policy, characterizing it as wishy-washy. The crowd rose to its feet when she praised the government of Jordan for swiftly executing two convicted terrorists after Islamic State militants burned alive a captured Jordanian pilot in a cage. Then she moved onto Russia. “I met Vladimir Putin and I know his ambition will not be deterred by a gimmicky reset button,” she said. Fiorina pleased the crowd by declaring every foreign policy move by the Obama administration and its former secretary of State had weakened America's standing around the world. “Mrs. Clinton, please name an accomplishment,” she said. Although the field of aspiring GOP presidential candidates is crowded, including 10 speaking here this week, Fiorina is the only prominent woman. She is unsubtly positioning herself as the anti-Hillary. “I think our party needs to be as diverse as the nation we hope to represent,” she said. Still, it became clear what she is up against moments after she left the stage. It was Sen. Ted Cruz’s turn. Dozens of fans rushed the stage, jockeying to capture a photo of the tea party favorite from Texas on their smartphones. That did not happen when Fiorina took the podium. Nor when she left.

Once education, marital status and occupations are considered, the 'gender wage gap' all but disappears. April 8 is "Equal Pay Day," an annual event to raise awareness regarding the so-called gender wage gap. As President Obama said in the State of the Union address, women "still make 77 cents for every dollar a man earns," a claim echoed by the National Committee on Pay Equity, the American Association of University Women and other progressive groups. The 23% gap implies that women work an extra 68 days to earn the same pay as a man. Mr. Obama advocates allowing women to sue for wage discrimination, with employers bearing the burden of proving they did not discriminate. But the numbers bandied about to make the claim of widespread discrimination are fundamentally misleading and economically illogical. In its annual report, "Highlights of Women's Earnings in 2012," the Bureau of Labor Statistics states that "In 2012, women who were full-time wage and salary workers had median usual weekly earnings of $691. On average in 2012, women made about 81% of the median earnings of male full-time wage and salary workers ($854)." Give or take a few percentage points, the BLS appears to support the president's claim. But every "full-time" worker, as the BLS notes, is not the same: Men were almost twice as likely as women to work more than 40 hours a week, and women almost twice as likely to work only 35 to 39 hours per week. Once that is taken into consideration, the pay gap begins to shrink. Women who worked a 40-hour week earned 88% of male earnings. Then there is the issue of marriage and children. The BLS reports that single women who have never married earned 96% of men's earnings in 2012. The supposed pay gap appears when marriage and children enter the picture. Child care takes mothers out of the labor market, so when they return they have less work experience than similarly-aged males. Many working mothers seek jobs that provide greater flexibility, such as telecommuting or flexible hours. Not all jobs can be flexible, and all other things being equal, those which are will pay less than those that do not. Education also matters. Even within groups with the same educational attainment, women often choose fields of study, such as sociology, liberal arts or psychology, that pay less in the labor market. Men are more likely to major in finance, accounting or engineering. And as the American Association of University Women reports, men are four times more likely to bargain over salaries once they enter the job market. Risk is another factor. Nearly all the most dangerous occupations, such as loggers or iron workers, are majority male and 92% of work-related deaths in 2012 were to men. Dangerous jobs tend to pay higher salaries to attract workers. Also: Males are more likely to pursue occupations where compensation is risky from year to year, such as law and finance. Research shows that average pay in such jobs is higher to compensate for that risk. While the BLS reports that full-time female workers earned 81% of full-time males, that is very different than saying that women earned 81% of what men earned for doing the same jobs, while working the same hours, with the same level of risk, with the same educational background and the same years of continuous, uninterrupted work experience, and assuming no gender differences in family roles like child care. In a more comprehensive study that controlled for most of these relevant variables simultaneously—such as that from economists June and Dave O'Neill for the American Enterprise Institute in 2012—nearly all of the 23% raw gender pay gap cited by Mr. Obama can be attributed to factors other than discrimination. The O'Neills conclude that, "labor market discrimination is unlikely to account for more than 5% but may not be present at all." These gender-disparity claims are also economically illogical. If women were paid 77 cents on the dollar, a profit-oriented firm could dramatically cut labor costs by replacing male employees with females. Progressives assume that businesses nickel-and-dime suppliers, customers, consultants, anyone with whom they come into contact—yet ignore a great opportunity to reduce wages costs by 23%. They don't ignore the opportunity because it doesn't exist. Women are not in fact paid 77 cents on the dollar for doing the same work as men. Administration officials are (very) occasionally challenged on their discrimination claims. The reply is that even if lower average female pay is a result of women's choices, those choices are themselves driven by discrimination. Yet the choice of college major is quite free, and many colleges recruit women into high-paying science or math majors. Likewise, many women prefer to stay home with their children. If doing so allows their husbands to maximize their own earnings, it's not clear that the families are worse off. It makes no sense to sue employers for choices made by women years or decades earlier. The administration's claims regarding the gender pay gap are faulty, and its proposal to make it easier for women to sue employers for equal pay would create a disincentive for firms to hire women. Mr. Perry is a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute and professor of economics and finance at the University of Michigan's Flint campus. Mr. Biggs is a resident scholar at AEI.

It''ll be happening to me this weekend. My bf of three months and I are going to a B&B in the Berkshires to consummate our relationship. I''m 23 and have never topped or bottomed before. I''ll be bottoming this weekend. We decided that at my age it was time to give up my virginity. I''m crazy in love with him, so this is a natual progression. He''s got a very large penis. We''ve done tons of oral, and I''ve had trouble getting my mouth around it it''s so thick. I''m worried about it hurting like hell when he penetrates me. I''ll be all douched and lubed up to accept him, but I''m scared it''ll just be too much. I''m not THAT tight.

I have an HP envy m6 (model m6-1225dx to be exact) laptop. My power cord frayed and I can't charge it. Does anyone know if a universal power charger is safe to use as a permanent replacement or is it best to use an original HP power charger, an exact replacement for the one that came with the laptop. HP wants 83 with shipping dollars for the replacement. Staples says they can order an original HP one for 75 dollars with shipping and tax and Radio Shack has a universal one called Enercell for $39.99 plus tax (I'll post a link to the Radio Shack one.) I've been Googling around and some say the universal ones can damage your laptop or the battery but this Radio Shack one is 90 watts and 19 volts. So it should be powerful enough. HP won't give me free tech advice since my computer is over a year old. They want 100 bucks just to talk to me so screw them. Has anyone had any experience with universal power cords, pro or con? I'd appreciate any advice given.

I have the opportunity to take a position with one. I've observed that non-profits are often a mess internally, with organizational issues from bad communication to crazy employees (since few ever get fired). But, I've never worked for one directly. Have any of you? I reached out to them because they serve the LGBT population, and it was something I thought I wanted to do. But, as I've talked with more people there, I felt like I might not entirely fit in...though I haven't necessarily fit in with every employer I've had. The pay is not good - and not why I'm considering it. I just wanted to mention the money because, unlike bad corporate jobs, the pay wouldn't make up for anything negative.

The difference is that the morbidly obese individual consumes drastically more calories than a skinny person.) 3. I have an (unspecified) medical condition (very few medical conditions cause one to be fat. There are diseases that can cause fluid retention and such, but few cause one to get fat.) 4. I was molested. 5. It's genetics. 6. I don't make enough money to eat healthy. 7. My medication makes me fat. (There are some medication that can cause weight gain. However, doctors are quick to switch patients to other drugs if they notice this problem developing.) 8. I had an injury which limits my activity. 9. I'm diabetic. (Yes, certain people would have us believe that it was their diabetes that caused them to become morbidly obese and not the other way around.) 10. I have a thyroid condition. (Very rare. The majority of thyroid conditions cause a hyperactive metabolism, keeping someone super skinny. However, even if a person does have a genuine thyroid issue, treatment is effective which will end weight gain.) 11. Fatorexia, the tendency for fat people to perceive themselves as not being fat. Women who believe they are merely "curvy" or "big and beautiful" fall into this category as well. The fatty from "My Big Fat Fabulous Life" falls into this category as well as number 3 as she blames her weight gain on a medical condition and not the fact that she likely consumes 10,000 calories or more a day. 12. I was teased or bullied as a kid. 13. It's society's fault or society should accept me for how I am. 14. I had a kid, or multiple kids. (As if this is a free pass to be a blob for the rest of your life.)
Found: a black hole 12bn times the size of the sun Scientists name new ‘object’ SDSS J0100+2802 and say it is 12.8bn light years from Earth and was formed just 900m years after the Big Bang Press Association, Wednesday 25 February 2015 19.35 EST A monster black hole powering “the brightest lighthouse in the distant universe” has been discovered that is 12bn times more massive than the sun, scientists have revealed. The extraordinary object is at the centre of a quasar - an intensely powerful galactic radiation source - with a million billion times the sun’s energy output. For years the nature of quasars, discovered in 1963, remained a mystery. Today scientists believe they are generated by matter heating up as it is dragged into supermassive black holes at the centre of distant galaxies. The new object, named SDSS J0100+2802, is 12.8bn light years from Earth and was formed just 900m years after the Big Bang that gave birth to the universe. Astronomers cannot explain how such an enormous black hole could have formed so early in cosmic history, soon after the first stars and galaxies emerged. Dr Fuyan Bian, from the Australian National University, a member of the international team, said: “Forming such a large black hole so quickly is hard to interpret with current theories ... “This black hole at the centre of the quasar gained enormous mass in a short period of time.” The quasar, the brightest ever detected in the early universe, was found after astronomers conducted a survey of distant luminous objects using data from several large telescopes around the world. It had a “redshift” - a measurement of the stretching of light to the red end of the spectrum by the expansion of the universe - of 6.30, marking it out as a very distant and old object. Only 40 known quasars have a redshift higher than six, the yardstick used to define the early universe boundary. It was formed soon after the end of the “epoch of reionisation”, a transformative era that ended the “cosmic dark age” following the Big Bang and created the star-filled universe we know today. Astronomers have uncovered more than 200,000 quasars dating as far back as 700m years after the Big Bang. Despite their high luminosity they are extremely faint because of their great distance and difficult to find. Professor Xue-Bing Wu, from Peking University in China, who led the study reported in the journal Nature, said: “This quasar is very unique. We are so excited, when we found that there is such a luminous and massive quasar only 0.9bn years after the Big Bang. Just like the brightest lighthouse in the distant universe, its glowing light will help us to probe more about the early universe.” US co-author Dr Yuri Beletsky, from the Carnegie Institution in Washington DC, said: “This quasar is a unique laboratory to study the way that a quasar’s black hole and host galaxy co-evolve. Our findings indicate that in the early universe, quasar black holes probably grew faster than their host galaxies, although more research is needed to confirm this idea.” The quasar’s black hole dwarfs the one at the centre of our galaxy, the Milky Way, which has mass of three million suns.
poor dear. How humiliating for her.

Out of all the homophobic actors out there--and I’m sure their numbers are legion--Jensen Ackles irritates me the most. I don’t understand the gay men who worship him. He’s undeniably good looking but he can’t open his mouth without making a homophobic comment. What kills me is that gays everywhere take up for him just because of his looks. “Oh, he didn’t mean it that way;” or “Oh, it was just a joke;” or “Oh, you’re taking his comments too literally;” bullshit like that. Are you fuckin’ kiddin’ me??? I’m sorry but affecting a lispy high-pitched voice while ineffectually slapping at someone OVER AND OVER AND OVER, TIME AFTER TIME AFTER TIME, IN EVERY POSSIBLE CONTRIVED SITUATION isn’t funny. It isn’t a joke. And, similarly, using the word “gay” or “pansy” as a derogatory adjective in interviews isn’t okay either. Those things are evidence of a belief, people, an attitude toward gays, and I’m sick of guys lusting over him. I’m 46 and own my own architectural firm, and I have 6 architects working for me. Two of them are gay and about 10 years younger than me, and I had listen to them all goddam night go on about this guy. Even on DataLounge his name pops up constantly. It’s like a bunch of freakin’ yeshiva boys jonesin’ to blow motherfuckin’ Hitler. I don’t know what Ackles makes per episode, but word is that he clears 40k to 50k for an appearance at a “Supernatural” convention. So far this year he’s done twelve. On top of that, once he’s there he charges for meet-and-greets and photo ops, and it’s gays who are putting a lot of that money in his pocket. (Unless you’re [i]too[i/] gay. Then there’s no photo because he won’t pose with you.) Gays are also the ones glued to their tv sets each week, boosting his show’s ratings while they queer every gaze between him and his on-screen brother. [i]Idiots.[i/] This guy doesn’t even have the testicular fortitude of Sabrina the Teenage Witch! He won’t just come out and say what he thinks about gays, gay marriage or even politics because he knows it would hurt his career. In fact, his wife will re-Tweet stuff showing mild LGBT support just to muddy the waters and throw people, most likely Hollywood producers, off their GOP scent. However, the latest is that Stone Park Trust, the same trust that owns his Brentwood property--the same trust for which he’s the trustee--has allegedly made past donations to NOM, Prop 8 and Romney’s campaign, so anyone who thinks Ackles isn’t a Republican is nuts. His wife’s Twitter page practically spells it out, along with their very devout “I love me some Jesus” status. “Jensen’s favorite book is the Bible;” “His favorite actor is Jim Caviezel;” “His favorite time of year is Easter.” Blah, blah, blah. Man, I got nothing against anyone’s religion or their personal beliefs about gays and lesbians. Everyone, and I mean everyone, is entitled to their own opinions, but that doesn’t mean that I have to buy their product or watch their show. I’m not going to further any actor’s career so they can fight harder against my rights. And I’m sure not going to give someone like Ackles a starring role in my fantasies. I mean, compare his douchebaggery with the incredibly respectful and classy comments George Clooney made about constantly being called gay. Night and day. Night and day. WAKE UP AND SMELL THE HOMOPHOBIA, PEOPLE. STOP LUSTING OVER ASSHOLES.
Why do they hate white people and especially white gay people so much ?
Has she ever played anything else?
Be proud and show off the little guy.
The old thread is full, so we start anew!
...and these are some of her pupils
Is this a fucking joke? What say you, fine fashion denizens of DL?
I never really saw her do a long stand up set like that before. It was quite funny at times and I laughed out loud a lot BUT she must be the worst mother imaginable. The show is basically like a roast of her children. She has no boundaries. Has she no clue how harmful it is to children to be spoken about like that? and on TV too!!!??
I'm scared!
I've been coming to DL longer than most, and I have to say the negativity around here is becoming deafening. DLers love to pat themselves on the back and claim they're so witty and wise. But this place has just become a sounding board for sheer hate. Hate for black celebrities, openly gay entertainers and basically anyone who has achieved any kind of success. On top of that, it's not even new material. Just the same tired shit again and again.
Fox News host Andrea Tantaros said on Thursday during the show "Outnumbered" that she was "dead serious" when she wondered aloud whether the White House was "anti-Semitic." Tantaros made the comments during a segment on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's upcoming address to Congress. "I think it is time that we ask the question — I'm dead serious about this — is this White House anti-semitic?" she said. Her co-host, Lisa "Kennedy" Montgomery, looked taken aback, calling that "a pretty heavy charge." "I’m asking the question," Tantaros responded. Kennedy replied that there's "absolutely" bad blood between Obama and Netanyahu, but she added, "To say that the President is — " Tantaros cut her off: "I’m not saying that! I’m asking the question. Because we have never seen an administration more coordinated in their attacks, from Susan Rice to John Kerry to the president, repeatedly, at Netanyahu, calling him, 'destructive.' It’s just a question!" Watch below via Media Matters.

I''m lesbian, 43, in good shape, financially solvent, educated and attractive. I''m very sexual and sometimes would just like to be able to hook up like gay guys do for some good, old fashioned sex. Are there any mature, attractive, adventurous, interesting women out there who would love to be wined, dined, entertained and then shagged senseless? I''m nice, drama-free, kind, thoughtful, a great cook and love fine wine and good conversation, but let''s face it, I really need some nice tits to play with and a wet, willing pussy to indulge in. Any takers? Would you?
Horny lesbian
Never mind the great stuff Patty said last night in her speech. Apparently, she wasn't perfectly eloquent afterwards and people assume her comments mean that everyone fighting for LGBTQ people and people of color should.....protect white women. How they got that from her comments, I have no idea. But then again, they are Always Offended.
Sisters of the Perpetually Offended Strike Again: Patricia Arquette
A Texas jury reached a guilty verdict in the murder trial of Eddie Ray Routh, the ex-Marine charged with killing former U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, author of the memoir American Sniper. Routh was sentenced to life in prison without parole for shooting Kyle and his friend Chad Littlefield to death at a gun range near Fort Worth in 2013. Defense lawyers had argued that Routh suffers from paranoid schizophrenia; Routh had pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. Kyle's autobiography, published in 2012, spent months on The New York Times best-seller list and was adapted by director Clint Eastwood in the film American Sniper, in which Kyle is portrayed by Bradley Cooper.

The Daily Mail Publishes Horrifying New Pix of Madonna Holding A Respiratory Inhaler
That yummy blond choreographer/dancer/A&F model who worked with Britney Spears...
Daily Mail.com [italic]Radio 1 has banned Madonna for being 'irrelevant and old' for its listeners The 56-year-old singer has been dropped from the station's playlist The singer's latest single has been available since December 20 last year It has only been played on the station ONCE since its release[/italic] She has dominated the airwaves during 30 years as a chart-topper, but now Radio 1 has decided that Madonna is an immaterial girl and just too old for its teenage listeners. Despite her determined efforts to look – and sound – youthful, the 56-year-old has been dropped from the station’s playlist that determines which songs are played by DJs during the day. Madonna’s latest song is Living For Love and has been available for airplay since December 20 last year. Yet it has been played on Radio 1 just once – on January 9 when DJ Annie Mac played it on her evening show. But that was after 7pm, when songs not on the playlist can be broadcast. The track is the first single from the mother of four’s new album, Rebel Heart. The station last night said the single had been omitted from playlists on the basis of ‘audience relevance’ and ‘musical merit’. A Radio 1 insider said: ‘At the end of the day it’s all about relevance. It’s natural that as an artist gets older their audience goes elsewhere and Radio 1 has to reflect that. ‘The station has a duty to meet the needs of younger listeners. I don’t think the audience is losing sleep that it is not playing Madonna in the same way that it used to.’ The snub represents a remarkable fall from grace for the star who notched up 13 UK No 1s between 1985 and 2008. She finds herself alongside Sir Cliff Richard, Take That, Kate Bush and Robbie Williams on a long list of artists who struggle to get new material played on the station. Madonna’s single is being played on Radio 2, which caters for an audience aged over 35. By contrast, Sir Paul McCartney’s new single will be played by Radio 1 even though the former Beatle is 72. This is because the track is a collaboration with rapper Kanye West, 37, and pop mega-star Rihanna, 26. A Radio 1 spokesman said: ‘Tracks are chosen on musical merit, and while around 40 per cent of the country’s 15 to 29-year-olds tune into Radio 1 each week, an artist’s age is never a factor.’ Madonna’s spokesman declined to comment.
John Boehner hasn't talked to Senate Majority leader McConnell in TWO WEEKS and the House neo-cons are practically accusing McConnell of being a traitor to the cause. Boehner is scared so shitless of making a wrong move that he couldn't even answer a single question from the press regarding how the House will respond to the Senate's compromise on the Homeland Security bill.
I've never seen her before. Can you take a look and let me know.

The "blind date" season. Could be interesting..
Most of my Social Security check is going to tokens to keep a certain blond self-sucker in business. You?
Yesterday was the premiere of season 10, after 9 criminally overlooked seasons. (At least the show has a strong cult following, I suppose.) Any thoughts? I thought the first episode was okay. I guess I was a little underwhelmed, considering it was the big season premiere, but it definitely had its funny bits. I hope the next few are better. Really, though, I just want to see Charlie Day every week. I have a somewhat inexplicable crush on Charlie Day.

New Kids on the Block's Jonathan Knight Will Compete on The Amazing Race By Patrick Gomez, 12/19/2014 AT 09:05 PM EST Does Jonathan Knight have the right stuff to win The Amazing Race? The former New Kids on the Block member and his boyfriend, Harley Rodriguez, have been revealed as one of 11 couples competing on the next season of the CBS reality competition. Knight, 46, and his personal trainer boyfriend, 41, have more than six years' experience traveling together as a couple, which they can draw on as they race around the world, but not all of the competitors will have that same advantage. For the first time in the show's 13 years on the air, five of teams will be comprised of strangers who have been paired together by the show for the ultimate blind date.

It's weird because he can actually carry it off with his hairy daddy thing--he's still about the hottest guy in porn right now, with his huge muscles, his hair, his gorgeous eyes, and his quiet super-confidence. But I would also say that right now he's the fattest major gay porn star working right now.
I still have a crush despite having been rejected almost 3 years ago. I just can't get over it. So pathetic. You?

The authors investigated the role of homosexual arousal in exclusively heterosexual men who admitted negative affect toward homosexual individuals. Participants consisted of a group of homophobic men (n = 35) and a group of nonhomophobic men (n = 29); they were assigned to groups on the basis of their scores on the Index of Homophobia (W. W. Hudson & W. A. Ricketts, 1980). The men were exposed to sexually explicit erotic stimuli consisting of heterosexual, male homosexual, and lesbian videotapes, and changes in penile circumference were monitored. They also completed an Aggression Questionnaire (A. H. Buss & M. Perry, 1992). Both groups exhibited increases in penile circumference to the heterosexual and female homosexual videos. Only the homophobic men showed an increase in penile erection to male homosexual stimuli. The groups did not differ in aggression. Homophobia is apparently associated with homosexual arousal that the homophobic individual is either unaware of or denies. This study examined the relationship between homophobia (defined as self-reported negative affect, avoidance, and aggression toward homosexuals) and homosexual aggression. Self-identified heterosexual college men were assigned to homophobic (n = 26) and nonhomophobic (n = 26) groups on the basis of their scores on the Homophobia Scale (HS; L. W. Wright, H. E. Adams, & J. A. Bernat, 1999). Physical aggression was examined by having participants administer shocks to a fictitious opponent during a competitive reaction time (RT) task under the impression that the study was examining the relationship between sexually explicit material and RT. Participants were exposed to a male homosexual erotic videotape, their affective reactions were assessed, and they then competed in the RT task against either a heterosexual or a homosexual opponent. The homophobic group reported significantly more negative affect, anxiety, and anger-hostility after watching the homosexual erotic videotape than did the nonhomophobic group. Additionally, the homophobic group was significantly more aggressive toward the homosexual opponent, but the groups did not differ in aggression toward the heterosexual opponent. Discuss...

The masked Islamic State militant known as "Jihadi John", who has been pictured in the videos of the beheadings of Western hostages, has been named. The BBC understands he is Mohammed Emwazi, a Kuwaiti-born British man believed to be from West London, who was known to UK security services. They chose not to disclose his name earlier for operational reasons. Emwazi first appeared in a video last August, when he apparently killed the American journalist James Foley. He was later thought to have been pictured in the videos of the beheadings of US journalist Steven Sotloff, British aid worker David Haines, British taxi driver Alan Henning, and American aid worker Abdul-Rahman Kassig, also known as Peter. Last month, the militant appeared in a video with the Japanese hostages Haruna Yukawa and Kenji Goto, shortly before they were killed. Emwazi is believed to be an associate of a former UK control order suspect, who travelled to Somalia in 2006 and is allegedly linked to a facilitation and funding network for Somali militant group al-Shabab.
'The allegations are completely false': Cliff Richard speaks out as police search his home amid claims underage boy was sexually abused at rally hosted by Billy Graham in 1985 Sir Cliff Richard has today vehemently the claim that he committed a sexual offence with a boy under the age of 16 in the 1980s. The 73-year-old's luxury apartment in Sunningdale, Berkshire, was searched today for five and a half hours hours by eight plain-clothes police officers. A police spokesman said the allegation involved a boy under 16 years of age and dated from the 1980s in the South Yorkshire area.

Since facts do indeed have a liberal bias, the programming solution was never to prop up a bunch of liberal figureheads. I would have settled for actual news coverage that didn't embrace "the view from nowhere," as media critic Jay Rosen so famously put it. Both sides don't do it, and false equivalence is not journalism. Take a side! Just allow it to be dictated by actual facts, not some hack from a right-wing think tank. Disclose potential conflicts, don't let your news anchors collect fat checks for speaking to groups they're supposed to cover. It's really not as complicated as you think -- unless, of course, the real goal is to push the ownership's corporate agenda: Link: As its afternoon shows hosted by Ronan Farrow and Joy Reid are canceled due to poor ratings, MSNBC is reportedly planning to replace Chris Hayes with Rachel Maddow. It was hardly a surprise Thursday when ratings-challenged MSNBC announced the cancellation of the poor-performing afternoon programs hosted by Ronan Farrow and Joy Reid after less than a year, with veteran news anchor Thomas Roberts stepping in to preside over the two-hour block from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Until a permanent replacement is named for Roberts’s 5:30 a.m. program Way Too Early, the 6 a.m. Morning Joe hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski will temporarily take up the slack by starting a half-hour earlier. But according to knowledgeable sources at the Comcast-owned cable network, Thursday’s moves were only the opening salvo in a wider programming shakeup. In the relatively near term, two well-placed sources predicted to The Daily Beast, Chris Hayes will be relieved of his weak-performing 8 p.m. show All In, to be replaced by the current 9 p.m. host of The Rachel Maddow Show, while a talent search is currently underway to fill the prime-time slot to be vacated by Maddow.An MSNBC spokesperson—who tried put a happy face on the demotions with talk of prime-time specials and “multiplatform” national reporting for the still-employed Farrow and Reid--declined to comment on the Hayes-Maddow scenario. In the longer term, these sources said, the Rev. Al Sharpton—a larger than life personality who attracts a 35 percent African-American audience but continues, after 3½ years of nightly practice, to wrestle with his Teleprompter--could eventually be moved from his weeknight 6 p.m. slot to a weekend time period, as MNSBC President Phil Griffin attempts to reverse significant viewership slides by accentuating straight news over left-leaning opinion. “Everybody in the food chain from top to bottom understands that the Olbermann era is over,” said an MSNBC source, referring to the glory days during George W. Bush’s administration when incendiary liberal Keith Olbermann regularly attracted a million viewers—many of them seeking refuge from White House and Republican talking points.The MSNBC source said, “Going left was a brilliant strategy while it lasted and made hundreds of millions of dollars for Comcast, but now it doesn’t work any more...The goal is to move away from left-wing TV.”

Neill Blomkamp has confirmed Sigourney Weaver will reprise her role as Ripley in the forthcoming Alien film. The writer and director has been working with the Oscar-nominated actress on new sci-fi film Chappie, and said it inspired him to cast her again in his reboot of Ridley Scott’s Alien. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly he said: “[Wanting to do this Alien movie] did have to do with having Sigourney on Chappie. It’s just something that I’ve always wanted one day to be part of. “I talked to her about her experience making those films and what she thought about Ripley and everything else, it informed and changed the film I wanted to make into something different.” Biggest blockbusters to see in 2015 Blomkamp announced the reboot last week on Instagram, posting some visual concepts of his reimagined Alien world. The writer-director, whose past films include District 9 and Elysium, said he came up with the idea for the movie a few years ago and began writing the script without Fox knowing about it. “Fox never knew. I just worked on it when I could. Before I knew it, I had this really awesome film with a lot of artwork and a lot of backstory. And then I didn’t know whether I was going to make it or not. So I just kind of sat on it for a while.”

This morning I woke up to one of my cats sitting on top a curtain rod, starting at me. He stayed up there and paced back and forth of a good 20 minutes, I kept expecting the whole thing to come crashing down. The same cat figured out how to turn the paper shredder off and on and he taught his sister to do it as well. They sit in my office pawing the power switch off and on until I pull the plug. He also can open the refrigerator and helps himself to whatever is in there. I try to get him to stop, but I'm usually laughing at them when I catch them in the act. Does your pet do some unusual stuff?

I don't care about some porn star (and let's call her what she is) and her basketball husband. And people are so gullible thinking this was real.

OF COURSE IT WAS FAKE! This whole reality TV shit is getting really disturbing. So transparent and fake in front of our own eyes, and we love to think that it's real. It's sick.

I am way late to the game on this one. I am going to be vague as I do not want to spoil the show for anyone... I am into the 8th episode of the 2nd season.. Random observations Has Robin Wright ever been better? She is amazing. The best written character on the show. What strikes me the most is what she doesn't say. The character says very little in a sense. It is what that is left unsaid that what makes her so enticing to watch. The first season was SO MUCH better than this 2nd season. My favorite angle was the balance of the journalists and the politicians. After what happened with Zoey and then her journalist boyfriend, it appears this angle is done? Peter Russo is by far my favorite male character. What a brilliant job this guy did... The thing about this show that really pissed me off is that it tricked me. Once Francis did what he did to Peter, the show veered into pure soap opera. Then the first episode of the 2nd season with Zoey? It was brilliant and shocking, but pure soap opera.. I had no idea until late in the first season what a loon Kevin Spacey's character is. The show is almost campy.. still enjoyable, but its basically trashy fun.

I can see why he was afraid to come out ten years ago, but at this point the leading man roles have dried up and he''s not going to have much more of a career unless he gets some attention. In this he''s sort of like Ricky Martin: Ricky also had a huge career ten years ago that dried up, but when he came out he was embraced by the American gay community. Wouldn''t Diesel be too if he came out?

Former Gay Bodybuilder Bob Paris updates us on where he is now
Took the L from Manhattan to my usual stop in Brooklyn, about 8:30 this morning. Turned the corner and there was some guy taking a piss against a building. At least he had his back to passing traffic. At lunch I went out to get a quick sandwich and there was some guy standing right on the sidewalk, dick hanging out, pissing into a pile of snow piled up against the parking meter. Making no effort to hide anything, his hands were in his jacket pocket while the dick did the deed. I wasn't offended, but more bemused. To be honest, under different circumstances, I would find the sight of a large, uncut dick with a big stream gushing through the skin to be quite hot.

Obviously actors are imaginitive people and fetishes/weird kinks shouldn't be a surprise but as I am someone who is also a bit of a freak...I desperately want these questions answered. I'm sure it's not news that Michael Arden likes to get pissed on? The watersports rumors have circulated enough around the community for me to believe them...which makes me wonder whether Andy Mientus is a watersports guy too. I'm not judging.. i'm horny. Cheyenne Jackson and Ricky Martin have both admitted to foot fetishes, but Wesley Taylor has not and I feel like it's painfully obvious. I may be seeing what I want to see, but all the foot threads in his "billy green" web series seem to be pretty crystal clear. And then I heard from an inside source that all of Wesley's friends tease him for it and that he's totally open about it amongst his friends. You wanna smell my feet, Wesley? Be my guest. Finally, someone please reveal the truth about Sondheim and the sex dungeon. I've heard SO many conflicting stories and I want some evidence. As a twink who enjoys being dominated by powerful and intelligent men, i need to know.

So many lesbians I know have rescue dogs or shelter dogs or once-feral dogs they've found that have "problems" that almost never go away: they snarl or yap at strangers, bite, etc. None of the gay men I know have dogs like that. Why does this always happen? The lesbians are often nice women, but their dogs are always such damaged goods and they never really work intensively with them via obedience school programs to make them much better. You'll hear them say, "Oh, Kaya is MUCH better than she was," all the while Kaya is snarling and snapping at children that walk by.
Thanks to this fucked up, entitled lesbian for giving the Pat Robertson's of this world more ammunition. Can you imagine a gay man saying this shit and getting away with it? I live in the liberal bubble of Park Slope, Brooklyn, where no yuppie would ever admit to wanting their kid to be anything in particular, other than happy. But more often than not, we define happiness as some variation on our own lives, or at least the lives of our expectations. If we went to college, we want our kids to go to college. If we like sports, we want our kids to like sports. If we vote Democrat, of course we want our kids to vote Democrat. I’m gay. And I want my kid to be gay, too. Many of my straight friends, even the most liberal, see this logic as warped. It’s one thing for them to admit that they would prefer their kids to be straight, something they’ll only begrudgingly confess. But wanting my daughter to be a lesbian? I might as well say I want her to grow up to be lactose intolerant. “Don’t you want her to be happy?” one friend asked. Perhaps he just meant that it’s easier to be straight in a homophobic culture. But this attitude complies with, even reinforces, that culture in the first place. A less-charitable interpretation is that he thinks being straight is superior. When I was a teenager, my father cautioned me against marrying a black person. “I’m just trying to protect you,” he said. But it was impossible to know whether he meant to insulate me from the world’s bias or implicitly rationalize his own. The idea that no one would choose to be gay is widely held — even in the gay rights movement. In the early ’90s, partly as a response to the destructive notion that gay people could be changed, activists pressed the idea of sexuality as a fixed, innate state. Scientists even tried to prove that there’s a “gay gene.” These concepts about sexual orientation helped justify the case for legal protections. The idea that folks are “born gay” became not only the theme of a Lady Gaga song, but the implicit rationale for gay rights. “I wouldn’t even choose for myself to be gay,” a friend once told me. It was a sad admission, because she was. Once upon a time, of course, “gay” meant “happy.” But eventually, the synonyms grew apart. Gay became an unfortunate, even pitiable status. When the gay liberation activist Franklin Kameny launched a simple effort in 1968 to proclaim that “gay is good,” it was because, at the time, it very much wasn’t. Until 1973, the American Psychological Association considered homosexuality a form of mental illness. And while gay-positive culture has flourished since, our aspirations haven’t kept pace. It’s more widely acceptable to be gay in America today, but that’s not the same as being desirable. In my house, though, it is. Here you might expect me to say something about how, if my daughter were gay, she would undoubtedly face challenges and hurdles she wouldn’t encounter if she were straight. Maybe. And maybe if I weren’t an upper-middle-class white lesbian living in a liberal city, I’d have such worries. But no matter what, I’d want my child to be herself. If I lived in, say, North Carolina, with an adopted son from Morocco, I’d like to think I would encourage him to be Muslim, if that’s what he chose. I’d do this even though his life would probably be easier if he didn’t. It’s also easier to succeed as a dentist than an artist. But if my daughter wants to be an artist, I’ll encourage her all the way — and work to destroy any barriers along her path, not put them up myself. Plus, I’ve never for a single second regretted being gay, nor saw it as anything other than an asset and a gift. My parents were ridiculously supportive from Day One, and I had a great community of friends and mentors who made me feel unconditionally accepted. By the time my daughter comes of age, she’ll have even more of a support network, including two moms, for crying out loud."

The project, based on James Patterson’s novel “The Thomas Berryman Number,” follows a female FBI agent working in the Criminal Section of the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division who finds herself caught between her radical real family and her professional family. Phylicia Rashad plays savvy Washington player who has faced discrimination for her race and sexual orientation, and fights to protect the independence and integrity of her high-profile Civil Rights Division. Why would they make the character a lesbian? Sounds like her sexual orientation was just thrown in there, with no context.

I have been to Lesbos, a small island off the Greek coast. I have spoken to the local residents who denied Sappho's residency on the island. They are very angry that their beautiful island is considered square one of female to female sex. Sappho is a bogus myth. Most of the island's residents are STRAIGHT and are homophobic. Stop calling yourself a "lesbian" if you were not born on Lesbos. In fact the island's people call themselves Hellenic as the island is under control of the Greek government. Stop pissing the island's residents because Sappho is totally mythological and NEVER lived there. You are just a gay woman and NOT a lesbian. End of story.

Gross, self-pitying dirty old man who only thinks of himself. "He has a reputation as something of a womaniser but Jack Nicholson has admitted he is now lonely and is facing dying alone. The actor said that he still has a "yearning" to be with somebody but believes his chances are "not very realistic". The 77-year-old lamented how he cannot chat up women in public any more and that they no longer trust him because of his reputation as "Jack the Jumper". Nicholson also opened up about his stormy, decades long affair with Anjelica Huston and described the time they split up as the "toughest period of my life". In an interview with US magazine Closer, Nicholson spoke with rare candour about how his life of hell-raising had left him bereft. He said he was regretful that his philandering had left him without a steady partner to take care of him in his old age. Nicholson said: "I would love that one last romance but I'm not very realistic about it happening. What I can't deny is my yearning. "I'm definitely still wild at heart, but I've struck biogravity. "I can't hit on women in public anymore. I didn't decide this; it just doesn't feel right at my age. "I have had everything a man could ask for but no one could say I'm successful with affairs of the heart."

Oh, Aaron Schock, we have so missed reporting on you for the last three days or so! But we are back, because things continue to go poorly for you, you dumb, cuddly animal, and we promise we will not leave your side again, as long as you keep doing dumb, cuddly things. Aaron has hired him some nice fancy Washington lawyers and a PR firm, due to the fact that his hills are alive with ethics violations: Schock’s decision to hire outside help to manage the continuing fallout signals a new, more serious stage of the unfolding scandal. He has flown on private jets, stayed in five-star hotels and collected tens of thousands of dollars in mileage reimbursements from his campaign and the government. In addition, Schock used his campaign account last year to purchase a nearly $74,000 Chevy Tahoe that he uses while in the district. Schock’s office said he is conducting an internal audit to review his spending practices. A particular issue that Politico wants to know about, preferably in the winnable hours in the morning, is a really fancy trip Aaron took to London a while back: According to the documents, Schock flew from Washington to London’s Heathrow Airport on June 16, 2011. He was joined by Shea Ledford, a longtime friend who is now on Schock’s payroll as a district special assistant. Schock attended the Royal Ascot, a world-famous steeplechase, followed by drinks with then-U.S. Ambassador to England Louis Susman and his wife. He also was slated to visit Moss Bros. on Regent Street, one of the most famous men’s clothing stores in Europe, according to his schedule. Schock also participated in a Patron Dinner at the posh members-only club Annabel’s and was invited to formal dinners at Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace. Schock missed two days of votes during the trip. OOH, clothes-shopping in London with Shea and then drinky drinks at Annabel’s, SEXYFUNTIME. But was the trip a political trip, and who paid for it, is what Politico wants to know. Because if he used tax or campaign moneys for it, he certainly did not get Congress’s Ethics Committee to sign the permission slip saying he could go. By the way, this is Shea, he is the boy who held the Bible for Aaron when he was sworn in as a congresscritter and went to London with him, but they are not boyfriends, because why would a person think that? They probably talked about sexing up the ladies the whole time they were shopping. All of this started when the world learned about his elegant new, not-at-all-gay Downton Abbey office, which led to the filing of history’s gayest ethics complaint. But Aaron shook that off like his girl Taylor Swift, until later in the week, when his not-racist staffer had to resign to spend more time being racist on Facebook. THEN we found out about Jonathon with an O, Aaron’s adorable personal photographer, that he bought with tax and campaign moneys. OH AND MAYBE he sold his Peoria house, to a donor, for way more than it was worth, because that’s not shady at all. So this has all been happening, it’s not been a very good month for poor, hot Aaron, and now he has just been hit with yet another ethics complaint, from that mean liberal group CREW, who says that Aaron is spending too much tax and campaign moneys on private planes, probably so he and his hot photographer Jonathon can have some privacy away from Shea’s jealous, prying eyes: In a release, CREW said it “asked the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) to investigate whether Rep. Schock broke House rules in light of new evidence that the congressman improperly used taxpayer money and campaign funds to rent private, non-charter flights for travel. More from the release: “ Recent news reports revealed Rep. Schock used funds from his taxpayer-funded congressional office and campaign funds to pay two companies to rent non-commercial, non-charter aircraft. Lobair, LLC was paid nearly $17,000 from 2012 to 2014. Federal Aviation Administration records show Lobair is not a commercial charter service and the single plane it owns is not registered for commercial use. CREW’s executive director Anne Weismann also added that “where there is smoke, there is usually fire, and Rep. Schock’s finances are starting to look like a five-alarm inferno.” Ha ha ha, some might say they are FLAMING, can’t possibly understand why they would say that, but some might.

A Public Policy Polling (PPP) national survey conducted between February 20th and February 22nd of Republican voters, found that an astonishing 57 percent of Republicans want to dismantle the Constitution, and establish Christianity as the official national religion. Only 30 percent oppose making Christianity the national religion. Although the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment clearly states that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,” GOP voters want to cast aside that provision and impose Christianity as the official American religion. While a number of red states have passed statutes forbidding the implementation of Islam-based sharia law in their states, Republicans apparently have no misgivings about turning the United States into a Christian theocracy. The poll’s crosstabs reveal that support for making Christianity the official religion is strongest among Mike Huckabee (94 percent), Rick Perry (83 percent), and Ben Carson (78 percent) supporters. Ben Carson is the preferred presidential candidate of those who want to impose Christianity on the nation with 24 percent support. Mike Huckabee and Scott Walker are tied for 2nd place at 16 percent. Scott Walker (35 percent) and Jeb Bush (22 percent) are the leading candidates among GOP voters who do not want to establish a national religion. The PPP survey also found that 2/3rds of Republican voters do not believe in global warming, and 49 percent do not believe in the theory of evolution. Not only do they wish to establish a national religion, but it appears that their version of Christianity is one that is at odds with the scientific consensus in climatology and biology. While a clear majority of Americans self-identify as Christians, most Americans outside the GOP, would be uncomfortable with conservative Dominionist theology. Dominionism calls for imposing a theocracy in America where Christianity is declared the official religion, and the nation is governed by “Biblical law”. Republican voters seem all too eager to embrace Dominionist theology, even though doing so would violate the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Freedom of Religion is one of the bedrock principles established in our founding documents. Republican voters are gearing up to elect candidates who will undermine the First Amendment and take away our Freedom of Religion. Independents and Democrats must be prepared to stop any candidate who would dismantle the Establishment Clause, whether it be Mike Huckabee, Ben Carson or one of the other GOP presidential candidates.
57% Of Republicans Say Dismantle Constitution And Make Christianity National Religion
I have heard people say that a kidney stone is perhaps the worst pain a human can endure.\ \ Anyone had one?\ \ I am curious.
The premise of the show is clearly meant to be ironic: it's 1995 and a naturalized American of Taiwanese origin is moving his also-naturalized Taiwanese wife and American-born kids from DC to Orlando, where he has been away establishing ownership of an 'American-themed' restaurant. There is a whole 'wink,wink' nod to the stereotype of naturalized Chinese people solely opening Chinese restaurants. I get it. Is there such a thing as an 'American-themed' dry-cleaning store? There mine as well be. The son, from whose perspective I expect the rest of the episodes to come, has an "unpronounceable" Asian name and emphatically tells his new teacher and class-mates to "just call me Eddie". Yeah, ok, so he wants to emphasize that he's an American. Point taken. Eddie is a huge fan of hip-hop and wears a Notorious B.I.G T-shirt and hopes to ingratiate himself with a black kid who he meets in the school cafeteria. The black kid immediately rejects Eddie, stating that he doesn't like other kids and that his best friend is 40-years-old. Are we supposed to laugh at the thought that the black kid's friend is a perv? No kid talks like that. At the same time, Eddie doesn't fit in with the white kids at the next table, who call his mom's home-made lunch "worms" (Come on, even white kids could recognize pasta in 1995). Eddie sadly goes back to the weird black kid's table, whose basic message is, "Well, what do expect from (racist) white kids?" Eddie's emasculated father and his over-bearing mother end up in the principal's office to berate the principal over the blossoming friendship between their son and the 40-year-old-loving black kid who is otherwise undefined. American audiences have not seen a major-network TV series centered on an Asian-American family since the days of Margaret Cho's earnest, yet unsuccessful take on her Korean-American roots in "All-American Girl". "Fresh Off the Boat" should head back out to sea and come back with writers who have better ideas of what it means to be Asian in America.

Facially, that is. I see her now, and with the right lighting she can still pass as a woman in her 40s, circa "Ray of Light", thanks to her latest cheeks. Sometimes she even looks the way she did when she did "Evita". The cheeks give her a more fuller, youthful look (at times). So, what age do you think she''ll be when plastic surgery can''t even make her look young anymore? She looks like she could be hitting that moment only a few years from now. Somehow, Cher was able to keep up with it, even if she looked ridiculous. She already had a boney, weird angular face. Madonna never had that. She had a gigantic Italian face that deflated a decade ago, giving her the appearance of a mummy. She seems to be getting that bloated, menopausal look to her face, even with the facelift sutures trying to hold it back.

Republican Christian-bots continue to find themselves befuddled by that old piece of paper from over 200 years ago commonly referred to as the “Constitution of the United States of America.” They particularly need help understanding what the words “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof” mean. This lack of reading comprehension is most certainly behind yet another proposal in the state of Idaho that is sure to be declared unconstitutional should it reach that point. The Kootenai County (Idaho) GOP is proposing a resolution which would declare the state of Idaho as a “Christian state.” The proposal would bolster the “Judeo-Christian bedrock of the founding of the United States.” According to Reuters: “The resolution to be voted on by the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee is non-binding, meaning it does not have the effect of laws or rules. The proposal seeks that Idaho be “formally and specifically declared a Christian state,” guided by a Judeo-Christian faith reflected in the U.S. Declaration of Independence where all authority and power is attributed to God, the resolution reads. The measure argues that the Christian faith is under “strident attack” in the United States, and cites as evidence the absence of Christian traditions and symbols in public institutions such as schools.” We’re not sure what the hell is going on in Idaho these days, but this comes on the heels of another Idaho Republican who backs faith-healing parents in cases where their child could die without adequate medical treatment. And then there is the case of yet another Idaho Republican who apparently doesn’t understand that pills swallowed by females do not end up in their vaginas. Jeff Tyler, a member of the committee and supporter of the “let’s make Idaho a Christian state” proposal, declared: We’re a Christian community in a Christian state and the Republican Party is a Christian Party,” At least he’s right about one thing. A significant portion of the Republican party wants the U.S. to be a Christian Theocracy, which isn’t any different than what Muslim extremists want for their own respective country. No wonder these people are often referred to as the “Christian Taliban.” Their mindsets are exactly the same as Muslim extremists who wish for their nations to be religiously homogenous. If these folks have their way, there would be no Muslims, atheists, agnostics, Buddhists, homosexuals, etc allowed in the U.S. This is what Republicans consider to be “freedom?” In their perverse minds, “freedom” means having the ability to legally cram their Christian viewpoints and symbols down the throat of every citizen in the U.S. unfettered by the government. Thankfully, the Founding Fathers witnessed religious oppression in Europe long before America became a nation, and had the foresight and wherewithal to insert the Establishment Clause into the First Amendment of the Constitution. Tyler also said: “It’s important that Christians stand up and be unashamed to say they’re Christians.” Add the words”Muslim,”, “atheists”, etc., to that statement, and we’ll be onto something. That’s real freedom. As much as Christians like to think they are being oppressed in this country, they do not suffer nearly the same treatment as those in the minority religions do. In their perverse minds, “oppression” means not having the ability to shove their beliefs into every nook and cranny of American society, or to legally discriminate against those who do not believe as they do. For as long as they continue to incorrectly believe that America is constitutionally a “Christian nation.” their “we’re so oppressed!” schtick will continue and manifest itself through goofy, draconian proposals like this one. Plus, it makes for good political fodder for their mostly Republican and Christian constituents. Thankfully, the majority of U.S. judges have read the Constitution, so the odds of Idaho ever becoming a “Christian state” are about the same as Dick Cheney starting an orphanage for poor childre

FEBRUARY 26, 2015 WASHINGTON — Jeb Bush plans to address a crowd of skeptical conservatives in Washington this week, a challenge complicated by his more moderate views on immigration and education and on the historically awkward relationship between the Bush family and the GOP’s right wing. The presumed front-runner in the early field of potential Republican presidential primary candidates is scheduled to speak Friday at the Conservative Political Action Conference, an annual event that will feature a lineup of national competitors jockeying for attention. Bush’s appearance carries the most suspense. He will be wrestling with lingering conservative distrust from previous Bush presidencies while trying to paint a vision broad enough to straddle factions of the Republican Party — which is even more polarized than when his father and brother occupied the White House. Bush is planning to tout his conservative record during his eight years as Florida governor, according to those who have spoken to him recently, while not shying away from positions that give many conservatives pause: his moderate position on immigration and his advocacy of Common Core education standards. “The governor is aware there are some conservatives who have questions about where he stands,” said Jim Towey, a longtime confidant of the Bush family. “The good thing for Jeb is he has a record. It’s easy to change words and make pronouncements and sound like a conservative. But governing like a conservative is a real challenge.” Although no other family has so dominated Republican politics over the past quarter-century, the Bushes have not always enjoyed widespread support of conservatives. During the 1980 presidential primary campaign, George H.W. Bush derided Ronald Reagan’s proposals to cut taxes for the wealthy as “voodoo economics.” Later, after serving eight years as Reagan’s vice president, Bush pledged at the 1988 Republican National Convention: “Read my lips, no new taxes.” Two years later, he enraged conservatives when he agreed to raise taxes as part of a budget deal with Democrats. The elder Bush also had to fight back against the idea that he wasn’t tough enough — a notion that Newsweek memorably put on its cover in 1987 with the headline, “Fighting the Wimp Factor.” When George W. Bush was laying the groundwork for his own presidential campaign, he was pilloried by conservatives who were gathering at CPAC in 1999. Senator Lamar Alexander said George W. Bush was using “weasel words,” while Steve Forbes warned the party not to be “seduced by the siren song of these mushy moderates.” George W. Bush eventually won over many conservatives, partly through a focus on his born-again Christianity that helped him make inroads with the evangelical right. But Tea Party activists have grown upset about his government spending, and his willingness to bail out large financial institutions during the 2008 economic collapse. While many view Jeb Bush as more conservative than his brother or his father, he still faces an uphill battle. “Jeb Bush, I think, thinks it’s owed to him, it’s the Bush dynasty,” said Jane Aitken, the founder of the New Hampshire Tea Party Coalition. “But the grass roots is like, ‘Nooo.’ I don’t know of anybody who says, ‘Oh yeah, I’ll vote for Jeb Bush.’ ” --- Continued at link:

Now you can own a piece of history from the Rob Ford crack scandal. As part of his ongoing eBay selloff of memorabilia from his embattled mayoral reign, Councillor Ford posted four more items on the auction website Wednesday including the NFL team logo tie he was wearing on that fateful day he admitted to smoking crack cocaine and added that it was “probably in one of my drunken stupors.” Along with the tie, Ford is also auctioning off the pants he was photographed in while shopping at Wal-Mart, Bidding was already up to $1,425 by 10 p.m. What is wrong with that?
In 1999, Columba Bush, the wife of then-Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, was detained and fined by federal customs officials for misrepresenting the amount of clothing and jewelry she had bought while on a solo five-day shopping spree in Paris. The incident left the Florida first lady deeply mortified and her husband politically chagrined. Jeb Bush said his wife had misled customs officials because she did not want him to know that she had spent about $19,000 on the trip. "The embarrassment I felt made me ashamed to face my family and friends," Columba Bush said in a July 1999 speech to the Central Florida Make-a-Wish Foundation, not long after the incident. "It was the worst feeling I've ever had in my life." The ordeal did not stop her from spending, however. Less than a year later, she took out a loan to buy $42,311.70 worth of jewelry on a single day, according to records filed with the state of Florida by Mayors Jewelers. That purchase was part of a pattern by Columba Bush of borrowing to buy tens of thousands of dollars of jewelry at a time from the South Florida store over a 14-year period. Documentation available online, which does not include the details of two transactions made less than six weeks apart in 1995, shows that she spent a total of more than $90,000 at the store. Jeb Bush's political team insisted that her tastes and shopping habits should not be an issue. "Mrs. Bush bought jewelry from time to time from Mayors Jewelers over the years. Though not required to be reported, these purchases in 2000 were included as accounts payable on Governor Bush's financial disclosure that year, and paid off the next," Bush spokeswoman Kristy Campbell said by email. Campbell also said that the governor was "aware she made purchases from time to time." That kind of spending, though well within his means, may present a challenge for Jeb Bush as he prepares for a presidential run with a message that the playing field between rich and poor is not fair or level. In recent years, candidates in both parties have had to answer questions about high-dollar transactions by themselves and their family members, whether a $400 haircut for John Edwards, six-figure speaking fees for Hillary Rodham Clinton, or the number of homes and cars Mitt Romney owned.
Columba Bush's spending on jewelry could be problem for Jeb Bush campaign
Does anyone remember him doing the segment back in the 90s? There'd be dead silence from the audience during each lame joke he'd attempt to make. It was painful. He'd fall back on his, "Nothing? No?" asking the audience if they really didn't think "that" joke was funny. Tina Fey, really revived the segment. It was her and Jimmy Fallon, who I don't find funny at all, but he was able to deliver. Then he left, and it was Tina and Amy Poehler, who's amazing. Then Tina left, and it was Amy and Seth Meyers. Then she left, and now it's just Seth, who's awesome! I know jokes can still go over like lead balloons during the segment, but when I look back at the Norm Macdonald years, nothing is worse than that! I don't know why Lorne Michaels continued to let him do it. Maybe because they share the same politics. SNL had a real problem doing political satire for most of the 00s, until Sarah Palin hit the trail. The last time SNL knocked it out of the part when it came to politics, was back during the Clinton years, with their portrayals of Janet Reno, and Linda Tripp. The political sketches and Weekend Update have proven to be so well-received, that they've been spun off into their own show during the week. Perhaps I'm the only one who enjoys where SNL has headed in recent years. Everyone thought it was over after Wigg left, but the new players they have are wonderful, including our own family member: Kate McKinnon!!! SNL is never going to become what it was in the 70s, and even the Mike Meyers years again, but for where we are, I think they're doing a pretty good job. Who do you think was the worst Weekend Update news anchor?

Celebrity Caterer posted this blind item in his Oscars 2014 thread: [thread]This actor is rumored to be dipping his toes in the coming out pot. Before this I had never heard he might be gay. Yet jokes on the set are being made by him. Plays a womanizer (don't they all?) and crazy gay buzz suddenly abounds. The answer was superhot James Wolk, star of The Crazy Ones, Mad Men and Happy Endings. This thread is for gossip, sightings and photo appreciation of one of the hottest potentially gay men alive.

Yes, we know she looks like shit now, but she's full of it too. Apparently she was on The Talk recently and discussed her reconciliation with John Ritter: "We did (reconcile). I was in a beauty salon and I hadn't talked to him in a long time. I really felt so badly because I love John Ritter and it was over a contract dispute that never should have infiltrated John and I... "In the beauty salon, the receptionist comes over and says, 'You have a phone call... It's John Ritter.' I go over and pick up the phone and he says, 'Listen, I forgive you.' I had a little trouble with that, but I let that go, and I said, 'I love you and I've always loved you.'" Really? Because a few years ago her story was: "I was in the bathroom at a premiere for "Victor/Victoria" and [Amy Yasbeck] walked in and -- she's this beautiful woman. And she said, 'I am John Ritter's wife.' And I didn't know her. And, she said, 'You and John have to get together.' And she dragged me out of the bathroom and brought me to his table. And the two of us just looked at each other and hugged each other, and cried."

From the corner of her eye going down her cheek.
I'm guessing the answer is no! I think she actually started to believe that whole silly "greatest living actress" nonsense herself. Her mannered performances, self-gratifying awards acceptance speeches and that constant smirk on her face are becoming really painful to watch! And I think even her biggest fans can admit that some of her shenanigans (like that Walt Disney/Emma Thompson thing) were really embarassing. Can you imagine someone ripping Margaret Thatcher to shreds before giving her an award for The Iron Lady? Nope, but she can get away with something like this because she's Meryl fucking Streep. I just hope she'd go away, for a couple of years at least, so we can get some rest from her.
This indie movie was recommended in an article, and the Metacritic reviews were overwhelmingly positive, so I picked it up at the library. Jenny Slade played a twentysomething standup comic in Williamsburg (imagine any of Lena Dunham's characters) who was supposed to be funny, but was just awful. Fifteen minutes into it, I was thinking "This is so romcom-cliche, I'm surprised she doesn't have a gay best friend," and in he walked five minutes later. I bailed after 40 minutes. Fucking horrible, and the whole thing looked like it was shot and recorded with an iPhone. And yet it was nominated for a slew of film festival awards (see link). Did anyone else see this?
I'm smitten.

Researchers from Cambridge University have found that it is possible to make a baby using the skin cells of parents of the same sex. A stem cell research breakthrough has revealed that in just two years same-sex couples could have their own biological children. Researchers from Cambridge University have discovered that it is possible to make a baby using skin cells of parents of the same sex. The researchers have shown, for the first time, that human egg and sperm cells can be made from stem cells in the skin of two adults. They have stated that the technique could mean same-sex couples could have babies in just two years. The scientists used stem cell lines from embryos as well as cells from the skin of five different adults. Ten different donor sources have been used so far and new germ-cell lines have been created from all of them. The team, funded by The Wellcome Trust, compared the engineered stem cells with human cells from foetuses to make sure they had identical characteristics. Azim Surani, leader of the project, told The Sunday Times: “We have succeeded in the first and most important step of this process, which is to show we can make these very early human stem cells in a dish. We have also discovered that one of the things that happens in these germ cells is that epigenetic mutations, the cell mistakes that occur with age, are wiped out.” Recently, MPs voted in favour of the creation of babies with DNA from two women and one man.

Has anyone seen this show? It stars people like Jason Beghe, Jon Seda, Sophie Bush, Jesse Soffer, and Patrick Flueger. It, and "Chicago Fire," are like what NBC was doing a decade ago with "Third Watch" (which was good for kicking off Bobby Cannavale's career and getting some viewers to become familiar with Kim Raver).

A lawsuit against Comcast, Time Warner Cable Inc., Rev. Al Sharpton and the NAACP alleges that the media companies discriminated against black-owned businesses and paid activists like Sharpton to “whitewash” its practices. The complaint alleges that Comcast gave large donations to Sharpton, the NAACP and other civil rights groups to make it appear that the cable company was promoting diversity, even while it was failing to follow through on a promise to do so. The lawsuit, seeking $20 billion, was filed in Los Angeles federal court Friday by Entertainment Studios, a television company founded by black producer and comedian Byron Allen and the National Association of African-American Owned Media (NAAAOM). The complaint, which comes as regulators mull a $45-billion merger between Comcast and TWC, alleges that Comcast has refused to do business with Allen and other black media executives. “Comcast has engaged in, and is engaging in, pernicious, intentional racial discrimination in contracting,” it reads. Whether or not it gets anywhere is another question. Anyone can file a lawsuit alleging anything and claiming any amount of money. Both Sharpton and Comcast dismissed the allegations Monday. In an interview with Variety, Sharpton called the lawsuit a “bogus statement from a person who has no credibility” and he told the Hollywood Reporter that he will be bringing counterclaims for defamation. The National Action Network also questioned Allen’s credibility in its statement to the Hollywood Reporter. “We would gladly defend our relationship with any company as well as to state on the record why we found these discriminatory accusations made by said party to be less than credible and beneath the standards that we engage in.” The lawsuit also accuses Sharpton, the National Action Network (the non-profit civil rights organization he founded in 1991), the NAACP and the National Urban League, claiming that the groups signed “sham diversity agreements” with Comcast in exchange for donations, knowing that the cable company would leverage the agreements to mask its discriminatory practices. The complaint particularly calls out Sharpton and his non-profit, which it says “has a business model and track record of obtaining payments from corporate entities in exchange for his support.” This critique has been leveled at him before, in the Daily Beast and the New York Post, though neither accusation came of anything. This is the second complaint from Entertainment Studios and NAAAOM, whose president Mark DeVitre is also an executive at Allen’s company. In December the group filed a $10 billion lawsuit against AT&T and DirectTV, accusing the groups of similar discrimination. No other black-owned companies joined the accusations against Comcast. In sweeping language, this latest complaint accuses Comcast of instituting a “Jim Crow” process for licensing programs, claiming that black-owned channels are only granted “carriage agreements” (contracts allowing companies like Comcast and Time Warner to distribute a programmer’s content) if they agree to terms inferior to those given to white-owned companies. According to the complaint, black-owned businesses receive just $3 million of the $15 billion Comcast spends on channel carriage and advertising. Comcast communications director John Demmings wrote in an email that the lawsuit was “frivolous” and that company’s negotiations with the plaintiff have been in good faith. But Allen, who says he first approached the distributor seven years ago, said in a phone interview that he’d been put off by Comcast executives year after year. One executive allegedly told him that the company was “not trying to create any more Bob Johnsons,” referring to the millionaire founder of Black Entertainment Television, which was sold to Viacom in 2001 for $3 billion. “This is why black-owned media is becoming extinct,” Allen said. “It’s economic genocide.” In 2010, Comcast signed a “memorandum of understanding” with civil rights groups as part of an effort to win approval for its merger with NBC Universal. In the agreement, the cable company committed to adding 10 new minority owned and operated networks, at least four of which would be run by African Americans. Sharpton, who lobbied for the merger in a letter to the Federal Communications Commission and signed on to the memorandum, said that the company’s 2010 meeting with minority leaders was the most important factor in his decision to support Comcast’s bid. He was given a job as host for MSNBC’s PoliticsNation in August 2011, six months after the merger was approved — a move that raised questions about a potential conflict of interest. The complaint alleges that the position was part of a quid-pro-quo deal for Sharpton’s approval of the merger, as was $140,000 in donations to his National Action Network. (A Comcast spokesperson confirmed that number to the Daily Beast in 2011.) “They pay him a little bit of money instead of spending the tens of millions and billions they should be paying to the black community,” Allen said. Despite the goals laid out in the memorandum, the lawsuit says that Comcast now distributes only one black-owned channel, the Africa Network, which is run by a former Comcast executive, and that the company’s other purportedly black-owned channels are actually controlled by white-owned businesses. “Defendants NAACP, National Urban League, and Al Sharpton’s National Action Network signed onto the MOUs with Comcast knowing — and agreeing — that Comcast would use the MOUs to perpetuate civil rights violations against 100% African American–owned media companies, including Entertainment Studios,” the complaint reads. According to a New York Times and Center for Public Integrity investigation published last year, the NAACP received $30,000 in donations from Comcast between 2004 and 2012. The National Urban League, another defendant listed in the complaint, received $835,000. Both organizations expressed support for a merger between Comcast and Time Warner Cable. (For the record, lots of companies routinely and regularly donate money to such groups.) Speaking with Variety, Sharpton said that Allen had approached various civil rights groups for support in getting his channels carried, but had been turned down because Entertainment Studios’ networks were “below the standards of what we wanted to support.” Allen’s network operates eight channels and distributes 36 shows including Cars.TV, which won an Emmy for “Outstanding Lifestyle Program” in 2012. According to Allen’s attorney, Skip Miller, Entertainment Studios is the only black-owned multi-channel producer in the U.S. and its content is carried by Verizon, AT&T, RCN and a number of other distributors. A Federal Communications Commission official, who asked not to be named because of the ongoing FCC review of the Comcast-TWC merger, said that Allen is a “legitimate” producer and that the commission should take his complaint seriously. “The allegations are serious allegations and they go to the very heart of the Comcast commitment made under their first merger with NBCU,” he said, referring to the 2010 memoranda. If combined, Comcast and Time Warner Cable would control 30 percent of the American TV market, giving it broad control over the kinds of programming that get produced — a fact that has become a focal point for opposition to the proposed deal. “The FCC should look at the impact these allegations in light of what a new proposed Comcast-Time Warner Cable entity would look like,” the official said. “These allegations themselves are based on the core of what they’re talking about as relevant in the review of the merger.” The commission is expected to complete its review of the merger sometime this quarter.

Madonna revealed the full tracklist for her new album Rebel Heart on iTunes today, and there’s one especially curious inclusion. “Iconic,” the album’s ninth track, features both young hip-hop talent Chance The Rapper and legendary boxer/outrageous person Mike Tyson. Madonna popped up on Chance’s Instagram in late 2013 and again last October, around the same time Madge posted a Chance portrait on her own account, so his appearance on the album comes as no surprise. Tyson, though, is a bit of a shocker — or at least a head-scratcher. I wonder if he was in the studio at the same time as Chance; if so, between this and his recent interview with Earl Sweatshirt, Iron Mike is really getting a handle on the young hip-hop talents of the world. Rebel Heart also includes the previously announced Nicki Minaj collab “Bitch I’m Madonna” and the Nas-featuring “Veni Vedi Vici,” and it’s a whopping 19 tracks long. Full tracklist below: 01 “Living For Love” 02 “Devil Pray” 03 “Ghosttown” 04 “Unapologetic Bitch” 05 “Illuminati” 06 “Bitch I’m Madonna” (Feat. Nicki Minaj) 07 “Hold Tight” 08 “Joan Of Arc” 09 “Iconic” (Feat. Chance The Rapper & Mike Tyson) 10 “HeartBreakCity” 11 “Body Shop” 12 “Holy Water” 13 “Inside Out” 14 “Wash All Over Me” 15 “Best Night” 16 “Veni Vidi Vici” (Feat. Nas) 17 “S.E.X.” 18 “Messiah” 19 “Rebel Heart”

Despite bringing new opportunities in the short term, the sheen of an Oscar victory can sometimes only last so long. Just ask two-time winner Dianne Wiest. The 66-year-old actress, who begins previews Tuesday for off-Broadway production Rasheeda Speaking, told the New York Times she is facing money issues due to a lack of high-paying work. "I have to move out of my apartment soon," Wiest said of her struggle to cover her rent. She earned Oscars for best supporting actress for 1986's Hannah and Her Sisters and 1994's Bullets Over Broadway, both directed by Woody Allen. But after that, she found she was only getting offered roles to play "a nice mom, and that's it. That's all that ever came, except in theater." Wiest, who was the focus of one of the vignettes in 2007's David Wain-directed comedy The Ten, added that she doesn't plan on trying to write her own roles. "I think that if it's meant to happen, it will happen,” she said. “Which is I guess a real sign of stupidity." Her recent credits include the Al Pacino-starring The Humbling, released Friday, and 2012's The Odd Life of Timothy Green, along with a 2014 episode of NBC's The Blacklist.
