Wonder if Kenny and Tom were bidding… LOS ANGELES (Feb. 22) – Tom Gregory just spent more than $100,000 on two used cowboy shirts. And he couldn’t be happier. The shirts are the ones worn by the ill-fated lovers, played by Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, in Oscar front-runner “Brokeback Mountain.” The shirts that represent…

Sex with a partner is 400% better
Sometimes it is more than 400%….. LOVERS know only too well that men usually need a “recovery period” after orgasm, and that sexual intercourse with orgasm is more satisfying than an orgasm from masturbation alone. Now scientists think the two phenomena might be linked. Following orgasm, the hormone prolactin is released into the bloodstream in…
Christians massacre Muslims , death toll 'at least 80'
Wow…it’s a good thing we have religion to give us an excuse to hack each other apart with machetes. Funny, how you never hear about a bunch of Scientologists being slain by a horde of Sub-Genii.. cd At least 80 people were killed when Christians turned on Muslims living among them in a southern Nigeria…
Shit! Thieves Steal $100,000 Of Equipment From Sewage Plant
In Hawai’i we live so close to each other that I hear my neighbors blowing their nose while I watch a movie in my house. Yet, someone can take a forklift and steal a 2000 pound piece of equipment with no one seeing them? Bullshit! This is the way Hawai’i works. A three year delay…
It begins: South Dakota passes
Well folks, this is where it starts. Now we get to see if Alito and Roberts are the fair minded men they claimed to be. Personally, I think this is the start of the fundamentalist revolution. Hold on to your rights, somebody wants to take em. Get this: The South Dakota law concludes that life…
Tom Cruise Loves Country and Katie Doesn't Love Gay Tom
Now folks, this is all rumour of course, but I have it on not so great authority that Katie Holmes dumped Tom Cruise even though she is pregnant with his baby because Renee Zellweger called her up and told her that her ex, Kenny Chesney, and Tom were doing some Brokeback Mountain bonding. The rumours…
Cheney goes ahead with Folsom Prison concert
This would be acceptably amusing under any circumstances, but having just seen Johnny Cash brought to life in “Walk the Line,” I am even more amused… Go Fuck Yourself
DARWIN'S NIGHTMARE by Hubert Sauper
I sent a story about this film to the Chairman last August. Still haven’t seen it, but was reminded this morning by a story on NPR. It is a bizarre, powerful, and depressing story. Some time in the 1960’s, in the heart of Africa, a new animal was introduced into Lake Victoria as a little…
India's feisty untouchable woman
Girija Devi is a one-woman social reform campaign for the Musahar community. I am so impressed with people who don’t listen to those little voices that tell us, “You can’t do that! Who do you think you are?” This story is a reminder of the profound impact that a single individual can have. Someone once…
Churches lambast US over Iraq, environment
Assholes come in all shapes, sizes, and religious preferences. And so do good people. Despite my profound suspicion of the machinations and intentions of the Christian church as a whole, I applaud the statement recently released by the World Council of Churches. The Council represents a large number of churches of different denominations worldwide. It…
