"Andre was friends with openly gay Pat Patterson. Big Show came out with other WWE Superstars and did a photo shoot supporting marriage equality. Has any one met them in person? In the locker room? Any stories? How about the late great Sandy Allen? Any stories on her? She was a friend of Michael Jackson, spent lots of time at the San Francisco Guinness Book Of World Records Museum, and told kids it was okay to be different during the last 15 years of her life.

Every day I tell myself I'm going to do better, and I'm into a fattening dinner and ice cream by 8 pm. It's terrible. I do well for weeks at a time, then slack off, gain back a few pounds and start over. It NEVER ends. And I have a lot of fat to get rid of. How do some people have so much more willpower than others? Not just to eat little/well, but to stay fit and active? I want to be one of them.

Cheryl Prudham, 32, who claims around £38,000 a year in benefits, says she would rather live as a single mother than continue living with her husband Robert A mother dubbed the "baby-machine" has claimed her cheating husband has walked out on her as she expects her 12th child. Cheryl Prudham, 32, claims around £38,000 a year in child allowances, tax credits and housing benefit with her 30-year-old husband Robert. But she says she would rather live as a single mother than continue living with him. She told the Sunday People: "He’s been unfaithful more than ten times. Things went wrong quite early on. Two weeks before we got married he was cheating. "At that time I was eight months pregnant with our first son, Leon, and I felt I had no choice but to get on with it. It was a mistake but I was naive and just hoped it was a one-off. "I was desperate to have a stable family life and give the kids a home with a mum and a dad – something I’d never had but always craved." Mrs Prudham also revealed on Facebook the sex of her baby, saying: "I'm having a GIRL!!" which was greeted with congratulations. She then added her eighth girl will have a double-barrelled name, saying: "I want a double barrel name, first name needs to begin with L like my Lexi-Rose, Lacey-May and Lainey-girl." She later said that due to the amount of children she already has, she has "run out of ideas" for names. Just hours after posting the news, she shared a scan of the baby with the caption "my princess". Finally, she decided against the child's name beginning with "L" and revealed she will call the baby "Tillie-Grace".

US: Republican Ben Carson ‘jokes’ about poisoning same-sex wedding cakes 25th January 2015, 1:33 PM, Nick Duffy Republican pundit Ben Carson has made a ‘joke’ about putting poison in the wedding cakes of same-sex couples. The notoriously homophobic Republican, who is considering running for President in 2016, has previously compared gay people to paedophiles, and claimed that same-sex marriage is a “plot” conceived by the New World Order to impose communism. However, Mr Carson took his objectionable comments one step further during a Q&A session, according to the Hill, while commenting on lawsuits against bakeries that refused to bake same-sex wedding cakes. He said: “What I have a problem with is when people try to force people to act against their beliefs because they say ‘they’re discriminating against me.’ “So they can go right down the street and buy a cake, but no, let’s bring a suit against this person because I want them to make my cake even though they don’t believe in it… Which is really not all that smart because they might put poison in that cake.” The Hill notes his comments were met by “chuckles from some of his staff and dead silence from the journalists in the room”. He has previously been forced to apologise for comparing homosexuality to bestiality and paedophilia. He said in 2013: “My thoughts are that marriage is between a man and a woman. It’s a well-established, fundamental pillar of society and no group, be they gays, be they [paedophile support group] [...], be they people who believe in bestiality–it doesn’t matter what they are–they don’t get to change the definition.”

So recommendations for songs (including particular version if there are remixes), albums, compilations, EPs. There's a lot of music out there. Would probably be better to pick and choose among songs and not buy whole albums. Yet, if there's an album or compilation that you think is worth buying the whole thing, let me know. Thanks, bitches.

Don’t have Amazon Prime? The ecommerce colossus will let you binge-watch all 10 episodes of “Transparent,” the Golden Globe-winning series starring Jeffrey Tambor, for one day only. On Saturday, Jan. 24, the series will be free to all visitors via the Amazon Prime Instant Video service, which normally requires a $99-per-year subscription to the company’s Prime free-shipping program. Amazon says the promo is a “celebration” of the Globes wins, but it’s really a stunt to drive people to sign up for the Prime service. Also on Saturday, the company will offer Amazon Prime for $72 annually, a 27% discount from the regular price. “Transparent,” from indie filmmaker Jill Soloway, won the Golden Globe for best TV musical or comedy series and Tambor won for best actor in the category. The dramedy tells the story of an L.A. family, the Pfeffermans, whose father, played by Tambor, comes out as transgendered to their adult children. Soloway, an alum of HBO’s “Six Feet Under” and winner of best director at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, is showrunner and director. Following the Golden Globes wins, according to Amazon, the average number of Prime users watching “Transparent” grew more than 250%. But, as usual, Amazon is not released actual viewing figures. “Transparent” is currently listed as the No. 1 most popular show on Prime Instant Video. Amazon has greenlit a second season of “Transparent,” but has not announced a premiere date. “We’re incredibly proud of everyone involved in the making of ‘Transparent’ — the team took a risk and it paid off,” Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO of Amazon.com, said in a statement. “Big kudos and congrats to Jill, Jeffrey, and all the cast and crew.”

My dearest, bestest ever gay friend- no sex, just pure love- called me to tell me his horrifying and humiliating story. To understand, you must picture an averagely handsome, tall but not athletic, slightly disheveled borderline aspie (his term) with zero rhythm. His dad lives a few houses down the street. Mid 60s, super guy, very pro-gay, very not hip. He is cleaning his house today and singing Sia's "Chandelier" and doing the interpretative dance from the video when he notices his dad is standing at his sliding glass door watching him. He turned around for a second, and then his dad was gone. He wants me to help him explain exactly what was happening and his strange behavior. I started laughing and he said "You're going to go post that on that damn website, aren't you" and hung up. I'm still laughing.

We now have SSA, Men who have sex with Men, Guys into Dudes, even Str8 for Str8. I believe this is because few men attracted to men want anything to do with the queens and nellies. I recently went to the wedding of two men in NY. The officiator opened with 'This is not a gay wedding, the men marrying today find it offensive when they are called gay. They are quite simply two men who love each other and have decided to create a life together. They would appreciate it if you don't take the G word to the reception." I know many of you on DL LOVE gay, and are gay. I now think the majority of men who have sex with men do not identify as gay and never will.
What is the most important information I should know about TRUVADA? TRUVADA can cause serious side effects: Too much lactic acid in your blood (lactic acidosis), which is a serious medical emergency. Symptoms of lactic acidosis include weakness or being more tired than usual, unusual muscle pain, being short of breath or fast breathing, nausea, vomiting, stomach-area pain, cold or blue hands and feet, feeling dizzy or lightheaded, and/or fast or abnormal heartbeats. Serious liver problems. Your liver may become large and tender, and you may develop fat in your liver. Symptoms of liver problems include your skin or the white part of your eyes turns yellow, dark “tea-colored” urine, light-colored stools, loss of appetite for several days or longer, nausea, and/or stomach-area pain. You may be more likely to get lactic acidosis or serious liver problems if you are female, very overweight (obese), or have been taking TRUVADA for a long time. In some cases, these serious conditions have led to death. Call your healthcare provider right away if you have any symptoms of these conditions. Worsening of hepatitis B (HBV) infection. If you also have HBV and take TRUVADA, your hepatitis may become worse if you stop taking TRUVADA. Do not stop taking TRUVADA without first talking to your healthcare provider. If your healthcare provider tells you to stop taking TRUVADA, they will need to watch you closely for several months to monitor your health. TRUVADA is not approved for the treatment of HBV. If your healthcare provider has prescribed TRUVADA to help reduce the risk of getting HIV-1 infection, you should also know: You must be HIV-negative before you start taking TRUVADA to reduce the risk of getting HIV-1. You must get tested to make sure that you do not already have HIV-1 infection. Do not take TRUVADA to reduce the risk of getting HIV-1 unless you are confirmed to be HIV-negative. Many HIV-1 tests can miss HIV-1 infection in a person who has recently become infected. If you have flu-like symptoms, you could have recently become infected with HIV-1. Tell your healthcare provider if you had a flu-like illness within the last month before starting TRUVADA or at any time while taking TRUVADA. Symptoms of new HIV-1 infection include tiredness, fever, joint or muscle aches, headache, sore throat, vomiting, diarrhea, rash, night sweats, and/or enlarged lymph nodes in the neck or groin. Just taking TRUVADA may not keep you from getting HIV-1. You must continue using safer sex practices while you are taking TRUVADA to reduce your risk of getting HIV-1. To further reduce your risk of getting HIV-1: Get tested for other sexually transmitted infections. Other infections make it easier for HIV-1 to infect you. Get information and support to help reduce risky sexual behavior. Have fewer sex partners. Do not miss any doses of TRUVADA. Missing doses may increase your risk of getting HIV-1 infection. You must stay HIV-negative to keep taking TRUVADA to reduce your risk of getting HIV-1: Know your HIV-1 status and the HIV-1 status of your partners. Get tested for HIV-1 at least every 3 months or when your healthcare provider tells you. If you think you were exposed to HIV-1, tell your healthcare provider right away. If you do become HIV-1 positive, you need more medicine than TRUVADA alone to treat HIV-1. TRUVADA itself is not a complete treatment for HIV-1. If you have HIV-1 and take only TRUVADA, your HIV-1 may become harder to treat.

I never understood why One Direction's management never makes Zayn Malik the lead singer. I mean he clearly has the best voice out of the group, he's a little skinny but still attractive. And he's the only one of the group that can hit those high falsetto note's effortlessly. But in their new video "Steal My Girl" (below) when Zayn's singing part comes on towards the end, they switch camera's to him and Harry Styles when it's clearly Zayn's voice throughout doing that high note NOT Harry. Is it because Zayn is a muslim that 1D's management downplay his role in the group? I'm just curious. What do you think DL?

OMG I just came from a Sundance Film Festival screening of this new indie. Marsden plays a bisexual who full-on seduces Black. Sex scene includes a shirtless makeout session between the two men followed by Marsden pounding Black's fat-ass bent over a bed. It has funny moments; it's interesting. But I doubt it will play well with straights or queers because it becomes a melodrama in awkward and unlikely territory. Sundance billed it as a buddy comedy and that's what you'd expect from the cast. But no, it's mostly uncomfortable, stunt storytelling.

The British nurse who almost died after contracting Ebola while volunteering in Sierra Leone has been discharged from hospital after making a full recovery reports The Guardian. Pauline Cafferkey said she was “happy to be alive” as she thanked staff at the Royal Free Hospital in London who she said saved her life. Doctors had described her condition as “critical” during the three weeks she received treatment for the deadly virus and her family and friends were preparing for the worst. Cafferkey admited that then she had felt like “giving up”, but was now looking forward to returning to “normal life” . For a couple of weeks last year this place was ebola, ebola, ebola. Seems like it was another SARS type scare.

Gay-for-pay porn star Johnny Rapid has gone from asking Justin Bieber to have sex with him for $2 million to facing jail time for beating his girlfriend. A newly released police report reveals the 22-year-old Men.com performer, whose real name is Hylan Taylor, is being charged with battery for allegedly choking, pushing and hitting his girlfriend last year. In the report, it alleges the girlfriend refused to arrange a threesome between the couple and a 14-year-old girl on 9 October. A Rockdale County, Georgia officer writes the couple encountered a young Asian female at a bowling alley who told Taylor's girlfriend she was 18. As the conversation went on, the girl then told the couple she was actually 14. The report alleges Taylor's girlfriend refused to have a threesome with the teen, but apparently the porn star told her to finish 'hooking things up'. After refusing and walking out of the bowling alley, Taylor allegedly choked her and pushed her to the ground. He allegedly continued to hit her in the car until they got home. The deputy noted seeing red marks on the victim's neck and lips, she appeared to have redness above both eyes and blood on her right ear lobe - looking like a ring had been torn out. Taylor was arrested 15 December and transferred to Rockdale County Jail. He was released the following day on $2,500 bond. Prior to the officer writing the report, the girlfriend contacted him to 'attempt to get me to forget the whole thing, that she's lying, that she made the whole thing up.' 'I then advised her that no matter what she said I was not going to change what was going to happen; that the report would be filed in charges in reference to Battery (FV) would be brought against her boyfriend,' the officer writes. While no court date has been set, and the girlfriend is unwilling to press charges, it appears police are intending to go ahead with the case. Taylor, who has filmed numerous same-sex scenes as a top and bottom as Johnny Rapid, describes himself as Men.com's number one performer. He was featured in a documentary series, I'm A Porn Star, where he talked about being gay-for-pay. 'I’m really dominant over females. I fuck the shit out of them,' he said. 'Dominate them. I choke them… I do my porn, and then I go home to my girlfriend. I have sex with her until she bleeds.' Taylor or Men.com have yet to make a public statement about the arrest.

Micke Ekvall finished the race in 21st place. In a post-race interview, a reporter asked him, "Did you ever consider stopping to clean off?" "No, I'd lose time," he explained, "If you quit once, it's easy to do it again and again and again. It becomes a habit." "Despite the enormous problems with stomach cramps that lasted between two and 12 kilometers, Micke completed his goal," Swedish site Jesper.nu reported, "He did fine with [a time of] 1:09:43 and came in a creditable 21st. This is despite the misery! Imagine what he could accomplish without a bad stomach." The poop man, now 25 years old, has accomplished quite a bit since then. He ran the same race the following year, placing 9th. He went on to set a Swedish national record at the Copenhagen half-marathon in 2014, and represented Sweden at the European Athletic Championships. Ekvall's story is truly an inspirational one: Never quit. If you can live down running around in public with your own feces streaming off your bare legs, you can live down practically anything. Either that or never, ever, leave the house, because anything you do could go horribly wrong and everyone is looking at you. Whatever. It's up to each of us to receive the poop man's wisdom in our own way.

House Speaker John Boehner's invitation of Israe1i Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to speak before Congress on Iran is an unprecedented rebuke of President Barack Obama as he and Congress are preparing for a battle over Iran sanctions, experts told TPM. The move came the day after Obama threatened in his State of the Union address to veto legislation putting new sanctions on Iran. He warned that new sanctions by Congress would disrupt the negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program. Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) acknowledged the week before that ending negotiations "is very much an intended consequence" of a new sanctions bill that has been put forward with some Democratic support. Although the US and Israe1 maintain a "special relationship," the discord between the Obama administration and Netanyahu's government has been well documented. Netanyahu welcomed 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney in a visit Israe1 in the midst of the campaign. And anonymous Obama administration officials have been quoted calling the Israe1i prime minster "a chickenshit." But even with that context, experts on American-Israe1i relations expressed shock that Boehner had invited Netanyahu to address Congress on Iran next month. One described it as an effort to "humiliate" and "embarrass" Obama as the two sides dig in over Iran. The invitation from the Ohio Republican positions Congress, rather than the White House, as Israe1's ally. "It's unprecedented. It's hitting below the belt. It's taking partisanship to a whole new level," Guy Ziv, a professor at American University who has studied U.S.-Israeli relations, told TPM. "It is a way for them to embarrass and humiliate the Obama administration." It does track, though, with a broader trend of Israe1 becoming an area of partisan divide in a way that it hasn't always been. "My reaction was that 'Wow, Boehner really wanted to bigfoot President Obama's State of the Union address," Matt Duss, president of the Foundation for Middle East Peace, which advocates for a two-state solution, told TPM. "It's part of a pattern we've seen, taking the Israe1 issue and using it as a partisan wedge." Foreign leaders, including Netanyahu, have addressed joint sessions of Congress before. But the transparently political element of having Netanyahu, who has been a forceful critic at times of the international negotiations with Iran, speak on this specific topic and at this particular time makes the invitation from Boehner distinct from those past examples. "It has a symbolic meaning that is not very positive in the long run," Yoram Peri, who served as senior adviser to former Israe1i Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and is now a professor at the University of Maryland, told TPM, "because we know there is a major difference of opinion between the House and the president." Netanyahu's forays into American politics have a long history; he would sometimes align himself with the Newt Gingrich-led Republican Congress in the 1990s. But the Boehner invite still struck those familiar with the issue as wholly different given its political symbolism. The White House even called it a breach of protocol, according to the Associated Press. "It's moving behind-closed-doors politics into the public arena," Peri said. Or as Ziv put it: "They've taken it to a whole different level." Others, however, argued that while there was certainly a political element to Wednesday's theatrics, it is important to remember that Republicans and the Israe1i government do have substantive policy differences with Obama on the Iranian question -- even if personal acrimony might be adding to these public disputes. "This seems to have become very public and very personal. That kind of nastiness adds an edge to it," Jonathan Rynhold, a politics professor at Bar-Ilan University near Tel Aviv, told TPM. "But it also shouldn't be dismissed as politically maneuvering. There's a very, very serious foreign policy issue at stake. There's a really genuine disagreement." Netanyahu's visit would also come about a month before Israe1i's March 17 elections, and he has received substantial contributions from Americans, as BuzzFeed reported earlier this month. But as TPM's Josh Marshall noted, there is some evidence that his perch as prime minster might be precarious as voters head to the polls. Congress' embrace of Netanyahu therefore allows him to assume the role of international statesman and play to some internal Israe1i skepticism about the Obama administration's stance toward Iran, the Palestinian peace process and other Middle East issues. "The one thing that the opposition can play is, 'Look, you're screwing up relations with the United States.' But if Netanyahu's invited, then that's moot," Rynhold said. "It's a good time, it's a good issue. It works politically because it's founded on what these people actually think." Ziv even suggested that Republicans were rewarding Netanyahu for his tacit support of Romney in 2012. It will undoubtedly play well with a substantial part of the Israe1i electorate. "This will really demonstrate that the other candidates are not as his level," Ziv said. "Who else has close friends in Congress? This shows gravitas."

The poor guy is trying to help him out and gets manhandled by Blake. At least Blake thinks it's funny. I'm not too sure about the guy.

Since that discredited Rolling Stone article all I have been hearing about is the numerous sexual assaults against mainly middle class or upper middle class white females. The assaults are often tainted with alcohol and late nights alone with young, horny boys who won't take no for an answer. The girls then complain that college and/ or the local police are not as moved by the assault as one would hope in this post-feminist age. In the words of that great man, Col. Potter" horse hockey"! I am so sick of well off girls thinking that college life is going to be a cotillion. That the rules of gentlemen over ride the beer buzz. And that low and behold a guy just wants to get laid at 3 in the morning. Where are the partenal teachings about sex and drinking. Why does a boy have a higher expectation of duty than a drunken, foolish girl. And after all the sexual openness of this generation why are we allowing the soft bigotry of low expectations to give a girl- a woman -an out simply because she regrets having sex, and to hide that shameby calling it "rape". That doesn't mean that men and women aren't really subjected to sexual assaults on campuses around the country. But why when well off, educated females-mainly white- attend college they suddenly act like Melanie Wilkes when they are pressed into sex? They ingested the drug and drink that brought them that boy. Boys between 18 and 21 are usually not the romantic types. And why think that your brain being cloudy isn't equal to his. This is real a class issue colored in eggshell white. These young girls not are prepared for freedom or adult respondsilbity. Their parents have coddled them in so many ways they feel that they are entitled to be treated like a lady even if they are acting like a flower girl. My sympathy is low. Privilege does grant you a mulligan in sexual awareness. And being a victim only lowers my regard that you can handle yourself in the real world.

Get ready Jeb and Mitt ... Sarah Palin may be joining the race for the presidency in 2016. The former Alaska governor told The Washington Post in an interview Friday that she is "seriously interested" in running for the White House. "I'm really interested in the opportunity to serve at some point," she added during the interview. Palin's profile skyrocketed in 2008 when then-presidential candidate John McCain tapped the little known governor of Alaska to be his running mate on the ultimately unsuccessful ticket. She resigned from the governor's office in the summer of 2009 after having served a little more than half of the full term. Since they she has remained an active member of Republican and Tea Party politics, lending her support to other candidates running races across the country and seeing many win. She has also maintained a popular political action committee and social media presence, and even appeared in a reality television show that first aired in November 2010. She briefly flirted with running for president in 2012, but ultimately decided not to join the race. Palin made her most recent comments about her 2016 intentions during a visit to Des Moines where she joined the Iowa Freedom Summit. Presidential hopefuls consistently focus early efforts on winning over Iowa voters long before the electoral primary and caucus season begins, since it holds the country's first major electoral event of the nominating process for both Republicans and Democrats.

“As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly unchanged. And it is in such twilight that we all must be most aware of change in the air – however slight – lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness.” Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas No matter what the politicians say about how great America is and how we, as a people, will always triumph, the fact is that the nation seems to be imploding. Despite the dire state of our nation, however, you can rest assured that none of the problems that continue to plague our lives and undermine our freedoms will be addressed by our so-called elected representatives in any credible, helpful way, and certainly not during a State of the Union address. Consider the following facts: Our government is massively in debt.Currently, the national debt is somewhere in the vicinity of $18 trillion. More than a third of our debt is owned by foreign countries, namely China and Japan. Our education system is abysmal. Despite the fact that we spend more than most of the world on education ($115,000 per student), we rank 36th in the world when it comes to math, reading and science, far below most of our Asian counterparts. Even so, we continue to insist on standardized programs such as Common Core, which teach students to be test-takers rather than thinkers. Our homes provide little protection against government intrusions. Police agencies, already empowered to crash through your door if they suspect you’re up to no good, now have radars that allow them to “see” through the walls of your home. Our prisons, housing the largest number of inmates in the world and still growing, have become money-making enterprises for private corporations that rely on the inmates for cheap labor. We are no longer a representative republic. The U.S. has become a corporate oligarchy. As a recent survey indicates, our elected officials, especially those in the nation’s capital, represent the interests of the rich and powerful rather than the average citizen. We’ve got the most expensive, least effective health care system in the world compared to other western, industrialized nations. The air pollution levels are dangerously high for almost half of the U.S. population, putting Americans at greater risk of premature death, aggravated asthma, difficulty breathing and future cardiovascular problems. Despite outlandish amounts of money being spent on the nation’s “infrastructure,” there are more than 63,000 bridges—one out of every 10 bridges in the country—in urgent need of repair. Some of these bridges are used 250 million times a day by trucks, school buses, passenger cars and other vehicles. Americans know little to nothing about their rights or how the government is supposed to operate. This includes educators and politicians. For example, 27 percent of elected officials cannot name even one right or freedom guaranteed by the First Amendment, while 54 percent do not know the Constitution gives Congress the power to declare war. Nearly one out of every three American children live in poverty, ranking us among the worst in the developed world. Patrolled by police, our schools have become little more than quasi-prisons in which kids as young as age 4 are being handcuffed for “acting up,” subjected to body searches and lockdowns, and suspended for childish behavior. We’re no longer innocent until proven guilty. In our present surveillance state, that burden of proof has now been shifted so that we are all suspects to be spied on, searched, scanned, frisked, monitored, tracked and treated as if we’re potentially guilty of some wrongdoing or other. Parents, no longer viewed as having an inherent right to raise their children as they see fit, are increasingly being arrested for letting their kids walk to the playground alone, or play outside alone. Similarly, parents who challenge a doctor’s finding or request a second opinion regarding their children’s health care needs are being charged with medical child abuse and, in a growing number of cases, losing custody of their children to the government. Private property means little at a time when SWAT teams and other government agents can invade your home, break down your doors, kill your dog, wound or kill you, damage your furnishings and terrorize your family. Likewise, if government officials can fine and arrest you for growing vegetables in your front yard, praying with friends in your living room, installing solar panels on your roof, and raising chickens in your backyard, you’re no longer the owner of your property. Court rulings undermining the Fourth Amendment and justifying invasive strip searches have left us powerless against police empowered to forcefully draw our blood, forcibly take our DNA, strip search us, and probe us intimately. Accounts are on the rise of individuals—men and women alike—being subjected to what is essentially government-sanctioned rape by police in the course of “routine” traffic stops. Americans can no longer rely on the courts to mete out justice. The courts were established to intervene and protect the people against the government and its agents when they overstep their bounds. Yet the courts increasingly march in lockstep with the police state, while concerned themselves primarily with advancing the government’s agenda, no matter how unjust or illegal. Americans have no protection against police abuse. It is no longer unusual to hear about incidents in which police shoot unarmed individuals first and ask questions later. What is increasingly common, however, is the news that the officers involved in these incidents get off with little more than a slap on the hands. If there is any absolute maxim by which the federal government seems to operate, it is that the American taxpayer always gets ripped off. This is true, whether you’re talking about taxpayers being forced to fund high-priced weaponrythat will be used against us, endless warsthat do little for our safety or our freedoms, or bloated government agencies such as the National Security Agency with its secret budgets, covert agendas and clandestine activities. Rubbing salt in the wound, even monetary awards in lawsuits against government officials who are found guilty of wrongdoing are paid by the taxpayer. Americans are powerless in the face of militarized police. In early America, government agents were not permitted to enter one’s home without permission or in a deceitful manner. And citizens could resist arrest when a police officer tried to restrain them without proper justification or a warrant. Daring to dispute a warrant with a police official today who is armed with high-tech military weapons would be nothing short of suicidal. Moreover, as police forces across the country continue to be transformed into extensions of the military, Americans are finding their once-peaceful communities transformed into military outposts, complete with tanks, weaponry, and other equipment designed for the battlefield. Now these are not problems that you can just throw money at, as most politicians are inclined to do. As I point out in my book A Government of Wolves: The Emerging American Police State, these are problems that will continue to plague our nation unless and until Americans wake up to the fact that we’re the only ones who can change things. For starters, we’ll need to actually pay attention to what’s going on around us, and I don’t mean by turning on the TV news, which is little more than government propaganda. Pay attention to what your local city councils are enacting. Pay attention to what your school officials are teaching and not teaching. Pay attention to whom your elected officials are allowing to wine and dine them. Most of all, stop acting like it really matters whether you vote for a Republican or Democrat, because it doesn’t, and start acting like citizens who expect the government to work for them, rather than the other way around. While that bloated beast called the federal government may not listen to you, you can have a great impact on your local governing bodies. This will mean gathering together with your friends and neighbors and, for example, forcing your local city council to start opposing state and federal programs that are ripping you off. And if need be, your local city council can refuse to abide by the dictates that continue to flow from Washington, DC. All of the signs point to something nasty up ahead. The time to act is now.
To this day I love this show. I watched it all the way through to the end. One of my favorite story lines was the Kelly becomes a cokehead one. I also really loved Brandon''s ex who tried to blow up a float. Any other 90210 fans on DL? What are your favorite episodes or characters?
Here's your chance to tell everyone about the guy you're smitten with. Mine is the cute 20 something that works at the gas station I go to. Dark curly hair, bright blue eyes and nice toned body under his red shirt. Gorgeous!
Alright ladies, place your bets. Will Zsa-Zsa buy the farm or will we find out that she died years ago?

Props to finding someone in Hollywood whose face is tighter than her own.
So I've gone back and am starting to watch the entire series. A few questions-comments: Did Hyacinth ever actually give a candlelight supper on camera during the show's run? Are we really suppose to believe that Emmet isn't gay? What straight man goes and lives with his sister after his divorce? He also had a really bad case of gay voice too! He was a musician, who sang and played piano. Gurrrl please! Hyacinth, while embarrassed by her family, never actually cut them off. She spoke to them on the phone regularly, and would even mention them to others. She just didn't want people to see them. That's pretty odd. Richard was a pretty hot daddy. Why didn't Elizabeth end up with him? They obviously wanted each other, at least Elizabeth did. What was up with the Vicar's wife's accent? Was she suppose to be Irish? The vicar was the hottest piece of ass in the show. The actor, Jeremy Gittins, appeared nude in "Tales of the Unexpected". Great ass! He was in bed with another man. Why wasn't Patricia Routledge made a Dame? It's pretty unbelievable, especially after her most infamous character favored the Royals. Give her the title! I wished that they would have ended the series with the Buckets moving. As they're driving away down the street, the neighbors come out and cheer and applaud. Hyacinth then sticks how her arm and gives them the finger, revealing that she was aware of what they all actually thought of her all along. The best scene was the one where the woman who Hyacinth was trying to direct into a parking spot, began to try driving her down! It's amazing that they never brought back the series for at least a special after 1995. From Wikipedia: In the March 2011 PBS pledge drive programming special Behind the Britcoms: from Script to Screen hosted by Moira Brooker and Philip Bretherton of As Time Goes By, the Keeping Up Appearances creators/writers/producers stated that they believed the series had many more years in it, that they had many more stories to tell, and that "it still had legs".
Bitches don''t know about my candlelight suppers!
I like my job and colleagues, but I have a new boss and we do not get along. He's a nit-picking micromanager with absolutely no sense of humor, and he makes me dread going into work each day. I love it when he's out on travel...I can literally feel my muscles and body relax. How does one cope with a horrid boss? Please regale me with advice and strategies.
THEN she rang a bell and all the employees yelled thank you after I said yes!! I'm never going there again!!!

Mine would be that friendships will mean more than love. Make friends and other good things in life will follow. Also stop being so passive when it comes to looking for love. You're acting like a spiderweb waiting for people to come to you. Don't be afraid to be the first one to say hello.
An open letter to Gloria Estefan By Victoria Jackson Editor's note: The following open letter was first submitted to the Miami Herald, but the paper opted not to publish it. Miami is my hometown. When I was born at Hialeah Hospital in 1959, you were 2 years old and moving here from Cuba, to escape Communism. America and its freedom, free enterprise and capitalism gave you the opportunity to become a superstar, to be financially and vocationally successful. America is now under siege by a Marxist, progressive, leftist, radical, socialist, communist dictator drunk with power. His name is Obama. You invited him to your home on April 15, 2010, for a Democratic fundraiser. 1. His parents were communists. His grandparents were communists. His childhood mentor Frank Davis was a communist. 2. He had "Marxist professors." He taught a class on Saul Alinsky whose book "Rules for Radicals" is dedicated to Lucifer. 3. His college records are sealed. 4. He claims to be a Christian yet ridicules Scripture, denies Jesus is the only way to salvation, supports partial-birth abortion and attended a church for 20 years pastored by Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who did not teach Christianity but "Black Liberation Theology," which is Marxism disguised as religion. 5. He is friends with radicals and communists like William Ayers and has appointed many of them to positions of power %E2%80%93 Sunstein, Jarrett, Van Jones, etc. 6. He told Joe the Plumber on the campaign trail that his philosophy was to "spread the wealth." This is a direct quote from "The Communist Manifesto" written by Karl Marx and Fredrich Engels. 7. When he entered office he immediately took over the banks, the auto industry, health care (by bribery) and is intent on ending freedom of speech on the Internet, radio and TV by fees and fines. He is intent on using the myth of human-caused global warming to usurp control over our energy by Cap 'n Tax, which would limit the number of minutes we take a shower and the kind of light bulbs we use. 8. His arrogant, excessive spending, with his stimulus laws and over-taxation, is destroying our economy, the middle class and our children's future quality of life. You had the audacity to invite this communist over to your home to raise money for the Democratic Party, which is controlling Congress and giving him unlimited power to achieve his goal of making our once-free country a welfare state, just like the Cuba you left. You are either uninformed, ignorant or crazy. Estudie Espanol dos anos en mi escuela secundario, y I think you are loco en la cabeza. I ask my Cuban friends and neighbors what happened to you. Don't you remember where you came from? Your father in a Cuban communist jail? They shake their heads sadly. You spit on the free country that gave you the American Dream. I urge you to educate yourself on what is happening in America today. Nov. 2 is the most serious vote of our nation's history. We will vote in either liberty or tyranny. How can you vote in tyranny when your family and friends risked their lives on rafts to escape it? I don't understand you. Sincerely, Victoria Jackson ("Saturday Night Live" cast member 1986-1992 because of capitalism/freedom)

Will Roger Federer win another major at age 33? Will Serena Williams overcome her recent difficulties to continue to triumph? Will there by a last gasp by Venus? Can Stan Wawrinka and his childbearing hips and ass manage another win? Rafa can "ween" here again, no? Nobody really wants Sharapova to win, right? Will mopey Andy Murray every look up from his constant despair to win another major and blot out the wet nightmares of his Lady Macbeth mother? Andy Murray is on Margaret Court today, something few men would want to claim. Will he ever have an ass as good as his namesake Andy Roddick? And speaking of Roddicks, is Brooklyn Decker Roddick still thin? And what will Mirka Federer be eating to calm her fat-covered nerves? What inane comments will The World's Worst Tennis Commentator, Chris Evert, make? Please don't refer to Djokovic as "Nole"; it wounds. I have state my boundary. And, at long last, my dear lord, will known and avowed heterosexual (and f/ormer Bond girl), Pam Shriver, ever find a MAN!

My partner, who doesn't "do" the DL, asked if I'd posted about this. So here it is. It's like the SEINFELD episode where the friends had an ugly baby, except someone actually mentioned the horror. The two neighbors live in townhouses in the building next door. One is an MD and in her 50s, no family. Big on women's health in her practice. The new mother is in her late 30s and she and her (third) husband just had the first child for either of them. They went through a fertility clinic and for the last three years it pretty much has been a non-stop conversation topic with her - the ups and downs and near misses and two "miscarriages" and then the morning sickness and nursery planning and work arrangements and doctors and complications and showers and family and a framed ultrasound - nonstop. And then the blessed event. So the new parents had some neighbors over, and Mom was gushing and flittering like a 20-year-old. She did a "Baby Presentation" where we all had to sit in the living room and she went and got the kid and did a "reveal." My partner and I were having trouble keeping it together, but when the little "banky" (she said it) came off the top of the carrier and she oozed, "Dear friends, I introduce you to... Delilah," there was a stunned silence. I didn't know a week-old infant could be so homely. It was like a blotchy Jimmy Durante with mismatched ears. Delilah must have spent a little time twisted in the birth canal, because I swear one side of her/its face didn't match the other side. Smooshed-like. The doctor said, flatly, "That doesn't look right." The mother looked like she had been stabbed in the heart. Which I guess she was. People jumped up and started gushing about how precious she was, but Mom just stood there staring. The husband clenched his fists and was breathing fast. My partner and I handed him a gift we had been holding onto and thanked him and congratulated him and got the hell out of there. He didn't talk either. This was last Sunday. Another neighbor said the doctor said she was just talking clinically and she was "sure that if there is an issue the pediatricians will address it." She didn't apologize. Sorry to go on but it was both unpleasant and like watching a train wreck.
Chris Hayes used to dress well when he'd be on as a writer for The Nation, yet now he looks like a refugee from K-mart even on "dress up" night events. What the deal with this Cupp lady? Is she supposed to be the gay lady counterpart to Steve Kornacki the gay guy? Kyrstal seems the fag-haggy straight womna, and Toure their metrosexual? I see they had Jeff Zeleny of the NY Times on as a pundit the other day. He reminds me of those Gag-the-Fag videos I've ... heard so much about.

Out of all the homophobic actors out there--and I’m sure their numbers are legion--Jensen Ackles irritates me the most. I don’t understand the gay men who worship him. He’s undeniably good looking but he can’t open his mouth without making a homophobic comment. What kills me is that gays everywhere take up for him just because of his looks. “Oh, he didn’t mean it that way;” or “Oh, it was just a joke;” or “Oh, you’re taking his comments too literally;” bullshit like that. Are you fuckin’ kiddin’ me??? I’m sorry but affecting a lispy high-pitched voice while ineffectually slapping at someone OVER AND OVER AND OVER, TIME AFTER TIME AFTER TIME, IN EVERY POSSIBLE CONTRIVED SITUATION isn’t funny. It isn’t a joke. And, similarly, using the word “gay” or “pansy” as a derogatory adjective in interviews isn’t okay either. Those things are evidence of a belief, people, an attitude toward gays, and I’m sick of guys lusting over him. I’m 46 and own my own architectural firm, and I have 6 architects working for me. Two of them are gay and about 10 years younger than me, and I had listen to them all goddam night go on about this guy. Even on DataLounge his name pops up constantly. It’s like a bunch of freakin’ yeshiva boys jonesin’ to blow motherfuckin’ Hitler. I don’t know what Ackles makes per episode, but word is that he clears 40k to 50k for an appearance at a “Supernatural” convention. So far this year he’s done twelve. On top of that, once he’s there he charges for meet-and-greets and photo ops, and it’s gays who are putting a lot of that money in his pocket. (Unless you’re [i]too[i/] gay. Then there’s no photo because he won’t pose with you.) Gays are also the ones glued to their tv sets each week, boosting his show’s ratings while they queer every gaze between him and his on-screen brother. [i]Idiots.[i/] This guy doesn’t even have the testicular fortitude of Sabrina the Teenage Witch! He won’t just come out and say what he thinks about gays, gay marriage or even politics because he knows it would hurt his career. In fact, his wife will re-Tweet stuff showing mild LGBT support just to muddy the waters and throw people, most likely Hollywood producers, off their GOP scent. However, the latest is that Stone Park Trust, the same trust that owns his Brentwood property--the same trust for which he’s the trustee--has allegedly made past donations to NOM, Prop 8 and Romney’s campaign, so anyone who thinks Ackles isn’t a Republican is nuts. His wife’s Twitter page practically spells it out, along with their very devout “I love me some Jesus” status. “Jensen’s favorite book is the Bible;” “His favorite actor is Jim Caviezel;” “His favorite time of year is Easter.” Blah, blah, blah. Man, I got nothing against anyone’s religion or their personal beliefs about gays and lesbians. Everyone, and I mean everyone, is entitled to their own opinions, but that doesn’t mean that I have to buy their product or watch their show. I’m not going to further any actor’s career so they can fight harder against my rights. And I’m sure not going to give someone like Ackles a starring role in my fantasies. I mean, compare his douchebaggery with the incredibly respectful and classy comments George Clooney made about constantly being called gay. Night and day. Night and day. WAKE UP AND SMELL THE HOMOPHOBIA, PEOPLE. STOP LUSTING OVER ASSHOLES.
Keri Russell is in it. It's all 1980s Cold War bullshit. It's a Republican lovefest. Will people just let go of the Reagan era already? For fuck's sake. The title card has a hammer and sickle in it (Communist symbol). The show was created by a retired military guy. The shit written on IMDB's message board is a Republican wankfest. Tired of seeing the promos.
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 . . .

Do you think that Lorna Luft thought that she would become a star from this or was she just looking for some chump change? Also, can Grease 2 be considered a camp classic? I, myself, think it's pretty campy. (See the 1:24 mark of the linked video for Lorna's part of a duet with Adrian Zmed.)
Apparently Roberts (August Osage County) has bought the rights to turn the amazing story of Miles Scott (who is already the subject of the Batkid Begins: The Wish Heard Around The World documentary) into a feature film, and wants to star in and produce it too. Batkid Begins: The Wish Heard Around The World premièred today at the Slamdance Film festival, but it looks like we'll be getting another movie telling the story of Miles Scott's awesome Make-A-Wish Foundation-sponsored day as Batkid from Julia Roberts, who according to Deadline has closed a deal to produce and star in a feature adaptation. On November 15, 2013, 5-year-old leukemia patient Miles Scott got his wish to be the Caped Crusader granted when thousands of volunteers helped turn San Francisco into Gotham City for a day. It's a story that touched us all, and saw 25,000 San Fran supporters as well as many more on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, tracking Miles' exploits across the city through a series of staged missions. Which role Roberts will play is unknown (Miles' mother perhaps?), but the Batkid documentary's director Dana Nachman will executive produce along Submarine’s Josh Braun and Dan Braun. What do you guys think?

Celebrity Big Brother star quits after calling Perez Hilton a ‘faggot’ 18th January 2015, 12:27 PM, Nick Duffy R&B singer Alexander O’Neal has walked out of Celebrity Big Brother, after getting an official warning for calling Perez Hilton a “faggot”. The singer and the gossip blogger had a tense confrontation last night, after Hilton seemed to deliberately provoke him. O’Neal ranted: “I know exactly what you’re doing, you know exactly what you’d get in America. You’re taunting me. You coming over here, you following me. “How could Big Brother let you do this? Oh wait, you ARE Big Brother. You not gonna say one word? “You just gonna sit there will that silly ass faggot look on your face?” The housemate was given an official warning by Big Brother for his use of ‘unacceptable’ language – but was not thrown out the house. Ken Morley was removed from the house earlier this week after using the word “negro”. Mr O’Neal later walked out the house today, becoming the third celebrity to leave. A statement from Channel 5 said: “Alexander O’Neal has chosen to leave the Celebrity Big Brother House.” Drag Race judge Michelle Visage also recently had a confrontation with Hilton, claiming he is “setting the LGBT community back” half a century”. Visage told Big Brother: “[Perez] sets our community back fifty years. He’s an embarrassment, I do not want people judging the gay community on this ass.” Celebrity Big Brother will continue tonight, at 9pm.

One Sunday last spring, Brad Kroenig and his 5-year-old son, Hudson, showed up at a private airport near Paris to meet Karl Lagerfeld, the fashion designer. “Karl will be here 1, 1:30 for takeoff,” announced a Frenchman in a black suit and tie. “O.K., cool,” Brad said. The man in the suit performed something like a bow and retreated. It was 12:45. Brad sank into an armchair by the window and surveyed the tarmac. He pointed out a large gray hawk of a plane that stood off to the side of the slighter, dovelike jets. “It’s the same one that Oprah has,” Brad said. “It’s the biggest one. It flies, like, the longest journey. A lot of private planes have to stop for gas.” Brad knows what kind of plane Lagerfeld travels on because he has flown on it often. As the most senior and prominent member of a group of male models often referred to as Karl’s Boys, Brad not only works for Chanel and Fendi, the fashion houses where Lagerfeld is the head designer, but also accompanies him on yearly vacations to St. Tropez and work trips and to parties worldwide. He has been photographed with Lagerfeld so often that gossip blogs have mistakenly identified him as the designer’s boyfriend, but their relationship is not romantic. Lagerfeld refers to Brad and the other models that travel with him as his family, albeit a self-selected, genetically ideal one. “I hate ugly people,” Lagerfeld told me. “Very depressing.” If models were show dogs, Brad would be a golden retriever. He has a strong jaw, hazel eyes and thick blond hair that seems perpetually windswept. The scruff on his face is shaped carefully, deliberately, to draw attention to his cheekbones. Unlike other beautiful people whose appeal lies in a distinctive facial quirk, Brad’s features are perfectly proportioned, with no apparent flaws or peculiarities. When he models, he looks like a Roman statue. “His best bit is the curve of his thigh,” Lagerfeld once said. At the airport, Hudson snapped photos on an iPhone while his father modeled for him. An hour went by. The man in the suit reappeared and said there would be “a special cake” for “Mr. Hudson” on the plane. Brad asked if there might be special wine for him. “Might as well, right?” he said, and grinned. Around 2:30, Lagerfeld appeared at the top of the stairs leading to the airport lounge. He was dressed in the manner that has made him the most recognizable designer in the world: a white shirt with a high Edwardian collar, fingerless leather gloves, a strict black blazer and sunglasses. A diamond cat brooch was pinned to his tie, and his tight black pants were covered in a microprint of his own likeness, which ran up and down the leg and, from far away, looked like a thick pinstripe. “Hello!” Lagerfeld said. He glanced at the field of small planes and frowned. “And where is ours? Is it that one?” Brad pointed to the larger jet parked just out of view. “Ah, the big one,” Lagerfeld said. “Good.” Lagerfeld was expected that evening in Dubai, where he would show Chanel’s 2015 resort collection in two days. Typically Brad would model in the show, but in Dubai, only Hudson, who is Lagerfeld’s godson, would walk the runway. (He has been appearing in Chanel shows since he was 2.) Lagerfeld was accompanied on the trip, as he is most places, by his 39-year-old bodyguard, Sébastien Jondeau, a part-time boxer with a sinewy build and an intense stare. (A few days later, he nearly body-checked Brad when he held a cup of coffee a little too close to Lagerfeld’s white blazer). Lagerfeld led the way to the plane. Inside, a wineglass of Diet Coke awaited him at his seat. At the back of the aircraft was a single bed made up with crisp white linens. “But where am I going to sleep?” Hudson asked. “You sleep on your seat, darling,” Lagerfeld replied in his heavy German accent. “I have to arrive fresh, you don’t have to. Don’t be selfish.” Lagerfeld rummaged in one of his many shopping bags and fished out a matching light blue Givenchy tank top and shirt with their tags still attached. “For Dubai,” he said, handing them to Brad. For the plane ride, Brad wor

"River's Edge" understood '80s kids -- and what they'd do to combat that horrible feeling of emptiness About a year and a half ago, I interviewed Daniel Waters, screenwriter of the enduring and dark teen comedy and media satire “Heathers” for the book (“Twee”) I was researching at the time. The conversation was genial and funny, and I could tell he was what we used to call at my old employer Spin magazine a “quote machine.” Soon, the subject got around to films of the late American auteur John Hughes, particularly his iconic high school trilogy of “Sixteen Candles” (1984), “The Breakfast Club” (1985) and “Pretty in Pink” (the 1986 romantic comedy that he wrote but did not direct). “I felt like Hughes was trying to coddle teenagers and almost suck up to them, idealize them,” Waters said, with almost no fear of reprisal from the many millions who hold these films (and Ferris Bueller … and even, to paraphrase Jeff Daniels in “The Squid and the Whale,” minor Hughes efforts like “Some Kind of Wonderful” and “She’s Having a Baby,” dear), “[With 'Heathers') I was more of a terrorist coming after John Hughes. What drove me nuts about the Hughes moves was the third act was always something about how bad adults were. When you grow up your heart dies. Hey, your heart dies when you’re 12!” One could make an argument for Waters’ "Heathers" (directed as a gauzy, occasionally surrealist morality play by Michael Lehmann) as the darkest teen film of all time. The humor is pitch-black, there’s a body count, a monocle, corn nuts and an utter excoriation of clueless boomers who wonder, as the supremely camp Paul Lynde did a quarter of a century earlier in the film adaptation of "Bye Bye Birdie," what (in fuck) is the matter with kids today? But it’s not. Not even close, when compared with a film that preceded it by only three years, the Neal Jimenez-penned, Tim Hunter-directed 1986 drama “River's Edge,” which is released this month on DVD after years of being difficult to find for home viewing. No other film captures more accurately what it’s like to be dead inside during the end of the Cold War, the height of MTV and the invasion of concerned but impotent parents. "River's Edge" was the one film that seemed to understand that it wasn’t the rap music, heavy metal music or even drugs that made '80s kids, it was … nothing. As in the feeling of searching your soul for what you should feel and finding it empty, and slowly, horrifyingly getting used to it to the point that at least one, maybe more of us, will do anything, even commit murder, in order to combat that horrible void. I didn’t want to kill anyone or even myself, but I wanted to disappear, or at least be frozen and wake up in art school in the early '90s, when bands like Nirvana gave that feeling a voice, and a few anthems.
DANIEL!

This girl eats ass like a CHAMP! This totally bursts the myth that only gay men know how to properly toss a salad. How may girls actually do this?? I have a cousin who said she "shocked" her (insanely hot) boyfriend by slipping her tongue into his no-no one time when she was blowing him. He protested at first, but since he kept saying "No" through a series of moans, she continued. He finally stopped her when she stuck her middle finger in his hole (but not before she got it up to the second knuckle, Heh!). Then he proceeded to fuck her like he'd never fucked her before. The dude in the vid is hot, with an equally hot ass and cock, and he's a ringer for Dave Franco. Yum!

Jindal: Amend Constitution To Stop Marriage Equality by Josh Israel, Posted on January 25, 2015 at 9:57 am, Updated: January 25, 2015 at 10:03 am Gov. Bobby Jindal (R-LA), a potential 2016 presidential candidate, mocked GOP colleagues for abandoning their opposition to marriage equality and endorsed a federal constitutional amendment to redefine marriage to be opposite-sex only. On ABC’s This Week on Sunday, Jindal told host George Stephanopoulos that he continues to believe that marriage is “between a man and a woman.” While claiming to be against “discrimination against anyone,” he lamented: “Many politicians are evolving — so called ‘evolving’ on this issue based on the polls. I don’t change my views based on the polls.” He boasted that Louisiana — one of just 14 states without marriage equality after Friday’s court ruling in Alabama — has a state constitutional ban on same-sex marriage. He said he hopes the U.S. Supreme Court doesn’t throw out the law but that, if they did, “I certainly support Ted Cruz and others that are talking about making an amendment, the Congress in D.C., a constitutional amendment to continue to allow states to continue to define marriage.” While Jindal and former Gov. Mike Huckabee (R-AR) continue to make their opposition to same-sex marriage a priority, other Republican 2016 hopefuls seem to be de-emphasizing the issue. At Rep. Steve King’s (R-IA) Iowa Freedom Summit on Saturday, the issue was almost completely unmentioned.

[bold]Pro-LGBT Colorado baker slapped with religious discrimination complaint[/bold] It was an hour into her shift when Lindsay Jones, a pastry chef at Denver’s Azucar Bakery, turned her attention from the full lobby to the “older, professional-looking” gentleman who’d just walked in. There was nothing strange in his demeanor as he sidled up to the counter to place an order. In fact, he was friendly and his request for a Bible-shaped cake seemed simple enough. Azucar’s owner, Marjorie Silva, tells Out Front that her employees are no strangers to Christian-themed requests and regularly fill them. Cake“We make [Christian-themed] cakes all the time,” she says. “No problem at all.” The gentleman took a seat at one of the tables as the team served him free samples and began building his order. He swiped through pics of Bible cakes on the iPad they presented him, and it appeared he’d found the perfect fit. It was only when he produced a leaf of paper from his pocket — careful not to release it to any of the attending employees, but simply brandishing it for them to read before returning it to his pocket — that the order “got a little uncomfortable,” says Lindsay. “He wanted us to write God hates …” she trails. “Just really radical stuff against gays.” “He wouldn’t allow me to make a copy of the message, but it was really hateful,” Marjorie adds. “I remember the words detestable, disgrace, homosexuality, and sinners.” However uncomfortable the request made the pair, both maintain that he was never refused service. “I told him that I would bake the cake in the shape of a Bible,” says Marjorie. “Then I told him I’d sell him a [decorating] bag with the right tip and the right icing so he could write those things himself.” She adds that naturally the cake wouldn’t have her handwriting expertise, but she would be devastated to release a cake via the bakery with such a hateful message fashioned by her own hands. Table-side negotiations quickly broke down. “He told me I needed to talk to my attorney about this,” Marjorie says. Then, he left. A few hours later, however, he was back, asking Marjorie if she’d conferred with her lawyer over the matter. She hadn’t. “I was busy,” she says. “I have a business to run here.” The sweet-toothed patrons in the bakery’s dining room began to take notice of the confrontational man in the lobby and again, Marjorie offered to bake him the cake and sell him the appropriate tools to complete the task himself. Though she thankfully admits their banter never devolved into yelling, she says it’s clear the man was comfortable creating a scene. He left upon request once more, still visibly upset, and Marjorie hoped that was the end of it. She says that one of her guests misheard the confrontation and thought Marjorie was refusing to bake a gay wedding cake. Exhausted, she reassured the patron that he was mistaken and that she would never do such a thing. “We’ve done lots of gay weddings,” Marjorie — who describes herself as “half-Jewish, half-Catholic” — tells us. “I love all people!” The third time the gentleman entered the store that day, Marjorie called for backup, asking her brother to excuse him. “I think he was looking for trouble at that point,” Lindsay interjects, adding that it appeared he was trying to rile up the staff. “He was being really pushy and disruptive about his order.” Azucar’s customers watched the embarrassing ordeal, and again the man agreed to go. “He said, ‘You will hear from me!’ and I got scared,” Marjorie says. “I was worried he was going to follow me — you can tell who I am in our big, pink van.” And Marjorie did hear from the man again, but — much to her relief — it was through a letter filed with Colorado’s Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA). The letter explained that a discrimination complaint had been filed against the bakery and that she would need to respond with her account of what happened the afternoon of March 13, 2014.
The last thread had a dramatic ending, so let's continue...

Damn, the Brits know how to put on a sex scandal. if they're not strangling young boys while getting their jollies, they're choking themselves with oranges while masturbating or locking themselves in suitcases to get a sexual high. "A Conservative MP murdered a young boy during a depraved sex party in the 1980s, an alleged victim of the Westminster paedophile scandal has claimed. The 12-year-old boy, who was being abused by a group of men, was strangled by the politician at a luxury townhouse in front of other victims, it has been alleged. On another occasion, the victim claims a young boy, who was around ten-years-old, was deliberately run down and killed by a car being driven by one of his abusers. The alleged murders are among three that are now being investigated by the Metropolitan Police as part of a major probe into claims that a powerful paedophile ring with links to Westminster was operating in Britain in the 1970s and 1980s. Scotland Yard, which set up Operation Fairbank two years ago to look at the abuse claims, announced on Friday it had launched a fresh strand of the inquiry, entitled Operation Midland, to probe the alleged murders."

...All of this presents a very big problem for HarperCollins. Ventura’s lawyers believe they can prove that American Sniper’s massive success was spurred, at least initially, by interest in the Ventura story. Under normal circumstances, HarperCollins might fight back by arguing that the story is true. But therein lies the brilliance of Ventura’s maneuvering: A jury has already determined that the Ventura tale is false and defamatory, meaning HarperCollins is legally barred from rearguing its veracity. As a result, HarperCollins must instead argue that it did not act with “reckless disregard” for the truth of Kyle’s claims, and that no part of the company’s profits arose from interest in the Ventura story. Those questions, of course, must be left for a jury to decide. But it does not look very good for HarperCollins. Don’t pity the publishers too much, though. In the midst of this legal drama, the movie adaption of American Sniper has shattered box office records and brought in well over US$100-million. HarperCollins is sure to make a killing off royalties from the film, and off sales from the new movie tie-in edition of American Sniper. Even if Ventura wins millions in his second lawsuit, the publishing house may well walk away from this debacle with a healthy profit remaining, just as Kyle’s widow will do. The moral of Kyle’s story, then: It pays to lie.

50 Shades of Grey is already a hit: Fandago's biggest R-rated title ever
Simon Halls Squirrel
Turns out the beloved sitcom treated fat people as punch lines and kind of had a homophobia problem “Friends” hit Netflix for the first time in 2015, and while it’s certainly not the first time people have had the opportunity to rewatch the show since it went off the air in 2004, it has provided a handy excuse for people to ruminate belatedly on the show’s impact — and for crazy super-fans to binge-watch all 10 seasons, obviously — and perhaps learn something new about the gang in the process. And they did! Some revelations were goofy, some light, and others pretty damning. Here’s what the Internet dug up about our favorite sitcom when viewed in the cold harsh light of 2015: Chandler is the worst, and he’s also pretty homophobic. As Ruth Graham wrote in Slate: “Chandler’s treatment of his gay father, a Vegas drag queen played by Kathleen Turner, is especially appalling, and it’s not clear the show knows it. It’s one thing for Chandler to recall being embarrassed as a kid, but he is actively resentful and mocking of his loving, involved father right up until his own wedding (to which his father is initially not invited!)… his continuing discomfort now reads as jarringly out of place for a supposedly hip New York thirtysomething — let alone a supposedly good person, period…. When it comes to women, Chandler turns out to be just as retrograde as Joey, but his lust comes with an undercurrent of the kind of bitter desperation that I now recognize as not only gross, but potentially menacing.” Although, this, of course, is not the first time the show’s homophobia has been addressed: Refinery29, meanwhile, delved into the issues with the show’s use of “Fat Monica” as a punchline. “In the show’s storyline, Monica loses weight in college after overhearing Chandler make fun of her size. Shamed into thinness, Fat Monica becomes just Monica — desirable and (finally) human. Monica is many things: funny, uptight, loving, competitive. Fat Monica is just fat… and always hungry. I was grateful for Fat Monica as a kid. She was proof I could overcome my disgusting plumpness and be seen as lovable, too. True, I would always bear the shame of my inflated past, just like Monica did, but I was willing to live with that if it meant I’d be a person instead of a punchline.”
What a cunt!
I'm sure very few of you are aware of what happened Wednesday night- the Swiss National (aka Central) Bank reassured people on Monday that it would keep buying euro-bonds to keep the 1EUR TO 1.2CHF (Swiss Franc) peg in place, and then suddenly removed that "floor" on Wed night, which caused the euro to drop from 1.20 per franc to less than .90 euro to franc in milliseconds. Tens (hundreds) of billions were lost in a moment. Big FX traders are now bankrupt. The ripples keep spreading- Goldman Sucks lost billions in "carry trade" alone.

Florida four-year-old at centre of circumcision battle Case of parents at odds over fate of young boy’s penis has drawn ‘intactivists’ from across the country who object to surgical removal of child’s foreskin Associated Press in Boynton Beach, Florida, Monday 19 January 2015 12.35 EST An estranged Florida couple’s fight over whether to circumcise their son has become a rallying cry for those who denounce the procedure as barbaric. The dispute between Heather Hironimus, the mother opposing circumcision, and Dennis Nebus, the father favouring it, has sparked a prolonged court battle, protests and the rapt attention of a movement of self-proclaimed “intactivists”. Judges have ruled in favour of the father, meaning the surgery is likely to happen, but the possible closure of the legal chapter has done little to mute the case’s most passionate followers. Though many still choose to remove their sons’ foreskins at the suggestion of a doctor, for religious or cultural reasons, or out of habit, opponents have been bolstered by the overall waning popularity of circumcision, and the fact this fight has gone on so long the boy at its centre is now four years old. “I couldn’t speak when I was cut, but I can speak now,” said Thomas Frederiksen, a 39-year-old machinist who travelled from Orlando to protest, wearing a red beret and “I [Heart] My Foreskin” T-shirt and speaking breathlessly about the issue. Volumes of court filings tell the story: Hironimus and Nebus had a six-month relationship that resulted in a pregnancy, the birth of a boy named Chase, and a fight over nearly everything since. Nebus sued to prove his paternity and to get partial custody of the boy and the couple whittled out a parenting plan outlining everything from his surname to his legal address, to whom he calls mommy or daddy and, notably, what becomes of his penis. In that document, the circumcision of the child was agreed to by both parents. When it came time to schedule the procedure, though, the mother resisted, having researched the subject further. The matter wound its way through circuit court, which ruled in Nebus’s favour, then to the fourth district court of appeal, which refused to overturn the lower court’s ruling. Hironimus could ask for a rehearing in the appellate court, but has made no further legal filings. “Just the normal thing to do,” the father said of circumcision, according to the court files. “To me, it’s not worth it to put my son’s life at risk for a cosmetic procedure,” the mother said. The parents entered an agreement on 24 December to not talk to the press and to avoid any other campaigns or actions that might exploit the child. There is no indication in the court documents the circumcision is being done for religious reasons. The attorney that had represented the mother, who lives in Boynton Beach, is no longer being retained and has not been replaced, the lawyer’s office said. The attorney for the father, who lives in Boca Raton, did not respond to requests for comment. Though circumcision rates have fallen in the US, a majority of boys still undergo the removal of their foreskin. A 2013 report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found 58.3% of newborn boys were circumcised in 2010, down from 64.5% in 1979. (The data excluded babies who were circumcised after leaving the hospital – many Jewish boys have the procedure during a ceremony called a bris, eight days after birth.) Meantime, a bubbling anti-circumcision movement has grown. They have made the boy at the centre of this case their cause célèbre, as evidenced by one of several small sidewalk protests here featuring signs including “Let Chase Keep His Foreskin”, “Don’t Cut Chase’s Penis”, “Don’t You Dare Circumcise Chase!” and “Ethics 101: No Disease, No Consent, No Circumcision.” Some passing motorists honked or gave gestures of support; some looked puzzled or shouted “Who’s Chase?” Jonathan Friedman, 27, who organised the demonstration as part of his “Saving Chase” campaign, travelled from Chicago for the event and makes anti-circumcision advocacy the focus of his life. He wore a “Children Never Forget Trauma” T-shirt and said he became vocal on the issue when he realised the harm of his own circumcision, which he blames for bleeding, chafing and painful erections. What has driven supporters to his side, Friedman says, is the age of the boy in this case. “People are not OK with a four-year-old boy being circumcised – a conscious, articulate boy. That’s just not OK,” Friedman said. “Not everyone is against circumcisions, but I think everyone is against a four-year-old’s circumcision.” Last month, the CDC released a draft of long-awaited federal guidelines on circumcision, stopping short of telling parents they should choose the procedure, but saying medical evidence shows benefits clearly outweigh risks. It can lower a male’s risk of sexually transmitted diseases, penile cancer and even urinary tract infections, the CDC said, potential benefits of which the protesters expressed serious doubt. Gathered quietly near the office of a pediatric urologist who examined the boy and who may be chosen for the surgery, they said the circumcision should be put off until adulthood, when the patient could decide for himself. To those who view the procedure as minor, they gave a list of reasons they believe shows it is not – from loss of sensation to unseen psychological damage. “They think it’s just a little snip and it’s not,” said Jennifer Blanchard, 34, of Miami. “It’s a big deal.”

Fabulous show! Just saw them in Los Angeles. Adam Lambert is perfect as a stand-in for Freddie Mercury. He twirled, strutted and preened like Cher imitating Liza Minnelli. He worked the runway like Naomi Campbell circa 1995. And he sang/screamed the sh*t out of those songs. Queen performed all of their best-known songs. There were even very nice Freddie Mercury visuals throughout the show, including Adam and Freddie duetting part of "Bohemian Rhapsody." Crowd was 60% for Queen and 40% for Adam and everyone left happy. It was the absolute opposite of the train wreck that you vicious DL b*tches predicted.

In a nod to "the longevity of []'s career really surprised " thread, whose career did you expect to last much longer than it actually did? My choices: Lohan--she was hyped as the next big star and she fizzled faster than anyone before, far more dramatically too. People on the thread about Mommie Dearest killing off Dunaway's career said she aged faster than any other actress they knew off. Clearly, they forgot about Lohan. Jennifer Aniston--yeah, she was always one-note, and I always thought Lisa Kudrow was the best part of Friends, but I thought that she would at least have an agent who would steer her in the right direction. Nicole Kidman--she is capable of being a good actress. She was even hyped to become a bigger star than Tom Cruise. Yeah, ok. What are your choice?

I just found out that the reason I passed out in the middle of Sixth Avenue and ended up in the emergency room with some serious damage about ten years ago is that someone put rohypnol in a beer I was drinking. Needless to say the asshole is psychotic. How can I fuck up his life? Serious replies only.
In my life, my favorite concerts were: Whitney Houston- she sang so much better live than in records. She was a superb musician. Cher- I never expected to like this but what a showman she is! Donna Summer- She was the real deal. Her powerful voice came at you in wave after wave. Kathleen Battle- This opera singer's voice was tiny but sounded like a clear bell. I've never before or since heard the entire audience sigh in unison after a song. This was in the 80's before she went crazy.
Chicago homosexual community shocked he could keep it secret Published: 8 hours ago A prominent member of Chicago’s homosexual community claims Barack Obama’s participation in the “gay” bar and bathhouse scene was so well known that many who were aware of his lifestyle were shocked when he ran for president and finally won the White House. “It was preposterous to the people I knew then to think Obama was going to keep his gay life secret,” said Kevin DuJan, who was a gossip columnist in Chicago for various blogs when Obama was living in the city as a community organizer and later a state senator. “Nobody who knew Obama in the gay bar scene thought he could possibly be president,” said DuJan. DuJan, founder and editor of the Hillary Clinton-supporting website HillBuzz.org, told WND he has first-hand information from two different sources that “Obama was personally involved in the gay bar scene.” “If you just hang out at these bars, the older guys who have been frequenting these gay bars for 25 years will tell you these stories,” DuJan said. “Obama used to go to the gay bars during the week, most often on Wednesday, and they said he was very much into older white guys.” Obama, DuJan said, is “not heterosexual and he’s not bisexual. He’s homosexual.” Investigative journalist Wayne Madsen, who worked with the National Security Agency from 1984 to 1988 as a Navy intelligence analyst, confirmed DuJan’s claims. “It is common knowledge in the Chicago gay community that Obama actively visited the gay bars and bathhouses in Chicago while he was an Illinois state senator,” Madsen told WND. WND also spoke with a member of the East Bank Club in Chicago, who confirmed Obama was a member there and was known to be a homosexual. The upscale fitness club says it has some 10,000 members, but it’s one of a number of places identified by the Chicago homosexual community as a “gay gym.” In April, WND reported a federal judge dismissed a libel case against Larry Sinclair, a homosexual who claimed Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign had paid to rig a polygraph test regarding Sinclair’s sensational charge that he had sex and used cocaine twice with Obama while Obama was an Illinois state senator. Sinclair tells his story in “Barack Obama & Larry Sinclair: Cocaine, Sex, Lies & Murder.” WND also reported former radical activist John Drew has said that when he met Obama when Obama was a student at Occidental College, he thought Obama and his then-Pakistani roommate were “gay” lovers. In addition, rumors have swirled around Obama’s relationship with his personal aide and former “body man,” Reggie Love, who resurfaced on the eve of the Republican National Convention to support his old boss. Love resigned from the White House in November 2011 after compromising photographs of him as a college student received wide circulation. WND also has documented in two separate articles, here and here, that Obama wore a gold band on his wedding ring finger from the time he attended Occidental College through his student days at Harvard Law School. DuJan said that during Obama’s first presidential campaign, “there was fear in the gay community” about talking openly about Obama being homosexual, particularly after the murder in December 2007 of Donald Young, the openly gay choir director at Jeremiah Wright’s Trinity United Church of Christ, who was known to be a close friend of Obama. “People did not want to talk openly about Obama being gay,” he said. “Then, when we saw how Larry Sinclair was demonized, anybody who would expose Obama worried they would be silenced if they dared to speak the truth about Obama’s gay life,” DuJan said. ‘Obama’s secrets’ DuJan said he has been told “Obama’s secrets would have to come out just like John Edwards’ secrets came out.” He said Obama stopped going to gay bars and bathhouses in Chicago when he began running for the U.S. Senate in 2004. “Back then, Obama could walk around Chicago and people generally wouldn’t recognize him, even though he was a state senator in the Illinois assembly at the time,” DuJan said.

This is the group that Al Qaeda rejected as being *too extreme*. They've now taken over Iraq. ISIS is no longer a terrorist group — they're a terrorist state. They want to control entire Middle East and attack the West. This is fucking scary. The world is a mess right now, but this is next-level. Has Obama backed himself into a corner by saying there will be no ground combat? Will airstrikes alone take care of it? What does he even want to do?

Actor Rob Lowe has hit out after United States President Barack Obama met with a YouTube star but declined to have a face-to-face with Isr*el* President Benjamin Netanyahu. Lowe, perhaps best known for his part on political drama The West Wing, tweeted his million followers yesterday: “Hold up. Is it true that a woman who eats cereal out of a bath tub gets to meet with the President and the Prime Minister of Isr*el does not?” YouTube star GloZell, a comedian with just over three million subscribers to her channel, was invited to interview the president following his State of the Union address. She was one of three YouTube stars invited to the White House in the latest attempt to reach out to younger voters. The tweet follows the announcement that president Obama has declined to meet with president Netanyahu when the Isr*el* leader visits Washington in March to address Congress. A political and diplomatic storm has raged since it emerged that John Boehner, the Speaker of the House, had invited Mr Netanyahu to address Congress but that the Isr*eli president would not be meeting with president Obama.

A new CNN poll found that most Americans believe that she will do a better job than President Obama on every issue, which means that Republicans are in a world of hurt if they believe that attacks on Obama will drag Clinton down. Via CNN: Clinton served as America’s top diplomat during Obama’s first four years in office, so it may not be surprising that some of her best marks in the poll come on overseas issues: 63% say she would do a good job on foreign policy and 61% say the same on terrorism. But it is notable that 63% say she’d do a good job handling the economy, and 57% believe she’d handle health care well. Now compare those to Obama’s latest job approval ratings on those same issues. Just 38% questioned in the CNN poll say that they approve of how the President’s handling the economy. That’s 25 percentage points lower than the number who think Clinton would do a good job on the economy. Only 40% approve of Obama’s foreign policy, 23 points lower than Clinton. Republicans are quickly running out of lines of attack against Hillary Clinton. The age attack hasn’t worked. Bringing up the Lewinsky scandal bombed and an attempt to start a rumor about her health was a total disaster. The news that Bill Clinton is the most admired president of the last quarter century presents an enormous problem for Republicans, but the idea that Hillary Clinton is viewed as separate and as a change from President Obama is even worse. Republicans were hoping that their candidate would at least have the change argument on their side but the Clinton brand is unique. Clinton can’t be lumped in with President Obama because the American people already know what Hillary Clinton is about. This is why attempts to politically define her will likely be fruitless efforts. She isn’t a blank slate like President Obama was during his first campaign. Voters already know and like the Clintons, so Republican attacks will likely be more preaching to the conservative choir. If Hillary Clinton has the hope and change argument on her side, Republicans are totally screwed. Staying out of domestic politics has allowed former Sec. Clinton to remain in the public eye without getting stale. Since she previously ran against President Obama, voters are well aware that she and the current president have differences on policy. Should Clinton keep the momentum going, Republicans will be in big trouble in 2016.

Though I hate most of the Chuck Lorre shows "Mom" is really growing on me. (Fuck, I love Alison Janney." There's something about the actress who plays the daughter, Sadie Calvano, I think. Most shows casting any woman under 25 is casting a vapid bag of hair, but this actress has something going on for her. She's pretty but also seems to have some talent. She's reminding me of 80s teen movie actresses, sort of along the lines of Meredith Salenger or Jennifer Gray or something. (Spoiler) * * Good for the show that they actually stuck with the whole giving up the baby for adoption thing. Like abortion, that shit is usually talked about but then the character Sees The Light and changes their mind.

Are they a turn on for you? (Size 11s or bigger?) I kinda think it's sexy.
I think I handled this almost right. I think I should have said something instead of just leaving, but I was so angry I was afraid I was going to lose my temper. DH, DD, and I went to MIL's to watch football (we don't have TV at the moment and she invited us). She got to her house after we did but we were already inside (normal) and DD had gone into another room to play. While MIL was putting away her groceries, she said she got a specific ice cream for DD. In the course of conversation regarding them, I specifically said that I did not want DD to have one unless she ate real food first. I also explained why, and MIL replied that she understood. We adults sat down to watch the game, DD was still playing and had heard none of that conversation. About 20 minutes in, DD comes out to ask for water. MIL gets up to get her some water. A few minutes later, MIL comes out with an ice cream. I kind of tenses but waited for DD to come back out of the kitchen thinking maybe she was still drinking. A few minutes passed and I excused myself to the bathroom which is accessed through the kitchen. Sure enough, DD was sitting there eating an ice cream. I continued into the bathroom, did my business, and tried to collect myself. My heart was pounding in my chest and my hands were shaking. I took a few deep breaths, barely came out, and asked DH to please come here. I explained to him that I was going home, that he could stay (it's football after all and I love it, too!), and that if DD was done, she was going with me. He could text me when he needed a ride and I would be happy to come get him. I then asked him to get my hat and scarf from the TV room because if I went in there, I would lose my cool. He apologized to me, got my stuff, and told me to go warm up the car while he got DD ready to leave. I don't know what, if anything, he said to his mom, but he appropriately told DD that we were leaving because I didn't feel well and it was almost her bed time. If he didn't tell his mom the real reason why tonight, I will ask him to do so tomorrow. Like I said, I think leaving was appropriate, but I almost wish I would have told her why myself; I just knew if I did, I might have lost my temper, and that wouldn't have been helpful. Thoughts?

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

Ben Affleck and Bill Maher clearly have differing views on Islam. The Gone Girl star appeared on Friday's Real Time With Bill Maher, and the two sparred when Affleck felt Maher and guest Sam Harris were painting an overly broad and negative picture of those who practice Islam. Affleck did not appreciate Harris' comment that Americans have been "sold this meme of Islamophobia." Affleck responded by asking Harris, "Hold on — are you the person who officially understands the codified doctrine of Islam?" "It's gross, it's racist," Affleck added about Maher and Harris' remarks. "It's like saying, 'Oh, you shifty Jew.' " Maher told Affleck that he wasn't actually listening to them. Harris said Islam is currently the "motherload of bad ideas," with which Maher agreed, leading Affleck to counter: "It's just an ugly thing to say."

'American Sniper' widow speechless after rifle raffle By Jareen Imam, CNN; Updated 3:58 PM ET, Sat January 24, 2015 (CNN)For another weekend, moviegoers will be glued to their seats, watching the grit and turmoil of Chris Kyle, the real-life character portrayed in "American Sniper." But for Kyle's widow, Taya, the blockbuster hit is all too real. Fortunately, she's not alone. Friday, Taya was left searching for words after the nonprofit organization AmericanSnipers.org awarded her family $62,000 from its successful rifle raffle. The group auctioned off five rifles from its site. One of the rifles was a replica of the McMillan .338 Lapua sniper rifle that Kyle used in combat, which Taya signed. In a YouTube video captured at the 2015 SHOT Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, Taya addresses an applauding crowd after learning about the money raised for her family. "I don't know what to say. It's been a bittersweet journey, obviously, and I do feel that Chris is with me," she says in the video. Why 'American Sniper' is a smash hit Brian Sain, the co-founder of AmericanSnipers.org, says it was important for him and the organization to show their support for Kyle's family. "I think America needs heroes like Chris. He was a diehard American," Sain said in an interview with CNN. Sain meet Kyle in 2009 and the two formed a friendship. They discussed working together to help raise money and gear for troops overseas through AmericanSnipers.org. In August, Sain organized a rifle raffle on the site as a way to continue that dream. The raffle ended on Thursday and the money that was raised was donated to Taya and her two children. Coming from a law enforcement background himself, Sain says supporting Kyle's family is only natural. "The whole community is a family. No one really understands what we do." "Chris would have done this for me." Kyle was shot and killed February 2 at a gun range, alongside his friend Chad Littlefield. A Marine Corps veteran, Eddie Ray Routh, 25, faces murder charges in their deaths.

I'm fascinated by this era. Any film recommendations?
Don't spare any details. I need some good j.o. material for tonight. I would love to suck a fat cock right now but it simply isn't possible.
Yesterday was the premiere of season 10, after 9 criminally overlooked seasons. (At least the show has a strong cult following, I suppose.) Any thoughts? I thought the first episode was okay. I guess I was a little underwhelmed, considering it was the big season premiere, but it definitely had its funny bits. I hope the next few are better. Really, though, I just want to see Charlie Day every week. I have a somewhat inexplicable crush on Charlie Day.

Today in Paris, Rick Owens might have finally uncovered the one part of the body that hasn’t yet been shown by cutouts: the groin. Several of the models walking his runway wore draped, dress- and tunic-like garments which had fabric missing from the one part of the body that, one would think, a guy would want to keep covered up. The strategically draped holes were low enough to keep the men mostly modest, but it is easy to imagine a breeze whipping up, and the wearer receiving a summons for indecent exposure.

A segment on Friday's "Fox and Friends" chastised Arizona State University for offering a course this spring that examines the "problem of whiteness." Co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck spoke with Lauren Clark, an ASU student who was disturbed by a course in the school's English department titled "Race Theory & the Problem of Whiteness." Clark is also a writer for Campus Reform, a student news website backed by the Leadership Institute, which organizes conservative groups on campus. Clark took issue with the class book list, which included titles like "Everyday Language of White Racism" and "Possessive Investment in Whiteness." A syllabus for the class was not available online. "All of these books have a disturbing trend and that's pointing to all white people as the root cause of social injustices for this country," Clark said. Hasselback then asked Clark whether ASU would dare offer a course called "The Problem With Blackness" or "The Problem With Being Female." "I don't think that would fly at the university," Clark responded. "Quite frankly, as an ASU student myself, I'm disappointed that my school would offer a course like this. Clearly we have a lot of work to go as a society in terms of racial tension, but having a class that suggests an entire race is the problem is inappropriate, wrong, and quite frankly, counter productive." Hasselback added that she thought the course seemed "quite unfair and wrong and pointed." When contacted by TPM on Friday, Lee Bebout, the white professor teaching the class, referred questions to the university's press office. The university issued the following statement on the course to TPM: This course uses literature and rhetoric to look at how stories shape people’s understandings and experiences of race. It encourages students to examine how people talk about – or avoid talking about – race in the contemporary United States. This is an interdisciplinary course, so students will draw on history, literature, speeches and cultural changes – from scholarly texts to humor. The class is designed to empower students to confront the difficult and often thorny issues that surround us today and reach thoughtful conclusions rather than display gut reactions. A university is an academic environment where we discuss and debate a wide array of viewpoints.

At first I wasn't so sure but lately I've become more suspicious. I've noticed him looking me up and down several time in the past few weeks and he's getting friendlier and more touchy feely everyday. He's also been making double entendres. What should I do? Do you think he intends to follow through or is he just being friendly?
Who started great then it all fell apart? I mean their work.
I saw this on two resumes. At first they suckered me in...then I was like wait. That is like a week's worth of work. Quit bragging!!!

It looks like the old thread was deleted. Maybe it was the comments made about the building in Saudi Arabia. I want to compliment the person who chose Lake Point Tower in Chicago and the attractive photograph.
I heard this the other day and it reminded me of the romantic songs you used to hear, all the time on the radio, driving along in the 1970s. Not as slushy and overly dramatic as they became in the '80s (all those held notes).
Now that I'm starting my seventh decade (I'm 61), I've decided to get serious about skin care. I've never really used anything on my skin except (very infrequently) sunblock. (And of course there was no such thing when I was a boy and out in the sun all the time.) But my skin is not in bad shape ... very few wrinkles, at least. So ... what's the best skin care regimen and what are the best products (or types of products) to use? I'm thinking a day moisturizer with a high SPF (at least on days when I plan to be in the sun) and some kind of night cream. Thanks in advance for your suggestions. (And please don't recommend some exotic $500 product!)

Actor Alec Baldwin to write memoir 'Nevertheless' NEW YORK Fri Jan 23, 2015 11:55am EST (Reuters) - Emmy-winning actor and reputed hothead Alec Baldwin is putting his actions into words. A memoir about his life, the ups and downs of his career and his struggles with addiction is due out next year, publisher HarperCollins said on Friday. The book, entitled "Nevertheless," is scheduled for launch in the autumn of 2016. "Alec Baldwin is a larger-than-life talent with an astonishing range. And his life up to now has been far from dull," Jonathan Burnham, senior vice president and publisher of Harper, said in a statement. The star of the TV show "30 Rock" will pen the book himself and include stories about his childhood in New York, his early career as a soap opera star, his marriage and acrimonious divorce from actress Kim Basinger, and his second marriage to yoga instructor Hilaria Thomas in 2012. Last year Baldwin, 56, said he had considered leaving New York, partly because of how he has been depicted in the press. After a series of headline-grabbing incidents the actor had been portrayed as a hotheaded homophobe and bigot. His short-lived cable TV talk show "Up Late with Alec Baldwin" was canceled in 2013 after he made what a gay rights group called a homophobic comment to a New York photographer. Baldwin issued an apology, but the network MSNBC dropped his show.

Box-Office Shocker: 'American Sniper' Tops Friday With $30.5M, Could Approach $80M
Around 1988-1989, I bought a cassette by a white male singer-Jonathan something or other. He had a great bluesy voice, fantastic for ballads. That album didn't produce any hits, and I have heard nothing from him since. The cover had him in a brown/tan hat, I think Any idea what the name of that artist is? His album came out about the same time as Debbie Allen's over-produced monstrocity of an album. I remember listening to it in the store and thinking, wow is this awful.
What do we know about him beyond how sexy, tight, and revealing the bulges in his jeans are? He often mentions his very young son, but he said the other day that just the two of them live alone. A while ago he also talked about auditioning for modeling/acting jobs in New York City. I haven't been checking out HSN long enough to know but I read him as someone who has butched it up to hide being gay. Does anybody else get the same vibe?
It's the same thing!! Plus Naomi Watts seems like she is playing Natasha from Bullwinkle.

Since 1985 an Asian female figure has had at least one step on the World Championship podium 26 out of 29 years! An AMAZING feat resulting in 18 Gold medals, 9 Silver medals and 12 Bronze medals In 2007 it was a SWEEP as Miki Ando, Mao Asada and Yu-Na Kim swept the podium. Since 1992 Asian female figure has had at least one step on the Olympic Podium every Olympic games. Resulting in 3 Gold medals, 4 Silver medals, and 3 Bronze medals. Legendary skating coach Carlos Fassi said Asian women would dominate this sport when school figures were eliminated. The US women used to dominate this sport. Not anymore. The US women have not won a medal in singles at the World Championships in 8 years, the longest drought ever Fassi was right when he predicted Asian Women RULE Figure Skating. Why can't the US women falling so behind the Asian women?
I think it's so strange when people act like torture and lies by the government is some new thing. FDR knew that Japan was going to bomb Pearl Harbor, but kept it secret so he had an excuse to enter WW2. He allowed thousands of innocent men and women to die so he could convince the "average person" to enter WW2. Fuck him, and the people that love his bullshit. You are the same moronic thug assholes that allowed Bush to invade and bomb the Middle East based on bullshit.
A new book reports that two days before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor that officially brought the United States into World War II, President Roosevelt was warned about such a possible attack in a memo from naval intelligence. U.S. News' Paul Bedard writes more about the story: In the newly revealed 20-page memo from FDR's declassified FBI file, the Office of Naval Intelligence on December 4 warned, "In anticipation of open conflict with this country, Japan is vigorously utilizing every available agency to secure military, naval and commercial information, paying particular attention to the West Coast, the Panama Canal and the Territory of Hawaii." The memo comes from Craig Shirley's new book, December 1941: 31 Days that Changed America and Saved the World, which also reports that the Japanese were building a network of spies through their U.S. embassies and consulates. However, Shirley doesn't blame FDR for failing to act on the memo; instead, he compares the Roosevelt administration's inaction to the executive branch's failure to act on pre-9/11 intelligence. In each instance, Shirley contends, the evidence suggests "that there were more pieces to the puzzle" that the White House missed in the days and weeks leading up to the attack. "So many mistakes through so many levels of Washington," said Shirley. "Some things never change." And in a bit of unusually related news, 45,000 residents will evacuate a town in Germany after the discovery of one of the largest unexploded bombs in history. Stars and Stripes reports the 4,000 pound bomb, with more than 3,000 pounds of attached explosives, was dropped on the town of Koblenz by the British Royal Air Force during the war. The bomb was discovered in the Rhine River, where water levels have dropped due to lack of rain. A 275-pound American bomb was also discovered nearby.
According to Jennifer Saunders and Rosanne. Story and photographic evidence at link. Can you remember the last time you saw Dolly Parton wear a sleeveless dress or strapless gown? It's been decades. That's because the country singer is covered in tattoos, which she's been weirdly secretive about. But we found some photographic evidence! There've been rumors for years that Dolly was heavily inked, with full sleeves. But she's never showed them off publicly, and has even gone so far as denying they exist. Back in 2012, while on the red carpet for the premiere of her film Joyful Noise, Dolly bent over a little too far and revealed what looks to be a heart or a flower petal tattoo. A few weeks later she was a guest on Anderson Cooper's daytime talk show, where she denied that she had a cleavage tattoo and implied that the photos had been doctored. (Multiple photos from different angles, taken by different photographers for different agencies prove otherwise.) However, in a 2013 interview, Jennifer Saunders talked about the time that she and Roseanne ran into Dolly at a restaurant. Dolly asked them if they wanted to see her tattoos, so then she opened her top and showed them her boobs, which Jennifer says were completely covered in "the most beautiful angels and beautiful butterflies and baskets of flowers in pastel-colored tattoos." Dolly made them promise not to tell anyone, but Jennifer put the anecdote in her autobiography. Roseanne was the first one to tell the story publicly, though, as a guest on Craig Ferguson's show in 2011. Do you know who's totally tattooed? I shouldn't even tell this. Dolly Parton is totally tattooed…She showed me. She's got all these awesome tattoos all over body—no black or blue lines, all like, pastel gorgeous bows all over everything. The rumor is that her tattoos are strategically placed to cover up the scars from her different breast augmentation surgeries. Dolly herself had inadvertently revealed one of her tattoos on her arm in 1996 on The Tonight Show when Jay Leno peeked down the shoulder cut-out of her top. Since then, Dolly has been really careful with her wardrobe so as not to reveal her ink. She always wears long-sleeve tops, and even when she has on a sheer blouse, she wears an undergarment—sort of like pantyhose that hook down around her hands (like in the photo up top). But there are some instances where she isn't so careful and her tattoos are visible in paparazzi photos or at public events, like in 2006 at the 25th anniversary party for 9 to 5. Hello, butterfly!

The first new antibiotic to be discovered in nearly 30 years has been hailed as a ‘paradigm shift’ in the fight against the growing resistance to drugs. Teixobactin has been found to treat many common bacterial infections such as tuberculosis, septicaemia and C. diff, and could be available within five years. But more importantly it could pave the way for a new generation of antibiotics because of the way it was discovered. Scientists have always believed that the soil was teeming with new and potent antibiotics because bacteria have developed novel ways to fight off other microbes. But 99 per cent of microbes will not grow in laboratory conditions leaving researchers frustrated that they could not get to the life-saving natural drugs. Now a team from Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts, have discovered a way of using an electronic chip to grow the microbes in the soil and then isolate their antibiotic chemical compounds. They discovered that one compound, Teixobactin, is highly effective against common bacterial infections Clostridium difficile, Mycobacterium tuberculous and Staphylococcus aureus.
Do you warm up your car for several minutes in cold weather? Awhile back someone told me that cars built before ____ (can't remember the year) you don't need to warm up, so I never do. But someone I was talking to recently said that for some cars you do have to warm up, even for newer models.

Can you guess which Royal appeared in a gay magazine? 24th January 2015, 1:57 PM, Last updated at 3:35 PM, Gaz Jeffries A famous royal has appeared on the cover of a gay magazine. Sadly, it’s not Prince William or Harry – but King Felipe VI of Spain – who became monarch in the country in June 2014, after the abdication of his father Juan Carlos I. The Spanish King appears on the cover of a special edition of gay magazine Ragap, under the heading: “The first Head of State in Spain to listen to the LGBT community”. The magazine continues: “He is part of a generation that has lived through the persecution of LGBT people and the hammer-blow of HIV, to the beginning of the first collective movements of activism, Pride marches, the germination of gay culture and tourism with Maspalomas, Torremolinos, Sitges and Chueca, and finally the legalization of gay marriage. “However, there is still much to do, and Felipe VI faces a great challenge. “For the moment, he is off to a good start. The first official reception for the Monarchy, in which their Majesties invited representatives of civil society, marked a turning point in the approach of the King to the campaigners defending LGBT rights: for the first time, a head of state in Spain listened to demands of activists against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.” Paco Ramirez of rights group COLEGAS said: “We believe that it’s the first nod to the LGBT community on the part of the new King and Queen, in the wake of the message from His Majesty Felipe VI from a ‘Monarchy renewed for a new time’. “We believe that recognising the social progress and the diversity of our society can promote a new more modern Spain, diverse and prosperous, where we are all represented, many of us citizens, who up until now, thought we’d been forgotten or ignored.”

I have posed for pictures shrouded in gauze, wearing a dinosaur mask and shaded into a Hitchcockian silhouette. My face has been obscured by giant wineglasses, beer steins, menus, stacked dim sum steamers, Wheaties boxes, a Thomas the Tank Engine and a perforated tortilla. My Facebook profile picture is of a Jonagold apple. I have appeared on some television shows hidden behind a potted plant and on others with my face pixelated as if I were in the witness protection program. I regularly decline magazine profiles, corporate speaking gigs and reality show appearances. I once walked backward from a lectern after winning an award because I was afraid of being photographed. I have OpenTable accounts under many different names, a habit of paying bills — even large ones — in cash and a burner phone account, all in an attempt to keep my identity a secret from the chefs and staffs of restaurants I have reviewed. But my identity is not secret. I have been charmed into posing for a thousand food-festival selfies. A hundred waiters know my name. I have been called out in taquería lines from Pacoima to Bell Gardens. At chic restaurants, chefs nervously avoid my gaze. When he spotted me eating dinner, a Las Vegas maître d' once physically moved the table at which I was sitting from its cozy niche behind a pillar to a more glamorous spot in the middle of the room. I have become adept at pretending not to notice that a restaurant staff is pretending not to notice me noticing them noticing me.

Hell hath no fury, apparently, like a male conservative who feels betrayed when a GOP woman disagrees with him I never thought I’d be spurred to defend GOP Rep. Renee Ellmers, but the misogyny coming from the right, in the wake of her helping torpedo the 20-week abortion ban, is appalling. The boys over at Red State are leading the charge, with sexually insecure sad sack Erick Erickson calling her “the GOP’s Abortion Barbie” (his sick nickname for Wendy Davis) and now another Red Stater, Aaron Gardner, asking “Is Renee Ellmers worthy of life?” In a country where abortion providers have been murdered and clinics bombed, that’s a particularly ugly provocation. Gardner justifies his threatening question by explaining he’s the product of rape – his biological grandfather apparently raped his grandmother — and that the rape exemption to the abortion ban that Ellmers supports somehow makes the case that he’s not worthy of life. Tell me why you are worthy of this life you have been given, Representative. It might seem like an unreasonable request, I am sure that many will find it impolite…But when the pro aborts call me an extremist, when they say, “exceptions for rape”, I hear, “you are not worthy of life.” I feel compelled to justify myself and explain that it isn’t extreme to defend one’s own existence. So the staunchly antiabortion Ellmers is transformed into a “pro-abort” through the magic of male hysteria. This is a particular kind of paranoia and narcissism that should get Gardner into therapy, not on the front page of RedState (where they’re also calling Hillary Clinton “an elderly unaccomplished crone,” by the way, but we’re used to the anti-Democrat misogyny.) Now, Ellmers has been reliably right-wing and anti-women most of the time, leading the charge against the Affordable Care Act’s mandating that insurance policies cover pregnancy-related healthcare with the memorable war cry: “Has a man ever delivered a baby?” As I noted at the time, you might think that was the opening salvo in a defense of sharing the costs of childbearing, but no, it was a defense of protecting men, and essentially returning to the days when being a woman was a preexisting condition.

High school was a journey into pain and misery for me. It was never about the education but about the extreme social exclusion I experienced. In a school where the majority of the students were Tamil, or of Indian/pakistani/middle eastern background, I was bullied mercilessly. People did some pretty mean thing s to me and my self-esteem was almost non-existent by the end of high school. I constantly thought of suicide. And looking back, man, those were dark years.

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

John W. "Jack" Hinson, "Old Jack" (1807–1874) was a farmer in Stewart County, Tennessee who operated as a Confederate partisan sniper against Union forces in the Between-the-Rivers region of Tennessee and Kentucky during the American Civil War. Hinson, a prosperous plantation owner of Scotch-Irish descent, was neutral at the outbreak of the war but took up arms after two of his sons were executed as suspected bushwhackers by Federal troops; their heads were cut off and stuck on the gate-posts to Hinson's home.[1] Hinson used a custom made 50 caliber 41-inch barrel Kentucky Long Rifle to target Union soldiers more than a half-mile away on land, transports, and gunboats along the Tennessee River and the Cumberland River, killing as many as a hundred. Hinson also served as a guide for Nathan Bedford Forrest in his assault on the Union supply center at Johnsonville, Tennessee in November 1864. He was the father of Robert Hinson, who served as the leader of a highly effective partisan band in the Between-the-Rivers region until his death in combat on September 18, 1863. Jack Hinson was never apprehended despite the commitment of elements of four Union regiments to pursue him, and survived the war, dying on 28 April 1874 (according to the 16 May 1874 Clarkville Weekly Chronicle, via the Dover Record) in the White Oak/Magnolia area of Houston county, Tennessee. He is buried in the family plot in the Cane Creek Cemetery (with a different birth year of 1793 and death year of 1873), just off White Oak road (near McKinnon, Tennessee). A marker was placed in the Boyd Cemetery far away to the North, in the Land-Between-the Lakes (LBL) area.

I have tried to get along, give love (see below attachment) but you queens are so very full of hate. there is just no winning. I have shared tidbits of my glamorous life, a life that i would guess none of you have ever even sampled on vacation. so it was a hard decision as I sit here in my architecturally significant home just above the sunset strip, where leo , keanu , harvey, halle, richard s. and much much more are my neighbors, all i wanted was to share my vast superior knowledge about life , how it works, but i have been shut down and daily given high dosages of hate. why even my very very private view into the most exclusive country club , i gave to you thankless drudges of society as sort of a xmas gift, that too was made fun of and even to this day is referenced and picked apart. well, DONE DONE DONE. several other sites i post on , which i will not name for fear you flock of losers will head over there, well, they have begged me and finally you trannies and queens have pushed too far. and I AM GOING. AND ITS WAY TOO LATE FOR ME TO CHANGE MY MIND. MISS ME AS YOU MAY, THIS SHIP HAS SAILED. THE FAT LADY HAS SUNG, THE BARN DOOR IS CLOSED..........ITS 0-V-E-R......
'Each decade has specific requirements,' she explained, noting that some of the most valuable advice she ever received came from fashion designer Carolina Herrera, 74. 'She was at my house one day, and we were all eating popovers,' recalled Ms Stewart. 'She asked if we knew that no matter your age, your waist should measure the same as your head.' Ms Stewart said she and her guests promptly proceeded to measure themselves, only to discover that the designer was the only person in the group whose measurements fit the rule. 'It is absolutely the truth,' she explained .

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — The winds of political change are coursing through austerity-weary Greece, but a financial whirlwind may lurk round the corner. Opinion polls ahead of Sunday's closely-watched national election agree: The radical left opposition Syriza party, which has vowed to rewrite the terms of Greece's international bailout, is poised to defeat Prime Minister Antonis Samaras' conservatives. To govern — in a historic first for the Greek left — it may need the backing of a smaller party, but most seem willing to oblige. "I want this government to go. It has disappointed me," said Babis Limnaios, 41, an Athens electrician who last voted in 2004 for the conservatives but will now back Syriza. "I want them to change everything — tax, health care, education." Communist-rooted Syriza has alarmed markets and investors with its talk of massive debt forgiveness and riding roughshod over the bailout deals. But the mood is less fraught than in the last national election in 2012, when many saw a Syriza victory as a precursor to a possible Greek exit from the eurozone, the 19 nations that now share the euro currency. For one, Greece's European partners are less exposed to fallout from a Greek financial collapse. The eurozone has a bailout fund and the European Central Bank has committed to buy the bonds of troubled countries, if needed. And despite erratic bombshells from some Syrizan officials — one candidate suggested printing euros if push comes to shove — the party is straining to play up its mainstream, Eurocentric aspects. Still, Greece's next government faces an enormous to-do list. It must consolidate reforms, keep running balanced budgets, strengthen weak growth after a six-year recession, conclude frozen talks with bailout inspectors to secure a 7.2-billion-euro ($8.1 billion) loan tranche and negotiate further relief for its bloated, 320-billion-euro ($359 billion) debt. Creditors insist Athens must honor its bailout commitments if it is to receive continued support. If things go wrong, Greece could again face default — despite its 240-billion-euro ($269 billion) bailout and years of belt-tightening — and find its eurozone membership untenable. Samaras, whose New Democracy party governed since May 2012 in a coalition with its Socialist former archrivals, has promised some tax relief, saying economic growth and investment will gradually reduce unemployment. He was forced to call Sunday's vote to end an impasse over the election of Greece's new president. Syriza's 40-year-old leader, Alexis Tsipras — a former Communist youth member — favors a radical approach: Writing off most of Greece's debt, a burden he describes as "not just unbearable, it objectively cannot be repaid." Tsipras voiced confidence Friday that he can strike a "viable, mutually acceptable and beneficial" deal with creditors by the end of June, after which Greece will need to pay maturing bonds worth more than 10 billion euros that are held by the ECB. Syriza wants to ditch primary surplus targets, while still pursuing a balance between non-debt-related spending and revenues. It proposes to restore the minimum monthly salary from 586 to 751 euros ($657 to $842), provide free power and food coupons to 300,000 households, raise the tax-free income threshold from 5,000 to 12,000 euros ($13,500), reverse public sector firings and liberalize labor laws. Greece's electoral system gives a 50-seat boost to the first party, making it effectively impossible for the runner-up to form a coalition if the winner fails. In a deeply polarized campaign, the conservatives have demonized Syriza, stoking middle class fears of bankruptcy and a return to the old drachma currency. "The only thing they haven't said so far is that, if Syriza wins, it will round up your children and seize your women," Tsipras joked. But the invective doesn't seem to be working. Opinion polls published on the last day of campaigning showed Syriza increasing its lead, with five surveys giving Tsipras an advantage of between 5.2 and 6.7 percentage points — a gain of about 2 points in a week. In the name of national salvation, Greeks have suffered five years of gruesomely high unemployment, during which the economy shrank by a quarter and average incomes by a third. Jobs, where available, are mostly underpaid or part-time, offering no social security or prospects for advancement. Health care services have deteriorated, pensions have been slashed, and most apartment blocks lack central heating because so many residents can't pay. Meanwhile, the average tax burden has multiplied. The final straw was last year's decision to make permanent a hated new property tax. That hurts, because for decades ordinary Greeks had invested in real estate. Since 2009, however, market prices — but not taxable values — have dropped 40 percent and rents have shrunk. Cinema production electrician Gerasimos Soulis said he would vote for Syriza but without great conviction in its ability to enact change. "Jobs have opened, but they're not jobs. It's like you're making pocket money," he said. "We are trying with a third of the money to do what we used to do. And we're happy that we now have a third, because they made us grow accustomed to having nothing." What remains doubtful is whether Syriza will secure the minimum 151 seats in Greece's 300-member parliament that it needs to govern alone. If not, it must look for a partner from a smaller party. Tsipras said Friday that he is "one step" away from an absolute majority, which would spare him an alliance with "the forces of yesterday, which have every reason to want to trip Syriza up after the election." But he indicated that he would compromise, if needed, to avoid a second election a month later. With the politically untouchable, Nazi-inspired Golden Dawn party, whose leadership is in jail awaiting trial for running a criminal organization, and the Communist Party — which refuses to cooperate with anyone — out of the picture, possible partners include the new, centrist but untried Potami (River) party or the once-formidable PASOK Socialists. Friday's polls suggested Golden Dawn has made late gains and is challenging Potami for third place. A third option for Syriza could be governing with the populist right-wing Independent Greeks, who agree with Syriza on need to end the austerity but disagree on about everything else.

The 20s have started roaring, and Lady Violet and Isobel Crawley's set off together on a series of road trips to do charity work and gossip with distant cousins. But it seems that in every town they visit, murder is afoot! Between Violet's sharp-eyed observations and Isobel's sensitive intuition, they solve the case with time to spare for trading barbs and sharing high tea. DA regulars show up in guest star spots here and there. Pitch your favorite episode idea!
There is an extremely strong, acrid smell that comes into my apartment. Quite frequently. It has a chemical/vinegar smell. And it happens at night and even really late at night. Not during the day that I've noticed when I am here. It comes and goes so I don't think it's anything inside my apartment. But then I read that meth doesn't really have much of an odor? Anyone experienced with it that could let me know? TIA

Sat Jan 24, 2015 at 03:00 PM PST Rick Santorum sorry for all that 'crazy stuff' he said by HunterFollow for Daily Kos As Rick Santorum contemplates whether or not he will again run for president, he looks back on on all that "crazy stuff" he said: [quote]Santorum's campaign in 2012 was largely defined by his anti-abortion stances and statements regarding contraception and other "crazy stuff that doesn't have anything to do with anything" as Santorum put it. He blamed himself for opening his mouth and saying "dumb things." Wait, did he just yadda-yadda away his own radical anti-abortion, anti-contraception, anti-gays, anti-everything stance? Now that's a reinvention. And he's reinventing himself as an anti-poverty crusader—like Mitt Romney—and otherwise hopefully more-boring person. [quote]Santorum discussed many of the same topics as Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Dr. Ben Carson, also potential presidential candidates who attended the conference. He decried the Affordable Care Act and Common Core educational standards, an issue that has become central to many conservatives' concerns, and said that President Obama needs to "define" ISIS and other elements committing terrorist acts as Islamic fascists or Islamic extremists. Here's the problem, though: Republicans don't need another one of those candidates. They've got plenty. They've got dozens. They've got them stacked like cordwood in all the various states, just in case there is a sudden shortage of conservatives who don't like Common Core or the Affordable Care Act or how Obama "defines" ISIS and they need to summon up replacements on short notice. No, I don't think Rick Santorum 2.0 will be happening, or if it does that it will get very far. It's a shame, but it is what it is, and if you take the creepy sermonizing out of Rick Santorum you're left with Reince Priebus in a sweater vest.

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.

He is one of the most fit and athletic teens I know but he REFUSES to eat right. He plays a lot of sports (football, baseball, wrestling, soccer) and he's in incredible shape, but all he eats is junk food, pizza, burgers and fries. After practice he comes home all sweaty and pumped up, but he just wants to stuff his face with garbage that has no nutritional value. He's lean with a very cut physique now; broad shoulders that taper to a very thin waist, arms bulging with new muscles, thick thighs and taut calves comprising his coltish young legs, and a downy line of hair trailing from his 8-pack to the briefs he wears around the house, which barely conceal his cut cock (which has apparently also filled out since I stopped babysitting!)....where was I? Oh that's right, I worry what toll these eating habits will have on his bod--I mean, him, on him, later. He's had the most remarkable growth spurt in the last 18 months, but now that he's fully developed (almost more man than boy) I'm worried he'll put on weight. I asked my sister what her plan was to change things. She said, "Don't you remember being a teen?" Uh, yeah, we didn't have microwave meals or drive-thrus, and our father would have never allowed me to gain weight; he always said he liked his boys "trim and fit," and I agree. Dad, my uncles and their friends always preferred fit teens with toned bodies. I didn't pursue it after her comment. I know it is not my place to parent him or ask. But I will ask you: How can a good uncle motivate a really fit and athletic teen to ingest more protein and consider some vitamin-packed liquid supplements? I've offered repeatedly to share my special "fitness tips" with him, but he just backs away slowly and retreats into his room, always looking the door on me. What gives?

Ever since Edward Snowden handed thousands of National Security Agency documents over to filmmaker Laura Poitras and writer Glenn Greenwald in a Hong Kong hotel room, the NSA’s mass surveillance of domestic phone calls and Internet traffic has been widely compared to the abuses of East Germany’s secret police, the Stasi. The communist republic may have imploded in 1989, but it has nonetheless become synonymous with a smothering, all-knowing spy apparatus. A year ago, President Obama cited East Germany as a “cautionary tale of what could happen when vast, unchecked surveillance turned citizens into informers and persecuted people for what they said in the privacy of their own homes.” He was responding to accusations that just such a vast, unchecked effort to collect data has metastasized on his watch. It was no coincidence that Poitras chose Leipzig, a city in the heart of the former East Germany, for the recent German debut of her documentary, Citizenfour, about Snowden and the NSA. “If the government is doing that kind of surveillance, it has a corrosive effect on democracy and society,” Poitras said after the premiere. “People who lived through it can tell you what it was like.”

Was there a part of the country where the radio was considered to be especially good? I seem to remember that, surprisingly, radio in NYC was not considered to be especially good.

It was from a female vocalist, it was a mid-tempo love song and her voice was on the higher side. The only lyric I remember is "in the morning..." I know it's not much to go on, but Googling "In the morning" doesn't help because that wasn't necessarily the name of the song and it is not the Diana Ross song I am referring to here. It wasn't a big hit, so I think only older disco fans from the era will remember it. I don't think it was Carol Douglas either.

Let's keep it 100, most guys are going to keep you at arms length once they figure out your sexuality. Now I'm not super feminine, but after talking to me, you can kinda feel me out and get the idea that I'm gay. I really felt like I was developing a friendship with this guy in Bio lab, but lately, I'm noticing that he keeps his distance. For instance, I'll try and engage him and ask him about the lecture and he responds with short sentences. When I first met him, he was so chit-chatty, but now I'm lucky if he gives me a head nod. I have a theory that once he added me on Facebook, he saw the "interested in men" on my page, so it probably freaked him out. I just wish guys could let their guard down around gay dudes, because most of us are chill and have good intentions, but society tells guys my age to avoid the "gay". I hate having to settle being friends with just females. Most chicks think that because you're gay, you wanna hear about all their "girly" problems, but that shit is boring to me. Before I came out, I used to have a gang of straight guy friends, but now that I'm out, it's weird seeing how my social circle was forced to change.
Yeah, we all know Shannen and Alyssa hated each other, but how did everyone else get along? Julian McMahon was still dating Shannen even after she'd been booted. Did that create any tension on set? What about when Alyssa and Brian Krause were dating and then broke up? Or when Brian got downgraded in the last season due to budget cuts? He couldn't have been happy to still be there. How did Holly feel towards Alyssa for getting her bff Shannen fired? And how did Rose McGowan get along with everyone? Was she bitter that the other girls were getting more money and producer credits and she never got any of that even by the end of the show? There was a BI reveal recently that said she refused to sign photos that had her co-stars in them, so there had to have at least been some tension with them on set.

"People may say 'this guy’s a fascist' but you can take positivity from watching him," says retired boxer Mike Tyson has claimed that he was inspired by Italian dictator Benito Mussolini on the rap he recorded for Madonna's new album Retired boxer Tyson appears on the 'Rebel Heart' song 'Iconic' alongside Chance The Rapper. The official tracklist to 'Rebel Heart' was released on iTunes earlier this week. The album also features a collaboration with Nas entitled 'Veni Vedi Vici' and one with Nicki Minaj called 'Bitch I'm Madonna'. As previously reported, Madonna has also worked with Avicii and Diplo on the record. Speaking to Roling Stone in a new interview about his surprising role in the forthcoming record, Tyson revealed the unlikely inspiration. "When I did it, I think about being some guy like [Benito] Mussolini and they’re really arrogant, but you try to come from a positive perspective and be uplifting," he said. "You watch Mussolini on television — even though we don’t understand what he’s saying — he is so mesmerising. I look at myself in that way." Addressing Mussolini's reputation, he added: "I know people may say, 'This guy’s a fascist' and all this stuff, but man, you can take positivity from watching him. No wonder why Hitler was attracted to him. This guy's a hypnotic figure. There's so much pride behind what he's saying. I'm not even Italian and I feel the pride he's projecting. He had that street swag; he was doing this stuff with his hands and moving his head before it was even hip-hop." Madonna is due to release 'Rebel Heart', the follow up to 2012's 'MDNA', on March 9. On Christmas Day, 14 tracks supposedly taken from the record were leaked, while six unfinished demos were previously released without the singer's consent earlier in 2014. Yesterday, it was reported that Israe1i police had arrested a 39-year-old man suspected of hacking into Madonna's computer and leaking her new album. The arrest was made following a month-long investigation by the cyber crime unit of Israe1's Lahav 433 branch (an organisation comparable to the FBI) and a private investigation firm.

I only know a handful of people who are financially successful. All of them gave up something to be so. One lady hasn't lived in the same city for more than a couple of years and has moved numerous times over the last 20 years, always pursuing higher paying jobs. An older man never married and at 66 is alone. A younger guy works about 80 hours a week and even though he's married and has a few kids, he never sees them. These are a few examples and I know they aren't the rule but it seems that people who have a lot of money had to give something up. I take care of my parents--cooking, cleaning, shopping, doctors appointments, etc. I can do all this because I only work 10-15 hours a week. I was offered a job where I'll be working 40-50 hours a week and making more in a week after taxes than I ever did in a month before taxes. Problem is I'll have to pretty much abandon my parents to take the job. I have sisters who refuse to lift a finger to help with our parents, so the responsibility is left to me. I love taking care of my parents and I'm terrified of leaving them alone for long stretches. But at 44 I have no savings, no retirement fund and no future if I continue like I am.

Bill Gates believes that a vaccine and new intensive drugs to combat HIV should be available by 2030 and end most new cases of the virus that has killed millions in the past three decades. The Microsoft founder, whose philanthropic foundation spends tens of millions of dollars on medical research, told the World Economic Forum in Davos that the two “miracles” were within reach. “We’re pretty optimistic in this 15-year period we will get those two new tools,” he said.

Pretty good Prohibition/shoot 'em up movie. Fantastic cast (Tom Hardy, Jessica Chastain, Guy Pearce, Gary Oldman) but MY GOD is Shia LaBeouf annoying in this. I kept on wishing for his character to die.
The best foreign language prize remains as baffling as ever. But what about Blue is the Warmest Colour? Here we go again. Every year, as autumn looms, we consider the puzzle that is the Oscar for best foreign language picture. As you will probably be aware, each country is only allowed to enter one film. The list is then whittled down to manageable proportions for those voting members courageous enough to sit through a film in a language that is not their own. Sometimes the movie picks itself. On other occasions, the film should pick itself, but ends up being shuffled aside for some less troubling, more digestible baloney. It’s hard to know quite what’s happened here. The French authorities have decided to go with Bertrand Bonello’s indifferently received Saint Laurent. There’s is no real chance that the picture could win. It would be faintly remarkable if it managed to pick up a nomination. Now, you might reasonably argue that this has not been a spectacularly fine year for French cinema. But there is another elephant in the room that has not been addressed. What about Abdellatif Kechiche’s Blue is the Warmest Colour? Stay with me, here. Yes, that film won the Palme d’Or at Cannes close to a year and a half ago. But, as it was released later than October in its home country, it failed to qualify for the 2014 ceremony. Remember that The Hunt, which opened at Cannes way back in 2012, was a nominee in this year’s foreign-language category. So, the French could have picked the searing lesbian romance. This, despite the fact that Blue was eligible for all other prizes this year. It would have been entirely possible (I think) for Adèle Exarchopoulos to be nominated as best actress this year and for the film to compete in best foreign language picture 12 months later. Anyway, the French didn’t pick the thing. Our money is on the Dardennes brothers — selected by Belgium for Two Days, One Night — to take their first Oscar. Though we’d prefer to see Xavier Dolan’s Quebecois drama Mommy do the business. It seems that the French language may triumph even if the nation itself does not. They may as well have retained their honour and picked the bloody Godard film.
An American teenager who conspired to join Isis in Syria was sentenced to prison for four years yesterday. Shannon Maureen Conley, 19, from Denver in Colorado, pleaded guilty in September to one count of conspiracy to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organisation. Conley – who planned to work as a nurse’s aide and said she would engage in battle if she had to – wanted to marry a man she met online who told her he was fighting with Isis, FBI agents claim. She told the judge that she was misled on what Islam is about and claimed she only learnt about the atrocities Isis inflicted in the Middle East after her arrest. Conley, who was arrested in April last year as she boarded a plane on a journey to Syria via Turkey, said: “I am glad I have learned of their true identity here and not on the front lines. “I disavow these radical views I’ve come to know and I now believe in the true Islam in which peace is encouraged.” Judge Raymond Moore said he doubted her views had changed, and advised her to seek psychological help.

Unlike "Transparent," which to me is completely overpraised (except for Jeffrey Tambor's performance), Mozart ITJ is a real comedy--very charming, original, well-acted, well-directed (a bit uneven in later episodes) with a wonderful cast--Gael Garcia Bernal as the hot young Latino sensation of the conducting world (obviously based on Gustavo Dudamel). Bernadette Peters (yes!) is the orchestra administrator/fundraiser for the "New York Symphony" (obviously NY Phil), Malcolm McDowell is the just fired former conductor. Young female oboist lead, Lola Kirke, is very winning. Fundraising parties in the Hamptons (orchestra members only eat tuna sandwiches in the kitchen)! Young male ballet dancers at the parties! Hot sex in the orchestra pit! (I made that up--close though). I loved this show--instantly addicting. Any other fans here? (and no, I am not a paid PR shill!)

The creator of Queer as Folk, Russell T Davies, has two new gay-themed shows called Cucumber and Banana. There's a 3rd webisode thing called Tofu. Has anyone else seen them? I thought Banana was much better and very funny - Freddie Fox was great. I appreciate that Cucumber is telling a story about an older gay man, which is hardly ever done. But the main character is such a complete asshole that it's hard to see why we're supposed to give a fuck. The lead actor and the guy playing his partner also had zero chemistry, and the speech about Ryan Reynolds's cock was creepy. It did have some funny moments (the waiter with the tumblr cumshot video) and I will keep with it for now, but it felt tonally inconsistent.

The roving news correspondent worked his sources in Paris for days, with nary a chance to eat. His efforts paid off, with a couple of exclusive interviews with interesting people affected by the tragic Charlie Hebdo murders. Next he had to prepare to meet with whistleblowers in the United States who were ready to slip him damning details about the way the nation’s government treats its veterans. Was it CNN’s Anderson Cooper? CBS’ Scott Pelley? ABC’s David Muir? No, this was Ronan Farrow. His goal is to travel to places where big stories erupt, then find underreported facets, like discovering individuals whose lives have been changed by the news.

It's such a great film, but it has a lot of problems in it. The "Crazy Veil" sequence is beautiful but it stops the whole movie cold. The "Gotta Dance" sequence is great, but it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever how it could possibly be interpolated into "The Duelling Cavalier" (and it has nothing to do with the rest of the wider movie). Worst of all, Lina seems punished too cruelly at the very end, and yet she always gives audiences more pleasure than anyone else in the film. But you can forgive it everything for its great musical numbers and its brilliant dialogue ("If we can bring a little joy into your humdrum little lives, then all our hard work ain't been in vain for nothin'").
People thought I was either having a seizure or a stroke. Instead it was dystonia, which was brought on by a medication I took. If you don't know what dystonia is: [quote]Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder, in which sustained muscle contractions cause twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal postures. The movements may resemble a tremor. Dystonia is often initiated or worsened by voluntary movements, and symptoms may “overflow” into adjacent muscles. I was found on my bed acting like a possessed 12-year-old Linda Blair. It got to the point where I couldn't control my jaw, and I could no longer swallow. My head kept rocking side to side into the mattress. My body looked like a craftmatic bed. My legs and my head were almost hitting one another. I'm all bruised from my arm constantly bashing itself into the wooden footboard. I loved being strapped down when they took me out to drive me to the hospital. I had been having problems before with falling due to dizziness. That should have been a sign, I guess. Has anyone dealt with dystonia, or know someone who has? Mine was from medication, but others have it chronically.

I am a person of color and I often feel useless and often a basket case. I have a problem where I only find white people physically attractive. I am sure at some point most people of color have gone through this. How did you deal with it? How should I go about solving this problem. Try as I might, I am only attracted to white guys. I think this has to do mostly with my upbringing and the high school I went to.

I'm a bad gay. It took me decades to finally watch this 1954 movie musical. There are some great dance sequences, Howard Keel is the manliest man I've ever seen onscreen, and Russ Tamblyn is adorable. But it's an odd feeling watching this movie with 2015 eyes. Apparently the message is that Abduction of Women + Time = True Love.

By Matt Taibbi I saw American Sniper last night, and hated it slightly less than I expected to. Like most Clint Eastwood movies – and I like Clint Eastwood movies for the most part – it's a simple, well-lit little fairy tale with the nutritional value of a fortune cookie that serves up a neatly-arranged helping of cheers and tears for target audiences, and panics at the thought of embracing more than one or two ideas at any time. It's usually silly to get upset about the self-righteous way Hollywood moviemakers routinely turn serious subjects into baby food. Film-industry people angrily reject the notion that their movies have to be about anything (except things like "character" and "narrative" and "arc," subjects they can talk about endlessly). This is the same Hollywood culture that turned the horror and divisiveness of the Vietnam War era into a movie about a platitude-spewing doofus with leg braces who in the face of terrible moral choices eats chocolates and plays Ping-Pong. The message of Forrest Gump was that if you think about the hard stuff too much, you'll either get AIDS or lose your legs. Meanwhile, the hero is the idiot who just shrugs and says "Whatever!" whenever his country asks him to do something crazy. Forrest Gump pulled in over half a billion and won Best Picture. So what exactly should we have expected from American Sniper? Not much. But even by the low low standards of this business, it still manages to sink to a new depth or two. The thing is, the mere act of trying to make a typically Hollywoodian one-note fairy tale set in the middle of the insane moral morass that is/was the Iraq occupation is both dumber and more arrogant than anything George Bush or even Dick Cheney ever tried. No one expected 20 minutes of backstory about the failed WMD search, Abu Ghraib, or the myriad other American atrocities and quick-trigger bombings that helped fuel the rise of ISIL and other groups. But to turn the Iraq war into a saccharine, almost PG-rated two-hour cinematic diversion about a killing machine with a heart of gold (is there any film theme more perfectly 2015-America than that?) who slowly, very slowly, starts to feel bad after shooting enough women and children – Gump notwithstanding, that was a hard one to see coming. Sniper is a movie whose politics are so ludicrous and idiotic that under normal circumstances it would be beneath criticism. The only thing that forces us to take it seriously is the extraordinary fact that an almost exactly similar worldview consumed the walnut-sized mind of the president who got us into the war in question. It's the fact that the movie is popular, and actually makes sense to so many people, that's the problem. "American Sniper has the look of a bona fide cultural phenomenon!" gushed Brandon Griggs of CNN, noting the film's record $105 million opening-week box office. Griggs added, in a review that must make Eastwood swell with pride, that the root of the film's success is that "it's about a real person," and "it's a human story, not a political one." Well done, Clint! You made a movie about mass-bloodshed in Iraq that critics pronounced not political! That's as Hollywood as Hollywood gets. The characters in Eastwood's movies almost always wear white and black hats or their equivalents, so you know at all times who's the good guy on the one hand, and whose exploding head we're to applaud on the other. In this case that effect is often literal, with "hero" sniper Chris Kyle's "sinister" opposite Mustafa permanently dressed in black (with accompanying evil black pirate-stubble) throughout. Eastwood, who surely knows better, indulges in countless crass stupidities in the movie. There's the obligatory somber scene of shirtless buffed-up SEAL Kyle and his heartthrob wife Sienna Miller gasping at the televised horror of the 9/11 attacks. Next thing you know, Kyle is in Iraq actually fighting al-Qaeda – as if there was some logical connection between 9/11 and Iraq.

I wonder if he's ever had the man up in the man?
I'll start.
I went to high school with Jeff Kathrein. He is still married to Ana Sandman. They were together off and on through all of their high school years during the '90s. They graduated in '99. I don't even know if Jeff comes from a Scientology family or not, but at least one of his sisters did end up joining Sea Org for awhile. Ana was born and raised in Scientology. Her mother and stepfather worked at Delphi. Jeff was as straight as they came. He and Ana were the golden couple of Delphi. Jeff was on every varsity sports team at the Delphian School. Yes, he did theatre and choir, but he mainly did that as an activity to be with his girlfriend, as far as I know. He was certainly not what you'd call a theatre or choir geek. If anything, I'd say that he joined the choir reluctantly. He certainly wasn't one of the more exceptional singers. He played the ship captain in Anything Goes (Ana played one of Reno's Angels), and if I remember correctly, he and Ana played Lysander and Hermia in A Midsummer Night's Dream. I think he also played Mr. Bennett in Pride and Prejudice (Ana played Jane), if my memory is correct. After Ana and Jeff graduated Delphi in 1999, the story I heard was that they broke up when Ana joined the Sea Org. Jeff wouldn't join (he still moved down to LA, but he's originally from Nebraska). Ana ended up leaving the Sea Org because she missed Jeff. When I returned to Delphi for Alumni Weekend in 2003, I was happy to learn that John Travolta had hired them to be nannies to their children. Of course, a young, pretty Scientology couple like them would be hired by the Travoltas. But when I saw that picture of John Travolta and Jeff kissing in the National Enquirer, I was SHOCKED. I couldn't believe it, and I still can't believe it, to this day! It had to have been Photoshopped, or taken at a bad angle. From what I can tell, Jeff and Ana are living in Clearwater, FL and have their own wedding photography business. They also have two children. I don't see any evidence of them working for the Travoltas anymore. If I ever knew a pair of soul mates, it would be Jeff and Ana. They've been together since they were fourteen/fifteen! Now they're in their mid-thirties. I believe that John Travolta is gay, but I just can't believe that Jeff would put out for him! That sounds so disgusting! I can't even imagine Jeff and Ana being in foursomes with John and Kelly!

What is up with this guy? He claims to be gay but likes sleeping with women, and only says he's gay because he doesn't wanna marry a woman (for now), and didn't manage to fulfill his dream of getting a girl pregnant as a teenager. He also makes disparaging comments about bottoms as being "too gay", puts down his boyfriend and goes on and on about how great women are. Bisexuals are weird, but self-hating bisexuals are downright crazy.

No, I don't have a link, but they're talking about it on the muscle service boards. A gym acquaintance of mine dances there occasionally. He doesn't dance at the nude events, but he got the scoop from a dancer who was there last night. Wow, is this the end of Adonis, the heir apparent of the Gaeity?
The contrived writing. The soap opera delivery. The flat-lined stage kisses. I can't wait until the next episode.
They've been letting her bark all night next door and she would pace outside by my bedroom window. I tried earphones and earplugs but it was a shrieking kind of sound, with howling. She was young, part retriever. I guess they were trying to get her to grow up. They're horrible people and I couldn't talk to them. No one else would do anything. People here aren't like that. Eventually someone just would have given her antifreeze of something. So I started tossing raw meatballs over the fence with a tiny amount of my Xanax and Diazepam in them, one each night around 10. It worked fine. But I guess there was a build up of something because Tuesday morning I heard screaming and they had found the dog dead with froth all over its face. The woman came to my door and asked if I had seen anything and then as much as asked if I did something. I said no of course not, I loved Shelly. (I would give her treats and even walked her when she was a puppy a few times before the people got weird) Now she's going all over accusing people. She says they're getting two pit bulls and if anything happens she's going to start civil war. Now I don't know what to do. Should I just go and tell her the truth? It was an accident. I could say I was trying to soothe the dog and it was a terrible mistake. If she gets pit bull they'll be barking all the time and I'll have to move, and I can't afford more rent. I'm afraid they'll hurt my cats, which Shelly never did. I have an understanding with my landlord and I'm worried. Can I be arrested if I confess? All I wanted was some sleep. I know how this sounds, but any ideas will be helpful. Has this ever happened to you?
I always have, since I was a kid. Loved when the daytime talk shows like "Donahue" and "Geraldo" would have them on. Loved when the "exercise" magazines featured male dance troupes. I almost like men wearing almost nothing than nothing at all. I love finding converted to DVD old stripper videos. Yeah, the mes are greasy and long-haired (80s) and often straight (though I don't always believe that every troupe is sooo straight and there are no gay men. Come on.) Weirdly, nowadays it seems like more and more male dancers have their dancers just in small posing straps with a full back. Makes no difference as it's still hot but anybody know why this is?
I was talking late one night over drinks with a straight co-worker - dishing about a 'Bi' guy in our office. "Oh, he's a total Top," said my friend. "He won't suck a dick or take it up the ass. He told me so. He'll cuddle, but won't kiss a guy. No way!" "Well, then he's not gay." "Of course he is! He likes to get ..." "His dick sucked. Yeah. That's not GAY that's being a GUY." So there we have it. We pondered that for a while. Does having a guy suck your dick make you gay? Or are the truly gay guys the ones that actually want and crave cock? I personally think TOPS are frauds.
WOOF!

I'm counting on DL to point out the differences. I've avoided getting involved with bisexual men for years - not for any issue with their own sexual orientation but because, based on my experiences, I've always felt they were different from gay men. But I met a really great guy and we're very attracted to one another. So I thought I'd break my rule and give it a go. We've had a few dates and have a lot of chemistry. I've made it clear that I'm not a bottom, that I'm versatile, that I'm gay and that I'm a grown man. I feel strongly that his sexuality shouldn't define mine in a limiting way. I've been pretty persuasive about the joys of ass play and I haven't been aggressive and have promised to take my time with him, etc. His comfort level is my highest concern. And he has a gorgeous ass. But he's a bit of a tease, a bit coy. He says things like, "If you're lucky, maybe I'll let you do this...," etc. I suppose a certain amount of negotiation is to be expected but it makes think what I've always thought about this equation - bisexual men just want to control everything. Any experience here?

Publicists like to trot out the old "operatically trained" moniker whenever they want to show their singer supposedly has a powerful voice.

What does "operatically trained" really mean? A lesson or two? Sing using your diaphragm?

I'll always be a man who finds only men sexy. But I'm tired of the 'lifestyle': the std's, the social climbing, the shallow relationships, the rainbows and the parades, AIDS and discrimination, ageism. The body nazis, bears, cubs, daddies, twinks... It's like- all bad.
26 August 2013 Last updated at 19:40 ET Gay Pakistan: Where sex is available and relationships are difficult By Mobeen Azhar BBC World Service, Karachi Pakistan is not the kind of place that most people would associate with gay liberation. But some say the country is a great place to be gay - even describing the port city of Karachi as "a gay man's paradise". Underground parties, group sex at shrines and "marriages of convenience" to members of the opposite sex are just some of the surprises that gay Pakistan has to offer. Under its veneer of strict social conformity, the country is bustling with same-sex activity. Danyaal, as he's asked to be known, is a 50-something businessman who lives in an affluent part of Karachi, and uses his smartphone to organise Karachi's gay party scene. "One of the first things I did online, maybe 12 years ago, was type in G - A - Y and hit search. Back then I found a group and made contact with 12 people in this city," he says. "These days there are smartphone apps that use GPS to tell you how close you are to another gay person with an online profile. There are thousands of gay men online in Pakistan at any one time." The party scene is big - so big, he jokes, that he rarely gets time to himself. "If you want sex too, it's a gay man's paradise. If you want a relationship, that may be more difficult." These invitation-only parties are a rare opportunity for gay men to be open about their sexuality. Pakistani society is fiercely patriarchal. Pakistanis are expected to marry a member of the opposite sex, and the vast majority do. The result is a culture of dishonesty and double lives, says researcher Qasim Iqbal. "Gay men will make every effort to stop any investment in a same-sex relationship because they know that one day they will have to get married to a woman," he says. "After getting married they will treat their wives well but they will continue to have sex with other men." Sex between men occurs in some very public places - including, surprisingly, Karachi's busiest shrine. Families go to the Abdullah Shah-Ghazi shrine to honour the holy man buried there and to ask for God's blessings, but it is also Karachi's biggest cruising ground. Every Thursday evening, as the sun sets, men from across the city gather there. A tightly packed circle is formed and those in the centre of the circle are groped by those on the periphery. To outsiders it looks like a writhing mass of men huddling around one another. Some even describe it as a "mysterious religious ceremony". For participants, it's anonymous group sex. This kind of behaviour is, of course, not condoned by Pakistan's religious authorities. Most Pakistanis view homosexuality as sinful. The vast majority of clerics interpret the Qoranic story of Lot as a clear indication that God condemns homosexual men. Some scholars go even further and recommend Sharia-based punishment for "men who have sex with men". The shrine is far from the only place in Karachi where gay sex is freely available. It is, for example, easy to buy from a malchi walah - a masseur who offers massage and "extras" for the equivalent of £5, or $7.80. "We get important people - police, army officers and ministers too," says one masseur, Ahmed. He claims to have slept with more than 3,000 men during his working life - despite having two wives and eight children. One of his wives, Sumera, wears a burka and the niqab, but she has no objection to her husband's chosen profession and wishes more people would keep an open mind. "I know he has sex. No problem. If he doesn't work how will the kids eat? I get angry when people call them names. People are stuck in their ways." Sumera's position may appear surprising, but in fact it's not hard to understand, says Qasim Iqbal. "In Pakistan men are discouraged from having girlfriends and so often, their first sexual experiences will be with male friends or cousins. This is often seen as a part of growing up and it can be overlooked by families - it's the idea that 'boys will be boys'," he says. "Sex between men will be overlooked as long as no-one feels that tradition or religion are being challenged. At the end of it all, everyone gets married to a member of the opposite sex and nothing is spoken about."

My god.
$40k for 9 scenes - around $10k a scene. And if you''re thinking of doing porn and no-one will ever find out, read on...\ \ He''s gay, but says a lot of guys on Sean Cody are straight because the money is so much better than straight porn.
This is *my* definition of a perfect body. Also, the hair on his chest and stomach is perfection. Thanks you Nick!
WWE superstar Darren Young just dropped a bombshell, telling TMZ, he's gay ... and no, this isn't part of the act. Darren was at LAX Wednesday when we asked whether a gay wrestler could succeed in WWE, and Darren laughed, saying, "Absolutely. Look at me. I'm a WWE superstar and to be honest with you, I'll tell you right now, I'm gay. And I'm happy. I'm very happy." For the record, Darren is now the first openly gay wrestler ever at WWE ... and the first headlining wrestler ever to come out while still signed to a major promotion. Other pro wrestlers have been rumored to be gay, but that's it ... just rumors. Bottom line: this is big, big news. For all its chauvinism and testosterone-driven bravado, coming out in WWE is tantamount to coming out in the NFL. Of course, wrestling is a little different, particularly because of how physical it is, and how little clothing is involved -- but Darren is completely unfazed.
I'm in the military and even though DADT was repealed a few months ago, I still never felt compelled to shout it out from the roof tops. This morning, me and a guy I share a cubical with were talking about our social lives. He knows I'm in school in addition to working full time, so he always tries to "counsel" me on how important it is to go out and have fun. I agreed with him and offered up some half-hearted excuses, but as the conversation was winding down he asked if, "I'm in a 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' situation." I laughed nervously and tried to change the subject, but then another co-worker came up and started talking to us about an event tomorrow. When she left, I quietly whispered to my cube-mate that, yes, I'm gay. It was hard to do because I'm so used to pretending I'm straight, but he's a really great guy and I somehow felt safe telling him the truth. Anyway, this happened first thing in the morning and it changed absolutely nothing between us. We carried on like we always do, except after my admission he explained to me that Hispanics aren't as hung up on sexuality as Americans. He went on to passionately argue that Americans insist on self-segregating themselves, by race, sexual preference, gender, etc., whereas people in Hispanic countries tend to socialize based on who they enjoy partying with. His observation was interesting because it hit on something odd about my own situation: I'm only out to 3 of my friends in the military and ALL of them are Hispanic (2 Puerto Rican, 1 Mexican). All of them asked me if I'm gay, and all have been nothing less than supportive. Furthermore, Latinos are always causing my gaydar to give false alerts! Since college, I can't count how many Latino men have seemingly flirted with me or given off gay vibes only to do/say something that made it obviously clear they're straight (especially Spaniards and South Americans!). Has anyone else found Hispanics to be, as a group, unbelievably accepting of homosexuality? I've always thought their devotion to Catholicism encouraged them to be virulently anti-gay, but as I grow older I notice that they tend to be pretty tolerant in most regards.
So fucking hot

1. DO NOT say "I don't like to let other people work in" or "I like to work out by myself" when someone asks you to work in on a machine/bench you're using. DO let the person work in with you. 2. DO NOT change the channel of the TV that's playing in the weight room, especially if it's sports. And certainly don't change it to House Hunters International on HGTV. DO leave it as is, or if you must change it, ask others in the weight room if it's ok and make sure you change it to another sporting event. 3. DO NOT wander aimlessly on the gym floor looking in awe at all the machines and weights, like a flyover tourist staring at all the tall buildings in NYC. I and other gym vets are on a mission at the gym. We know what body part we're there to train and which machines/weights we need to use. You're clueless wandering takes time away from completing that mission. DO come to the gym with a mission each day and a decent idea of how you want to complete that mission. 4. DO NOT stand next to the water fountain and chat with your gurl friend about Lady Gaga or the Beverly Hills housewives. Again, we are on a timed mission, and your blocking the fountain in order to make inane chatter screws up our timing. DO take your stupid conversation somewhere else. 5. DO NOT make mindless chit chat with me or anyone. I don't give a rat's ass that you hate your job or that you got a great deal on your new gym membership for your new year's resolution. I am there to work out, not to hear about your dull, pointless little life. DO not talk to anyone unless it's about weight training and supplements. 6. DO NOT take a flat bench, place it the narrow aisle, and park your ass on it to adjust your ipod settings. This is pure stupidity. Not only is it dangerous, but you're using a bench for a trivial activity that could be used constructively by someone wanting to lift weights. DO stand in the corner if you must play with your ipod. 7. DO NOT lazily leave the weights on the barbell when you're done, or leave dumbbells on the floor to create an obstacle course. DO restock all weights when you're done. 8. DO NOT leave a bench without wiping it down, especially if you're coughing and sneezing all over it. DO take a power towel and the sanitizer provided and wipe down the bench. 9. DO NOT take up a full bench with your belongings in the locker room. Bench space is limited, and hogging a bench is just impolite. DO take a portion for the bench for yourself, leaving some room for another member to place his belongings on. 10. DO NOT stare at me on the gym floor. Yes, I work hard on my body and I understand the need to ogle, but this is a gym, not a bar. Save it for Boxers or the Eagle, or whereever it is you go to meet men. DO subtlely take a few peeks, if you must stare. 11. DO NOT even attempt to have sex with me in in the sauna or steam if you don't have a good body. You've been warned. Again, I work hard on my physique, and I only hook up with guys who are similarly dedicated to their bodies. DO hook up with the other out of shape trolls and leave the hot guys for each other. 12. DO NOT leave your jizz soaked towels on the sauna or steam floor. That's absolutely repulsive and reflects your character. DO toss them in the laundy receptacles when you're done taking care of business. That's what they're there for.
Am I her only DL fanboi? She was smashing as the evil stepmother in the sitcom The Charmings years ago. Most recently, she appeared in the British crime series Vera as the title character's father's girlfriend in an episode to give closure for both of them.
I know most Dlers probably don''t give a shit, but I really wanted to know what are the "best" cities for black and latino gays. Well, "best" is based on the individual, so I guess I''m just asking about pure numbers, bars and nightlife, organizations, etc. Wherever gay blacks and latinos have the most presence.\ \ For Blacks, Not L.A. and San Francisco. So, Atlanta, NYC, DC, Chicago? Maybe Oakland?\ \ Latinos - NYC, Miami?\ \ And, if NYC, then what particular locations?
It's very frustrating as feminine gay woman who is attracted to the same to see these sexually ambivalent women in the bars. Yes, I live in L.A. so they are the minority, but still they ruin the vibe. Especially when they are of the stud variety who come on to ladies like 14 yr old boys! No class, no decorum. THEY SCARE ME!!
Like a tuck driver or mechanic or machine operator or lifting heavy objects? Do your coworkers know you're gay?
Can't decide which is hotter.
Active Duty's new model, "Axl" is sporting a lot of tattoos popular with white supremacist. The popular symbols include: -Celtic Cross -Thor's Hammer -Spider Web -18 44 -NN When advised of their meaning, the owner of Active Duty, "Dink Flamingo" said the model is not a white supremacist, just naive (in other words...young, dumb and full of cum.) When Flamingo was asked to stop promoting the model with the offensive tattoo's he simply said 'no." $Cha ching$
Military themed gay porn site, Active Duty, has gone White Power.
I can't figure it out. It's not that we need someone to do actual heavy lifting for us, or to physically protect me. All muscles really mean is that someone is physically disciplined for a long period of time and has enough leisure time to go regularly to the gym.
Still no homo.
Here we go.
Here is an ad that want''s to blow his wad on you while you''re sitting in your car or he wants to find you in a restroom to blow his load on you.\ \ As soon as he can find a restroom, that is.\ \ The poor thing is from Alliance, Ohio.
Argentina has gay marriage, as do parts of Brazil and Mexico, and I hear Colombians have come a long way, with most people in Bogota favoring gay marriage, though they don''t have it yet? %0D\ %0D\ What country in Latin America would be most welcoming overall?
As a gay man, would you be able to stand sharing a place with a hot straight guy? Would you be able to put aside your attraction to him, or would it drive you crazy? For example, would you be able to withstand the site of seeing him in his underwear, smelling his manly scent wafting through the air, seeing him get out of the shower naked etc. ? Or would it be such a constant sexual distraction that it would disrupt you from being able to concentrate on your job, own life etc.?
