lest anyone forget how vitriolic america's rabid reactionary right repeatedly reveal themselves to be, sen robert byrd's hospitalization should prove a sad reminder. wade through this cesspool of death-wishes and rage in the comment section. ghoulish glee and prayers for eternal damnation of a fellow human's soul would seem to be antithetic to christian ideals--unless that human's name happens to be robert c. byrd. although anthony r didn't provide free samples in his post about cheney...

tough choice here because it touches on current, politics and, of course, entertainment--all of which suffered a loss last sunday (4/12/2009) with the unexpected and early demise of one marilyn ann briggs who went from soapbox to big screen and then back to soapbox again as marilyn chambers. once the face of proctor & gambles "ivory snow" she bore more than a passing resemblance to cybil shepard.  she was one of crossover porn's pioneeresses (her debut film was the mitchell brot...

apparently i owe an apology to those of you who've persisted in keeping the old "is he from honolulu or is he from kenya" thing going to the point that i now mindlessly use that phrase to replace the real chorus of that killers "are we human" song. my snide and abrupt dismissal of your concerns was premature. bad things are about to happen as a consequence of obama's decades long conspiracy to fool us into believing he was eligible to sit his ass down behind that oval office desk.  ...

an article in today's la times quotes whitehouse spokesman bill burton's take on the situation thusly, "The presence of unauthorized raccoons gives us great paws." burton also noted the national park service is, at this very moment, attempting to trap them using peanut butter (what don't kill em makes em stronger) in hopes of a racoon rendition to someplace other than where they're at now.   for the first time in my ju adventure i really wish i hadda audience log to see who c...

i'm notta big fan of firearms in general.  i stopped hunting when i was still in my teens. i've had a few shots fired at me (all missed).  on 11 different occasions, 11 different people have pointed firearms at me at close range.  if i'd been armed, i would have not have been able to prevent any of those incidents from occuring. it seems to me much more likely i would have been shot in that case. despite all that, i gotta admit i'd love to have an antitank we...

despite leonard cohen's protests to the contrary, come february 1, 2008 at least one sister of mercy--norma giannini, to be specific--just may be departed & gone.  gone up the river that is, possibly for as long as 20 years total after pleading nolo to two counts of indecent behavior with a minor, charges dating back to the 60s when sister norma was at the helm of st patricks school in milwaukee, il. seems sister principal (and whatta pal she was) accrued mad interest in two young male mem...

circumcision may be the 'slice of life' if results of a french study in south africa are corraborated by tests now being conducted in uganda and kenya.   based on their research, the french team believes men without foreskins are 60% less likely to become infected by the hiv virus. there are lots of pros and cons.  blah blah blah blah.   here's the link:  Link sorry no pix.  BUT.... here's what makes this all worthwhile: Advocati...

monday night, thanks to the 'cma music festival: country music's biggest party, i hadda terrible realization.   (this would be monday, july 24, 2006 for those of you who, a couple years from now, happen to find this post resurrected through the arcane agency of spambots careening wildly and forever from server to server, some of em reconditely tagging archives with cryptic combinations of consonants & symbols while others solicit su...

richard pryor died this morning, apparently from a heart attack. pryor was--in my opinion anyway--the funniest man of his generation and an extremely influential artist, one of the unholy trinity responsible for reviving stand-up comedy  and shaping it into what it is today. so sadly, for about the past 15 years, pryor had been a prisoner of multiple sclerosis, unable to work and eventually unable to speak.   there are three t...

altho i was otherwise occupied, i did have a chance to scan several articles discussing (as in 'the villagers held a discussion about the best way to light torches and the quickest route to the castle') doing justice to stanley williams.  one 'fact' was a near constant:  williams is unquestionably guilty of the crimes for which he stood trial and was convicted.  i invite yall to take a while to read william's motion (filed by his current legal defender) for ...

researchers have discovered male fish with ovary tissue and eggs in place of testes off the southern california coast.   previously reported in freshwater fish exposed to treated wastewater, this is the first instance of such abnormalities in saltwater species.  estrogen is generally considered to be the cause of this fishy feminizing--at least in freshwater species.  Link   while heavy metals, harmful bacteria and solids are removed at treatment plants, estrogen--wh...
