From Queerty: [italic]Today’s Page Six brings us the strange, lurid tale of a budding bromance between abstinent Denver Broncos QB Tim Tebow and wangsta ex-Limp Bizkit front man Fred Durst. Says Page Six: [bold]The two dined at Craig’s restaurant in West Hollywood on Wednesday night. A source said the unlikely friends met while Tebow was a star quarterback at the University of Florida: “Fred has been a fan of Tim’s since he played at Florida. Fred is from Florida and used to go watch Tim play. They stayed in contact and ran into each other at the ESPY Awards a few years ago.”[/bold] In WeHo? That’s pretty gay. And, as previously noted, the Internet has confirmed that Tim Tebow is the proud owner of gay hands and gay lisp. So, naturally, we conjecture: did the 24-year-old Tebow fall in love with the 42-year-old Durst while Durst was worshiping him from the bleachers in Florida, only to share a furtive backstage kiss at the ESPY Awards—Tebow tearing away from Durst, whispering a “I can’t do this” as he runs off to his beard. Flash forward to a hypothetical today, and Fred has finally popped the question to Tim at Craig’s. “We can do it in Washington or Maryland—it’s legal there now, too,” smiles Fred. “You know my answer, Fred,” says Tim with a smile. “And I’ve always wanted to have a Seattle wedding.” And scene.[/italic]

Anderson...calling Obama out on his position on gay marriage? While the "evolving" excuse is pretty pathetic, a fucking closet case has no right calling someone else to task for their views on gay marriage. I officially loathe that pasty-faced weasel. His cunty co-worker, Erin Burnett, needs to do a "Seriously?" segment on him.
Around this time last year I found myself dating a seemingly great guy who turned out to be a superficial asshole. I ended things after growing tired of his flakiness; however, this evening I stumbled upon a pic of his on newyorksocialdiary.com. That got me curious and come to find out, he's been going to a bunch of ritzy events in the DC/NYC area. One pic of his even featured a caption about the event being attended by the gay elite in DC. I'm no saint, but I feel pretty worthless to find out he's living the high life (and apparently fucking a bigwig at the ________ _________!). He turned out to be very selfish, manipulative, and bitchy...yet he's doing pretty damn well for himself. Go figure.
looked hot as hell last night on the premier of "Melissa & Joey". I don''t care for the shaved head, but that body and ass looked fine.
The Rialto has never been hotter! BLONDES is a much-needed hit for Encores, people are rushing to see all the Tony nominees - it's almost like a real season! Broadway, alive and vital! Shocker! Lorna Luft out of North Shore "Dolly," replaced by Jackie Piro Donovan - does the cast at North Shore know what a major bullet they've dodged? Central Park "Into the Woods" still missing its Baker?

Her only free time to rehearse is now till July. Idina and Kristin - bestest buddies in reality? All those nasty rumors untrue? If GCB goes down this week, will Idina send Kristin her a big black wreath? Tony, Tony - Jeremy Jordan? Or Danny Burstein? Jan Maxwell, Audra, or overdue Kelli? Judy Kaye, Da'Vine Joy, or Jessie Mueller? And - NEWSIES or ONCE? Peter and the Starfucker - Chin up, Christian! You're probably going to win! Stockard Channing vs Linda Lavin! Would anyone want to go to rounds with either of them? May the best bitch win! (I wonder who Christian Hoff is rooting for?) Does the LA Follies suddenly work with Vicki Clark? Was that the missing ingredient? An actual frump playing a frumpy ex-showgirl? Leap of Streep! Obviously the hot ticket for the summer - but for all the wrong reasons? Anya - Vodka! Vodka! Elaine Stritch's favorite flop musical. We're off to the races. Place your bets here, kids.

Ted Nugent goes off on 'CBS This Morning' reporter May 4, 2012 | 12:41 pm Ted Nugent sat down with "CBS This Morning" reporter Jeff Glor to discuss his recent fiery comments about President Obama and the Democrats that earned him a visit from the Secret Service. But the interview, which aired Friday morning, got fiery itself when Nugent unexpectedly yelled at both Glor and an off-camera female CBS News producer. Nugent and Glor were seated outside at Nugent's Texas ranch, discussing the rowdy comments he made in April at an National Rifle Assn. convention, where he called the Obama administration "vile, evil and America hating," and the subsequent fallout, when the rocker unexpectedly lost his cool. While answering a question about the comments and his perceived lack of moderation, Nugent asked Glor if he'd conducted a lot of interviews. "Call me when you sit down across from someone who has more families with dying little boys and girls who get a call to take them on their last fishing trip in life. Call me when you meet someone who does that more than I do. Because that's really moderate. In fact, you know what that is? That's extreme! I'm an extremely loving, passionate man, and people who investigate me honestly, without the baggage of political correctness, ascertain the conclusion that I'm a damn nice guy and if you can find a screening process more powerful than that, I'll..." And that's where the swearing begins. First at Glor, and then at the unseen CBS News producer. During the post-segment wrap-up with co-anchors Charlie Rose and Erica Hill, Glor explained that following the interview, Nugent's wife forced him to apologize and he later told Glor that he was rushed to the emergency room after their interview to have a kidney stone removed. Never a dull moment in the Nugent house.

Gavin Smith Missing: 20th Century Fox Executive Disappears In Los Angeles The Los Angeles Sheriff's Department as put out a missing persons alert for Gavin Smith, a longtime 20th Century Fox employee. Smith disappeared Tuesday and has not been seen or heard from since. Smith has worked in Fox's distribution department for 18 years and is based in Calabasas, California. Police say there is no reason to believe any trouble preceded Smith's disappearance, and that he was last seen driving his Mercedes-Benz near his family's home. Smith's son Evan Smith plays basketball for the University of Souther California and has been trying to get the word out as much as possible via Twitter: Please help me find my dad Gavin Smith. More people looking the better. My family and I thank you do much The Sheriff's Department asks that anyone with information call (800) 222-TIPS or text "TIPLA" with the information to 274637.

Have you ever met one? I did. He told me it hurt. Well, he was huge and it hurt me too. Anyway, he let me fuck him and he said, yeah, he didn't like it. It hurts too much. I felt the same way.

As I get older, I know that I really, really, really need to lose weight. As of this morning, I weighed 85 kg/187 pounds (which is far too much for someone who is only 160 cm/5''3"). I''ve already made some changes to my life over the past couple of months, losing 4 kg/9 pounds in the process (without even trying to lose weight!). So now I''m on a mission - perhaps down to 80kg/176 pounds by the end of the year. Feel free to join me, DataLoungers!

The new Gallup poll shows that he will be losing more votes than gaining them. And I'm pretty sure the Obama campaign has their own internal polling, which may show the same thing.
Initially, the Japanese government wanted to evacuate Tokyo but didn't because they didn't want to deal with the fear and the panic. And now that the reactors are in "cold shutdown", supposedly, the temps are spiking higher than ever. The mayor lost all of his body hair from his neck down, and has had constant nose-bleeds since Fukushima started. Many of the Japanese feel that they should stay even though they know the risks because they feel it is their "duty" to absorb the radiation because it is their fault so they have to bear it and not leave. It's even their children's "duty" to endure it. So, lot's of Japanese are committing suicide, getting cancer, nosebleeds, and all sorts of radioactive symptoms and diseases. Where the fuck is the media on this?
Fukushima reactors are at highest temperatures they've ever been!

May 12th, 2012 Washington (CNN) – Rick Santorum is urging Mitt Romney to "step up" and weaponize the issue of same-sex marriage. "This is a very potent weapon, if you will, for Governor Romney if he's willing to step up and take advantage of a president who is very much out of touch with the values of America," Santorum said in an eye-opening live interview with Arkansas TV station KARK, a CNN affiliate. The former presidential candidate made the remarks before appearing at the Benton County Republican Lincoln Day Dinner in the northwest corner of the state Friday night. Santorum's comments also came the night before Romney's speech before the Christian conservative Liberty University in Virginia on Saturday. Romney's one time rival noted the recent results of a ballot issue in North Carolina where voters approved a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. "Hopefully Governor Romney will continue to stand tall for his position on this issue and understand how detrimental it would be for society for it to have this changed," Santorum also told the Arkansas station. "Governor Romney has to talk about his values," he added. "That's the most important thing." On Wednesday, President Obama stated his support for same-sex marriage in reversal of his stance on the sensitive issue. Following the president's comments, Romney seemed hesitant to take on what he called a "tender" subject, though he did reiterate his view that marriage should be between a man and a woman. Santorum's remarks also indicate the former Pennsylvania senator is not fully on board Romney's team. After a bitter primary season battle, Santorum endorsed Romney in a lengthy email to his supporters. But Santorum did not actually state his endorsement until the tail end of the message. When asked whether he would be interested in running as Romney's running mate, Santorum demurred. "It's one thing you don't campaign for – at least I'm not campaigning for," Santorum said.

May 15, 2012 Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal criticized President Obama‘s experience before he became president in an interview Tuesday, and defended Mitt Romney, who has recently come under attack by Obama’s campaign for his record at Bain Capital. “President Obama hasn’t run anything before he was elected President of the United States. Never ran a state, never ran a business, never ran a lemonade stand. This job’s too important for on the job training,” Jindal said during an interview on FOX News’ “America’s Newsroom” Tuesday. Jindal contrasted Romney’s experience with Obama’s record, arguing that, “In contrast, Mitt Romney’s been a successful governor, a successful businessman. He’s got the executive experience.” Jindal, who’s name is tossed around as a potential VP pick, said he expects the Obama campaign to continue its attacks on Romney as it tries to distract from the president’s failings. “President Obama simply cannot run on his record. The reality is 23 million Americans unemployed, underemployed, simply have left the workforce. President Obama cannot ask the American people, ‘Are you better off than you were four years ago?’” Jindal said. ”He’s going to have to savagely attack Mitt Romney. We’ve seen the start of that this week, and now you’re seeing Mitt Romney respond which I think is a very good thing.” Jindal wasn’t always a Romney supporter. He initially backed Texas Governor Rick Perry early in the race but threw his support behind the former Massachusetts governor in April, on the same day Rick Santorum left the presidential contest. Asked if he thinks he’d be a good add to Romney’s ticket, Jindal quickly switched topics. “This isn’t about who’s VP. It’s about the vision going forward for America,” Jindal said. ”I’m firmly in the Mitt Romney camp because we’ve got two choices in this election. It’s not about dogs, it’s not about high school, it’s not about Bain. It’s about the future of America.”

Inspired by my notion that Courtney Love, fuck-up or not, "remains the biggest oversight in Oscar history, especially for not having been nominated..." And this well-conceived response: A bigger oversight than Jeff Bridges not being nominated for "The Fisher King"? A bigger oversight than Cher not being nominated for "Mask"? A bigger oversight than Gene Wilder not being nominated for "Willy Wonka..."? A bigger oversight than Mia Farrow not being nominated for "Rosemary's Baby"? And these are just off the top of my head... Figured with awards season upon us, it merited its own thread. WHO DO YOU CONSIDER THE BIGGEST OVERSIGHT -- A SPECIFIC ACTOR AND SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE -- IN OSCAR HISTORY? One that wasn't even nominated but has stood the test of time (which I would argue against for Cher in that dopey movie where the bikers acted like puppies, ha. And "Fisher King" gives me a headache but that's mostly Robin Williams being all manic). I still vote for Courtney. Chime in, folks.
Has anyone else heard of this site? CNet has become a whore for Kickstarter as well. It's site where hundreds of tousands, if not millions of gluttonous, spending rubes will buy nifty gadget from supposed 'startups', only said gadgets haven't been released yet. The idea is that you're "funding" them and you get one of said gadgets for the funding amount...WHEN they come out. i.e., you're actually paying them for their R&D process and all the bullshit marketing they do. One starter project may be seeking $100,000 to get their product out; however, as you'll see at the link, they'll often keep accumulating, over $7 million dollars in this one case, without the nifty, cool, hip, hot now gadget even hitting the market. I almost fell for it last week by "funding" an iPad keyboard folio until I realized what was going on. Anybody else have any experience with this site? If not, stay clear of it!

Federal spending is lower now than it was when President Obama took office. I’ll pause to let you absorb the news. In January 2009, before President Obama had even taken the oath of office, annual spending was set to total 24.9 percent of gross domestic product. Total spending this year, fiscal year 2012, is expected to top out at 23.4 percent of GDP. Here’s another interesting fact. Taxes today are lower than they were on inauguration day 2009. Back in January 2009, the CBO projected that total federal tax revenue that year would amount to 16.5 percent of GDP. This year? 15.8 percent. One last nugget. The deficit this year is going to be lower than what it was on the day President Obama took office. Back then, the CBO said the 2009 deficit would be 8.3 percent of GDP. This year’s deficit is expected to come in at 7.6 percent. The fact is that Obama inherited a disaster of a federal budget. Eight years prior, when President George W. Bush took the oath of office, there was a $281 billion surplus. By the time Obama was sworn in, he was facing a $1.2 trillion deficit. Inconvenient though it may be for conservatives (especially those who are running for president), the truth is that spending, taxes and the deficit are all lower today than when President Obama took office.

Thirteen French firemen 'stripped, bit and then raped new male recruit in horrific hazing ritual while on coach trip' Firefighters accused of assaulting 23-year-old colleague Four firemen being investigated for rape Another officer charged after 'allowing attack to take place' By PETER ALLEN PUBLISHED: 06:31 EST, 14 May 2012 | UPDATED: 06:31 EST, 14 May 2012 When he protested, three other men held him down, and then he was sexually assaulted with a plastic bottle, it is alleged. A second unnamed firefighter has also complained about being punched when he tried to stop the assault. Among those watching was an officer in the Paris Fire Brigade, but he did nothing to intervene during the incident on May 6th. He and an instructor have been charged with 'non assistance to a person in danger' after they were said to have allowed the attack to take place. Four of the firefighters are being investigated for rape, with some already taken into custody. Others face a variety of assault and non-assistance charges. All of the firefighters have been suspended and placed under formal investigation, but a lawyer for one of them said the principal complainant's behaviour was unusual. Philippe Goossens said: 'There are a number of elements in the file, including testimonies and a message, which show that the person concerned announced several weeks beforehand that he would create an incident and use it to put pressure on his superiors. 'The main complainant stated in a text message in April he planned to complain about the next hazing incident,' Mr Goossens added. The prestigious Brigade has an 8500-strong staff of men and women, and until the latest revelations was hugely respected. It was created by Napoleon in 1811 and has military and professional status.

John Edwards Trial: Testimony Reveals Elizabeth Edwards' Dramatic Confrontation With Husband Over Affair 05/2/12 GREENSBORO, N.C. — A former adviser to John Edwards recounted Wednesday how the former presidential candidate's now-deceased wife indignantly confronted her husband, baring her chest in front of staff members the day after a tabloid reported that he was cheating on her. During a session at Edwards' corruption trial that saw his 30-year-old daughter flee the courtroom in tears, Christina Reynolds described how a very upset Elizabeth Edwards stormed away from her husband in October 2007, then collapsed in a ball on the pavement outside a private airplane hangar. Reynolds and another woman guided the anguished wife into a nearby ladies room to compose herself, but she soon returned to the private hangar to again confront her husband. In front of several staff members, the woman who had endured grueling treatments for breast cancer took off her shirt and bra, exposing her chest. "'You don't see me anymore,'" Reynolds quoted Elizabeth Edwards as screaming. "He didn't have much of a reaction." As staffers scrambled to cover up Edwards' wife and huddle her into a car, Reynolds heard the Democratic candidate use a cell phone to call his wife's doctor to ask for help. Edwards then boarded a waiting jet and took off for his scheduled appearance in South Carolina, Reynolds said. She testified that Elizabeth Edwards had known about her husband's affair with Rielle Hunter before The National Enquirer made it public. Hers was the most stirring testimony of the day at Edwards' trial on corruption charges, as prosecutors worked to build a timeline of the affair and efforts to cover it up. Shortly before Reynolds began her account of what happened that day at the Raleigh airport, Edwards turned to his daughter Cate, a lawyer who has been seated in the front row for much of her father's trial. "I don't know what's coming," Edwards was heard saying. "Do you want to leave?" She responded to him in a whisper, grabbed her purse and walked out, wiping away tears. Edwards was heard saying, "Cate, Cate" as she left. She returned to court about a half hour later, after a brief recess. Shortly before her testimony about the airport argument, Reynolds recounted that Elizabeth Edwards asked her over to the couple's gated estate near Chapel Hill in the summer of 2007 to tell her that her husband had confessed to an affair the prior year. "I was very surprised by what she told me and I didn't want it to ever become public so the kids wouldn't have to know about it," the former aide said. Reynolds, now 37, had worked on John Edwards' successful U.S. senate campaign in 1998 and had quickly bonded with his wife. Both women grew up in military families and had moved around a lot as children. Reynolds worked as the research director and a senior communications adviser to the 2008 presidential campaign and recently joined the board of the educational foundation named for Elizabeth Edwards, who died in December of 2010. Edwards has pleaded not guilty to six counts related to campaign-finance violations. He faces up to 30 years in prison and $1.5 million in fines if convicted on all counts. At issue are payments from wealthy donors used to help keep his pregnant mistress out of public view. Edwards' attorneys have said he didn't know about the money.

Geez, the "Stand Your Ground" law has NEVER been allowed to used by African American's in the Florida court system. Apparently, in Florida a judge must decide if the law can be used as your defense, even before you go to trial. Marissa Alexander's husband was beating her. She shot a "warning shot" into the ceiling of her home to prevent him from beating her more. Mrs. Alexander has a Master's degree, and has never been involved with the legal system, was arrested for shooting a warning shot into the ceiling, and convicted. I would not spend a dime in Florida if my life depended on it....

This might be dumb and flameworthy, but ... whatever. I'm scared, Datalounge. I have had diarrhea and strange rumblings on the left side of my chest, beneath my ribs, for a few days now. A couple days of this was fine, but...multiple days? I called a friend who's a GI doc and he told me that if it didn't go away by tomorrow, I would need a culture to examine what's going on. This just freaks me out. I guess I am terrified of pancreatic cancer and the rumbling/gas on the left side has me worried. I know, I know, get a blog. :( I just needed to vent.

A new book claims that the infamous Zodiac killer is still alive and living in Northern California. "The Zodiac Killer Cover Up" was written by a former California Highway Patrol officer, Lyndon Lafferty, and adds another theory to the much-discussed serial killer case in Northern California. The Zodiac killer is blamed for at least five slayings in 1968 and 1969. There was never an arrest in the case. Three killings occurred in Vallejo. Teenagers David Farraday and Betty Lou Jensen were shot to death in December 1968. Darlene Ferrin, 22, was shot and killed seven months later at Blue Rock Springs Golf Club. Her companion, Michael Mageau, 19, survived. In "The Zodiac Killer Cover Up," Lafferty claims the killer is now a 91-year-old man living in Solano County. The book uses aliases and does not identify the alleged killer by name. Lafferty claims he and other lawmen investigated the suspect in the early 1970s but were stymied by "power brokers" in Solano County. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the book has stirred new debate among those who have followed the famous killings. The San Francisco police formally closed the case in 2004. The Zodiac killer got his name by taunting newspapers and the police with letters and puzzles. "The police shall never catch me, because I have been too clever for them," he wrote in a letter sent to the San Francisco Chronicle. "I enjoy needling the blue pigs," he wrote. Detectives thought they might have had a break two years ago, when a partial DNA profile was taken from envelopes containing the letters. The genetic evidence seemed to clear the only suspect ever named by police -- Arthur Leigh Allen of Vallejo. Allen, who was never charged, died of a heart attack in 1992.

I don't want to. I've been planning this for some time (about a year) and I'm down to about two months left. Then I'm moving five states away. He will be left here with family and friends - none of which I had here. I tried telling him a couple of times that I'm leaving. He literally won't accept it. He almost shuts down completely - not before the inevitable meltdown/blowup. Then we don't talk about it, for weeks, but I have to believe that in the back of his mind he must realize I'm leaving. For example, I've put my house on the market. He is a mid-stage alcoholic, but probably won't ever stop. That's one of the reasons I'm leaving. The other is that I have lots of issues on my own, things I need to work on, people that need me as well (family in the other state)...there are a lot of positives to leaving. And no, he can't come with me. I just feel so horrible about it. I love him with all my heart. I don't think he will really get it that I'm leaving up until I'm pulling out of the driveway. God.

Missing FBI agent armed and suicidal, police believe May 13, 2012 | 7:19 am A missing FBI agent from Burbank, believed to be suicidal and possibly carrying a handgun, has become the subject of a major manhunt this weekend. Stephen Ivens, 35, a Los Angeles-based agent specializing in national security, was last seen Friday at his home in the 1700 block of Scott Road in Burbank. He may have headed into the rugged Verdugo Mountains, officials said. Also missing from the home he shared with his wife and 1-year-old son is his handgun, officials said. Officials would not reveal why they believe Ivens may be suicidal. “He’s been a valuable member of our office,” said FBI Special Agent Steve Gomez. A 40-member search-and-rescue team from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department along with a dozen Burbank police officers were assisting about 100 FBI agents in the search, officials said. It was the largest search in Burbank in 20 years, said Capt. Denis Cremins of the Burbank Police Department. Ivens has been with the FBI for more than three years and before that spent eight years with the Los Angeles Police Department. Ivens, an avid hiker, left his house on foot. Bloodhounds tracked his scent toward the Verdugo Mountains, Gomez said. Officials are also searching other areas of the county. They do not believe Ivens is a danger to anyone but himself, but they warned people not to approach him if they spot him and urged people to call authorities. Ivens is white, 6-feet tall and weighs 160 pounds. He has receding brown hair and wears prescription glasses, according to a police report. Contact Burbank police at (818) 238-3000 or the FBI at (310) 420-6441.

“The most recent attacks are really off target and I think they know,” Romney said. “They said, ‘Oh, gosh, Governor Romney at Bain Capital closed down a steel factory.’ But their problem, of course, is that the steel factory closed down two years after I left Bain Capital. I was no longer there, so that’s hardly something which is on my watch.” Then Romney tried to lay blame for auto job losses on Obama. “We were able to help create over 100,000 jobs,” Romney said of his tenure at Bain, the venture capital and corporate buyout firm he founded. “On the president’s watch, about 100,000 jobs were lost in the auto industry and auto dealers and auto manufacturers, so he’s hardly one to point a finger.”
Mitt Romney responds to attack ad about Bain and blames Obama for destroying the auto industry.

I'm seriously considering getting my first smartphone after having resisted the temptation for quite some time due in large part to the higher monthly price that comes with the mandatory data plan. While I seem to get by just fine with a basic talk and text phone, there have been quite a few instances over the past year or two where I could see how a smartphone would've really come in handy simply by having the internet readily available for accessing information or for navigation purposes or for the myriad of useful functions that apps now provide. I'm curious to know what smartphone you use or have used, why you prefer it over another, and what you use it for most. I realize a lot of people are fans of the iphone and I'm very open to that as an option, but I'm also interested in the experiences and opinions of Android phone users as there are quite a few competitive options in the Android market these days. TIA!

I'm allergic to smoke, and so is my partner (!) and we're sick for a day after a slight exposure. It's physical, not psychological. New neighbors next door moved in, who apparently like both to spend a lot of time outside and to do their smoking out of doors. It's close quarters between our houses, with their deck close to our property line. We have hollies planted for privacy between them. We haven't met them yet - they moved in last week. My partner and I were out at 9 yesterday morning in our yard. At 9:15 the neighbors were out, smoking. We tried moving to the side yard on the other side of the building, but the smoke followed us. So we went in. We tried later, and out they were again. Same thing this morning. We went out this afternoon. The neighbors came out and started smoking. What would you suggest? Do we wait until we know each other and try to cover the topic, somehow? It doesn't look hopeful - they look like suburbanites who have moved into the city and they appear to drink a lot. Party people. I wish smokers would understand that smoke doesn't just disappear outside where the air is still and people are close to each other. After eight years living next door to the place as a drug hole where teen prostitution went on, and then eight years of sitting next to it empty and derelict, as we landscaped and mowed and did everything to keep it from looking like what it was, it would be nice to have an agreeable resolution. The big problem is that given today's lack of common ground and fractured mores and anger and broken communities, there doesn't seem to be a basis from which to start . . .
While in the U.S. it's common for people to return to further their education throughout their adult lives, the typical (or at least stereotypical) university attendee is straight out of high school without pause except for summer break. I'm curious how this tradition developed in the UK. Are students obligated by universities to sit out a year or is up to them and their parents? Is it considered advantageous to do it in terms of creating a more "mature" product for universities? Do some kids get a taste of freedom and drop out even before they get there? I learned about gap year from reading coverage about the royals. They go off on trips to Africa and little charity PR trips. What does the average kid whose parents can't finance these excursions do? I can't imagine they'd be able to find much available work in this economy... TIA.

Madonna isn't called a "Material Girl" for nothing. Here's a breakdown of what she's poised to pocket in 2012 -- it could be as much as $500 million in one year alone. - $300 million from her MDNA World Tour. Live Nation announced $240 Million in ticket sales before a South American leg was added, which could earn an additional $40 million-plus. An Australian leg of the tour is being announced shortly. - Industry insiders say $75 million in tour merchandise sales is not unlikely. This has always been a huge moneymaker for Madonna, who will have an even bigger spread of merchandise available at her upcoming shows. - $60 million is expected in sales for her new perfume, Truth or Dare, according to Women's Wear Daily. - Insiders report that Madonna made $10 million from her recent deal with Smirnoff. The company has been hyping her tour with TV spots and has just released a special "Madonna" edition bottle of their vodka. - The Queen of Pop is hoping to rake in $10 million in TV and DVD worldwide rights for the broadcast of her upcoming tour. - Retail experts say Madonna will earn $5 million in 2012 from her "Material Girl" clothing line and upcoming Macy's lingerie line. It's good to be Queen!

I meet you all the time. You hate Obama. You hate gay people. You hate black people, immigrants, Muslims, labor unions, women who want the right to make choices concerning their bodies, you hate em all. You hate being called racist. You hate being called a bigot. Maybe if you talked about creating jobs more than you talk about why you hate gay people we wouldn't call you bigots. Maybe if you talked about black people without automatically assuming they are on food stamps while demanding their birth certificates we wouldn't call you racist. You hate socialism and social justice. You hate regulations and taxes and spending and the Government. You hate. You like war. You like torture. You like Jesus. I don't know how in the hell any of that is compatible, but no one ever accused you haters of being over-committed to ideological consistency. You like people who look like you or at least hate most of the things that you hate. You hate everything else. Now, I know you profess to love our country and the founding fathers (unless you are reminded that they believed in the separation of church and state), but I need to remind you that America is NOT what Fox News says it is. America is a melting pot, it always has been. We are a multi-cultural amalgamation of all kinds of people, and yet you still demonize everyone who is not a rich, white, heterosexual christian male or his submissive and obedient wife. You hate liberals, moderates, hell, anyone who disagrees with Conservative dogma as espoused by Fox News and Rush Limbaugh. You hate em. Well, here are the facts, Jack. If you hate the Government then you are unqualified to manage it. If you hate gay people more than you love America than you should take your own advice and get the hell out. There are several countries that are openly hostile to gay people, but they are full of brown people and you don't like them much either from what I understand. It looks like you are screwed, but that's not what I am here to tell you. (continued)

I mean one where you cannot have personal calls at all and your cell phone better not ring and absolutely no internet access. I temped once between jobs for a small family owned company that had been in business for years. It was a miserable, boring job. I was stuck in a room with 3 other women with an office immediately behind it with a female manager who was like a benign dictator. She was nice but there was minimal chit chat allowed and absolutely nothing personal. We had no internet access at all when most companies at least allow some for business purposes. I got out after two weeks. I hated it anyway but one of the fat gals in the room with me started shit. She was a backstabbing, bitter bitch who was desperate to be a big fish in a small pond.

The Associated Press MEXICO CITY - Two decapitated bodies were found inside a burning SUV early Wednesday at the entrance to one of Mexico's most luxurious malls, feeding fears drug violence is infiltrating privileged realms previously thought safe. Police recovered the mutilated bodies before dawn off a toll highway at a shopping mall entrance in the heart of the Santa Fe district that's a haven for international corporations, diplomats and the wealthy. The heads and a threatening message were dumped a few yards (meters) away, Mexico City prosecutors said in a statement. Hours later, the government released a drug war body count recording more than 47,500 victims in five years, echoing independent death tolls tabulated by Mexican media. Local media published images of the charred car and reported that a note written on hot pink paper was signed by the drug gang Mano con Ojos, or Hand with Eyes. Mexican police had said the gang was weakened by the arrest of its leader, Oscar Osvaldo Garcia, in August. The victims, a man and a woman in their 30s, had not been identified, prosecutors said. They said the SUV with license plates from neighbouring Mexico state had been stolen. The Centro Santa Fe mall where the charred car was found is one of the country's largest and most glamorous, housing high-end retailers like Coach, Prada, Hugo Boss, Saks Fifth Avenue and Mexican department store Palacio de Hierro. The dump scene was cleaned up so quickly that shoppers weren't even aware anything had happened. The car was left only hours before Mexico City Mayor Marcelo Ebrard guided a tour of a bridge construction site 300 yards (meters) away. Ebrard spokesman Diego Gutierrez said there was nothing to indicate the bodies were a message to the mayor. Mexico's sprawling capital has been something of a haven from the brutal cartel violence that has claimed thousands of lives along the U.S. border and in outlying states. But gangs have been fighting over an increasingly lucrative local drug market for more than a year, mainly in the capital's working class outer neighbourhoods and suburbs. The Santa Fe district has been spared much of that violence and managed to maintain its reputation as a manicured bubble built atop a former landfill on the western edge of Mexico City. The financial district houses the Mexican headquarters of major corporations, Hewlett Packard and IBM among them, and Iberoamerican University, one of Mexico's top private schools. Modern, heavily guarded high-rises where wealthy Mexicans and foreigners live dot the hilly landscape. But as the fight among splintering drug cartels intensifies, brazen attackers have reached even into the country's most guarded districts. "If they don't put an end to this, it could become more frightening here," said Christian Falbi, a 24-year-old college student who lives in an apartment building within walking distance of the mall.
I've already asked my friends, and none of them have had any good suggestions, and I'm probably going to get mostly bitchy replies, which is fine, but here goes.... I need a personal statement for my medical school applications. It has to be about a page long, so I need few words, but words that are good. I know I want to have the main thrust of it be about fear, and I'm fairly sure I want to use Eleanor Roosevelt's "Do one thing every day that scares you." But for the moment, the only first lines my mind wants to come up with are: "Mrs. Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself." "Scarlet O'Hara was not beautiful..." "Space, the final frontier..." "In the criminal justice system, the people are represented..." and "Once upon a time, there were three little girls who went to the police academy." Anybody have any suggestions? Or pointless bitchery?

STOCKTON, CA — His mugshot includes a mesh mask over his nose and mouth, because the criminal was arrested for not following medical treatment protocol. Armando Rodriguez, 34, has tuberculosis and according to San Joaquin County Public Health officials, he was ignoring his treatment and refusing to take his medications. Officials say Rodriguez was putting his entire community at risk by not following the medical treatment he signed off on last month. They asked Stockton Police to pick him up. “Rodriguez is charged with failing to comply with an order of the Health Department for tuberculosis control,” said Stephen Taylor, San Joaquin County Deputy District Attorney. Tuberculosis is a bacteria that can become airborne and spread when an infected person coughs, sneezes, speaks or sings. “Really, we do have so few cases because the Health Department does a heroic job of working with people and getting them to cooperate,” said Taylor. However, court documents say that was not the case with Rodriguez. Less than a month after getting out of the hospital, he started ignoring the nine-month treatment plan. He returned unused antibiotics when a health case manager visited. He told the woman he had been on alcohol all weekend, had taken meth, and didn’t want to hurt his liver by taking the drugs. He has 8 missed doses documented in just 47 days. Rodriguez was supposed to be in court Wednesday for his arraignment, however he cannot step foot in the courtroom until he passes a series of three health tests.

Bill Wisth is 6-foot-6 and weighs 350 pounds. His version of an all-you-can-eat buffet might be slightly different from yours or mine. And now Wisth is protesting a Theinsville, Wisconsin, restaurant that finally cut him off after eating 12 fish during its all-you-can-eat fish fry. "It's false advertising," Wisth said, who has been picketing the restaurant with a handwritten, cardboard sign that reads "Poor Business Practices!" Amazingly, UPI reports that Wisth even called the police on Chuck's Place after the restaurant cut him off. The restaurant then sent him on his way with an additional eight pieces of fish, meaning he got 20 pieces of fish total, but he's still not satisfied. "I think that people have to stand up for consumers," Wisth said. Another local video is also worth watching, if only for the hilarious and obvious contempt WTMJ4 on-air reporter Annie Scholz has for Wisth's "plight," repeatedly rolling her eyes during the report. Nonetheless, Wisth says he will protest Chuck's Place every Sunday until the restaurant delivers on its all-you-can-eat promise. Chuck's Place waitress Elizabeth Roeming said Wisth was cut off because the kitchen was literally running out of fish due to his unusually large consumption. She also claims Wisth has "caused disturbances" at the restaurant before and has an unpaid tab to boot. Despite his ongoing protest, Wisth did have at least one nice thing to say about Chuck's Place, telling local affiliate WTMJ4, "They do have like some of the best pizza in town if you like deep dish pizza."

He was dirty, sexy, vulnerable, and had LOADS of charisma, even when his character was fat, ugly and balding. Definitely somebody that lights up more on screen than he does in photographs.\ \ He''s also exudes a raw sex appeal and a manliness than a lot of popular leading men in Hollywood right now (think Taylor Lautner, Justin Timberlake, Robert Pattinson, Andrew Garfield) lack.\ \ God damn, the man is sexy and talented. And with the buzz building for BV, I think he could be a dark horse against Firth.

celebrities hitchhiking john waters here we go magic Michael Bloch Jen Turner hitchhikers directors bands video By Maureen O'Connor View ProfileEmailTwitterRssMay 16, 2012 3:44 PM 3,966 10 Share Facebook Twitter StumbleUpon Tumblr Instapaper Email this post Tweet Get our top stories follow gawker ‘We Picked Up John Waters Hitchhiking’ And You Can, Too" The members of Here We Go Magic were driving in Ohio and picked up a hitch hiker. The hitchhiker was film freak director John Waters. Here is their story, as told by guitarist Michael Bloch in an email his record label forwarded to us: There's a hydro-fracking boom in western Pennsylvania. You can't get a motel room. We had to drive til 4AM, and finally found a Days Inn in eastern Ohio. Getting back on the highway this morning, there was a man at the side of the on-ramp with a sign that read "to the end of Rte 70." Jen wanted to pick him up, but we drove past him. As we passed by, our sound guy said "John Waters." Luke said, "Yep, definitely John Waters." We got off at the next exit and circled back. He was still there. We pulled up, opened the door and asked where he was coming from. "Baltimore," he said. And we said "Get in, sir." "I wasn't kidding. We really picked up John Waters hitchhiking," bassist Jen Turner tweeted. 'jump' "Mr. Waters is headed across the US. I think we're dropping him in Indianapolis if u want to grab him next," she concluded. Here We Go Magic has yet to confirm whether the experience of driving around Ohio with John Waters was exactly like the roadtrip in the music video for "How Do I Know." Until we get an official denial, I'd say it's safe to assume it was. [Image via @turnerjen]

First SOPA. Then ACTA and CISPA. And now TPP. WTF is wrong with these fucking people? The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is being negotiated in secret and the stakes for the 99% couldn't be higher...The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) "free trade" agreement is a stealthy policy being pressed by corporate America, a dream of the 1%, that in one blow could: • offshore millions of jobs, • free Wall Street and its banksters from oversight, • reduce Internet freedom, • ban policies needed to create green jobs and rebuild local economies, • decrease access to medicine by extending drug company monopolies, • empower corporations to attack our environmental and health safeguards, such as tobacco control and clean air and water regulations.

May 16, 2012 For those who think Sen. Richard Lugar’s defeat was primarily attributable to running a weak campaign or for living outside of Indiana for decades, I’ve got one number in dissent: 38 percent. That’s the shockingly low percentage of the vote the six-term senator won this month, with a margin of defeat larger than any other senator in a primary over the past three decades. That’s a 2006 Rick Santorum-like loss, for a politician who had been accustomed to coasting to landslide victories. It suggests that even if Lugar had run a top-notch campaign, he would have been susceptible to forces outside of his control: a Republican electorate looking for new faces and more-outspoken conservative leadership. Lugar’s landslide loss is a sign of the maturation of the tea party, a loosely defined confederation of conservative activists in 2010 who have banded together and threaten to have a defining impact in 2012. Because they’re not conducting mass protests, Occupy Wall Street-style, many pundits naïvely presumed their strength had subsided. But in reality, the masses of disaffected conservatives are a sleeping giant. Antiestablishment GOP candidates have a chance to score Senate-primary upsets in Nebraska, Texas, Utah, and Wisconsin. In three of those four races, the Republican nominee would start off as the heavy favorite in the general election—a major difference from the 2010 GOP primaries fought in more Democratic-friendly states, such as Colorado, Delaware, and Nevada. In Nebraska, state senator Deb Fischer’s stunning primary victory Tuesday night over the establishment favorite, state Attorney General Jon Bruning, is just the latest grassroots-fueled upset. Fischer, whose campaign was virtually ignored by political insiders, received a jolt of momentum after Sarah Palin endorsed her candidacy last week. To be sure, Fischer was an unintended beneficiary of well-funded attacks from outside conservative groups against Bruning, the long-standing front-runner. The Club for Growth, FreedomWorks, and Sen. Jim DeMint’s Senate Conservatives Fund backed another challenger, Don Stenberg, and spent more than $2 million bashing Bruning. Stenberg, though, struggled to get traction—in part, because he’s run for the Senate unsuccessfully three times before. So Fischer, with conservative credentials of her own, successfully filled that void in the campaign’s last several weeks. From the outset, she effectively touted her ranching background in contrast to the “career politicians” she was running against. It’s a testament to the fact that being an outsider is as important to many activists as ideology in this anti-Washington environment. The other recent sign that all is not well with the GOP establishment took place last weekend in Wisconsin, where former Gov. Tommy Thompson performed weakly at the state party convention, getting eliminated from endorsement contention on the second ballot (with just 18 percent of the vote). It was a glaring rebuke for Thompson, who ruled the party’s roost throughout the 1990s as governor but looks like he’s lost his luster with his state’s Republican voters. Club for Growth-backed former Rep. Mark Neumann looks best-positioned to capture grassroots momentum, though two other candidates are also looking to claim the conservative mantle (hedge fund manager Eric Hovde and state Assembly Speaker Jeff Fitzgerald, who boasts ties to Gov. Scott Walker). Much like with Lugar, polls early on in this race showed Thompson to be holding an awfully weak lead in the primary, despite his high name recognition. Unlike in Indiana, however, the conservative opposition is splintered, making it possible for Thompson to win without support from the base.
That was awesome.

Bad news for all those with a sweet tooth. A new study finds eating too much sugar is bad for your brain. Researchers at UCLA say rats given high-fructose corn syrup had a hard time finding their way through a maze. The sweetener is found in soda, baby food and processed snack foods. Health officials say the average American consumes more than 40 pounds of high-fructose corn syrup a year.

NEW YORK— Kodak -- the company known for decades for its cameras and film -- this week confirmed it used weapons-grade uranium in an underground lab in upstate New York for upwards of 30 years. A company spokesman and a former scientist for the firm say there was not enough material to sustain a nuclear chain reaction. Former Kodak researcher Albert Filo said the uranium was alloyed with aluminum in plates sealed in sleeves that were not moved for three decades. The amount of fuel was about 3½ pounds, which experts say is less than one-tenth of the amount necessary to make a crude nuclear device. The alloyed material "could not be readily converted to make a nuclear weapon," said Eastman Kodak spokesman Christopher Veronda. "Disassembling the device and removing these plates was a process that took highly trained experts more than a day to perform." But advocates for preventing nuclear proliferation say it highlights the risk that terrorists could obtain enough fuel to build a nuclear device. "In this day and age, no one should be allowed to possess nuclear-weapons-usable material without providing an armed defense of that material," said Edwin Lyman, a nuclear physicist with the Union of Concerned Scientists. "There really should be an effort to eliminate the use of materials in commercial companies that could be used by terrorists to make nuclear weapons," he said. Kodak turned the material over to the government in 2007, under heavy security. But for more than 30 years, the company had a device called a californium neutron flux multiplier, or CFX, in a specially built labyrinth beneath Building 82 at its labs near Rochester, New York. The device was about the size of a refrigerator. It was not a reactor, but rather a hunk of metal emitting radiation. Its purpose was to create a beam of neutrons to use for scanning and testing other materials. The device's primary source of neutron radiation was the radioactive element californium, but the stream of neutrons produced by the californium was multiplied by passing it through a lattice of highly enriched uranium U-235, whose nuclear fission released additional neutrons. According to a spokesman for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Kodak's uranium was highly enriched -- to a level approaching 93.4%. That is the type of weapons-grade material that U.S. government agencies are trying to prevent terrorists from getting their hands on. (For the sake of comparison, Iran claims to have enriched uranium to 20%, leading Western nations to impose sanctions on the country in an effort to prevent Iran from pursuing further enrichment.) Lyman acknowledges that the quantity was not enough to make a bomb. "But you can always imagine," he said, "an adversary that was coordinated could steal enough in different areas to kind of consolidate, and have enough for a bomb." While Kodak did not have armed guards, Filo said that there were security procedures in place to prevent any unauthorized access to the uranium. Also, he said, it would take hours or days for anyone to dismantle the CFX and extract the nuclear fuel. He also said the bunker was subject to regular inspection, never leaked radiation, and never posed any risk to the neighborhood of radioactive exposure. "The walls surrounding it were two feet of reinforced concrete. The ceiling over it was again two feet of concrete and then eight feet of earth. So it was really a well-shielded instrument," he said. Kodak says it never intended to hide the CFX, and it was licensed by both state and federal officials. But the fact that the company was handling highly enriched uranium was never widely publicized. There are 31 reactors in the United States for research or testing purposes, according to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Most are run by universities and use low-enriched uranium rather than highly enriched uranium. But weapons-grade fuel is still used in some reactors, said Lyman.

I'll give you a hint. It's not Vermont.
California Governor Jerry Brown has proposed a four-day work week to reduce pay for state employees and other cuts, mostly in welfare and medical care for the poor. Trimming the standard week would be the equivalent of a 5 percent pay cut, according to the Governor, saving $400 million a year for the desperate government of California. (20% fewer days equals a 5% cut...count me in!) Health care for the poor would also be cut back. It would take the biggest reduction, about $1.2 billion, with $1.1 billion sliced from welfare and care for the disabled. (so, don't cut the cops, or bureaucrats, just the things people actually WANT from their taxes---nice) The cuts though significant will not come close to closing the budget gap. The proposed cuts will amount $8.7 billion in total, but the estimated budget deficit is $15.7 billion for the coming fiscal year. ------- The reality- We're in a Currency Union we can't leave. We depend on massive loans from other to stay afloat. The answer to a level of taxation that has caused the economy to collapse over the last decade (we were headed down well before the Real Estate Bubble burst) is MORE taxes. "Tax beating will continue until business morale improves" seems to be the philosophy. The level of Government provided "goodies" are so high as to attract great consumption, and the taxes are so high as to drive away production. We also have our own version of "Cap and Tax" on carbon dioxide, so our electric rates are much higher than most in the USA. Or grid is rapidly headed for instability and on the radio was a warning to expect rolling blackouts and brownouts when summer heat kicks in. People and companies can avoid a 9.75% sales tax and an 11% income tax (not to mention gas taxes, Diesel taxes, property taxes, and a variety of "user fees" if you actually do use a service and are not on welfare...) just by moving a couple of hundred miles to a different state. One local company made cast lead products. They moved to Nevada simply because it was nearly impossible to comply with the environmental mandates on handling lead. My mechanic repairs transmissions. He can not get a solvent that works (to clean the parts of the transmission so it can be repaired) that meets the California Air Resources Board volatile organics regulations. It is readily sold in Nevada. Guess where transmission repair will be moving?
I thought it was because I was somewhere where I couldn''t receive service but I''m home now and it still says "No Service" where it used to say "3G". I can''t make any calls at all, the whole thing is bricked. Anyone know why this is happening? I checked my account online and the bill was paid on time. Anyone know where I can check my texts online? I know I must have gotten hundreds of texts and people are wondering why I never texted back. I''m kinda freaking out without my phone. Even posting on DL on my desktop seems like a step backwards. Sorry, you won''t be able to see "Sent from my iPhone" in my posts for a while :(
Trending on Twitter right now "#LouisHasABetterAssThanKimK", which means that Louis Tomlinson of the band one direction has a better ass than Kim Kardashian. He went surfing at Manley Beach in Australia yesterday, and several pictures of him in his wetsuit were taken prominently featuring his ass. See link. He also had a wardrobe malfunction in which his wetsuit tore at the crotch. He had to cover it while getting out of the water.
Had no idea he was so hot. Damn!\ \ Total pussyhound, big Bush supporter, right?
I'm looking for a good tabletop radio/cd player. The Bose Wave System III is priced at $499., while another system I researched, the Sangean, can be bought for $220. -- less than half the price. Anyone have an opinion about which to buy, or if there's another option I should consider? If the Bose is superior, I don't mind paying more, but I don't want to get ripped off, either.

The anonymous masseur who sued John Travolta for sexual battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress has withdrawn his claims. On Tuesday, the "John Doe" formally filed a notice of dismissal. The $2 million lawsuit was filed on May 4 with salacious details about how Travolta had allegedly touched a man inappropriately and propositioned him during a massage session. Others have since come forward with allegations against the star, prompting Travolta attorney Marty Singer to go on the offensive with promises to sue the accusers and their attorneys for malicious prosecution. The original complaint was soon amended to detail a second masseur with similar claims, and then a third accuser, a Royal Caribbean cruise line employee, made claims about being offered $12,000 for sex in 2009. But the first case quickly unraveled after Travolta's legal team produced evidence, including pictures, that apparently showed he actor wasn't in Los Angeles at the time of the alleged event. The accuser later changed his story, claiming he was wrong about the date of the incident but not the underlying facts. Then the first accuser split from his attorney. The third accuser was confronted with a leaked cruise ship incident report that portrayed what happened as being a request for a massage and nothing overtly sexual. Meanwhile, Travolta's Singer continues to be adamant that the allegations have been cooked and the accusers' attorney, Okorie Okorocha, shares much blame. Singer wasn't available for comment on whether he intends to still pursue the first accuser for malicious prosecution now that the claim has been dropped. For now, the lawsuit from the second accuser survives as the actor continues to deal with a media frenzy.
BREAKING!! John Travolta's First Accuser Drops Sexual Battery Lawsuit
Holy shit, I'm a news junkie and I'm officially tired of hearing about the gay marriage debate. MSNBC has been relentless, followed closely by CNN. I just turned off Lawrence O'Donnell after what seemed like 120 minutes of Ed, Rachel, and Lawrence parsing the presidential candidates' comments on gay marriage... I'm sorry, but the gay marriage debate is actually prohibiting substantial movement in the fight for equal rights. Mitt Romney said clearly and plainly that he believes Congress should pass laws prohibiting discrimination based on sexuality...yet people seemed to ignore it in favor of his stance on gay marriage/gay adoption. Meanwhile, sexuality is not one of the protected classes under federal anti-discrimination laws! Why didn't anyone with a voice take his words and replay them to the world, thereby initiating a movement to ensure gays and lesbians receive federal protections from discriminatory practices? This gay marriage shit is being used as a bait and switch, and I don't care for it at all. Besides, the people who are leading the effort are generally wealthy gays who are keen on assimilating as much as possible (somehow they think that getting married and raising a Madison & Gwynabeth-Marie of their own will be the solution to all homosexuals' problems).
On last night''s Next Food Network Star, the camera kept showing a hearing aid or earbud in his right ear.

Mitt Romney’s prep school classmates recall pranks, but also troubling incidents By Jason Horowitz, Updated: Thursday, May 10, 8:02 AM BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich. — Mitt Romney returned from a three-week spring break in 1965 to resume his studies as a high school senior at the prestigious Cranbrook School. Back on the handsome campus, studded with Tudor brick buildings and manicured fields, he spotted something he thought did not belong at a school where the boys wore ties and carried briefcases. John Lauber, a soft-spoken new student one year behind Romney, was perpetually teased for his nonconformity and presumed homosexuality. Now he was walking around the all-boys school with bleached-blond hair that draped over one eye, and Romney wasn’t having it. “He can’t look like that. That’s wrong. Just look at him!” an incensed Romney told Matthew Friedemann, his close friend in the Stevens Hall dorm, according to Friedemann’s recollection. Mitt, the teenaged son of Michigan Gov. George Romney, kept complaining about Lauber’s look, Friedemann recalled. A few days later, Friedemann entered Stevens Hall off the school’s collegiate quad to find Romney marching out of his own room ahead of a prep school posse shouting about their plan to cut Lauber’s hair. Friedemann followed them to a nearby room where they came upon Lauber, tackled him and pinned him to the ground. As Lauber, his eyes filling with tears, screamed for help, Romney repeatedly clipped his hair with a pair of scissors. The incident was recalled similarly by five students, who gave their accounts independently of one another. Four of them — Friedemann, now a dentist; Phillip Maxwell, a lawyer; Thomas Buford, a retired prosecutor; and David Seed, a retired principal — spoke on the record. Another former student who witnessed the incident asked not to be named. The men have differing political affiliations, although they mostly lean Democratic. Buford volunteered for Barack Obama’s campaign in 2008. Seed, a registered independent, has served as a Republican county chairman in Michigan. All of them said that politics in no way colored their recollections. “It happened very quickly, and to this day it troubles me,” said Buford, the school’s wrestling champion, who said he joined Romney in restraining Lauber. Buford subsequently apologized to Lauber, who was “terrified,” he said. “What a senseless, stupid, idiotic thing to do.” “It was a hack job,” recalled Maxwell, a childhood friend of Romney who was in the dorm room when the incident occurred. “It was vicious.” “He was just easy pickins,” said Friedemann, then the student prefect, or student authority leader of Stevens Hall, expressing remorse about his failure to stop it. The incident transpired in a flash, and Friedemann said Romney then led his cheering schoolmates back to his bay-windowed room in Stevens Hall. Friedemann, guilt ridden, made a point of not talking about it with his friend and waited to see what form of discipline would befall Romney at the famously strict institution. Nothing happened.

United Nations report released Wednesday says many Canadians are suffering from poverty, inequality and the inability to afford daily food needs. One in 10 families with a child under 6 is unable to meet their daily food needs. This is a country that is rich but that fails to adapt the levels of social assistance benefits and its minimum wage to the rising costs of basic necessities, including food and housing. Last year, close to 900,000 Canadians were accessing food banks each month. The situation in many aboriginal communities is desperate. A long history of political and economic marginalization has left many indigenous peoples (in Canada) with considerably lower levels of access to adequate food relative to the general population. Canadian Government had only a one sentence response to the report 'This is a discredit to the United Nations'

Fans of truly explosive political fireworks may have been disappointed when the seemingly unflappable Mitt Romney all but clinched the Republican nod to face the famously no-drama President Obama. But flashes of Romney's well-guarded temper have made cameo appearances on the campaign trail, and BuzzFeed's Andrew Kaczynski just unearthed a gem from Romney's past: A three-decade-old arrest for clashing with a law officer. Here, a look at that tale and four classic "Mitt-frontations" (as his family calls them): 1. Facing a "disorderly conduct" arrest This story first surfaced in Romney's doomed 1994 bid to unseat Sen. Ted Kennedy, Kaczynski says: In 1981, Romney was putting the family boat into Lake Cochituate, an hour outside of Boston, when a park officer told him he couldn't because the license looked painted over. If he launched, he'd face a $50 fine. "I was willing to pay the fine," Romney told The Boston Globe. But the officer returned as Romney put the boat in and, visibly angry at being ignored, handcuffed Mitt, who was "dripping wet in a bathing suit," and booked him for disorderly conduct. Romney contested the arrest in court, threatened to sue, and got the arrest dismissed and sealed. "He did not have the right to arrest me because I was not a disorderly person," Romney told The Globe. Right, I guess "laws are [just] for little people and suckers, aren't they?" says Kaili Joy Gray at Daily Kos. 2. Tangling with a traffic cop at the Olympics During the 2002 Winter Olympics, says Alec MacGillis at The New Republic, Romney, who was the Games' chief organizer, pushed local sheriff's deputies out of the way to personally manage a traffic snarl outside the downhill ski area. He also lit into an 18-year-old security volunteer, Shaun Knopp, who told reporters that Romney rudely asked "who the fuck" he was and "what the fuck" an amateur like him was doing at the Olympics. Romney denied dropping f-bombs, saying the worst he broke out was "H-E-double hockey sticks." I find the idea of Romney directing traffic and dropping f-bombs "immensely humanizing," says Tommy Christopher at Mediaite. "I like that guy" — why isn't he running? 3. Putting Rick Perry in a "Vulcan neck pinch" In a GOP debate last October, Romney had an "odd and unexpected moment" with Texas Gov. Rick Perry, says The New Republic's MacGillis. Perry interrupted Mitt, and Romney appealed to the moderator. But "when no help arrived, he turned on Perry, his voice rising to a shout and his eyes flashing with anger." He even condescendingly put his hand on Perry's shoulder, shocking observers used to Mitt's "robotic self-control." Romney's "attempted Vulcan neck pinch on Rick Perry" was actually "a very strong bit of power politics," says Mediaite's Christopher, except for the part where "he tried to complain to the ref." 4. Sparring with party rockers LMFAO In February 2010, Romney was on a flight from Vancouver to Los Angeles when he had his "most unusual altercation," says MacGillis. He and wife Ann were seated behind Sky Blu (Skyler Gordy) of the party-rock duo LMFAO. Gordy leaned back before takeoff, Romney told him to return his seat to an upright position, and Gordy wound up being escorted off the plane. As Romney tells it, after he politely asked Gordy to sit up, then "tapped him on the shoulder," Gordy "gave me a good swat and he broke my hair." In Gordy's version, told on YouTube, Romney yelled, "Sir, sir put your seat up!" then reached up and "put a condor grip on me. ... It was pretty hostile."
With no opposing candidates campaigning against him, his opponents still win almost 30% of the GOP vote in Oregon and Nebraska.
The fourth dynamic of Central State expansion is the State’sontological imperative to expand. The State has only one mode of being, expansion. It has no concept of, or mechanisms for, contraction. In my book Resistance, Revolution, Liberation: A Model for Positive Change, I explain this ontological imperative in terms of risk and gain. From the Central State’s point of view, everything outside its control poses a risk. The best way to lower risk is to control everything that can be controlled. Once the potential sources of risk are controlled, then risk can be shifted to others. Put another way, once the State controls the entire economy and society, it can transfer systemic risk to others: to other nations, to taxpayers, etc. In effect, the State’s prime directive is to cut the causal connection between risk and gain so that the State can retain the gain and transfer the risk to others. The separation of risk from gain is called moral hazard, and the key characteristic of moral hazard can be stated very simply: People who are exposed to risk and consequence act very differently than those who are not exposed to risk and consequence. Every time the Central State guarantees something, it disconnects risk from consequence and institutionalizes moral hazard. To take but one example of many, when the Central State guarantees mortgages so lenders and originators cannot lose and the borrower can’t lose more than his modest 3% down payment, then everyone in the chain is encouraged to pursue risky speculations because the State has disconnected risk from the consequence of a potentially large loss. The risk hasn’t vanished; it has simply been transferred to the taxpayers, who absorb the inevitable losses that result when speculation is encouraged. Separating risk from gain inevitably generates systemic instability. The entire credit-housing bubble can be seen as proof of this dynamic.

Obama On 'The View:' President Corrects Elisabeth Hasselbeck On Gay Marriage Position
(CNN) – A well-known, openly gay supporter of Mitt Romney in New York has decided to withdraw his support for Romney and back President Barack Obama instead. The clincher: Romney's stance on same-sex marriage. "I feel that I no longer wish to support your presidential campaign and ask that you please return the maximum contribution that I gave to you last year," Bill White wrote in a letter addressed to the former Massachusetts governor and obtained by CNN. "You have chosen to be on the wrong side of history and I do not support your run for president any longer," White added. CNN contacted the Romney campaign but did not receive a response. White is the chairman and CEO of the New York-based consulting firm Constellations Group. He was previously the president of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum – the cultural and educational institution whose major presence is the floating World War II Intrepid aircraft carrier sitting on the Hudson River. White told CNN he has advocated on behalf of injured and fallen veterans for 20 years - being awarded the Meritorious Public Service Award from the Coast Guard and from the Navy. White told CNN he is a registered independent who has supported both Republicans and Democrats in the past, including former presidents Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. FEC records show that White contributed to both Republicans and Democrats over the years, including Hillary Clinton in 2008. Most recently, White gave $2,500 to Romney for President, Inc., according to FEC records. White began his letter to Romney stating, "I am currently a max donor to your 2012 presidential campaign." He did not fundraise for the Romney campaign, though he said his partner and some friends also contributed to Romney. In his letter, White goes on to mention the president's public announcement of his personal support for same-sex marriage last week. "Several days later this past Saturday to a packed stadium of young college students you made the following statement that 'Marriage is only between one man and one woman,'" White wrote, referring to Romney's recent commencement address to Liberty University, an evangelical school in Lynchburg, Virginia. "I believe that you will do as you now say and try to force a constitutional amendment which would attempt to make my own legal and blessed marriage null and void." In an interview with CNN, White explained his stance. "I felt we gave 'Hope and Change' a chance and I was looking for something different," White said. "Quite frankly, I was not supporting Barack Obama – I was supporting Mitt Romney. And my support is not just words or my vote, it's also putting my money where my mouth is." White said he does not agree with the president on fiscal policy – something he sides more with Romney on. "I just think we're spending probably money that we don't have," he said. And yet, White said: "I'm looking at the television screen one day and I see my president – whether I'm Republican or Democrat, he is my president…and I'm looking at him doing one thing, one day. And two days later, I'm looking at a guy who I'm supporting for president, and who I want to be my president and who I've given my money to, to be president, saying something I didn't think he would be saying." CNN pressed White: Why now, given that Romney's stance is not new? "I had a very visceral reaction to him – he had a great opportunity… to get on the right side of history," White responded. "And to be someone to the country that helps to unite us, versus what divides us. And I just think his very proactive intention to pounce on this issue now has sent me to the other side." "Now, I feel like he's declared war on my marriage. And I could just sit back and not say anything. Or I could do something about it. And I've chosen to do something about it."

Republican bigotry and idiocy continues... The Virginia House of Delegates rejected the judicial nomination of a gay prosecutor on Tuesday after conservative Republican lawmakers argued that the nominee would press an activist agenda. Early on Tuesday morning, the House voted 33-to-31, with 10 abstentions, against the candidacy of Tracy Thorne-Begland, who was nominated for a judgeship on the General District Court in Richmond. Mr. Thorne-Begland, a deputy commonwealth attorney in Richmond, needed a majority of the 100-member House to be confirmed. He would have been the state’s first openly gay judge. Mr. Thorne-Begland, a former fighter pilot, disclosed his sexual orientation as a Naval officer almost 20 years ago, in a challenge to the military’s "don’t ask, don’t tell" policy barring gays from service. He was honorably discharged after the disclosure. Mr. Thorne-Begland, who is raising twins with his partner, has served on the board of Equality Virginia, a gay rights group. His partner is also a lawyer, according to the group's Web site.
The last one was sublime. We come from some interesting stock here at DL. Here is my latest. Just found out that my Grandfather had a second family that only my Grandmother knew about. They all showed up at his funeral, they didn't make a scene or anything, and then left. When my mom asked who they were, my Grammy spilled the beans. He also left them money in his will. My mom is beyond pissed. Her siblings are more nonchalant about the whole thing. Please share your trash.

Nick Stahl -- the actor who played John Connor in "Terminator 3" -- is missing ... this according to his wife. Law enforcement officials confirm ... Stahl's wife filed a missing person's report with the L.A.P.D. on Monday ... saying she last saw the 32-year-old actor on May 9. Sources tell TMZ ... it is believed Stahl had been frequenting the Skid Row area of Downtown Los Angeles recently ... and there are concerns he may have gotten himself involved in some bad stuff. Back in February, Nick's wife had filed court papers, expressing serious concerns that Nick may be using drugs ... and sources say she fears drugs may have something to do with his disappearance. Stahl's rep declined to comment on the situation.
[bold][italic]Just For Men isn’t just Mitt’s favorite hair product, it’s his campaign slogan[/italic][/bold] I have only one prediction about the rest of 2012: It will be confusing. 827,000 private sector jobs have already been created since January 1, 2012. And apparently, we’re supposed to believe this is bad—compared to the 600,000+ were we losing a month when the President took office. Mitt Romney says he’d be creating 500,000 jobs a month. And the only President to ever do that for more than one month was Mitt Romney’s new hero — Jimmy Carter. But there is some seriously bad news we have to deal with or we’ll be hoping the Mayans were right: voter registration is down among Hispanics and blacks, core parts of any winning Democratic coalition. So first and foremost, register that ass to vote. THEN tell a friend to do the same and pass it on. Republicans know they only win if you don’t vote, so they’re making it harder to vote than it is to buy a gun. Online registration is our best way around this. So why does this election matter? I’ll boil it down to some essentials: (continued)

Mitt Romney is campaigning for president on fiscal responsibility. “The mission to restore America begins with getting our fiscal house in order,” he says. At the same time, the presumptive GOP nominee says he wants to increase military spending. His campaign website claims that a President Romney will peg the Pentagon’s budget to Gross Domestic Product “at a floor of 4 percent of GDP.” What will that mean in dollars? CNNMoney reports that under Romney’s plan, “the additional spending really piles up in future years”: [italic]With the Pentagon’s base budget — which does not include war costs — forecast to hit 3.5% of GDP in 2013, a jump to 4% would mean an increase of around $100 billion dollars in defense spending in 2013. [bold]Compared to the Pentagon’s current budget, Romney’s plan would lead to $2.1 trillion in additional spending over the next ten years[/bold], according to an analysis conducted for CNNMoney by Travis Sharp, a budget expert at the Center for a New American Security. And that number assumes a gradual increase to 4% of GDP. The additional spending would hit $2.3 trillion over a decade if the Pentagon’s budget were to immediately jump to 4% of GDP.[/italic]

05/15/12 Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is pushing a bill to end exclusive marketing rights for new HIV and AIDS drugs and replace them with rewards of money from the government. The measure would stop drug makers from setting high prices during the monopoly phases for new treatments, which reduces access to the drugs for many patients. Sanders, chairman of the Senate subcommittee on Primary Health and Aging, noted that many HIV and AIDS patients die because they cannot afford antiretroviral drugs. He cited one treatment, Atripla, that costs "more than $25,000 per person per year" in the United States. Its generic counterpart costs $200. "The average American would be very upset to know people are dying not because we can't cure them, but [because of] the cost to save their life," Sanders said in a hearing Tuesday. The bill, S. 1138, would use patents awarded to new HIV and AIDS drugs to qualify drug makers for federally-funded monetary rewards. The rewards are designed to replace the profits drug makers would otherwise make during their monopoly periods, Sanders said. Panelists in a hearing Tuesday estimated that the measure would reduce the price of antiretroviral drugs by 90 percent or more. "The bottom line is that the goal of our laws and policies for medicines must be to develop drugs as quickly as possible … and to get them out to every person who needs them as soon as possible," Sanders said. By reducing the costs of antiretrovirals, the measure would also save federal and state health programs money, Sanders's office said.

Nicole, at 46 is way too old to play 33 year old Grace Kelly, for a start. Secondly, Grace wqas a natural beauty who didn't fuck up her face with botox and skin peels. "Nicole Kidman is set to play Grace Kelly, the Oscar-winning Hollywood actor who gave it all up for a life as princess of Monaco, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Grace of Monaco, by screenwriter Arash Amel, was on the 2011 Black List of the best unproduced scripts in Hollywood. It follows the format of recent films such as My Week with Marilyn and The King's Speech, both of which examined a famous 20th-century figure by focusing on a particular moment in their lives. The story on this occasion centres on a six-month period in 1962 when French leader Charles de Gaulle and Monaco's Prince Rainier III were at odds over the opulent principality's standing as a tax haven. Kelly, then 33 and in the first flush of her royal career, was said to have been instrumental behind the scenes in solving the political impasse. The film has the air of classic Oscar-bait and is being directed by Olivier Dahan, whose Edith Piaf biopic La Vie en Rose saw Marion Cotillard take home the Academy Award for best actress in 2008. Kidman won the same Oscar in 2003 for her role as Virginia Woolf in Stephen Daldry's The Hours, and was nominated separately for the best actress and best supporting actress prizes in 2002 and 2011. Dahan's film is likely to follow Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho, which centres on Kelly's famed collaborator and production of his iconic 1960 horror, into cinemas. Anthony Hopkins is to play the British director in the latter film, with Scarlet Johansson as Janet Leigh. Kelly starred in three films for Hitchcock, Dial M For Murder, Rear Window and To Catch a Thief, before quitting Hollywood to marry Rainier in 1955. She died in an a car accident in 1982 and her funeral was watched on television by 30 million people."

If Romney doesn't get 1144 delegates at the GOP convention in Tampa, Ron Paul will get the nomination Just finished chatting at a dinner party with a friend who is an executive at one of the Big News-oganda Networks. Very cute, great body, "straight" but flirts outlandishly. Think hairy dark haired Chris Evans. We had talked about Ron Paul a few years ago, and he wanted to know if I still thought he had a chance. I told him I would rather vote for Satan than Romney, so if he didn't get the nomination I would just say fuck it. He put his hand on my shoulder and said that he had some interesting news. Behind the scenes they've started looking at how the various delegates are pledged, what happens when Santorum and Gingrich pull out, the laws around each delegate, etc. Unless Romney has 1,144 of them legally bound to vote for him, and he wins the nomination outright, then the delegates are free to vote for whomever in the next round. According to him, Ron Paul has been getting delegates elected to various local GOP hqs over the last four years, and many of them are run by his people. As many as 8 out 10 delegates in any district are Ron Paul supporters. Romney keeps fucking up (by opening his mouth) and even die-hard Republicans hate him. Paul has enough money to stay in until August, but Gingrich doesn't. He said The Big News-oganda Network is looking for angles to downplay it should some of the other networks start jumping on the "Mitt vs Ron in Tampa" meme, but a couple of his bosses were NOT happy at this turn of events. When I asked him why, he said "they're afraid they will be out of a job!"

LONDON -- Virgin Atlantic will now allow passengers to make and receive cell phone calls while in flight. The privilege is only available on certain flights and only six passengers at a time will be able to use the system. According to the airline, the new call rule is intended only "for use in exceptional situations." Passengers will be able to send text messages, make a call or access email on mobile devices. Initially, the service, which utilizes a satellite connection, will only be available for customers of European cell phone providers O2 and Vodafone and U.S. carrier T-Mobile. The service debuted Tuesday on the airline's new Airbus A330-300 planes flying between New York and London. The airline won't charge extra for the service, but cell phone users will be charged their carrier's international roaming rates. Dubai-based Emirates became the first carrier to allow passengers to use their personal cell phones back in 2008. This new phone service is part of a larger $160 million dollar upgrade of the airline's Upper Class cabin, although it will be also available to passengers in coach. Calls are not permitted during take-off or landing or within 250 miles of U.S. airspace.

There should be certain topics that are off limits for mockery and I think that should be people who died of AIDS.

Forget everything that's come before: these data-driven butt plugs are far and away the best use of 3D-printing technology on this side of the 2012 presidential campaign. [quote]Grand Ole Party is a data visualization of voter approval rates, amongst registered republicans, for each of the GOP candidates. It's also a set of butt plugs. To make them, Matthew Epler culled data from Gallup's website and used it to create line graphs that represent the fluctuating vote-approval rating of each GOP candidate. Longer plug = longer campaign. Next, the line graphs were imported into a 3D program that turns them into renderings of solid shapes, then a prototype of each one was 3D printed. From the prototypes, molds were made and filled with black silicone: and voila! For $350, you can own the full set of GOP butt plugs. A single unit costs $65 ($45 for Perry or Bachmann, as their campaigns—and thus plugs—were shorter than the rest). Somewhere, I hope, someone is telling Romney: You can take yer approval ratings and shove 'em straight up yer ass! (Which, if you take a gander at his plug, better be a gaping, Goatse-sized hole.)

Just got back from Mothers Day dinner with Mom, my sister, their husbands and my niece and nephew at Mom's house. I cooked so Mom didn't have to. But I don't know how I'm going to get through that again. The children, aged 7 and 3, control the table. Beyond fidgeting, they get up from the table, go to other rooms of the house (with filthy hands, touching furniture, pillows, etc) without asking to be excused, theatrical playing with food at the table, asking the adults to come with them to entertain them because they've had their three bites of food and are bored. My sister and her husband have absolutely no control, and obviously think the kids should be allowed to be kids and not learn to behave. They constantly take pictures of the kids' shenanigans, in effect encouraging this precociousness. I'm the one who instructs the children to sit, to not slurp their drinks, to use their forks, to ask to be excused. I am alone in this effort. And I resent it. In my last career, I managed an expensive fine dining restaurant. Children (though rare at such a place) from good families know how to behave at a table. They know to sit quietly, eat without getting themselves and others filthy, speak when spoken to, and not get up from the table without being excused. I always looked forward to being the fun gay uncle, but instead, I find myself being the stick in the mud I never dreamed I would be. I'm about ready to resign as uncle and godfather and let the children be raised like wolves. Just call me when they're ready to graduate.

05/15/12 Social media advertising is only going to grow over the next few years, according to multiple studies. Expect political campaigns to contribute to that growth, giving it a boost in 2012 alone with the millions already being poured into digital ads by presidential campaigns this year. ClickZ, a website that reports on digital marketing, reported that President Obama's campaign is on track to spend $35 million on online advertising alone this cycle. That's up from about $16 million the campaign spent in 2008, at the time a record amount. In 2008, Obama’s competitor Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) spent around $3.6 million on online advertising. Internet marketing research company comScore found that the Obama campaign out-spent Mitt Romney, now the presumed GOP nominee, along with three of the top former Republican candidates by a ratio of 10 to 1 over the past six months, according to their study released at the end of April. But Zac Moffatt, digital director for Romney's campaign, told NPR this week that Romney is ramping up his social media presence heading into the general election and “now both parties get the Web.” BIA Kelsey, a financial consulting firm in media and telecommunications, predicted in a study released Tuesday that social media ad spending will grow from $3.8 billion in 2011 to $9.8 billion by 2016, with the majority spent on display ads. Display ads target social media audiences on platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Hulu and Pandora. With less than six months left until the election, Obama’s campaign ads are everywhere on these platforms, tapping into information provided by users to target demographics including age, location and sometimes gender. Online advertising is still a tiny fraction of what presidential campaigns spend on advertising overall, even though as a percentage of total campaign advertising, spending on social media has doubled since the last presidential cycle. A report on 2012 political advertising from Borrell Associates found that campaigns put the majority of their online resources into paid search advertising (this strategy is tied to results on Google and other search engines, directing casual searchers to where the campaign most wants them to go), followed by targeted display ads, streaming video, then static site display and email spending. Obama has ramped up his online spending in all five main areas, according to ClickZ: Display ads, paid search, audio, video and email. So far, according to comScore, no Republican candidate has kept up with Obama in these areas. Rick Santorum heavily out-spent his GOP rivals in December 2011 on paid search advertising in an attempt to solve the infamous “Google problem” caused by his last name. And the survey found that Ron Paul has leveraged the viral capabilities of social networks better than any of the other presidential contenders, including Obama, “getting more than twice as many free exposures than the number he paid for” through friends sharing content with other friends (known as “earned media”). But comScore concluded from its study that Obama’s campaign has a “well-oiled machine when it comes to digital campaign strategy,” giving him the home court advantage. "Comparing the Obama campaign — who haven't gone through a primary — with 750 staffers, versus Romney, with 87, is comparing apples and hamburgers," Moffatt told NPR on Monday. Moffatt has shared in multiple interviews recently that Romney's campaign plans to ramp up their social media presence heading into the general election, and the campaign has been hiring for Web-based positions. ComScore credited Obama’s 2008 campaign for setting “a new standard” for online engagement, especially when it comes to fundraising, but added that it was the Republican candidates in 2010 “who took the lead with Twitter and showed how that tool could be used effectively.” The GOP took the majority in the House in that election, a victory credited largely to the grassroots activism of the Tea Party.

My thought was that he was a detective because a criminal would know the gun was visible. I used to have a 22 when I was a kid. It was kept upstate, and I would clean it and knock tin cans off of rocks with it. Haven't had a gun since then. I've never felt I needed one. I don't know anyone else who does except a relative in a rural area where weapons are necessary. Also, he hunts. But I have a friend who says weapons in urban areas are more necessary. I say bull.

Mitt Romney reminds me of Patrick Bateman or Ted Bundy. Appearance-wise, he's mildly handsome and well-maintained. However, he seems completely unable to empathize, sympathize, or connect with any other human being. His wife and kids seem more like props than they do genuine sources of inspiration/love/support. Also, "friends" have come forward throughout the campaign to paint a fuller picture of what he's like in private, but none of them seem to really know him.
A well-placed source tells THR that the pop superstar's fiance Jason Trawick is negotiating the contract which could be signed as soon as next week. Britney Spears is nearing a deal to serve as judge on next season's The X Factor, a well-placed source tells The Hollywood Reporter. Spears' fiance, agent Jason Trawick, is negotiating the contract which could be signed as soon as next week. 'X Factor' Auditions Kick Off March 1 Recently, reports surfaced that the pop superstar was interested in joining the panel, but according to an insider, it was show creator Simon Cowell who made the initial approach. Spears is signed to Sony Music's RCA Records, which absorbed her original label Jive in 2011 and has exclusive music rights to X Factor artists. As one of Sony's Music's marquee acts (33 million albums sold in the U.S. and counting), Spears brings legitimacy as a successful recording artist, something critics of X Factor say was missing in last year's competition, as well as a level of unpredictability and drama that also was largely absent from the Fox show when Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul were judges. During a conference call with reporters in February, Cowell would not confirm that talks had begun with Spears, but did hint that “there’s going to be a lot of twists and turns over the next few weeks and a lot of things we’re going to announce." ANALYSIS: 'X Factor' Shake-Up: Simon Cowell Makes Right Decision But Puts Pressure on Himself To prepare for the seat alongside judges Cowell and Epic Records chairman L.A. Reid, Spears is undergoing extensive media training. Janet Jackson was also in the running as a potential judge, but reportedly bowed out citing previous commitments to tour. No word yet on who might take the fourth spot. Two hosts have yet to be named as well. STORY: 'X Factor' Shake-Up: How Simon Cowell Fired Paula Abdul, Steve Jones and Nicole Scherzinger Another high-ranking show exec recently told THR that the perfect candidate would be someone based in Los Angeles who not only has music business success and credentials, but is perhaps a parent and wants to spend time with his or her kids. Clearly, Spears fits the bill. Spears' representative could not be reached for comment. A rep for the show refused to confirm or comment. Fox had no comment.

The co-pilot who flew alongside John Travolta on Oprah Winfrey's famous audience trip to Australia has filed suit against the "Pulp Fiction" star. The plaintiff, who will only identify himself as "John Doe #22", claims Mr. Travolta asked him to reach over and hold his rudder while Travolta, in the captain's seat, removed something from his eye. As the plaintiff held his arm out for the rudder, Mr. Travolta allegedly grabbed his arm and placed it on the star's exposed and erect genitalia. The actor is then accused of forcing the plaintiff to masturbate him until climax, threatening to grab the aircraft's rudder and crash the Qantas jumbo jet into the Pacific unless the sex act was completed. The copilot, a married father of two, complied with Travolta's demands in order to ensure the safety of the jet's 146 passengers and crew. After completing the humiliating task, he accuses Travolta of spending the next six hours of the flight going into excruciating detail of what sex with Alan Carr was like.

The wife of the super, poor broken English, showed it to me and she said there was a laundry in the basement. So I decided to rent it, but when I looked back on line it didn't saying anything about a laundry room, so at my lease signing I brought it up and they said, oh no, there's no laundry, there is a laundromat around the corner. I rented it anyway. My upstairs neighbor left and a sign appears on the door indicating there is an apartment available with laundry. I think, oh well, maybe they have one. Then today I hear two landlord types on the stairs "Does the tenant know?" then the other one shushes them and then the sign is gone. I look online and see the apt listed without laundry and realize they've just scammed someone else who will soon be renting here and this is what they do.

Out of all of Rachael Ray's shows, this one was my favorite.

Sometimes she'd make it down to the penny, other times she'd go a little over budget. Her critics noted how she never tipped, and if she did it was very little, but hey, she had monetary constraints.

I'm given to believe that many gay Republicans post here -- many of the anti-Obama threads certainly give that impression. I have a question for you and I hope you'll take the time to answer it. I'll refrain from name-calling and insulting you -- I'm really interested in a serious answer. The Republican Party has declared war on The Gay. A look at the evidence: Nationally -- all the major Republican candidates for President have signed a pledge supporting an amendment to the US Constitution that would specifically discriminate against gay people. They have also pledged to investigate pro-gay groups and appoint judges who would not find a right for same-sex marriage. A gay man found it impossible to work for the Romney campaign. Do any gay people work for the Romney campaign at all? It's impossible to say because if they do, they're afraid to self-identify as gay. In Romney's first major speech after successfully wrapping up the nomination, he goes to Liberty University and speaks out against gay equality. And keep in mind, a decade ago, Romney said he was more pro-gay than Ted Kennedy. Kansas, Texas, and Wyoming -- Republicans in all three states prevented the repeal of anti-gay sodomy laws. Colorado -- Republicans, using political chicanery, prevented the state from enacting a Civil Union law. California and New Jersey -- both states would now have marriage equality except for vetoes by supposedly 'moderate' Republican governors. Virginia -- Republicans refused to consider the appointment of an out gay man as judge just because he's in a 'marriage-like' relationship with a man. North Carolina -- the only southern state to avoid an anti-gay amendment falls, but only after the Republicans take over both state houses and pass Amendment One. Nebraska -- The city of Lincoln passes its first gay discrimination law. All the Republicans on the council refuse to vote for it, however. This leads to my question: When the Log Cabin Republicans began -- I believe in the 70's to help fight the Briggs initiative in CA -- it was argued, well I think, that they could influence the party from within to be more accepting of diversity. But hasn't the experiment failed? The party seems to be less accepting of gay equality than ever. Gays can't even work openly for Republican campaigns anymore. That seems to be more extreme than ever. And compare the Republican Party to the Conservative party in Great Britain. Gays there have largely succeeded in fostering a sense of inclusion and fairness in their party. But here the results are disastrous. I guess my question is, when do you concede defeat? Do you keep fighting even though it seems to be getting worse? And related: why is it so different in the UK?

"The baby was seven months old. We don’t know his name. News accounts didn’t provide it. But we know what killed him. That’s what matters. Because his death was preventable – completely and entirely preventable. He died in scorching heat strapped in his car seat in the back of his father’s pickup truck. Thursday, the 4th of May, 2012, the day he died, Houston’s temperature rose to 90 degrees. By the time he quit breathing, he had long since stopped sweating. Or even crying. An infant has little resistance to the horrendous effects of heat stroke. He had no way to escape or call attention to the fact that he was dying, forgotten by a father who is no doubt deep in grief and will stay that way for the rest of his life. News stories say police have filed no charges against the man. The car seat was in the back seat where it belonged to best protect the baby in case of an accident. That’s where a caring parent puts a car seat. The baby’s death is just another horrifying example of a harried parent, focused on his job after dropping off his two older children at school, who forgot a sleeping baby all day long in the back of his vehicle. Babies easily fall asleep in a moving car. How many times have we heard stories about desperate parents driving around the block at two in the morning with a colicky baby hoping the car’s motion will finally make the infant fall asleep. The car’s motion, the location of the car seat and the pace of daily life can so easily end in tragedy. Sad to say, Texas leads the nation in these pitiful cases. We are a large state with temperatures that can rise above 100 degrees three seasons out of the year – spring, summer and fall. So we need to be extra aware of the danger. At 80 degrees, temperatures inside a car – even with the windows cracked – will reach 123 degrees in an hour. In 60 minutes, the temperature inside a car will rise 43 degrees. That means the temperature inside the car that killed this Houston baby rose to 133 degrees. A San Francisco State University web site has a short animation showing how fast a car heats up – even with the windows cracked. It’s shocking and it’s worth the time to view it. It was created by the the school’s Department of Geosciences to show people that even at 70 degrees with the windows cracked, a baby can die, forgotten in a car, where temperatures quickly rise to lethal levels. Experts advise parents to put something in the back set, something they really need, like a purse or a wallet, to remind themselves that their baby is back there. It’s life-saving advice." This is a sign of a society that is too fucking busy and parents who are too focused on rushing to work.

ky on May 9, 2012 at 2:51 pm President Obama has come out in support of marriage equality for gay and lesbian people in an interview with ABC News’ Robin Roberts this afternoon: OBAMA: I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together, when I think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that Don’t Ask Don’t Tell is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in a marriage, at a certain point I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married. His endorsement comes less than a week after Vice President Joe Biden embraced the issue during an appearance on Meet The Press and a day after North Carolina banned marriage equality and civil unions in its state constitution. The president last made news on the freedom to marry 560 days ago, when he told progressive journalists at the White House that he is evolving towards greater acceptance. Obama’s remarks today bring him full circle to his position in 1996, when he was running for the Illinois state Senate. In response to a questionnaire from Chicago’s Outlines gay newspaper, he proclaimed, “I favor legalizing same-sex marriages, and would fight efforts to prohibit such marriages.”

President Obama’s endorsement of same-sex marriage is energizing Christian conservative support for Mitt Romney in a way that the likely GOP nominee has so far not been able to do on his own, according to religious leaders and activists. Pastors in Ohio, North Carolina, Florida and other swing states are readying Sunday sermons inveighing against same-sex unions, while activist groups have begun laying plans for social media campaigns, leaflet drives and other get-out-the-vote efforts centered on the same-sex marriage issue. Romney could benefit from a strong turnout among evangelicals and other social conservatives, many of whom remain skeptical of his commitment to their causes.
My own MOTHER shared this on FB with everyone. She didn't write it, it was a forward, but I know that my mother thinks she knows stuff about politics, but she's basically a Fox sheep. *** This tells the story, why Bush was so bad at the end of his term. Do not just skim over this, read it slowly and let it sink in. If in doubt, check it out. The day the democrats took over was not January 22 2009; it was actually January 3 2007 the day the Democrats took over the House of Representatives and the Senate, at the very start of the 110th Congress. The Democrat Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995. For those who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy that everything is "Bush's Fault", think about this: January 3rd, 2007 was the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress.

MSNBC announced Wednesday that it is making a major change to its lineup. Starting Monday, "The Ed Show" will be moved to the prime 8 PM slot. Lawrence O'Donnell's "The Last Word" will be moved to 10 PM, where it began before it was shifted to 8 PM following Keith Olbermann's departure from the network. Rachel Maddow, the network's highest-rated host, will stay where she is at 9 PM. In a statement, MSNBC president Phil Griffin said that the moves were intended to "strengthen the flow of our programming throughout the evening. As the name implies, 'The Last Word' belongs at the conclusion of our programming day, thoughtfully wrapping-up the day’s political dialogue. Ed’s passionate voice is a perfect kick off to primetime at 8 PM." The move represents a definite promotion for Schultz, who will now go head-to-head with Bill O'Reilly and Anderson Cooper in the marquee cable news hour. It is the second time that Schultz has moved up the totem pole on MSNBC's lineup. He originally held the 6 PM hour currently hosted by Al Sharpton. O'Donnell has recently had to endure a bout of unfavorable news coverage about his ratings. His return to 10 PM also means that he loses a full day of programming, since MSNBC does not air news programming at 10 on Fridays. The move now means that the 8 PM hour has undergone three major changes in less than a year. O'Donnell's ascension to the slot was followed by Cooper's identical move from 10 to 8 in August. Now, Schultz will take on the challenge of the toughest slot in the business. It is a challenge that has felled many.

5/14/12 The Obama campaign's 2-minute ad on Mitt Romney's Bain Capital is record is out, and it is brutal. Targeting Romney's involvement in the acquistion of GST Steel, the commercial shows workers at a shuttered plant pinning Romney and Bain with the blame. “They made as much money off it as they could and they closed it down, they filed for bankruptcy, without any concern for the families or the communities,” says Joe Soptic, a former steelworker. “It was like watching an old friend bleed to death.” The spot directly contrasts the steelworkers' testimonials with Romney's words touting his business experience, showing the Republican saying "I know how business works. I know why jobs come and why they go" and "As I look around at the millions of Americans without work, it breaks my heart." There's a longer version of the video at RomneyEconomics.com.

Obama (49%) Romney (44%) April 11, 2012 PPP’s latest monthly poll of North Carolina finds President Obama taking the largest lead he has ever had in the state over his presumed opponent this fall, Mitt Romney. Obama tops the former Massachusetts governor by five points, 49-44. The president has led or tied Romney in all but one poll in the Tar Heel State since PPP began tracking the race after the 2010 election, but for two months in a row he has now posted 49%—almost the roughly 50% he achieved against John McCain four years ago. Obama’s low-water mark was 44% in March 2011, but for the last six polls, he has either risen or stayed steady, and is up four points overall in that time frame. Romney has achieved 46% four out of the last six months, but that is his high-water mark so far. The president’s net approval rating is in positive territory here for the first time in 10 months. 49% approve and 48% disapprove; it was 49-all last month, and 48-49 in February. At the same time, Romney is also getting less popular. 31% saw him favorably and 56% unfavorably last month. That is now 29-58. Republicans are starting to see him slightly more favorably (from 48-34 to 52-31), but he is tanking with independents (from 36-53 to 25-62) and Democrats (from 15-75 to 12-77). “Barack Obama’s numbers in North Carolina are the strongest they’ve been in over a year,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “Mitt Romney’s been weakened considerably by the Republican nomination process, although there’s plenty of time for him to recover now.”

There was just an article on Randall Woodfield this weekend in the Oregonian. The so-called I-5 Killer (featured in the book of the same name by Ann Rule), he's always been overshadowed by the more famous Pacific NW serial killer from the same time Ted Bundy; but had Bundy not existed, Woodfield would probably be as infamous. A textbook psychopath, Woodfield was convicted of three murders: he is like responsible for eighteen (and has been accused of 44), and is also probably guilty of 60 sexual assaults. He is still in maximum security in Oregon. He was a talented athlete and tried out for the Green Bay packers. A stunningly handsome man in his youth, he also posed for Playgirl, though I've never been able to find his centerfolds online. Does anyone know what name he posed under?

Taking a cue from actor George Clooney, singer Ricky Martin has just announced his plans to support the re-election of President Barack Obama with a special fundraising event this May. The music icon dropped by Univision's Primer Impacto newscast Tuesday night to reveal that he, along with the LGBT Leadership Council and the Futuro Fund, would be hosting a benefit for the President in New York City. "I am proud to support our President," said the openly gay singer on the Spanish language news program. "I believe Barack Obama has shown a deep conviction to help those most in need, even if their voices are not always the ones heard the loudest in Washington. He has also been an exceptionally strong advocate for the Latino and LGBT communities, leading us to precedent setting milestones such as the appointment of the first Hispanic Supreme Court Justice and the repeal of DADT. With his actions, I believe the President has put the United States back on the right path and has earned the opportunity to finish the critical work that he has started." Ricky Martin's fundraising event will take place at Rubin Museum of Art in New York City on May 14.

Yup. Some lucky TSA agent got to do it. Henry Kissinger was searched by the Transportation Security Administration at New York's LaGuardia Airport on Monday. Matthew Cole, a freelance reporter for The Washington Post, recognized the former secretary of state, who is wheelchair-bound, at a security checkpoint. The 88-year-old Kissinger, Cole said, got a "full pat-down." "He stood with his suit jacket off, and he was wearing suspenders," Cole told the Post's "In the Loop" blog. "They gave him the full pat-down. None of the agents seemed to know who he was." In March, the TSA said that it would begin testing a program that would allow passengers 75 and older to keep their shoes and light jackets on as they pass through security. But the TSA said that older passengers may still be subject to normal screening procedures if the full-body scanners detect any anomalies. "It may not be the most egregious violation of privacy [by] the agency," the Atlantic Wire's Ed Randall wrote, "but certainly another high profile example of their less-than-stellar record for singling out comically unlikely suspects." In January, Sen. Rand Paul claimed he was detained by the TSA in Nashville, Tenn., after refusing a pat-down. The TSA, though, refuted Paul's account.

He's an Oscar-nominated star, one of America's most celebrated stage actors and dated Rita Hayworth and Elizabeth Taylor, but Frank Langella might not be so popular when his bitchy new memoir hits the shelves next week. The celebrated Frost/Nixon actor - who played disgraced president Richard Nixon - is revealing the insecurities, egos and delusions of some of the most adored celebrities of all time. The book entitled Dropped Names: Famous Men and Women As I Knew Them promises to be a veritable treasure trove of juicy gossip and RadarOnline.com has a sneak peak at what Langella has to say about some of the people he's worked with. The 74-year-old claims: •Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was the first woman he met who found "money as an aphrodisiac." •Paul Newman was "a pretty dull companion." •Graduate star Anne Bancroft was incredibly vain "consumed by a galloping narcissism that often undermined her talents." •Richard Burton was "a crashing bore" who liked to recite poetry when drunk. •He ended his affair with Elizabeth Taylor telling her she'd "eat him for lunch." •Lee Stasberg was a "pompous pygmy." •Laurence Oliver was "a silly old English gent who loved to play camp and gossip." •Langella famously dated Whoopi Goldberg for several years, but lucky for her his book only takes on deceased celebs.

05/15/2012 WASHINGTON -- Indiana's GOP Senate primary winner Richard Mourdock represents what's wrong with American politics these days, former President Bill Clinton said Tuesday, arguing that Republicans are too "scared" to compromise. Clinton, speaking at the Peter G. Peterson Foundation’s Fiscal Summit, advocated for Democrats and Republicans to come together and work on a big-picture plan to deal with debt and deficits. Asked if Washington could do that, Clinton said it was unlikely until after the elections. "The evidence is that the Republicans will be scared to do it after what happened to Sen. [Richard] Lugar," Clinton said, referencing the six-term Indiana senator Mourdock defeated last week. "We will see, with two or three other primaries, what happens. Obviously, I think there should be a big, bipartisan coalition for this. We may just have to wait till the election is over." Mourdock, the state Treasurer who was enthusiastically backed by Tea Party groups, thumped Lugar in the primary, running on a promise to avoid compromising with Democrats. “The Republican position that tends to prevail in these primaries was expressed by the gentleman who beat Sen. Lugar, who said, 'I’m just against compromise, we need to stop it, it’s weak, it’s foolish, our views are irreconcilable, we have to force the American people to choose which one of us is right' -- if that prevails, we’re toast. We’ll look like a bush-league country.” Clinton said his side shares blame for the gridlock in Washington, but predicted that enough Democrats would be willing to reform some of their cherished programs for the sake of making progress. He also said voters share blame for political gridlock because they elected the Tea Party-backed freshmen who ran promising to avoid compromise. "They go around telling everybody how sorry these politicians are, and they voted for them," Clinton said, noting that the freshman members of Congress are likely confused by their record-low approval ratings. "They must be bewildered. All they're doing is what they promised to do when they won that overwhelming victory. It is not like they did not tell everybody what they were going to do." Still, Clinton argued that the nation needs an approach that values two sides coming together, rather than one that attempts to pull everyone to one side. Mourdock, for example, has said he believes the country is as divided as it was before the Civil War. "The magnets can pull the middle apart," Clinton said. "We need a magnet in the middle and it is the process, it is the idea that a compromise is an honorable thing."
Copying from another site: "I am vaguely following American politics, and it seems very plausible to me that Republican candidate Mitt Romney has some kind of high-functioning autism. He is often described as being like an alien, or a robot, finds odd things to be amusing, and genuinely seems to have an extremely simple, naive personality. He was an "energetic child", and he has achieved success in a field that most people would find boring (venture capitalism). He is often accused of "having no convictions", or "having no personality", which reminds me a lot of many people with Asperger's syndrome. He simply is not an ideologue, and just wants to try to do his best. But the clincher was when I saw this clip: (pasted below) Everything about this clip creams "Asperger's" to me. He is actually being quite genuine, but the way he describes his feelings is very odd. His description of "the right height for trees" reminds me hugely of the sort of thing that aspies say. Also, he clearly had a special interest in cars, and is probably not exaggerating when he says that he had a photographic memory for them. I think that he is a very misunderstood figure. He isn't a heartless monster, he's an aspie who maybe has a very naive idea of how the world works."
In the interest of equality let''s make assumptions about straight women too! Why do a lot of them hate sucking cock, refuse to do it and/or get no pleasure from it. Most of my female friends enjoy it for its own sake but if what I read is correct a lot of straight guys have a hard time getting a blow job.\ \ Discuss.

Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) is getting additional security after a tea party-affiliated activist backing one of her GOP opponents publicly declared that they “have to kill the Claire Bear.” The U.S. Capitol Police contacted local police in Kirkwood, Mo., and asked them to step up patrols near McCaskill’s home. McCaskill also has more personal security present at her campaign and official events, sources said. The beefed-up security comes after Scott Boston, a conservative activist, told a tea party event last Thursday that McCaskill was an “evil monster” and needed to be removed from office, according to a transcript of his comments. Boston was speaking a Tea Party Express event. That group is endorsing Sarah Steelman, who is vying for the GOP senatorial nomination to take on McCaskill in the fall. “We have to get Claire McCaskill out,” Boston said, according to the audio recording of the event. “We have to kill the Claire Bear, ladies and gentlemen.” Boston added: “She walks around like she’s some sort of Rainbow Brite Care Bear or something, but really she’s an evil monster.” Missouri Democrats called on all three of McCaskill’s potential challengers to repudiate Boston’s comments. “The kind of language in this threat is totally unacceptable and needs to be immediately renounced by Todd Akin, John Brunner and Sarah Steelman,” said Caitlin Legacki, a spokeswoman for the Missouri Democratic Party. “Akin, Brunner and Steelman need to make it crystal clear to their supporters that this kind of language will not be tolerated in any venue under any circumstances. If they refuse to do so, these three candidates are sending a clear message that they endorse the kind of inflammatory language that could lead to violence, or something worse.” Boston told the St. Louis Post Dispatch, which first reported the additional security for McCaskill, that “in no way do I think the senator should be at all harmed.” Steelman, in a statement, says Boston’s words were overblown and taken out of context. “When a conservative citizen makes a statement the liberal press attacks it and spins it in the worst way,” Steelman said. “Yet when President Obama states ‘If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun’ or his Senator, Claire McCaskill suggest, ‘We should take up pitchforks if Congress doesn’t raise taxes’, the liberal media applauds it. This is a typical double standard and why we conservatives are at war with the liberal establishment. “I may disagree with the words Mr. Boston chose in his statement, but I understand his frustration and I emphatically support his right to express his views.” But Brunner called Boston’s comments “unconscionable” and said such violent rhetoric should not be used in campaigns. “This type of rhetoric is unconscionable and I reject this kind of politics,” Brunner said. “Comments like these have no place in this U.S. Senate campaign, or any other campaign in this country, because they don’t represent American values.” Security at campaign and political events has become an increasing concern for lawmakers in both parties following the tragic shooting of former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) in January 2011. Six people died in that Tucson shooting, which left Giffords with long-term physical damage. Giffords resigned from the House on Jan. 25 to focus on her recovery.

The once pretty Playgirl centerfold Stephen Scott is now a washed up porn star called Mark Davis. His chief co-conspirators in this shambolic lifestyle are his alcoholic ex-wife (C list porn performer Kitten, who variously also goes by Kitt Scott and Marci Scott) and her well reviewed escort best friend (Sinnamon Love, a sometime madam specializing in introductions to black porn stars, fetish sessions, and taking her youngest child with her to NYC on escort trips). Kitten and Sinnamon are best friends, because these two share the ignominy of each having spent more than a decade in adult without the achieving the fame of being able to sell DVDs based on their name alone. The experience had left them bitter and brittle. How do I know this? I unfortunately became entangled in their web of insanity via my job writing about the adult industry.

I can't figure out if this is supposed to be Louis CK or Jerry Seinfeld. ************* Male comedians are weird. They jerk off all the time, and then go on stage and talk about jerking off all the time, for money and laughs. But our nation's most hilarious stand-up comic and critically cherished sitcom auteur adds a thrilling twist to his onanistic escapades: He traps unsuspecting women in his hotel room and makes them stick around until he's done. We've heard from several sources that this shameless funnyman whips it out at the most inopportune moments, often at times when his female companions have expressed no interest in watching him go at it. A representative example: At the Aspen Comedy Festival a few years ago, he invited a female comedy duo back to his hotel room. The two ladies gladly joined him, and offered him some weed. He turned it down, but asked if it would be OK if he took his dick out. Thinking he was joking (that's exactly the kind of thing this guy would say), the women gave a facetious thumbs up. He wasn't joking. When he actually started jerking off in front of them, the ladies decided that wasn't their bag and made for the exit. But the comedian stood in front of the door, blocking their way with his body, until he was done. One of the ladies was so shaken by the episode that she complained to the festival's organizers about the comedian's behavior. She promptly received a call from his extremely powerful manager explaining that, if she valued her career, she would drop it. She valued her career. When we contacted the victim to check out the story, she wrote back: "first of all, your facts are wrong. and secondly, i don't want to be a part of this story. i'm sure you understand." When we asked her which facts were wrong and if the incident ever happened at all, she wrote: "please don't contact me about this matter anymore. Breast of luck to you." When we reached out to the extremely powerful manager, he put the comedian's publicist in touch with us. After a lengthy and detailed phone conversation, the publicist agreed to ask the comedian about the incident. Weeks went by and we heard nothing. When we followed up with the publicist, he replied: "Sorry for delay but I never heard back from [him]." If you've ever come across this jerk-off (or if he's ever come across you!), please let us know. He's lucky no one's called the cops yet.

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer has approved legislation making it easier for debt collectors to go after defaulting consumers and small businesses. Brewer signed House Bill 2664 into law today. The measure allows collection agencies to use final billing statements as a basis to show amounts owed and interest rates as they seek court judgments and wage garnishments. The bill was favored by debt collectors, which buy delinquent accounts from banks and credit card companies for pennies on the dollar, but receive only minimal information from those sources. It can be difficult and expensive for the collection companies to get additional information on the defaulting consumers and business owners. Debt collectors’ business model depends on them collecting money from the account holders whose information they buy. The new state law makes it easier on them if they can obtain final billing statements from the banks and credit card issuers. Consumer attorneys and Democrats opposed the bill, worrying about the accuracy of credit card statements and fees.

5/14/12 Energy industry bigwigs have spent the past three-plus years talking trash about President Barack Obama’s policies, but that’s not stopping their executives and employees from filling his campaign war chest. Workers from some of the country’s largest oil, gas and electric utility companies — including ExxonMobil, BP and Exelon — have given $772,000 to Obama’s campaign through mid-April, according to donation data for this election cycle compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics. The significant amount of cash from the oil and gas industry somewhat counters the Republican rhetoric about the administration’s record, specifically on EPA regulations and oil and gas drilling. Of course, Obama’s energy and natural-resources industry haul is less than half the $1.8 million that Mitt Romney has raked in during the same time period. It also doesn’t include the outside super PAC attack ads against Obama from the likes of Koch brothers-funded Americans for Prosperity or the fundraiser last Wednesday at the Oklahoma City home of oil executive Harold Hamm, the Republican nominee’s top energy campaign adviser. Energy-minded donors whom POLITICO spoke with gave differing reasons for supporting Obama. Several said they are die-hard Democrats who welcome his first-term emphasis on clean energy and green jobs. Others cited his embrace of the Republicans’ “all of the above” energy message, saying it helped soothe their concerns that his administration would be an excessive regulator if elected for another four years. Duke Energy CEO Jim Rogers and his wife, Mary Anne, have given $10,000 to the Obama campaign. “My bet is the difference between what Romney would do and what President Obama would do would not be great, because I think President Obama has been moderate in his approach to energy issues,” Rogers said in an interview. More than others in the energy industry, Rogers has skin in the game for Obama. He was among the most outspoken power company executives pushing for cap-and-trade legislation, and he doesn’t object to the Environmental Protection Agency’s recent release of greenhouse gas rules for power plants. “I look at his record since he’s been in office, and I think he’s done a good job of ‘all of the above,’ keeping them all in,” Rogers said. “You know, like all things in life, it’s not perfect.” Beyond the $10,000 donation, Rogers has value as the co-chairman of the Democratic National Convention Committee, where he can spread the Obama energy message in his frequent trips to Democratic donor hot spots such as Miami, Los Angeles, New York and Chicago. He has also kicked in the maximum $100,000 individual donation toward the Charlotte convention. Employees from oil and gas companies have also been helpful to Obama this cycle, including Exxon ($16,394), BP ($12,150), Chevron ($11,750), Bonanza ($10,962), Rudman Partnership ($10,000), Royal Dutch Shell ($9,552) and Hess ($3,712).

In several urgent fundraising appeals, Rep. Michele Bachmann falsely claims that biased “liberal judges” redrew her congressional district “in retaliation for repeatedly standing up to President Obama.” The truth is that only two of the five judges were Democratic appointees, and Bachmann’s Minnesota district has become even more Republican than it was before. It’s true that a bipartisan panel of judges redrew district lines and placed the town where Bachmann lives in an abutting district represented by a Democrat. But she has chosen to again run in the 6th District, the one she has represented since 2007. And she doesn’t even have to move to do that. Bachmann has sent out several appeals that carry the same message: Bachmann email, May 11: A major development has just occurred in my race for the U.S. House of Representatives and I’m asking for your immediate help… …You see, in retaliation for repeatedly standing up to President Obama on the national stage, liberal judges have redrawn the lines of my Minnesota Congressional District to try and wipe me off of the political map once and for all. Their bias was so obvious they even gerrymandered my home — where my wonderful husband Marcus and I live –- entirely out of my District and placed it into one held by a six-term Democrat incumbent! In the email, sent to national supporters of her failed presidential bid, Bachmann writes, “You and I must NOT allow the courts to defeat me by moving me out of my district at such a pivotal election. To hand the Obama Democrats this victory now would be to destroy all we have built over these last six years.” The email goes on to ask donors to make “a commitment to my campaign in the amount of $2,500, $1,000, $500, $250, $100, $70, or $35 today.” Let’s start with the bogus claim that the new district lines were redrawn by “liberal judges.” As Mother Jones reported on May 9, the redistricting was done by a five-judge panel selected by Minnesota’s chief justice, Lorie Gildea. Gildea was elevated to chief justice by former Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty (the Minneapolis Star Tribune wrote about it in an article headlined “Pawlenty’s picks keep high court tilting right“). Only two of the five judges on the panel Gildea selected were Democratic appointees. One was appointed by Gov. Jesse Ventura, who was a member of the Independence Party of Minnesota; one was appointed by Pawlenty. And one by former Republican Gov. Arne Carlson. Contrary to Bachmann’s assertion that the development “just occurred,” the panel issued its redistricting decision on Feb. 21. It’s true that the newly drawn plans moved Bachmann’s home in Stillwater into the 4th Congressional District. The decision to move Stillwater into the 4th District was perfectly logical, said David Wasserman, a political analyst at the nonpartisan Cook Political Report. The 4th District, which takes in St. Paul, simply had not grown as fast as the rest of the state and needed to pick up population. And the 6th District had grown so quickly, it needed to lose population, he said. “This was not a partisan map,” Wasserman said. “Her assertions are baloney.” Bachmann’s home now lies in the 4th District, which is considered a safe Democratic district. But Bachmann isn’t running in the 4th District. Per the U.S. Constitution, a congressional candidate doesn’t need to actually live in a district to represent it (though the candidate does have to live in the state). Immediately after the redistricting plan was unveiled, Bachmann announced she would run to retain her seat in the 6th District. “It may be a nuisance to her that her home was carved out of the 6th District, but the 6th District actually got more Republican,” Wasserman said. “She’s even safer than she was before.” By the Cook Report’s estimation, the 6th District was 7 percentage points more Republican than the national average before the redistricting, and now it is 8 percentage points more Republican than the national average. The redistricting actually “strengthened her position,” Wasserman said.

It's been seven months since Leah Remini and Holly Robinson Peete left The Talk, and now Remini is finally ready to spill the beans about their surprise exits. On Monday, Remini blamed co-host Sharon Osbourne, 59, for getting them axed from the CBS talk show. "Sharon thought me and Holly were 'ghetto'. . . we were not funny, awkward and didn't know ourselves," Remini, 41, tweeted. "She has the power that was given to her." (Remini was tweeting in response to a radio interview Osbourne had done with Howard Stern, 58.) Osbourne denied Remini's claims via Twitter Tuesday, saying: "In response to Leah Remini's continuous comments that I had her fired from The Talk, let me just go on the record to say I had absolutely nothing to do with her departure from the show and have no idea why she continues to take to Twitter to spread this false gossip." Leah knows that I have never been in the position to hire or fire anyone on the show," Osbourne added. "That being said, my only wish is that Leah would just stop all this negative, unprofessional and childish behavior. It's been seven months. . .it's time to move on. Leah is a very talented actress and I only wish her happiness and success." She concluded: "I know that better things are to come if she can just get beyond all this negativity." Remini didn't stop tweeting, though. On Wednesday, she argued that Osbourne "just wants publicity out of this" and said she has no intention of keeping quiet. "If someone wants me to stop, they should call a lawyer and tell them what I am NOT telling the truth about," Remini told her followers. "We can go from there."

The Arizona Charter Athletic Association state championship baseball game wasn't played Thursday night because Mesa Prep's second baseman is a girl. Paige Sultzbach, a freshman, is playing baseball because her high school doesn't offer girls softball. But the school Mesa Prep was to face in the final, Our Lady of Sorrows Academy, said its boys would not compete against a team with a girl and forfeited the game - and the state title - to Mesa Prep. "As a Catholic school, we promote the ideal of forming and educating boys and girls separately during the adolescent years, especially in physical education, Our Lady of Sorrows said in a statement, according to CNN affiliate KTVK. "It takes tremendous moral courage to stand by what it is you believe, and they are doing what they think is right," Mesa Prep Headmaster Robert Wagner told KTVK. But Sultzbach's mother, Pamela Sultzbach, said her daughter and the Mesa Prep team were being done a disservice. "This is not a contact sport. It shouldn't be an issue. It wasn't that they were afraid they were going to hurt or injure her, it's that (they believe) that a girl's place is not on a field," Pamela Sultzbach told the Arizona Republic. "I respect their views, but it's a bit out of the 18th century," Amy Arnold, Mesa Prep's athletic director, told the Republic. Mesa Prep and Our Lady of Sorrows played twice during the regular season, but Sultzbach sat out, as they were away games for her team. "It was on their field, and I felt the need to respect their rules," she told KTVK. The final would have been on a neutral field, and Sultzbach wanted to play. Now, despite being hailed as state champions, Mesa Prep will feel like they've missed something, Pamela Sultzbach said. "This team has worked so hard," she said. "They're undefeated. They had one game left. At our school, we're taught that when you start something, you complete it, and they weren't done."

Mark Ruffalo: The next 'Hulk'? Bana. Norton. Ruffalo? In the last 24 hours, both fanboys and entertainment insiders have been in a frenzy over the idea of Mark Ruffalo becoming the next "Hulk.%C3%A2%C2%80%C2%9D As reported earlier this week, Marvel Studios is on the hunt for a new actor to replace Edward Norton for the forthcoming project, %C3%A2%C2%80%C2%9CThe Avengers.%C3%A2%C2%80%C2%9D Norton was the replacement for Eric Bana, who assumed the role in Ang Lee%C3%A2%C2%80%C2%99s dreamier, 2003 version. Audiences and critics alike agreed that the 2008 reboot featuring Norton as %C3%A2%C2%80%C2%9CThe Incredible Hulk,%C3%A2%C2%80%C2%9D brought toughness and realism back to the role.

employment insurance recipients may be forced to take jobs that would otherwise be filled by temporary foreign workers. The federal government wants to reduce disincentives to work and create a "greater connection" between the EI program and the temporary foreign worker program, Immigration Minister Jason Kenney told the National Post editorial board this week. "If you don't take available work, you don't get EI," he said. "That's always been a legal principle of that program." Under the proposed reforms, unemployed Canadians who are receiving EI would be required to accept local jobs that are currently being filled by temporary foreign workers. "What we will be doing is making people aware there's hiring going on and reminding them that they have an obligation to apply for available work and to take it if they're going to qualify for EI," Kenney said. "It makes no sense to bring in people from abroad when there are Canadians just across the street willing to do the work," Kenney's spokeswoman Alexis Pavlich told Postmedia News Thursday. So if you are a secretary, a teacher, a hairdresser or a actor and you are collecting unemployment insurance. To get it you might have to work for it by cleaning toilets.

Throughout his campaign, Mitt Romney has struggled to deflect criticism that he is an unprincipled flip-flopper. This argument has been pointed out by his competition and by leading conservative commentators such as Brit Hume, who recently warned, “You are only allowed a certain number of flips before people doubt your character.” Indeed, Romney’s shifting positions have extended to issues including, but certainly not limited to, abortion, health care, and climate change. But of all the issues on which Romney has taken a stance, few have been subject to more contortions than homosexuality and marriage equality. It’s often noted that Romney’s vigorous opposition to gay marriage — so extreme that he has aligned himself with the right-wing National Organization for Marriage — is not a staunch, long-held belief. During Romney’s 1994 senatorial run, for example, he pledged to “make equality for gays and lesbians a mainstream concern.” Eight years later, during his 2002 run for governor, Romney took a similarly progressive position when he proclaimed, “All citizens deserve equal rights, regardless of sexual preference.” What has been largely overlooked is that prior to Romney’s unsuccessful senatorial run, his beliefs about gays were, to put it kindly, not so magnanimous. According to several articles in the Boston Globe in the mid ’90s, just before launching his senate run, Romney told an audience of Mormon Church members that homosexuality was “perverse” and “reprehensible.” From the Boston Globe, July 15, 1994: Speaking last fall to a Mormon Church gathering, Mitt Romney, then on the verge of launching a bid for a US Senate seat, expressed dismay at reports of homosexual behavior in the group and denounced homosexuality as “perverse,” according to several people present at the meeting. Romney’s alleged comments on homosexual practices were part of a 20-minute address he delivered on November 14 to the Cambridge University Ward, which numbers about 250 to 300 single Mormons. “He said he was appalled at the incidence of homosexuals in the congregation,” said Rick Rawlins, a 32-year-old Mormon who had previously served as a counselor to the ward’s bishop. “He went on to say that he found homosexuality both perverse and reprehensible.” Romney denied the veracity of the comments but, as the Globe noted, the account was confirmed by three other attendees: “I believe that his general message was that sex outside of marriage is immoral, but on the other hand, I do remember that there was a specific remark that he was appalled at the incidence of homosexuality in the ward and he termed it perverse,” said one. “It was specific enough that I wanted to go see Bishop [Steven] Wheelwright right after that talk.” Another person present offered this account. “During the talk, President Romney began talking about families and family values, and he mentioned homosexuality as a perversity. He went on for some time.” This person didn’t recall the exact term Romney used to express his dismay at report of homosexual conduct, but said: “He certainly was conveying that he was appalled.” Said a fourth person: “He started going on about being upset about homosexuality in this ward. I remember him calling it a sickness and a perversion.” The Romney campaign was deeply displeased by the Globe’s disclosure of the candidates comments. In fact, as the paper subsequently reported on July 24, 1994, one of Romney’s consultants accused the Kennedy campaign of leaking the story. “You have to wonder what payroll they’re on…what Kennedy payroll,” Charles Manning told a local radio host. (The allegation was denied by both the Kennedy campaign and the Boston Globe.)

Canada's election fraud scandal continues to unfold. Elections Canada just matched the IP address used to set up thousands of voter suppression robocalls to one used by a Conservative Party operative, and a comparison of call records found a perfect match between the illegal calls, and records of non-supporters in the Conservative Party's CIMS voter tracking database, as well as evidence access logs may have been tampered with. Meanwhile, legal challenges to election results are underway in seven ridings, and an online petition calling for an independent public inquiry into the crisis has amassed over 44,000 signatures. The Conservative Party still maintains their innocence, calling it a baseless smear campaign.

Attached is a history of the Speedo from an Australian point of view. This paragraph caught my eye:%0D\ %0D\ ''American men have an aversion to displaying their bodies in public,'' one German visitor blogged. ''Ever since gay men came out of the closet in the ''80s and showed us who they were, straight American men went into the closet to show us what they weren''t. Before the late ''80s men wore shorter shorts and swimwear was short and fitted. Men used to be so free and liberated then. Now they are scared.''%0D\ %0D\ Amen! Americans need to get over their body aversion. The full article attached.

Sweet Jesus, I just watched this on Showtime. If any of you guys liked Showbiz Moms and Dads on Bravo, this one is for you. It is like that series but without the semi talented kids (Well, with the exception of that godawful Shane Kligensmith!) combined with Day of The Locust. It is about the hundreds (thousands) of kids and their idiot parents who come to LA for pilot season to find their children stardom. This doc takes place at the Oakwood Apartments which is a Melrose Place of Child Actors. I have never seen so many delusional pathetic adults in my life. It was extremely depressing to watch. The neurotic overweight mother and her equally neurotic and eccentric daughter are the showstopppers of this bio. You have a parent lured into Scientology, you get to see these scumbag child agents putting the hard sell on these moronic parents. The last 30 minutes really sheds some light on Hollywood and would probably prevent anyone from taking their kids out there. You realize you are watching adults with serious issues and it is a shame that the kids pay the price. I can only imagine how these horrific casting agents must laugh hysterically at some of these desperate people behind their backs. Really sad piece. Highly recommended.

Last Sunday, two Alaskan Malamutes fatally mauled a Schnoodle named Kaiser at a Carroll Gardens dog park. It was their second victim in the past few weeks, and now city investigators are investigating whether the dogs should be euthanized. Malamute owner Robert Harney says, "I'm horrified over this," but Schnoodle owner Alexis Russo says Harney's pets are too dangerous, and should either be put down or muzzled at all times. He told the Post, "They have tasted blood, and it's only a matter of time." The Malamutes, Jack and Ginger, entered the park shortly after Russo and his Schnoodle, Kaiser, on September 25th. Russo says the violence began almost immediately. "You only see this on Discovery Channel, and then it's a lion eating its prey," said Russo. "They were blood thirsty. The sounds they made were otherworldly." Russo rushed Kaiser to a nearby animal hospital, where they said there was nothing they could do, and Russo was forced to get Kaiser euthanized. Russo said Harney "kept apologizing and said it wasn't the first time his dogs had attacked. He pleaded with us not to call police." Harney claims he called out to see if anyone was in the park before letting his dogs off the leash, and said, "This is a heartbreaking situation for me...I don't want anyone's animal hurt." But another attacked dog owner said, "He needs to put those dogs to sleep, but he just doesn't get it." Wikipedia says the Alaskan Malamaute "has a long genetic foundation of living in the harshest environment imaginable, and many of its behaviors are evolved to conform with "survival of the fittest." While intelligent, they are widely believed to be one of the most difficult dogs to train."

May 14, 2012 MIAMI — Anton Fajardo voted for John McCain in 2008 but is now for Barack Obama. Alex Toledo backed Obama yet likes Ron Paul. Juan Morales also voted for Obama, and thinks he will again, but is keeping an open mind. Three perspectives on the 2012 election with a common tie: Fajardo, Toledo and Morales are in their early 30s and of Cuban descent. Together they represent an ideological shift that is altering Florida's political landscape and may help decide the presidency. A couple of generations removed from the exile experience of the 1960s, which created lockstep allegiance to the strongly anti-Communist GOP, younger Cubans are brandishing a more independent outlook. "Any Cuban I know who is over 45 years will vote Republican no matter what," Fajardo, 32, said over the lunchtime commotion of Miami Beach's Lincoln Road. "I think my peers will vote as I do, whoever they think is the best candidate." The race between Obama and Mitt Romney, the presumptive GOP nominee, is expected to be a repeat of Florida's 2008 election, in which Obama's victory with less than 3 percent of the vote proved that no advantage or weakness among 1.2 million Cuban-American residents can be overlooked. Obama captured 35 percent of the Cuban-American vote four years ago, more than any Democrat since Bill Clinton in 1996 and 65 percent of support from voters ages 18 to 29. McCain took 66 percent of the vote from Cubans ages 50 to 64 and 79 percent from those 65 to 74. "My dad's a diehard Republican. He always brings it up saying, 'You voted for Obama and the situation we're in is all your fault,' " said Toledo, 32, who manages the interactive department at an marketing firm in Miami Beach. That Toledo is leaning toward long-shot Paul — Obama, he said, did not deliver the change he promised — is a sign the president has work to do among a group that harbors some of the same disillusionment as other young voters. • • • It used to be enough for Republican politicians to sweep in to Miami, sip Cuban coffee at Versailles restaurant and hammer on Fidel Castro to seal the Cuban vote that makes up about 70 percent of the Republican electorate in Miami-Dade. But the younger generation is less motivated by those politics, having assimilated into mainstream U.S. culture. "I grew up thinking I was Republican and it wasn't until I started asking questions and not getting answers besides, 'Oh because Kennedy betrayed us,' that I started to change," said Aimee Valera, referring to the botched Bay of Pigs invasion a half-century ago. Valera, who was born in Cuba, sought citizenship so she could vote for Obama and is volunteering for his campaign. She's trying to convert her sister, who favors Republicans but "is leaning toward the Democratic side" because of women's issues, Valera said. The change is also driven by the introduction of Mariel boatlift immigrants into the voting class. Fleeing Cuba en masse in 1980, the refugees were driven more by economic than political reasons. Along with more recent arrivals, they tend to be less against the trade embargo and more in favor of increased travel with Cuba. Political strategists in Miami caution against drawing too strong a connection to U.S. policy and fading allegiances, but for various reasons, overall GOP support among Cuban-Americans has dropped by nearly 20 percent in since 2000. Republicans, who face much broader concerns over attracting non-Cuban Hispanics, expect the economy will reverse the trend and pledge an aggressive outreach program in South Florida. Obama's also not the cool new guy, either. "Obama was a very unique candidate but this is a whole new ball game," said Bettina Inclan, director of Hispanic outreach for the Republican National Committee. "I think there's no more emotional issue when you can't figure out how to pay your bills and achieve the American Dream." Others are unsure.
Younger Cuban-American voters shift away from the GOP and toward an independent outlook

Really interesting blog essay from someone who formerly worked at Arista. "As I watched Oprah Winfrey interviewing daughter Bobbi Kristina and sister-in-law Pat Houston the other night, (which scored huge ratings), I could feel how hard Winfrey was working to shape the narrative by the choice of which leading questions to ask and which to leave out. It did occur to me that Winfrey would have multiple reasons, (perhaps even personal reasons), to avoid any discussion of sexual orientation. But here’s the irony that that makes the media’s apparent complicity with the family and the record label to expunge any dialogue about Whitney’s sexuality so surprising: it really wasn’t much of a secret to begin with. If you worked in the business, or at Arista Records, as I did, you knew that Whitney was at least bisexual, if not gay, and you certainly knew that for years Whitney was partnered with Robyn. It was common knowledge, not proprietary information. You’d be at a venue and see them kissing. It just wasn’t that secret a secret, except to the public."

MONDAY MAY 14, 2012 A new national poll from Gallup shows Americans are both warming to the current economic conditions and to former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, the likely Republican nominee. Romney notches his highest favorability rating since the Republican primary campaign swung into action, hitting 50 percent favorability against 41 percent unfavorability, well higher than his negative splits from early in 2012. The TPM Poll Average has shown Romney’s personal rating tick up since he became the presumptive nominee. “The former Massachusetts governor gets stronger ratings than the president when it comes to handling the economy, the issue likely to drive the campaign,” USA Today, which commissioned the survey, wrote. “In the poll, 55 percent say the economy would get better over the next four years if Romney was elected, compared with 46 percent who say it would improve if Obama was re-elected. Twenty-seven percent said the economy would get worse in a Romney first term, compared with 37 percent who say that of an Obama second term.” The survey also shows that Americans are viewing the economy more generally in a more optimistic way. From USA Today: Though an overwhelming 71 percent rate economic conditions as poor, a 58 percent majority predict they will be good a year from now. Although those surveyed are inclined to say they are financially worse off than a year ago, nearly two-thirds say they think they’ll be better off this time next year. That assessment of personal finances already is on the upswing. More than one-third report they are better off than they were a year ago — the highest number since before the economic meltdown in 2008. (They’re still outnumbered by the four in 10 who say they’re worse off.)

I have been dating this new guy -- two dates so far. I am not so dumb as to think he doesn't like me -- two dates is an indication that he does. The third is set for this weekend. But I am very new at this. My long-time partner -- my first and only sexual partner -- died four years ago. I have been on other dates in the last year, but nothing happened and there was only one second date. He have not made a romantic move and I am thinking he's waiting for me. I am not a prude -- my partner and I had a very happy sex life -- but I honestly don't know what to do. My friends have said just invite him back to your place. But I don't want to leap in bed (yet), I just want to let him know I am interested -- flirt a bit. Maybe kiss. But how do I proceed. We're going to a movie and then dinner after. Need some flirting tips. Bitchy comments welcomed. But if you have some ideas, I'd be very grateful. I'm in my late 40s, he's 50 -- if that helps.

Well, her control-freak hubby just casually announced that she is pregnant once again (with Number 5), though he seems far more concerned about his manly new "Crisis Leadership Network," whatever the fuck that is.

May 10, 2012 (AP) WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - A lesbian who sought a North Carolina marriage license with her partner and was rejected under a state law banning same-sex marriage was arrested with another person Thursday after they refused to leave a government office where several gay and lesbian couples were turned away. The civil disobedience followed a day after President Barack Obama publicly endorsed same-sex marriage, and two days after North Carolina voters overwhelmingly passed a constitutional amendment that defines marriage as solely between a man and a woman. The protest came amid attempts by a gay rights group, Campaign for Southern Equality, to broaden public support to allow same-sex marriage and more protests are planned in coming days at other county offices in North Carolina that issue marriage licenses Nine gay and lesbian couples each presented completed forms and identification to a clerk at the local Register of Deeds office in Winston-Salem, but were refused because state law recognizes only heterosexual couples. Why Obama came out for same-sex marriage now Republicans seek to unify base over Obama's same-sex marriage announcement "We cannot issue you a marriage license because it is not allowed under North Carolina law," a clerk told Brent Morin, 36, and his partner Gerald Morin, 42, of Winston-Salem. On Tuesday, North Carolina became the 30th state to pass a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. The state already has laws that prohibit gay marriage, but adding the prohibition to the state constitution will make that much harder to change. "Can you at least acknowledge on here that you're denying it and the date?" Brent Morin asked, his ring-bearing left hand trembling. The clerk complied. Other clerks smiled sheepishly or shook the hands extended to them by couples they had turned away. "I just want to point out that we're married in the District of Columbia, our nation's capital," Morin said. "Thank you." "Hopefully, one day you'll be able to say yes," said a woman who was the first to request a license with her partner. She and most of the other couples declined to give their names. A group spokesman said most couples feared trouble with their employers or other complications. Mary Jamis, 52, of Mocksville, and a heterosexual friend who joined the protest, Mary Lea Bradford of Winston-Salem, were arrested after they blocked the entrance to the marriage license office and refused to leave more than 30 minutes after closing time. A county administrator tried to talk the women into leaving and avoiding arrest, but the two insisted they would stay unless Jamis was issued a marriage license for her and her partner, Starr Johnson, 48. A half dozen female officers then crowded around Jamis and Bradford, who were seated. The officers asked them to stand, handcuffed them and led them out a side door and into a van to be booked at the county sheriff's department across the street. They were charged with second-degree trespass, a low-level misdemeanor, and released without bond, authorities said. Christine Regan, 35, and Megan Silbert, 34, of Winston-Salem, were rejected for the marriage license while a heterosexual couple a few steps away were receiving theirs. Nate Bounds, 29, and Alicia Picou, 32, of Winston-Salem said they planned to marry May 19, when his father could arrive from his home overseas. Picou said she did not object to same-sex couples being allowed to wed. "Why not? I don't think it's really anybody's business," she said. I don't think it's the government's business to be telling people what to do with their private lives." The demonstration attracted no counter-protest and it's likely few inside the sprawling county office building knew the protest was under way. The Campaign for Southern Equality's "We Do" effort that sends same-sex couples to fruitlessly ask for marriage licenses started last fall in Asheville, culminating in the arrest of a lesbian couple who said they had been together for 30 years. That two-week effort was followed by efforts in South Carolina

MAY 14, 2012 Mitt Romney was far to the right of President Obama on the issue of marriage equality well before Obama offered his support for legalized same-sex marriage. But in another sign that Republicans are nervous about being cast as the anti-gay party, Romney is steering clear of chances to explain just how different he is from the president. Given the chance to take on Obama directly over marriage, Romney has repeatedly avoided talking about the issue, or addressed it in muted terms. Despite Republican protestations that the two candidates were on the same page before Obama embraced same-sex marriage, Romney could not be further from the president’s position. During the primaries, Romney signed the National Organization for Marriage’s pledge — a promise to support a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage and to create a presidential commission to protect defenders of traditional marriage “who have been harassed” by gay-rights advocates. Obama, on the other hand, has publicly opposed state ballot initiatives aimed at restricting marriage rights, and has used executive power to expand gay rights protections. He has instructed his administration to stand down on defending the Defense of Marriage Act, while Romney’s signature on the NOM pledge means he has promised to defend it. But in an election many Republicans think they have a chance of winning only if it becomes a referendum on the economy, Romney is steering as clear of the marriage debate as he reasonably can. A couple of examples: • Just two days after Obama made his historic shift to openly supporting the right of same-sex couples to marry, Romney made a campaign stop in Charlotte, N.C., the city that will host the Democratic convention this summer. This was a chance for Romney to sidle up to the voters who just days earlier had cast their ballots in favor of new restrictions on gay marriage in a state that Obama hopes to win again. Instead, Romney stayed silent on the marriage question entirely. • In an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network conducted this weekend, Romney declined to say marriage will be a big part of his campaign going forward. That could put him at odds with evangelicals, who are urging the GOP to put marriage front and center. Romney told CBN he’ll talk about marriage — but only to audiences that want to talk about it and ask him to comment. “I’m asked about social issues as well as foreign policy issues and economic issues. And, of course I’ll describe my views on those issues to people that have interest,” he said. “You know, I’ll do my very best to connect with the American people on the issues that they care most about.” Romney gave an example of how this strategy works in his big commencement address to the class of 2012 at Liberty University Saturday. Romney’s biggest applause line before the audience of evangelicals came when he flatly proclaimed, “Marriage is a relationship between one man and one woman.” Romney insisted it wasn’t his idea to talk about the subject, but argued marriage had simply become one of “topics of Democratic debate,” so he weighed in. • Meanwhile, Romney has been quietly been driving even further to the right since Obama’s gay marriage decision. A day after he expressed support for same-sex adoption — a stance that puts him directly at odds with the evangelical community — Romney dialed it back, saying he was actually “simply acknowledg[ing] the fact that gay adoption is legal in all states but one.” Bu again even that stance came only after a direct question. Despite the clear divisions, and the view among some Republicans that Obama made himself vulnerable by getting behind gay marriage, Romney finds weighing in on marriage a lose-lose situation: One that could turn away independents, and distracts from his goal of retaining a laser focus on the economy.

Gov. Susana Martinez (R-NM) Slams Mitt Romney's Immigration Strategy
Mitt Romney got into a heated exchange with a gay man in a diner in New Hampshire on Monday. The man, apparently a Vietnam veteran, was approached by Romney, and things got testy after the man challenged the candidate on his gay marriage stance. That man, Bob Garon, was sitting in a booth eating breakfast with his husband. What ensued was something the Washington Post calls “a rare heated confrontation.” The Post has the exchange: While working the room, Romney spotted a man in a flannel shirt wearing a Vietnam Veteran hat and slid in next to him in a booth. “Vietnam veteran!” Romney greeted Bob Garon. “I have a question for you,” Garon told the former Massachusetts governor. “New Hampshire right now has some legislation kicking around about a repeal for the same-sex marriage. And all I need is a yes or a no. Do you support the repeal?” “I support the repeal of the New Hampshire law,” Romney said. “I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. That’s my view.” Garon, who lives in Epson, N.H., and was eating breakfast with his husband, turned to Romney and said: “If two men get married, apparently a veteran’s spouse would not be entitled to any burial benefits or medical benefits or anything that the serviceman has devoted his time and effort to his country, and you just don’t support equality in terms of same-sex marriage?” “I believe that marriage is a relationship between a man and a woman,” Romney replied, adding, “and we apparently disagree.” At that, a Romney aide called for him to wrap up the conversation: “Governor, we’ve got to get on with Fox News right now.” “Oh, I guess the question was too hot,” Garon told Romney. “No, I gave you the answer,” Romney replied. “You said you had a yes-or-no [question]. I gave you the answer.” “You did,” Garon said. “And I appreciate your answer. And you know, I also learned something, and New Hampshire is right: You have to look a man in the eye to get a good answer. And you know what, governor? Good luck…. You’re going to need it.” “You are right about that,” Romney said, as he stood up from the booth and headed into a side room for his interview. The exchange occurred Chez Vauchon in Manchester. Romney was at the restaurant for a campaign stop with Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas, who officially endorsed Romney on Monday. After the incident, Garon told reporters he was “definitely offended.” “He doesn’t even open the door to a conversation,” Garon added. “It’s just a boom! But I did ask him ‘yes or no,’ so I got what I asked for.”

I'm on the fence. He certainly does look like a younger, taller, sexier Brad Pitt. I just watched him shake his ass on DWTS and I think I'm in love.
I love this post from a blog on Hugh Jackman's Closetedness. Hello? Why doesn’t somebody use the word ‘bisexual’ - clearly that is what he may be or is choosing to live this lifestyle. Lots of bis and gay guys marry women and ADOPT kids (there’s clue for you). There’s always an agent, publicist, manager who find a meal ticket in Hollywood who say “you cant be gay” or “you’ll never get leading man roles” or “Do you want to be the next Rupert Everett?” They make it easy to stay in the closet and live dual lives. It’s been going on for decades. If you rummage through the bins of Hollywood PR, you’ll find quotes from Richard Chamberlain’s publicists saying “he’s not gay” over the years in print. His business manager turned out to be his BF of over 20 years. Ditto for Rock Hudson. So if the rumor starts and it has legs, it’s probably true because there is something supporting the allegation. Randy Travis has fought this battle for years (of course having a wife two decades older than you are and spending time in Santa Fe doesn’t help douse the rumors, Randy). This is nothing new. Verdict on Jackman: Gay or Bi. Sorry Clay Aiken type fans of Hugh Jackman, these rumors just don’t appear out of thin air. When the career runs out or she gets too old or the kids are grown - he’ll be out and about with the BF full-time.

NEWARK, NJ (PIX11)— Police arrested a Nigerian man Monday after he used a dead man's identity to work as a security supervisor at Newark Liberty Airport for twenty years, according to published reports. Bimbo Olumuyiwa Olewoll, 54, was known to co-workers and the TSA as Jerry Thomas, according to Port Authority officials. Police arrested Olewoll at his Elizabeth home Monday morning -- 23 years after he entered the country illegally with a birth certificate, social security card and other identifying him as Thomas, a man murdered in Queens in 1992. The arrest raises disturbing questions about the vetting process for those in charge of the nation's airport security -- especially since Olewoll had clearance to bypass security checkpoints. He reportedly worked for four different security companies at the airport: Lance Security, Gateway Security, and Haynes Security. In 1999, passengers on a Northwest flight flying over Michigan narrowly survived a terrorist attack when the 'Underwear Bomber' Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab -- also from Nigeria -- failed to blow up an explosive device. It is still unclear what led officials to the arrest.

In a Monday evening excerpt from ABC’s The View, scheduled to air Tuesday, Barbara Walters said she quizzed President Obama on pop culture, including Kim Kardashian and Jessica Simpson: “He didn’t know that Kim Kardashian had a brief marriage because she had married a basketball player,” Walters told ABC’s Diane Sawyer. “He did not know that Jessica simpson had had a baby. And he did say that he was sure he was going to win.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Mick Jagger will test his comic chops later this month as host of the "Saturday Night Live" season finale. The Rolling Stones frontman has been a musical guest twice before on the long-running NBC show, and the network said Thursday he will perform musically on the May 19 finale. But he has never been host before, a job that usually requires participation in several comic skits. The Rolling Stones mark their 50th anniversary as a band this year, but have yet to announce any activities to commemorate the occasion. Jagger last year put out a disc as part of a group called SuperHeavy, which also included reggae singer Damian Marley and former Eurythmics founder Dave Stewart.

NEW YORK (WABC) -- There will be traffic tie ups throughout New York City on Monday, especially in Morningside Heights, when President Barack Obama delivers the commencement speech at Barnard College. Joining him on stage will be Evan Wolfson, the founder of the group Freedom to Marry. Gay marriage will likely be a topic of his speech, as it was when Mayor Michael Bloomberg spoke to students at the University of North Carolina on Sunday. "I have no doubt that in your lifetime, liberty's light will allow us to see more clearly the truth of our nation's founding principle," he said. "And allow us to see all people and all couples as full and equal members of the American family." After the commencement, Obama is heading to a $5,000-a-ticket fundraiser in Chelsea, co-hosted by the LGBT Leadership Council and openly gay singer Ricky Martin. This comes just a week after Obama told Good Morning America anchor Robin Roberts that he officially supports same-sex marriage, making him the first sitting president in U.S. history to do so. "I've just concluded that for me personally, it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same-sex couples should be able to get married," Obama said. A new Gallup Poll shows that 60 percent of Americans say Obama's announcement won't sway their vote in the presidential election. On ABC's This Week, Democrat Barney Frank, of Massachusetts, the first openly gay member of Congress, dismissed the idea that Obama would suffer a political backlash for his decision. "I expected the president to be supporting same-sex marriage, because, frankly, of the absence of any good reason against it once you believe that people ought to be treated fairly," he said. Prominent social conservatives are claiming Obama's endorsement could be the fuel Mitt Romney needs to unite the right in November. "You know, he said his views were evolving on marriage," Republican Senator Rand Paul, of Kentucky, said. "Call me cynical, but I wasn't sure that his views on marriage could get any gayer." At the same time as all this controversy, a new "Newsweek" magazine designed to generate attention hits the stands. The cover shows the president with a rainbow-colored halo over his head and the title "the first gay president." Openly gay "Newsweek" contributor Andrew Sullivan writes about why he believes the president's announcement was not a political ploy. "When you step back a little and assess the record of Obama on gay rights, you see, in fact, that this was not an aberration," he wrote. "It was an inevitable culmination of three years of work." The president will also sit down for a taping of "The View," which airs on Channel 7 Tuesday morning at 11 a.m.

Boris Johnson has been told he 'must prioritise making London safer' after it emerged that violent crime has soared in the capital while police numbers have been cut. The mayor has come under fire in the wake of Metropolitan Police Authority figures revealing a 13 per cent rise in robbery and knife crime in the 12 months to October last year. There were ten per cent more rapes in the same period, while burglaries rose nine per cent and murder 7.6 per cent. But with 1,370 fewer full-time officers patrolling the capital last October compared to March 2010, Labour’s mayoral candidate Ken Livingstone claimed Mr Johnson has lost touch with Londoners. He added: ‘Cuts to police are the last thing they want or expect when crime is rising.’ A spokesman for Mr Johnson said the statistics undermine the fact that more officers will be on the streets when he leaves office than when he became mayor.
Interesting. Even more so when you consider that those scandalous nudes that lost her the Miss America crown included some with women. No, I'm not saying she's gay.

RANCHO CUCAMONGA -- A former Westminster police detective accused of kidnapping a woman from Ontario Mills mall and raping her at gunpoint says he was under the influence of the antidepressant Zoloft therefore not responsible for his actions. Anthony Nicholas Orban is accused of abducted a 24-year-old restaurant employee as she left work Saturday at Ontario Mills Mall. The woman was forced to drive to Baseline Road and park in a commercial complex east of Interstate 15 in Fontana, Ontario police Sgt. David McBride. Orban then "forced the victim to disrobe and then brutally raped her at gunpoint," Ontario police said in a statement. The gunman then fled -- leaving his gun behind. The woman summoned Fontana police. During the investigation police discovered the gun was actually a service revolver registered to Orban. Prosecutors say when he realized he lost his gun, Orban called Jeff Thomas Jelinek, 30, an officer for the California Department of Corrections, who drove him back to the Ontario Mills parking lot. In 2011, Jelinek pleaded guilty to being an accessory to a crime and agreed to testify against Orban. Orban, a 5-year-member of Westminster Police Department, is being held at West Valley Detention Center on $1 million bail. Orban has been relieved from duty pending an investigation, a department spokesman said. Jeff Jelenek is a 4-year member of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation assigned to the California Institution for Men in Chino. He is being held on suspicion of carjacking and conspiracy. His bail is $250,000. Detectives are concerned that there may be other victims. They are asking that anyone who has information to contact the Ontario Police Department at 909-395-2908.

LONDON - The girls slumped in wheelchairs look barely conscious, their blond heads lolling above the plastic vomit bags tied like bibs around their necks. It's an hour to midnight on Friday, and the two girls, who look no older than 18, are being wheeled from an ambulance to a clinic set up discreetly in a dark alley in London's Soho entertainment district. They're the first of many to be picked up on this night by the ambulance, known as a "booze bus," and carried to the clinic — both government services dedicated to keeping drunk people out of trouble, and out of emergency rooms. Binge drinking has reached crisis levels in Britain, health experts say, costing the cash-strapped National Health Service 2.7 billion pounds (US$4.4 billion) a year, including the cost of hospital admissions related to booze-fueled violence and longer-term health problems. Unlike all other major health threats, liver disease is on the rise in Britain, increasing by 25 per cent in the last decade and causing a record level of deaths, according to recent government figures. Doctors believe rising obesity is combining with heavy drinking to fuel the spike in liver disease, which is hitting more young people than ever. "Undoubtedly professionals are seeing more (patients) in their late-20s to mid-30s, which would have been unusual 20 years ago," said Chris Day, a liver disease specialist at Newcastle University. On the streets of Soho, most people are too busy drinking to notice passed-out partiers. The streets, lined with pubs and nightclubs, are just beginning to get rowdy: Men chasing each other and shrieking like teenagers; women stumbling and falling over in their too-short skirts and high heels. Soon the sidewalks are littered with empty beer bottles and reeking puddles. Such public displays of extreme drunkenness are inexplicable and shocking to many foreigners living in Britain, even those who hail from heavy drinking cultures. "(At home) it's embarrassing to be drunk. Here it's kind of something you brag about," said Kaisa Toroskainen, a Finnish graduate student in London having a beer with her friends. The headline-grabbing figures about ever-younger liver disease victims may seem to suggest that Britain has quite recently turned into a nation of raging alcoholics. But it's not news that the British like their tipple. This is, after all, a nation known around the world for its ales and its pubs, the default venue for any British social gathering from a quiet date to after-work networking. Despite that, most experts agree that Britons, on the whole, don't drink more than other Europeans — in fact, overall alcohol consumption levels here have come down since the mid 2000s. But that's the average. The problem seems to lie with a minority of hard-core drinkers who tend to down a huge amount in a short time. "The key point is the ways in which we behave when we're drinking — it involves very public displays of reckless drunkenness," said Jamie Bartlett, a researcher at the London-based think-tank Demos who has written about alcohol abuse. "It's not an issue of consumption. It's an issue of behaviour." Anyone who's gone out on a Friday night in any of Britain's larger towns and cities will be familiar with boozed out groups of people shouting, brawling and causing a scene as they spill out of bars and pubs. Commuters aren't immune to the antics — especially on evenings when soccer matches are on. "We are the whites, we are we are the whites!" one clearly intoxicated young man was heard relentlessly singing on a train carriage on a recent night, urging wary strangers to join in. The problem isn't confined to a particular class, and even members of the social elite can be caught in embarrassing drink-fueled trouble. In 2000, the teenage son of then Prime Minister Tony Blair was arrested for being "drunk and incapable" when he was found semiconscious and vomiting on the sidewalk in London's Leicester Square.
Britain bedeviled by binge drinking as health woes, costs rise
So in spite of its issues AfterElton is still the best and most influential website for gay goings on in pop culture, anyone from DL gonna throw your names in for the guys you most want to fuck? My list is going: Matt Bomer Luke Evans Matt Doyle Colton Haynes Cheyenne Jackson Ricky Martin Luke McFarlane Sean Maher Gareth Thomas Charlie Williams Yes, my pick are only giving love to the 'mos but personally as a gay community I think we ought to support them rather than just fawning over straight dudes. Not to mention they are all damn hot so that made it easy. It's nice we have so many openly gay hotties (though Haynes and Evans aren't really out). Anybody else throwing in for their hottest 10 dudes?
Mitt Romney’s campaign is looking to fill its vice presidential slot with a “boring white guy,” according to one Republican who is privy to some details of the campaign’s decision. Politico reports that Romney is trying his hardest to pick “a deliberate anti-Palin,” and apparently that means he cannot pick a person of color or a woman: One Republican official familiar with the campaign’s thinking said it will be designed to produce a pick who is safe and, by design, unexciting – a deliberate anti-Palin. The prized pick, said this official: an “incredibly boring white guy.” Of course, there are plenty of women and people of color who would be perfectly boring — and suitable — choices for Romney’s running mate: Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) is a crowd favorite, Louisiana Bobby Jindal (R) is about as boring as it gets, and there’s plenty of hubbub over Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH). But the objective of boring, white, and male shows that the Romney campaign will prioritize absolute vanilla-ness over the candidate who may be best for the job.

They are well aware that Romney is a name associated with Roma people, and that its alternative derivations, sheep, roads, etc. usually all trace back to Romney Marsh in England, which was inhabited by gypsies and originally called "Romany Marsh." Some have even wondered if there is a link between Roma people and European converts to the Mormon faith. Is there something in Mormonism derived from Traveler traditions?
According to the L.A.-based actress Grace Roubidoux a.k.a Carolyn Hayver, the 'Dancing with the Stars' finalist shows her 'some videos of him having sex with other women on his phone.' May 10, 2012 While "Dancing with the Stars" is getting closer to its finale, one of its finalists William Levy is hit with an unpleasant rumor. Words run rampant that the Latin heartthrob recently hooked up with aspiring actress Grace Roubidoux and tried to seduce her to do a sex tape with him. They reportedly met at Kate Mantilini in Beverly Hills, where she worked as a hostess. "We were talking and he started showing me videos of him having sex with other women on his phone," she told In Touch. "He asked me if I was interested in doing the same. He tried to get me to do a sex tape." According to the LA-based actress who often goes by the stage name Carolyn Hayver, the telenovela star laughed it off when he failed to convince her to do the steamy shoot. Regardless of his kinky plan, she recalled him as a "sensitive" and "affectionate" lover and "the epitome of a Casanova." Levy hasn't responded to Grace's claim nor has his on-and-off girlfriend Elizabeth Gutierrez. However, the mother of his two kids, 6-year-old Christopher and 2-year-old Kailey, once said, "I've always stood beside William, despite persistent rumors." "I then dismissed [the rumors] because I had no reason to doubt the strength of our union I've made the decision to end this relationship for the sake of my children and myself. I'll admit the decision has not been easy one, but must respect myself as a person, woman and mother."

DUESSELDORF, Germany (Reuters) - Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives suffered a crushing defeat on Sunday in an election in Germany's most populous state, a result which could embolden the left opposition to step up attacks on her European austerity policies. The election in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), a western German state with a bigger population than the Netherlands and an economy the size of Turkey, was held 18 months before a national vote in which Merkel will be fighting for a third term. While she remains popular at home because of the strength of the economy and her steady handling of the euro zone debt crisis, the sheer scale of the defeat in NRW leaves her vulnerable at a time when a backlash against her insistence on fiscal discipline is building across Europe. According to first projections, the centre-left Social Democrats (SPD) won 38.9 percent of the vote and will have enough to form a stable majority with the Greens. Merkel's Christian Democrats (CDU) saw their support plunge to just 26.3 percent, down from nearly 35 percent in 2010, and the worst result in the state since World War Two. "This is not a good evening for Merkel," said Gero Neugebauer, a political scientist at Berlin's Free University. "The SPD is strengthened by this election, which will stir things up in Berlin." Elections in NRW have a history of influencing national politics. Seven years ago, a humiliating loss for then-Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder's SPD in the state prompted him to call an early election, which he lost to Merkel. For the past two years, the SPD and the Greens have run a fragile minority government under the leadership of the SPD's Hannelore Kraft, a tram-worker's daughter with a common touch whose victory on Sunday could propel her to national prominence. Sigmar Gabriel, national leader of the SPD, said the convincing win could prompt speculation that Kraft would take on Merkel in the federal vote next year, even though she has vowed to stay in NRW. The SPD is due to pick a challenger to Merkel by the end of the year. "This is a clear signal to Berlin," said Kraft, wiping tears from her eyes in a disco in the state capital Duesseldorf where jubilant SPD supporters held celebrations. HOLLANDE VISIT France's new president, Socialist Francois Hollande, is due to visit Berlin shortly after he is sworn in on Tuesday to press Merkel to shift away from austerity and place more emphasis on growth-oriented measures in Europe. Other big countries like Italy also want Merkel to take a more balanced approach to the debt crisis and an election in Greece last week showed massive public resistance to tough austerity that has pushed unemployment close to 25 percent. A Socialist victory in France, coupled with the NRW result, will give the SPD, which trails Merkel in national opinion polls, new momentum before the federal vote in September 2013. The chancellor needs the support of her centre-left rivals to pass a new "fiscal compact" that is meant to anchor budget discipline across the EU. But the SPD is pressing her to delay a parliamentary vote on the pact, keen for the government to commit to new growth measures beforehand. NRW, which shares a border with Belgium and the Netherlands, is one of Germany's most diverse states. It is home to one third of the country's blue-chip companies but also some of its poorest cities. Coal and steel firms in the Ruhr region where Kraft grew up once fuelled Germany's post-war economic miracle. Now many have been shuttered and unemployment in some areas is double the national average. Many in Merkel's party will blame the result on regional leader Norbert Roettgen, Germany's environment minister, who bungled his campaign early on by refusing to commit to staying in the state in the event of a loss. NRW is Germany's most indebted state and Roettgen ran on a platform of budget consolidation. Kraft advocated a go-slowly approach to debt reduction, emphasizing the need to invest in cities, education and childcare. The result will be seen by some as a double defeat for Merkel.

The last time her family saw Estrella Carrera, she had just gotten married to the father of her youngest child. They started getting worried the next day when the 26-year-old Carrera failed to pick up the child, a 2-year-old boy, and her 9-year-old daughter. On Sunday, a sister called police. Officers arriving at Carrera's apartment in Burbank found her dead of stab wounds in a dry bath tub. She was still wearing her wedding dress. Authorities said they believe the slaying was domestic, but would not elaborate. No one is currently in custody, police said. "We never thought this would happen, she was a strong woman. . .She loved her kids," Carrera's cousin Jaime Lopez said. "Reality still hasn't hit me." Carrera had gotten married to the father of her son Friday but told few people, according to another cousin, Sandy Lopez. Carrera called Sandy Lopez on Friday, sounding happy and inviting her to a party. But she said nothing about a wedding. "She didn't want to tell me she had gotten married," said Sandy Lopez, who did not attend the party. "She didn't tell anybody." Carrera and the man had had an on-and-off relationship for about three years, according to Sandy Lopez. The Tribune is not naming him because he has not been charged with a crime. Sandy Lopez said she did not approve of the relationship or the marriage, but she could not speak for others in the family. "He's just a person who had problems," Sandy Lopez said without elaborating. "She was a beautiful mother, person, sister." Jaime Lopez said Carrera called other relatives to invite them to the party on Friday. She had planned a party on a bus and the group went to several bars. "This just happened out of nowhere," Jaime Lopez said of the wedding. "It was so fast I couldn't even make it to the celebration." Carrera had left her children with her father, but she failed to check in or pick them up. Relatives went to her home and knocked on the door but got no answer on Saturday, Jaime Lopez said. Two cars that belonged to her were not parked outside. The cousins said Carrera was a strong, independent woman who worked as a Spanish language translator for a social welfare agency. She and the 30-year-old man from the Southwest Side of Chicago applied for a marriage license on May 2, a source said. Carrera did not yet have a marriage certificate on file, according to the Cook County clerk's office. The marriage is officially recorded after the person who presides over the wedding signs the marriage license and submits it to the office. Jason Tokarczyk, 24, a neighbor, said Carrera lived in the Burbank apartment for three or four months and he would see her with a young son. He said the woman was very quiet and kept to herself, except for the occasional goodbye or hello. He said he had never seen her in the company of a man and was surprised to hear that she had been recently married. "I figured she was a single mom," said Tokarczyk. "She was quiet as a mouse." About a month ago,, she used his phone to call a locksmith after she was locked out of her home. He last saw her Thursday or Friday and did not see her in a wedding dress. "I was shocked out of my mind to hear something had happened to her," Tokarczyk said. The death is being investigated by the South Suburban Major Crimes Task Force, police said.

Friday May 11, 2012 At its core, it's a case about money, but at each stage John Edwards's character also seems to be on trial. After 14 days of testimony in a Greensboro, N.C., courtroom, prosecutors on Thursday rested a case that both alleged criminal misuse of campaign funds and laid bare the implosion of a once-promising political figure. Even before the defense called its first witness, legal analysts said the prosecution's case was far from a slam-dunk. "They've shown in as many ways as possible that he was a bad guy who did terrible things," says former federal prosecutor Kieran Shanahan, who has followed the trial closely, "but I'm not sure they've shown beyond a reasonable doubt he committed a crime." Edwards's liberty appears to hinge most on the money evidence – the 58-year-old faces up to 30 years in prison if convicted – while his already frayed legacy has been shredded by shocking revelations in court. 1. Lied on Nightline? The prosecution wrapped up the case by using Edwards's own words, to ABC's Bob Woodruff in August 2008, against him. "I have never asked anybody to pay a dime of money. Never been told that any money has been paid. Nothing has been done at my request," Edwards said in the interview. "I knew nothing about this. No one consulted me about it. I had no involvement at all." Those statements contradict testimony from Edwards's speechwriter, who said he told her "he had known all along that Fred Baron had been taking care of things." 2. Elizabeth Edwards's Public Meltdown After a tabloid reported Edwards's affair with Rielle Hunter in 2007, his wife Elizabeth became "very upset" at an airport, collapsing and curling into a ball in the parking lot, a witness testified. Having previously battled breast cancer, she told her husband, "You don't see me anymore" and then tore off her shirt and bra. Three years later, Elizabeth died of the disease at age 61. 3. Edwards Called Mistress a "Crazy Slut" Edwards reacted to news that Hunter was pregnant with his child by calling his mistress a "crazy slut," a former close aide testified. Edwards also said there was only a "three-in-one chance" the baby was his. Later, when practicing for his public statement, Edwards was prepared to say he did in fact love Hunter, but that there relationship was "complicated," according to a witness. 4. Vice Presidential Hopes Even During Scandal Even as Edwards's campaign collapsed amid scandal, he still had visions of political glory, asking a campaign advisor to contact Barack Obama's campaign to say Edwards was available as a vice presidential running mate. He also thought he could be appointed attorney general, with an eye toward becoming a Supreme Court justice one day. A former aide described Edwards as "deluded." 5. Money, Money and More Money Prosecutors ended their case by displaying records of money from a campaign supporter allegedly used to hide Hunter after a tabloid found her secretly living in a house near the Edwards estate. The tab included $80,0000 for private jets, a $20,000-a-month mansion in Santa Barbara, $40,000 in bills for posh hotels and nearly $320,000 in cash, prosecutors alleged.

Small amounts so I doubt it's a big deal. Hope she gave up the coke though. The real moral failing here is that her boyfriend is wearing a scrunchie. I think we all remember what Carrie Bradshaw said about THOSE kind of people. She probably wishes she procreated with Jude.

Anybody else here watch it? Who the hell is writing this dumb shit? I might be able to stick with it if they matured the writing a little and killed off the stupid brother and fat chick characters but I don't think that's gonna happen.

May 13, 2012 by: James Martin (former LDS and strongly against Romney for reasons as listed below) The first thing you need to know about Mitt Romney is that he is a Mormon, aka a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. They call themselves Christians, but they have so thoroughly brainwashed their members that anything the church says…goes. No matter how much Mitt Romney says he would keep his church separate from Government, and how he would never let the church come in and run Government, commands of the church come first and foremost in Mormon minds. If the church wanted Mitt to let them come in (AND THEY WOULD) and help or direct the Government, that is how it would be. Why? Because the church leaders would supposedly have a “vision” that it is God’s will. The church is all about trying to prop up the image of its founder, Joseph Smith. Joseph Smith had a supposed vision (prophecy) that one day a Mormon would become President of the United States, FOR THE EXPRESS PURPOSE, of letting the Mormon Church take over the U.S. Government. You can take it to the bank, that if Romney were President, the church leaders would have another “vision,” that a church takeover must happen. By the way, that prophecy was simple revenge for perceived wrongs done to Joseph Smith by the government. Nevertheless they treat all his prophecies seriously, no matter how ridiculous they are. The only other church I know of that elicits such obedience was The People’s Temple, and we all know what happened there, they drank the Kool-Aid. In other words, the Mormon religion is a cult of brainwashed souls. Mormons duck out the back door of the church as quickly as they come in the front door. The number of people on the church rolls rises all the time, but that’s because even if you join and then decide the church really isn’t for you, they still continue to count you as a member. Unfortunately this trend doesn’t apply to the “old school” Mormons like Romney. They’re totally entrenched into the religion/cult. Some of the freaky Mormon beliefs are: Mormons have a member “stand in” for a dead person and they’re baptized as a member of the church. Mormons have a couple “stand in” for a dead man and woman and marry them into the church, and those count as a “twofer” in church membership rolls. Supposedly they’re “sealed for time and eternity” as husband and wife. Mormons are also supposedly the only ones who will be allowed to have sexual intercourse in Heaven. Mormons believe that God was once a man here on earth and that he attained God-hood due to his “good works” here on earth. He was then elevated to live on the planet Kolob. This is why the Mormons stress “good works” as part of their membership. But here’s the rub! How could God create the earth according to the book of Genesis (which their other teachings do NOT dispute) unless he was ALREADY a God, and then attained God-hood through “good works?” If you truly are a Christian, does this all sound a bit weird to you? And no I’m not kidding you, these things are core beliefs of the Mormon Church. They all are from the false prophecies of Joseph Smith. You see, it’s easy, if you know all the facts, to tell why Mitt wants the White House so badly. One of the tenants of the Mormon Church is to have as many babies as possible. So this goes hand in hand with Romney’s stand against abortion AND birth control. If you’re not popping out a new “Mormon Unit” every 12-18 months, you’re not having enough unprotected sex. It also explains why they stress getting a good education, so they can make enough money to support all those kids with the mother being a “stay at home mom” like his wife Ann. Yet he wants to cut and privatize education. This is one of the Republican strategies to keep the voting public too dumb to see the truth.

Ron Paul said today he'll stop spending money on GOP presidential primaries, but will still try to obtain delegates for the national convention in Tampa. In a statement today, the Texas congressman said he will soon outline his strategy for amassing delegates so that he can impact change within the Republican Party and go to the convention with a "strong message." "Our campaign will continue to work in the state convention process. We will continue to take leadership positions, win delegates, and carry a strong message to the Republican National Convention that liberty is the way of the future," Paul said. "Moving forward, however, we will no longer spend resources campaigning in primaries in states that have not yet voted. Doing so with any hope of success would take many tens of millions of dollars we simply do not have," he said. Mitt Romney has been campaigning as the presumptive GOP standard-bearer, even though he is still short of the 1,144 delegates needed to win the nomination outright. As of today, Romney has 966 delegates and Paul has 104, according to an Associated Press tally.
Ron Paul stops actively campaigning, will head to Tampa to obtain delegates at the GOP convention.

Isn't it odd how the Mormons have been almost invisible so far? No busloads of "Mormons for Mitt" at his rallies, no articles about all the millions of dollars they're giving to his campaign, no earnest young men in cheap suits ringing my doorbell with Romney literature--you would never know they exist. I would have expected a repeat of California and Proposition 8, except on a national scale but so far, nothing. Makes me wonder what the fuckers are up to. You know they're off planning something.

LA HABRA, Calif. (KTLA) -- "Octomom" Nadya Suleman could lose her home, after the bank holding the loan on the house says it's going to sell it. The La Habra home is slated to go up for auction on Monday. Suleman and her 14 children could face eviction if the house is sold. This comes after allegations that Suleman has been neglecting her children, while spending hundreds of dollars on herself for things like Brazilian blowouts. Officers from La Habra Police Department accompanied social workers to Suleman's home last Tuesday after receiving a complaint. TMZ reported that the complaint was filed by Suleman's hairstylist, who had been in the home. The complaint said there was only one working toilet in the house, and the children were forced to use portable training toilets in their bedrooms. The stylist also said the kids appeared to be malnourished and unclean, and Suleman locked them in their rooms while she attends to personal matters. The social workers spent about two hours at the house. They determined the children were not in any danger and should not be removed from the home. The Orange County Department of Family and Children's Services will continue to investigate. On April 5th, Suleman appeared on "The Today Show" and told host Matt Lauer that she is still capable of being a good mom despite her financial difficulties. Suleman is receiving $2,000 a month in food stamps. When Lauer questioned whether her deteriorating financial condition would force child services to break up her family, Suleman responded, "That will never happen. I can guarantee you of that." Suleman gained nationwide attention in 2009 when she gave birth to octuplets. She garnered the name "Octomom" and became a symbol of the excesses of assisted reproduction.

Someone actually compiled it. Holy mackeral! I just came across this list on IMDb. What a blast from the past. Abbie Dalton and Abe Vigoda top the list. You can sort by height (tallest: Clint Walker at 6'6") and age (Lillian Gish, Ruth Gordon, Helen Hayes and Natalie Schafer are the oldest). The list is incredible. Anybody who was somebody passed through that show. I even saw names I wouldn't expect (Corey Feldman).

... the final chapter of the CIA’s history of Bay of Pigs won’t be declassified. A federal judge has ruled that the last volume in a CIA history of the Bay of Pigs invasion that was written more than 30 years ago and 51 years after the ill-fated Cuban mission should remain secret. In an opinion released Thursday, U.S. District Court Judge Gladys Kessler said Volume V in the CIA’s Official History of the Bay of Pigs was a draft that was “rejected for inclusion in the final publication” and was exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. The Washington-based National Security Archive, a research institute and library, filed suit last year asking for declassification of all five volumes in the set after its previous FOIA requests were unsuccessful. Volumes I, II, and IV were released last April. Volume III had actually been declassified in 1998 but researchers remained unaware of the fact until a Villanova university professor found it stashed in a box at the National Archives Kennedy Assassination Records Collection in 2005. The National Security Archive called Kessler’s decision “a regrettable blow to the right-to-know.” Volume V is a rebuttal by CIA historian Jack Pfeiffer, who died in 1997, of a report by the intelligence agency’s inspector general that found the CIA was primarily responsible for the failure of the invasion. Who bears responsibility for the failure of the April 14-19, 1961, mission designed to topple the Castro regime has long been debated. The CIA inspector general’s report concluded faulty intelligence, poor planning, inadequate staffing and failure to inform President John F. Kennedy there was little chance the mission would be successful were to blame. But Pfeiffer put the blame on the Kennedy White House. The judge agreed with the CIA assertion that release of Volume V would have a chilling effect on current CIA historians who might be reluctant to try out “innovative, unorthodox or unpopular interpretations in a draft manuscript” if they thought it would be made public. The CIA successfully showed release of Volume V “would harm the deliberative process,” making it exempt from disclosure under FOIA, Kessler said in her opinion. “The idea that the CIA can advance the cause of accurate historical analysis by hiding history from the peer review of the public is preposterous,” said Peter Kornbluh, director of the National Security Archive’s Cuba Documentation Project. The National Security Archive had argued that the passage of time should serve as a basis for disclosure of Volume V, but Kessler said the CIA had shown that the passage of time hasn’t “affected the rationale for invoking” the FOIA exemption. Kornbluh noted an executive order by President Barack Obama that “no information shall remain classified indefinitely” and said the NSA would press the administration to force the CIA to adhere to the order.
God, I hope so. I''ve always had a male stripper "thing." Something about a hot guy stripping fully nude for a group of other guys in public-guys who are getting all sweaty and breathing shallow and getting obvious hard-ons-makes my precum drip!!!\ \ I see in other countries-particularly in South America and Europe, that fully nude male strippers WITH BONERS (!!) is a common sight.\ \ I love my internet porn and relationships are great but sometimes I just want to see a hot body IN THE FLESH gyrating just for me with no strings attached. Is that so wrong? Give me strip clubs across America with boners!!
Do we really have to deal with the drip,drip,drip here ? Can't everyone who ever had sex with John, just file their lawsuits, give their interviews, and confess now, so we can get this all overwith.

'Sherlock' star Benedict Cumberbach appreciates your dirty fan fiction and Tumblr art By Carina Adly MacKenzie May 2, 2012 9:14 PM ET Since the dawn of time -- or at least, of television -- where you find a cult fan following, you're pretty much guaranteed to find surprisingly smutty fan fiction. These days, fan fiction is no dirty secret -- authors like E.L. James and Cassandra Clare got their start as fanfic writers online, and they're now enjoying the spoils of multimillion dollar franchises. The actors and writers behind the source material have varied reactions to the fan fiction craze, but one actor who won't be petitioning to shut down your Tumblr porn is "Sherlock" star Benedict Cumberbach. With "Sherlock's" Season 2 about to begin on PBS, MTV sat down with the actor to ask him about the part of the fandom that enjoys portraying his character and Martin Freeman's in a sexual relationship. "I am startlingly aware of it," Cumberbatch says coyly. "I don't go seeking it, but Martin Freeman, who was an absolute Luddite on the first series, suddenly came back from New Zealand having done a little radio short drama called 'The Hobbit,' he came back and he had this beautiful Mac [computer] with him and said 'Hey, look at this Tumblr.' And I said, 'What? Tumblr? What?' He knows more about it than I do and he was showing me some of them. Some of it is really racy, un-viewable even on MTV. It's cool." He particularly enjoys your imaginative descriptions of his body parts, fanfic writers. "I suppose my bodily proportions are quite flattering. I'm ripped, doing something I wouldn't normally do with my body, or having done to it, involving Watson," he says. "So that's as far as I'll hit about that one, but it's all there on the Web if you want to find it. I was amazed at the level of artistry. People have spent hours doing it."

New Yorker critic, late great Pauline Kael, was always good at championing actors such as Nancy Allen and Jessica Lange (when the rest of the world was laughing at her in "King Kong"). Always went against the grain, saw promise (and then didn't like mainstream successes like Streep, found her robotic, not flesh and blood). Who is yours? The actor or actress you love that few in the world seem to get? But you don't care, you love them anyway. Mine is another one Pauline Kael liked early: Melanie Griffith. I think she was a gifted comedienne and loved how daring she was in movies like "Body Double". Loved her then, loved her older in "Cecil B", now waiting for the next phase so I can still love her.

Why couldn't Albert find a proper gold-digger, one who wouldn't let her feelings interfere with a lucrative arrangement? "Scandal is swirling around the house of Grimaldi again after Voici magazine in France reported this week that she was coaxed back from Nice for the wedding after she struck a deal that if she provides Albert with an heir, she can get divorced and receive a generous financial settlement. "The 34-year-old, whose post-nuptial kiss with Albert was astonishingly awkward, is now 'depressed' at her failure to get pregnant, the magazine added."
I have heard three versions: care-uh-mel car-uh-mel car-mel or car-mull I am sure there are more. When I would watch the Twix and Snickers commercials in the 80s and 90s, they would say the first one, care-uh-mel. Now, when I go to Starbucks, I always hear the second pronunciation for a caramel macchiato. Maybe there is an Italian way to say it? Anyway, I am sure it is a regional thing, and Webster's dictionary accepts all 3 pronunciations, but it still drives me crazy to hear the other pronunciations.

We hear about successful lawsuits occasionally and I'm sure that we don't even know how many cases get settled long before court even begins to loom. But what about malpractice that by luck has no negative outcomes for patients or is rectified by other staff before it becomes an issue for the patient? I was reading the thread about Reese Witherspoon's father who is an otolaryntologist (sp? ear, nose and throat). He apparently has been showing signs of dementia for a while and has a history of alcohol abuse and impulsive behavior. He is going to be assigned a conservator by the court probably. OK, fine. But a mere two months ago, he performed at least one surgery (someone brought it up in a newspaper comments section that he'd operated on her son). Ack! About 30 years ago an anesthesiologist in my hometown orally copulated female patients while they were under in the operating room with other hospital staff. It went on for years before someone blew the whistle. Then, you always hear stories about hung over surgeons or addict physicians. These are pretty egregious examples, but went undetected or were covered up for far too long. It makes me wonder how often stuff like this or unchecked incompetence actually happens. DL has lots of posters from medical fields. I'm curious what your experience is as observers (not perpetrators!) of this.
