While the rest of the developed world has discovered that universal healthcare covers everyone, is the cheapest solution, and provides the highest quality of care, the US, even with Obamacare, hasn't figured it out yet. Universal healthcare is done in different ways--In England, for example, the government employs the docs, owns most hospitals, and pays for the healthcare (like our VA). In Canada,Germany, and France, the government pays the bills but the docs and hospitals are private (like our Medicare). Most of the developed world has single payer--where the government pays for everyone's healthcare through taxes (like the Medicare for all concept). Obamacare is modeled on the Swiss model, where people are required to buy their own insurance. These countries have all rejected for-profit insurance companies because companies take out 25-30% of the healthcare dollar for profits and administrative costs. Yes, one third of every dollar you pay for insurance doesn't even go to your improve your health. My theory as to why America does not have universal healthcare is because we're so hung up on race. Whites think blacks are all lazy and poor and take their money (ignoring the fact that most welfare and Medicaid recipients are, in fact, white and that most blacks are middle class). Conservatives, who support insurance company profits, keep pushing this racist view to confuse the masses (which is why we hear about myths like "Welfare Queens" being black mothers with a multitude of kids). If we all agreed that we're actually all in this together and not different just because of our races, we could have a much cheaper, more effective healthcare system.
Attached is a history of the Speedo from an Australian point of view. This paragraph caught my eye:%0D\ %0D\ ''American men have an aversion to displaying their bodies in public,'' one German visitor blogged. ''Ever since gay men came out of the closet in the ''80s and showed us who they were, straight American men went into the closet to show us what they weren''t. Before the late ''80s men wore shorter shorts and swimwear was short and fitted. Men used to be so free and liberated then. Now they are scared.''%0D\ %0D\ Amen! Americans need to get over their body aversion. The full article attached.

Since several replies in the Jason Adonis thread has people making claims about their interactions, making it a thread on its own. "Interaction" could be just meeting them, or hot sweaty sex, or anything in between.
It was so awful. Not to make it all about me...but... I feel so weird tonight. Crying jags. Dizziness. Should I go to an urgent care place? Will I just adjust in the days to come?
To the outsider, they don't seem to have much in common. The internet doesn't seem to understand their relationship. But it's serious, lasting a lot longer than people thought it would. How have they prevailed? Love, sure. And also…oxycontin. They're both addicted to oxy and often spend days at home, wrapped up in each other, doing oxy, back to her old habits. But he's been partying for a long time, somehow he manages to make the bare minimum at work. So when they hooked up, she just kinda fell into that lifestyle. It's not like she has to worry about money. And it's not like she has the kind of job where anyone's waiting on her to show up either. She's already a boss as it is and then there will always be a mirror to hold her up.
From TMZ: Kevin Sorbo unleashed a crazy rant on Facebook about the unrest in Ferguson accusing the protesters of using the shooting of Michael Brown as 'an excuse to be the losers these animals truly are.' The former 'Hercules' star, who is a die-hard Conservative, said on Facebook 'The Ferguson riots have very little to do with the shooting of the young man.' He thinks the rioters are people who failed in life and need to cast blame on their shortcomings. He wrote 'Hopefully, this is a reminder to the African-Americans (I always thought we were American - oh, well.) that their President the (sic) voted in has only made things worse for them, not better.' Sorbo then proceeded to paste the contents of a recent article from the Jewish World Review entitled, 'Media Clueless About The Inner - City' TMZ reached out to Sorbo's rep. So far, no comment.
Endorsed today by Mike Huckabee. Looks like gayface to me.

Just discovered a vimeo acct of a hot as fuck guy who films his dick and ass. He just walks around with his cock flopping all over the place.
Tell me what to avoid. I already went through these turkeys: "Test" (2013)- A bunch of fey dancers pirouette around 1964 San Fran, having bareback and thinking about getting tested for AIDS. Dreary. "Django Unchained"- The first Tarantino film I haven't enjoyed. Poorly cast, and halfway through the boredom I said, "Why am I still watching this?".
Tipping the scales at 270 lbs now Jonah Hill is the heaviest he has ever been — and sources tell The National ENQUIRER that they fear for his life! "Jonah is eating again with reckless abandon," a friend of Hill's told The ENQUIRER. "He is a brilliant comedic actor with decades ahead of him, but he has to get a handle on his health before he faces deadly consequences." In 2011, Moneyball co-star Brad Pitt urged Hill to lose weight and the 5-foot-7 double Oscar nominee lost an impressive 40 pounds from his 250-pound frame. "This past year, it has all come back and more and in recent months, Jonah is ballooning out of control," the source added.

Are you really clean and sober if you continue to smoke marijuana but have given up everything harder? What about if you still smoke cigarettes? An acquaintance says he is while continuing to use both.
Now that I can afford it, I've been thinking of getting some work done. I'm 46 but people say I look much younger--except I have some bags under my eyes. I've had these for a decade. Has anyone had an eyelid lift or had injections to fill in the trough under the bags? Anyone with any other facial plastic surgery done? Are you happy you did it ?
Do you think it is much easier for high school kids today to be openly gay than kids in the 70s, 80s or 90s? Back in the day most teens were closeted and there weren't really an role models. I was called fag more times than I'd like to remember. It seems now though there are more teens committing suicide due to bullying for being gay. Is it just being reported more now, or are social networks making the situation worse?
Zoé Zebra, 22, is planning the event — dubbed "Boule-O-thon" — in a trailer next to Club 77, a strip club on the city's Main St., on Sept. 5. Her goal, according to the event's Facebook page, is to perform sex acts with 25 men in one evening. In exchange, she will receive a cheque from her employer, porn company AD4X, which is producing the event and plans to film the whole thing. The money would cover the costs of breast implants from a surgeon of her choice. Zebra, from Saguenay, Que., told media earlier this week that she will choose her partners and what she does with them. "It's my choice, and I'm not ashamed of that," she said. "My mother is proud of me. She is happy that I'm doing what I love."

Rupert Everett, of course, has freely admitted prostituting when he was younger.\ \ We know Steven Antin (of THE GOONIES) used to be Joey Stefano''s keptboy, and that Ted casblanca was Bruce Vilanch''s when he was young.\ \ There are many rumors Robert Gant from QAF used to be a WeHo kept boy before he made it (sort of) big as an actor.
I gotta say, I enjoyed this. At least he's creative AND donated money. I love that he challenged John Travolta!

Has anyone else been able to extend stardom so long with nothing to back it up (except Kim Kardashian, of course)?

He is friends with Jeff because Jeff is Harry's agent, he is supposed to introduce him to a lot of important people in LA. Harry wants to be known as a songwriter, he wants to become 'friends' with people who can help him become famous as an individual when the time is there. You can keep calling Jeff his boyfriend, but that doesn't make it the truth. The only truth is that Harry is a smart ass who knows exactly how to charm the right people into doing a lot for him. Even if those people have their own agenda as well. Harry has talked his way right into the Azoff family. What more does he need? Well, maybe a secret girl- or boyfriend who loves him for who he is, and not for how famous he is. Someone who doesn't care about him being in LA all the time. So this person must have the possibility to see him, even though he is always staying at different places around the world. Someone whom he wants to stay faithful to, even though he knows that he could sleep with a lot of beautiful people. But why would a guy his age want to do that? Does that mean that his love interest is famous as well, and that he/she can pull the same card? Open your eyes, there is only one person who would fit in his life right now. He has never made a secret of his feelings.

It's been a little over a month since software developer Ed Summers created the Twitter account @congressedits, which tweets out any anonymous Wikipedia edits made from Congressional IP address ranges. And it looks like it's finally found something newsworthy, if unsurprising: Somebody in the House Of Representatives is transphobic. Shortly after 10 p.m. last night, somebody from within the House Of Representatives changed the Wikipedia entry for Laverne Cox, a transgender actress who plays transgender inmate Sophia Burset on Orange Is The New Black. The entry originally said that an article in The Advocate "touted that Orange Is The New Black contains the first ever women-in-prison narrative to be played by a real transgender woman." But the anonymous elected representative (or someone from their staff) changed the line to the hateful "a real man pretending to be a woman." The elected official (or their staff member) also added a link to a National Review article published last month that claimed Cox is "not a real woman." The IP address was banned from making edits for one month.

Please herald the early arrival of Part 12! Thanks to the Spam troll for its early arrival, I guess. Or was it the fact that Vern's messy self-identification all over the net made its way onto these pages due to her careless nature and being named a plaintiff in a lawsuit among other indiscretions? I suppose that Vern's adventures as a would be prison matron, yet actual food services supervisor in the Tennessee prison system were just too much for TPTB. However most of us are quite happy now that Kristen and Alicia are together. Proceed.

Talking with a friend over coffee and he said his first sexual encounter at the age of 16, was with his older brothers fat friend. They had a party, and everyone had a few beers, and while upstairs the brothers fat friend made a move. My friend says the brothers fat friend tried to have sex with him, "But his gut was so big and his dick was so small, he couldn't get inside me. So I just jerked him off till he came." They never talked about it again. The brothers fat friend is married to a woman and has several kids. Apparently he's still very fat. My friend says he's deathly embarrassed by this encounter, and swore me to secrecy. He's embarrassed because the guy was fat, not because it went so badly. So, Dataloungers, did any of you lose your cherry to a fattie?

Back in the paleozoic era, I went to a party at actor/writer Tom Tryon's apartment. This was in the days when Tryon was living with porn actor Cal Culver. Tryon was making a name as an author, mostly writing novels I think. I never read any of his stuff, but I did get one book. It's called "All That Glitters" and it's a thinly-disguised and well-written (I thought) story about old Hollywood. In the book "Babe Austrian" is Mae West and Clair Regrett is Joan Crawford. I like stories where they hide the name and give you all the gossip. Does anyone else have any juicy Roman a Clef recommendations. Please, list 'em here!

He was cute, and had an obvious crush on me. I had decided to act on the crush I had on him, until I found out his father was a cop. Always wondered what happened to him. Does it seem pervy that in 1991, a 17 year old was interested in a 15 year old?
Howard Stern made a public apology to Robin Williams on his show a few days ago. Apparently he treated Robin Williams like $hit in a 1986 interview. The archived interviews on YouTube have all been edited so there's no talk of Balushi's death, his affair with the nanny, comedy, etc. Did anyone here hear the interview when it originally aired? The edited Interview on YouTube is unbearable to listen to. Howard's voice is different, they talk about absolutely nothing, and Howard inserts commercials everywhere.
What's the cheapest wedding gift you've ever received, heard of someone receiving or (gasp) that you've given? We do a lot of wedding bashing here but I thought we could turn tables on the guests. My sister received a photo album from a friend; they're not super close but they socialize regularly. No, it was Not an unusually nice photo album, not particularly large or fancy, just the kind of 100-4x6 holders that you pick up at the drugstore. And no there were no "special" or personal photos included, it was still wrapped in plastic and empty. This woman brought her husband and she's in every photo, always with a drink in hand and spent half the night on the dance floor dancing to the band. She also raved about all the food. And she brought a $15 cheap, empty photo album. Who does this? I know people think weddings are rackets but come on. If you're getting a free meal, endless booze and some live music, you can put at least some thought into a gift. If you can't afford something expensive, do something creative or thoughtful.
It seems like it's fizzled but it just got an early renewal for a 7th season, even before the 6th season premiers. Jackie will apparently go back to drugs (which she kinda already dead in the close of last season.). No more Dr. O'Hara and 'Dr. Coop' is leaving as a cast regular. I'm sure we'll be smothered with more smearing on of the "precocious and precious" Zoe. I want to see late in life nurses hook up with hot, younger boyfriends! I wanna see more cliche E.R. scenes!
A lot of DL people think he was too "girly"? But there are so many hot videos that are instant hardons . . .
I've already noted the black socks/tennis shoe trend among the kooky kids as well as the knee-high tube sock fetish of chicken-legged men. Aside from wearing rehab shoes (white leather tennis shoes), I've noticed a great many men of my age (45+) wearing belted walking shorts with a polo or tee tucked in. It looks very special ed. Did I miss a trend?
So I met him just before Christmas and he is kind and considerate. I am a total bottom and he is an especially well endowed top. He said he loved me and I said it back. I do love him. He lost his job in January and needed a place so he moved in. He makes all of my meals, cleans every thing. He gets a meager benefits check, and spends it on gifts for me (but not groceries or anything useful). He has become needy, calling me 'pookie bear' (even in front of people and he uses baby talk in bed. He actually said "Pookie? I wuv you to much!! Can I put my wee-wee in your poo-poo hole?" Needless to say, my attraction has worn off and he complains about the lack of sex. A few weeks ago I was out with some friends and I met a man. I went back to his place and he has a nice old house and a pool. We took a swim and had some drinks. He grabbed my shoulders and said 'Christ! I want to fuck you!' and I said 'Then do!' I came home and all was fine. Then this Friday my BF and I were out with some friends. My BF wanted someone's phone number so I gave him my phone and told him it was in my contacts... well he saw a text from the guy referring to what a 'hot fuck' I am and could we meet again. Right there in the bar, at the table with our friends, he blurted 'Did you cheat on me?' Emboldened by a few drinks I replied nonchalantly. 'Yes I did'. He began to cry... not quiet tears and not sobbing, but I love Lucy style WAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! and left the bar, still crying. I chose not to return home that night, opting instead for a good fuck at the other man's house. When I came home the next day, he was gone and the neighbor told me she'd heard him bawling his eyes out until 4 AM. His stuff was still there so I took a nap and knew I would have to deal with this, bracing myself for a fight. He came in at noon with a 50 inch screen TV. He made me promise not to cheat again unless it's a threesome... and I had to let him put his 9 inch pee-pee in poo-poo hole while I tried not to fall asleep. Now I'm just thinking of all the fun I'll have getting him to buy me a car!
Life in the Big Brother house continues.
I'm growing increasingly jealous of those who are coupled. I love coming home and having my sacred alone time each and everyday...but I really want someone to share simple burdens with me like grocery shopping, preparing food, laundry, maintenance! Life seems so much easier, especially for straight dudes who have wives that basically serve as their second mothers, feeding them, buying their clothes, etc. I'm amazed at these guys who I work with, who can rattle off endless sports stats, because they go home and sit on their ass in front of EPSN everyday. I want a male wife, NOW!
'Glee' Books Max Adler's Return -- as Blaine's Boyfriend? (Exclusive) 11:38 AM PDT 8/21/2014 by Lesley Goldberg Glee's sixth and final season is starting to take shape and one of the show's most beloved characters might be in for a rude awakening. Max Adler has booked a return visit to the Fox musical and will reprise his role as former bully-turned-openly gay good guy Dave Karofsky, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. Adler's arc is said to be major and he'll appear in at least four of the final 13 episodes of the series. Sources tell THR that Dave may now be romantically tangled with Blaine (Darren Criss), which is surprising news since season five ended with Kurt (Chris Colfer) and Blaine seemingly better than ever as a couple after performing at a glitzy showcase for the all-powerful social mover June (Shirley MacLaine). However, Glee co-creator Ryan Murphy told reporters in April that the final season would feature a time jump — and focus more on the core original cast members — which could mean Kurt and Blaine have split after that. Or, knowing Glee, it could all be part of an elaborate dream sequence. "The final season is really its own story and its own location and while the New York stuff will be alive, the final season is not New York-centric at all," Murphy said. "It really [will be] a lovely, fitting season that … dwells on the original people that were on the show and what happens to them and how they give back. That really is the last season .… We'll revisit some of the new kids that came and went. There's a return of the Jane-Matt characters in a big way. It's really interesting, very sweet, satisfying ending to the story." Adler was last seen in the 17th episode of Glee's fifth season when Karofsky appeared in Rachel's pre-Opening Night dream sequence. The plot twist would come after Blaine helped Kurt get through Karofsky's bullying. The closeted jock routinely tormented the openly gay Kurt and, after Dave forced a kiss on him in season two, was outed in a landmark season three episode in which he attempted suicide. For the actor, the Glee return comes as he's been recurring on ABC Family's recently renewed Switched at Birth. His credits include the upcoming features Saugatuck Cures, The Midnight Man and Believe Me and 23 Blast, with the latter two due out this year. He's repped by CESD and Justice & Ponder. Glee returns midseason on Fox. A premiere date has not yet been announced.
My father would often "parade" around naked in front of me and my younger brother. He once commented that young boys could be intimidated by adult men with large penises like his. I realize this is unusual but I'm not sure what it means. He was definitely not gay.

That warmonger Dorothy Gale, who couldn't even keep her dumb dog out of Miss Gulch's yard like any dog owner with brains or consideration for other people's property, fucked it all up. The Wicked Witch of the West was even worse (Glinda said so herself), and after she was killed and Dorothy overthrew the Wizard and sent him into exile, the rule-by-committee incompetence of the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion (an apt name if ever there was one) let Oz turn to shit and allowed the Gnome King to take over. Look at what happened to the Yellow Brick Road. And even though the Munchkins welcomed Dorothy as a liberator at first, they were also destroyed. The Wizard may not have been all he said he was, but at least under his rule, people could get up at 12 and start to work at 1, take an hour for lunch and then at 2 be done. Jolly good fun, right? Wrong. What about the coachman? The doorman? The Wizard's guard? The Wash and Brush Up Co.? It looks like they had to work pretty damn hard. Perhaps the worst thing about all this is the fact that Dorothy just went back to Kansas with the ruby slippers with the intention of spending the rest of her life there. And who knows what happened to Miss Gulch, the innocent victim of an unprovoked canine attack. And all of this blood was shed over a fucking pair of shoes! No war for ruby slippers!
Fahrenheit 451. Everyone complains about it, because it's centrally miscast (with Oskar Werner who can barely be understood when he reads out loud from David Copperfield). But I love its look and its little details, and its has two of Julie Christie's best performances as the sweet rebel Clarice and the ethically and emotionally anesthetized wife, Linda. Plus its got one of the greatest of all Bernard Herrmann scores.
US: Parents beat 8-year-old to death because he played with dolls 20th August 2014, 7:32 PM, Joseph Patrick McCormick The parents of an eight-year-old beat "every inch" of him, until he was dead, because he played with dolls, a court heard. Pearl Fernandez, 30, and Isauro Aguirre, 34, beat their son Gabriel Fernandez in May 2013, the Los Angeles court was told by prosecutors. The eight year old was beaten "for eight straight months", and he was "tortured more severely than many prisoners of war." The child wrote his own suicide note because he could no longer take the abuse. On 22 May 2013, the parents called emergency services because they said their son was not breathing. She claimed he had fallen an hit his head on a dresser. According to statements given by his two siblings, he was forced to eat cat faeces and rotten spinach and was not allowed to use the toilet. He was called gay, and beaten when he played with dolls. He was beaten with a metal hanger, a belt buckle and lost multiple teeth when he was hit with a bat. His siblings said he was taken to a bedroom and beaten until he was dead, as he would not clean up his toys. Two social workers and two supervisors were sacked following the death of the 8-year-old. Every incident report concluded with no abuse, and a detailed report was never written up.

Brandon responded that he was a "Matt Rutler fan". Who is Matt Rutler? He's Aguilera's fiancée and the father to her newborn baby, whose name was just announced today to be...Summer Rain! What's going on here? In this post he's addressing Christina:
After watching We Bought a Zoo!, I felt really angry at Matt Damon's character for what he did to the tiger. What he did was kill a tiger that could have had a normal or great future (at least for a few more days) and murdered him. The reason Spar, the tiger, died was because of Matt Damon's character. He did not love animals. He was not a zoophilic. People who are not zoophilics make me so angry. Little kids and teens are so defenseless and naiive, for an adult to permanently damage the kid by killing an animal would be a very easy thing to do. What these lowlife adults are doing is ruining someone else's life. It's disgusting. Period. All through the movie I wanted to strangle Matt Damon's character. Toward the end, I was so sad for Spar, who died because of Benjamin, who I thought Matt Damon did a great job portraying. Although, I thought Damon did not do justice to the true inhumanity of someone who is not a zoophilic.
Damn, he's fine. I had no idea who he was, but had to look up his name after seeing this trailer. Anyone know anything about this dude?
Started in January. New city, didnt know anyone. She asked me to lunch my first week after some friendly conversations waiting for the elevator. She blew me in her car during lunch and I fucked her that same night. Things were cool. She works in another department as me but the same floor so not a lot of interaction but we kept it friendly. She asked me out a couple more times, but I was genuinely budy, and things just naturally fell off. I got a call from an HR person this morning and when I we t down there I was asked about making sexual remarks at work where people can overhear me she made it sound like I had been talking publicly about my sex life. I told her no, that I'm new, don't really socialize with anyone there and I'm pretty much in my office the majority of the day. She accepted that and she really didnt seem concerned. I brought it up to another guy that's in chick'sOP department and he told me that she had been openly talking about us fucking and he was pretty sure ANOTHER woman in his dept complained. Should I go tell chick to shut the fuck up? Forget about it, since it wasn't even me doing the talking and HR really didnt seem to care, just going through the ropes? It's a good job and I wouldn't mind hooking up with a few of my other co-workers.
He's married to a woman. He's 51 and insists he's still gay. He says he always wanted kids, but he couldn't find a man who was willing to settle down. Odd, since he was with the same guy for 10 years. But then he started talking about how kids need opposite sex parents, and it's not fair to make kids "pawns" in gay relationships to make "political statements". He also said he needed to "grow up" and become a responsible adult man, and he couldn't do that without a wife and kids. It seems odd that he says he's still gay, that his wife knows he's gay, yet he spouts anti-gay rhetoric. He was never a slut, or big time party gay; but he liked to have a good time. Now he makes himself out to be a homebody, while all other gays only care about partying and anonymous sex. When I reminded him that he was the only gay man I knew who used to be a stripper in the early 1990's, he became somewhat agitated and said he had to leave. He didn't bother to say goodbye when he walked away. Guess I touched a nerve. The sad thing is, he dumped his boyfriend of 10 years and married his female friend of 20 years. I thought about contacting his ex-bf, but figured after 10 years, I should let sleeping dogs lie.

I've been wondering whether this movie will be a big flop, or a mega hit. Well, this trailer makes me think the latter. If it is half a funny, half as exciting and half as stylish as this trailer it will be a HUGE HIT. Marvel is doing it right.
This is kind of an old story but I thought some DLers might enjoy hearing about one of the times someone hit me. It was in Galveston, TX. I'd hang out at my friends loft while my girlfriend was at school (I lived with her and her parents, had no wheels and didn't want to spend all day with her mom). Most days is go chill at this coffee shop called MOD. Galveston has a lot of doctors and med students because of UTMB and this one very handsome doctor would come in all of the time. Sometimes with his wife and little boy, but mostly he'd ride his bike over solo, and we'd always chat. Anyway, I invited him over to my friends loft to smoke some weed one afternoon and he was game. (Friend was at work btw). We smoked and I told him I wanted to fuck him. He tried to laugh it off, but I sat right next to him and started rubbing his thigh. He just continued to nervously laugh, I pointed out he wasn't stopping me ... So I'm fucking him on my friends bed. Face down ass up. His pants are next to me and I see his phone in the pocket. I decide to shoot some video. I get a great shot of my load seeping outta his ass (he didn't know I had his phone LOL). I quickly run to the bathroom and look at his texts. It's obvious which one is his wife and I send her the video along with a nice message. Come out the bathroom. He's got his pants on, my load still fresh in his ass, and he's asking if I have his phone LOL Busted! I give him the phone and the first thing he does is look at his texts. He starts screaming "What the fuck is wrong with you?!" And I very quickly walked to the door hoping he'd follow. He did but was screaming at me, then started poking me in the chest. Finally he punched me in the face. It hurt but I didn't fall down or anything. I wanted to laugh but it hurt too much. He said something like "thanks for ruining my life" and left. I did see him at MOD. A few times after that but we never talked.

After watching Behind the Candelabra, I felt really angry at Librace for what he did to Scott. What he did was pluck a kid who could have had a normal or great future (Scott wanted to be a vet) and ruined him. The reason Scott was a drug addict was because of Librace. Pedophilics and ephebophelics make me so angry. Little kids and teens are so defenseless and naiive, for an adult to manipulate the kid would be a very easy thing to do. What these lowlife adults are doing is ruining someone else's life. It's disgusting. Period. All through the movie I wanted strangle Librace. Toward the end, I was so sad for Scott who became messed up from being in a relationship with Scott which I thought Matt Damon did a great job portraying. Although, I thought Damon's age did not do justice to the truth which is that Scott was 16 (!) when taken in by Librace.

How do you feel when a colleague is casually hands on in the workplace in a non-creepy, non-sexual way? I'm thinking like a hand on the back as they squeeze by you in a congested area or a hand on your shoulder if they have to reach past you for something or you ask them to read something over you shoulder, etc. Or do you strictly believe "No Touching!"? I don't talk a lot and when I do I'm usually very quiet so people assume I'm being bitchy so I'm trying to find something non-verbal to combat the negative assumption.
Maybe from the area? I just heard that they're imposing a curfew.

Could speculation about a main "Walking Dead" character being gay be true? Fans of the popular AMC zombie show have long questioned the sexuality of one of the lead characters, Daryl. Now, creator Robert Kirkman is addressing the rumors after he was directly asked about Daryl's sexuality in the letter column to "The Walking Dead" #130. He told ComicBook.com, "All I can say is that it's been discussed. We have very specific ideas about Daryl's sexuality (or the seeming lack thereof), and if there's ever a quiet period in the show where he's not consistently distracted by crossbowing… we'll tackle it in the show." Kirkman also reportedly stated that AMC "absolutely would" allow the show's creators to make Daryl gay. This revelation comes in wake of a recent blog on HuffPost that questioned: why are there no gays on "The Walking Dead"?

Just ended a relationship (for the second time) with a guy who has this attachment style. It was the most unworkable situation I have ever been in. From Wikipedia: [italic]People with a dismissive style of avoidant attachment tend to agree with these statements: "I am comfortable without close emotional relationships", "It is very important to me to feel independent and self-sufficient", and "I prefer not to depend on others or have others depend on me." People with this attachment style desire a high level of independence. The desire for independence often appears as an attempt to avoid attachment altogether. They view themselves as self-sufficient and invulnerable to feelings associated with being closely attached to others. They often deny needing close relationships. Some may even view close relationships as relatively unimportant. Not surprisingly, they seek less intimacy with relationship partners, whom they often view less positively than they view themselves. Investigators commonly note the defensive character of this attachment style. People with a dismissive–avoidant attachment style tend to suppress and hide their feelings, and they tend to deal with rejection by distancing themselves from the sources of rejection (i.e., their relationship partners).[/italic]
Anyone have experience with someone with a dissmissive-avoidant attachment style?

Oprah deigns to inform you that she has done the Ice Bucket Challenge
First- Laurie Garrett is senior fellow for global health at the Council on Foreign Relations and a Pulitzer Prize winning science writer. "Attention, World: You just don't get it." "You think there are magic bullets in some rich country's freezers that will instantly stop the relentless spread of the Ebola virus in West Africa? You think airport security guards in Los Angeles can look a traveler in the eyes and see infection, blocking that jet passenger's entry into La-la-land? You believe novelist Dan Brown's utterly absurd description of a World Health Organization that has a private C5-A military transport jet and disease SWAT team that can swoop into outbreaks, saving the world from contagion?" She then goes on to point out the global outbreak that would ensue if the disease took hold in Lagos, Nigeria. Well, this just happened in Lagos- NYDailyNews- MONROVIA, Liberia — Liberian officials fear Ebola could soon spread through the capital's (Lagos) largest slum after residents raided a quarantine center for suspected patients and took items including blood-stained sheets and mattresses. The violence in the West Point slum occurred late Saturday and was led by residents angry that patients were brought from other parts of the capital to the holding center, Tolbert Nyenswah, assistant health minister, said Sunday. It was not immediately clear how many patients had been at the center. West Point residents went on a "looting spree," stealing items from the clinic that were likely infected, said a senior police official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the press. The residents took medical equipment and mattresses and sheets that had bloodstains, he said. "All between the houses you could see people fleeing with items looted from the patients," the official said, adding that he now feared "the whole of West Point will be infected." Some of the looted items were visibly stained with blood, vomit and excrement, said Richard Kieh, who lives in the area.
Damn! I'd FHH. *After he is no longer infectious.

In the past few weeks i have done my research for the benefit of the planet and tracked ex women friends who were extremely hot here in los angeles. I wondered what happened to them as they would only, ONLY screw very hot model guys . well now they are 42, 43yrs old. they loved the bad boy straight friends that I had so I wondered what happened to these women. sure enough..... looking on face book, both got married to geeks , creepy jewish producers , pudgy, and fugly and popped out kids.....i figured it would happen. how they crawl into bed with these guys i will never know. But i figured they saw their expiration dates coming and they needed to secure their futures.. pop out two kids....lol, its a pattern with hot women.
So this is about an unlikeable slut right? I mean other than seeing Shia's LeBouf there's no point to this pretentious shit porn is there?

I've had two offers, the second of which almost went all the way. I got earnest money. Both times, the City nixed the deal because the intent of the buyers was to subdivide the land and cut down the trees. However, there might be a way to, umm, mitigate, fix, adjust (whatever they're calling a BRIBE these days,) mentioned in the most subtle way. I'm willing to pay the br.., uh, modest "consideration," myself just to (1) Get the deal over with and, (2) Tell you guys how it went down. Any sense whatsoever? It is 3 in the morning after all.
Shouldn't it be just as illegal?
[quote]GTA teen's cover of "As Long as You Love Me" on Vine leads to record deal and real world stardom. Aug 19 2014 A year ago, Shawn Mendes filmed himself singing a tentative acoustic cover of the Justin Bieber song "As Long as You Love Me" and put the results on Vine. He wasn't expecting much response. "I didn't really want anything to happen; I just kind of wanted to see what people would think," says Mendes, 16. "I posted that first Vine and woke up the next morning with 10,000 followers. That was pretty cool." Mendes's Bieber cover went viral and he soon became a popular presence on Vine, a service that allows users to share six-second video clips. He began posting Vines — mostly covers of popular songs — almost every day. "It just started to pick up in this snowball effect to where I am now, which is insane. Everything has come through Vine," Mendes says in a recent phone interview. "I went to Toronto one afternoon for this Vine meet-up and there was 2,000 people there cheering my name. That was one of the biggest eye-openers of my life." A few weeks later, managers and record labels came calling. Mendes soon signed with Island Records, which issued his self-titled EP late last month. It reached No. 1 on iTunes 37 minutes after it was released. Mendes is at the forefront of the first generation of Vine stars: singers, performers, dancers, comedians and whatevers who are attempting to use the online platform as a springboard to real-world success. Michael and Carissa Alvarado, the married folk-pop outfit who record as Us the Duo, signed to Republic Records this spring; they are widely thought to be the first Vine stars to land a major record deal. Like Mendes, they started with cover songs. And like Mendes, they soon found that being "Vine famous" took work. "It wasn't this thing that happened by accident," Michael Alvarado says. "We thought about every single post and changed our outfits for every video, and thought, 'What's the most strategic six seconds from this video that everyone can relate to?'" Except for Mendes, who seems to have wandered into tween stardom from a Frank Capra film, most Vine stars tend to be pragmatic about their path to fame. For every one who has worked since childhood to become the next Beyoncé, there are easily a dozen others who see Vine as a greased path to an amorphous, Kardashian-like celebrity. They are conversant in the language of site algorithms and demographics. They know just which six seconds of just which hit song to cover for maximum impact. Many spend days editing their footage; others enlist video directors. "To get on there specifically to be famous, I feel like that is probably the wrong motive," warns Alvarado. "When you go into Vine with that mindset, it's not going to happen like that." Except sometimes it does: Recent Casablanca Records signee Dawin got famous after a Vine he made — attaching footage of the much-memed "Carlton dance" popularized on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air to his own track, "Just Girly Things" — went viral. "I found the right platform at the right time," says Dawin, an artist and producer from Brooklyn. "A lot of people were discovered from YouTube and then became amazing superstars. Justin Bieber had great success online, then became a global star. I feel like Vine is having the same effect. It's actually happening faster than it did with YouTube." Vine artists usually start with cover songs, then gradually introduce their own material (if they have any). They use Vine to drive traffic to their longer-form YouTube videos, or their Twitter or Instagram feeds. "All this feeds into building your brand," says Keith Caulfield, associate director of charts and sales at Billboard. "If Shawn Mendes had tens of thousands of re-Vines and millions of views on YouTube, and Facebook impressions and Tumblr followers — when you add up all of those impressions, it becomes a tangible audience of people who are willing to engage with you and become part of your fan base."
My partner is a tightwad. Last week, I ran into a long-lost friend on the street and we made dinner plans. I said, I'd love to introduce you to XX [my partner]. I texted my partner, suggested dinner, and we all went out. I paid for the friend. My partner now, a week later, is still bringing up how much dinner cost, why did I insist on going to dinner spur of the moment, and why did I pay for my friend. He keeps saying, "I hope that $150 dinner was worth it!" and mentioning how much we've spent lately on restaurants. What COULD have been a spontaneous meet-up and a fun night has now become a source of guilt for me. I told my partner this, and he doesn't get it. Am I right or is he??
Scares me.

Ferguson is not just about systemic racism — it's about class warfare and how America's poor are held back, says Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Will the recent rioting in Ferguson, Missouri, be a tipping point in the struggle against racial injustice, or will it be a minor footnote in some future grad student's thesis on Civil Unrest in the Early Twenty-First Century? The answer can be found in May of 1970. You probably have heard of the Kent State shootings: on May 4, 1970, the Ohio National Guard opened fire on student protesters at Kent State University. During those 13 seconds of gunfire, four students were killed and nine were wounded, one of whom was permanently paralyzed. The shock and outcry resulted in a nationwide strike of 4 million students that closed more than 450 campuses. Five days after the shooting, 100,000 protestors gathered in Washington, D.C. And the nation's youth was energetically mobilized to end the Vietnam War, racism, sexism, and mindless faith in the political establishment. You probably haven't heard of the Jackson State shootings. On May 14th, 10 days after Kent State ignited the nation, at the predominantly black Jackson State University in Mississippi, police killed two black students (one a high school senior, the other the father of an 18-month-old baby) with shotguns and wounded twelve others. There was no national outcry. The nation was not mobilized to do anything. That heartless leviathan we call History swallowed that event whole, erasing it from the national memory. And, unless we want the Ferguson atrocity to also be swallowed and become nothing more than an intestinal irritant to history, we have to address the situation not just as another act of systemic racism, but as what else it is: class warfare. By focusing on just the racial aspect, the discussion becomes about whether Michael Brown's death—or that of the other three unarmed black men who were killed by police in the U.S. within that month—is about discrimination or about police justification. Then we'll argue about whether there isn't just as much black-against-white racism in the U.S. as there is white-against-black. (Yes, there is. But, in general, white-against-black economically impacts the future of the black community. Black-against-white has almost no measurable social impact.) Then we'll start debating whether or not the police in America are themselves an endangered minority who are also discriminated against based on their color—blue. (Yes, they are. There are many factors to consider before condemning police, including political pressures, inadequate training, and arcane policies.) Then we'll question whether blacks are more often shot because they more often commit crimes. (In fact, studies show that blacks are targeted more often in some cities, like New York City. It's difficult to get a bigger national picture because studies are woefully inadequate. The Department of Justice study shows that in the U.S. between 2003 and 2009, among arrest-related deaths there's very little difference among blacks, whites, or Latinos. However, the study doesn't tell us how many were unarmed.) This fist-shaking of everyone's racial agenda distracts America from the larger issue that the targets of police overreaction are based less on skin color and more on an even worse Ebola-level affliction: being poor. Of course, to many in America, being a person of color is synonymous with being poor, and being poor is synonymous with being a criminal. (Cont'd)

You all here think so, at least if you read the Timberlake threads. But on other gossip sites they think he's straight. Celeb writers/bloggers who traffic in gossip say he is straight - EG Ted C, that Lainey person. If you read on him here and other sites, it's like two different people. What's the real deal?

Not sure what I think about this author's claims of ALS essentially stealing charitable funds from other organizations, but he makes a compelling argument. Thought this was the most interesting bit: [quote]It's called moral licensing: the idea that doing one good action leads one to compensate by doing fewer good actions in the future. In a recent experiment, participants either selected a product from a selection of mostly "green" items (like an energy-efficient light bulb) or from a selection of mostly conventional items (like a regular light bulb). They were then told to perform a supposedly unrelated task. However, in this second task, the results were self-reported, so the participants had a financial incentive to lie; and they were invited to pay themselves out of an envelope, so they had an opportunity to steal as well. [quote]What happened? People who had previously purchased a green product were significantly more likely to both lie and steal than those who had purchased the conventional product. Their demonstration of ethical behavior subconsciously gave them license to act unethically when the chance arose. [quote]The explanation behind moral licensing is that people are often more concerned about looking good or feeling good rather than doing good. If you "do your bit" by buying an energy-efficient lightbulb, then your status as a good human being is less likely to be called into question if you subsequently steal. [quote]In terms of the conditions for the moral licensing effect to occur, the ice bucket challenge is perfect. The challenge gives you a way to very publicly demonstrate your altruism via a painful task, despite actually accomplishing very little (on average, not including those who don't donate at all, a $40 gift, or 0.07% of the average American household's income): it's geared up to make you feel as good about your actions as possible, rather than to ensure that your actions do as much good as possible.
I'm 27 and have been working out since I'm 20.. But lately (as in: the past 9 months), I just can't be bothered with going to the gym anymore. Prepping meals, keeping my protein intake in mind all the time, lifting weights.. Wonder if any of you gym rats feel this way too. Maybe it's time for another sport.. I also don't feel the need anymore to look pumped all the time - there is more in life than dumbbells..
This dates back to the original Broadway production of RENT but carries over into the film adaptation as well: In the song "Today 4 U" the character Angel Dumott Schunard sings, "Like Thelma and Louise did when they got the blues/ Swan dove into the courtyard of the Gracie Mews." The line is anachronistic because that scene in RENT takes place in 1989 whereas "Thelma & Louise" didn't come out in theaters until 1991. What are yours?

He also collected designer caftans and Princess Diana memorial plates. **** Brace yourself because this story is truly horrifying. A 52-year-old man nicknamed the "Penis Collector" has been arrested by police in Slavonski Brod, a small city in eastern Croatia, on suspicion of possessing a collection of human body organs. The man was apprehended earlier this week. When authorities entered his apartment they found jars and jars of human penises soaking in formaldehyde. According to sources, the man, whose name has not been released, works as a registered nurse at a city hospital. He has no criminal record and has been described by some as "a family man," though others say he is an alcoholic who often showed up to work drunk. "On behalf of all employees of the hospital, I have to say that we are very unpleasantly surprised by an event that threw a shadow over this hospital," a hospital spokesperson said. "Our apologies to families of the deceased." It is unclear how exactly police learned about the "collection." Also unclear is how the man got his hands on so many human penises, though it is believed they were cut off from the dead bodies of hospital patients. The man, who has since been released from custody, now awaits criminal charges for disturbing the deceased, which has a maximum sentence of up to two years in jail.

My sister, who lives out of state, has been living with a financially dependent woman for 7-8 years. The woman is a hoarder, has other psychological problems, and I recently learned she is verbally abusive to my sister. My sister is on disability, has her own mental issues, and will not be able to afford living in her home much longer. Any suggestions as to how to get this abusive, hoarding woman out of my sister's life? Does this woman have legal rights to living in the home since she has been there for over 7 years? Would reporting elder abuse help? Anyone here been in a similar situation? Really? What should I do?

It is really good! It features Prince's ex wife, Jose Canseco's ex, Eddie Murphy's ex, and R Kelly's ex. Kind of like real housewives, but it seems more real. There is little or no fighting, but it really provides insight into what life was like being married to these famous guys. Eddie's wife is one of the most beautiful women that I have ever seen...she must have been paid a bundle to put up with his shit.

If any one wants to comment. First thing I noticed is Jeff Daniels is so damn cute. That didn't last very long did it?
Sigh. One step forward, two steps back. I assume he's no longer with Rod-i-ney, either. What a waste. "Remember Josey Greenwell, the out country singer who was dating former A-List New York cast member Rodiney Santiago? He came out with gusto, playing pride events and doing photo spreads for DNA Magazine? Just like newcomer Steve Grand, he's no stranger to changing his name and identity to suit his needs. According to WeHo Confidential, Greenwell deleted all of his social media profiles about six months ago. Even his Wikipedia page got the axe. Now he's resurfaced as straight country singer Nate Green - complete with all new social media pages. He seems to have sanitized and "straightens" up all of his followers and comments. He deletes or hides any gay comments about him or any comments revealing he is really Josey Greenwell and gay. We googled and found a few local or web live interviews that he has done as Nate Green along with a few obscure articles where he denies being gay or tries to be straight. We even signed up for his fan pages and tried to comment on his social media pages to ask him if he is Josey Greenwell and why is he denying being gay and becoming a different person? Our comments never appeared on his sites and several of our gay friends tried to do the same but it seems like all comments that are remotely gay or from gay fans are not allowed on his sites and he won't allow you to be a fan or friend or follow. He only features straight women and girls and a few seemingly straight guys to comment on his sites or follow him or become his friend or fan online. One fan actually got a message from Nate Green/Josey Greenwell stating that if he did not stop trying to post gay related comments on Nate Green's sites he was going to use legal action against him. Green/Greenwell did not respond to a request for comment by the time this post published. I'll update it if he does."
Hot Gay Country Singer Goes Back in the Closet and 'Re-brands' as Straight
7/31/2014 from IDOLATOR.COM: [italic]The black cat's out of the bag: Over six years after her last studio album, Discipline, Janet Jackson is working on a follow-up to her 2008 record. (!!!) In an interview with studio speaker company Barefoot Sound, vocal producer and engineer Ian Cross confirmed what many of Miss Jackson's devoted fans have been waiting to hear ever since the conclusion of her Number Ones, Up Close and Personal Tour in 2011: Janet's back in the recording studio, and she's been working for a while now. "Janet [Jackson] and I had a little bit more of a special relationship because we became friends naturally," Cross told Barefoot of their ongoing working relationship. "You meet a lot of people and you become friends with a couple of them, but sometimes there is one person you become really good friends with…She asked me to work on an album with her called Discipline in 2007 and, again, just do the same thing, produce the vocals. That led to her hiring me full-time to work with her. That's where I'm at now." The producer, who also helped to engineer Janet's past three studio albums (Damita Jo, 20 Y.O. and Discipline), also confirmed that the upcoming record has been a particularly global experience this time around: "The Janet Jackson's of the world can't just spend their time in one studio in one city anymore…we've been working in Qatar. We've been working in Paris, the Middle East, and now we feel like we can work anywhere." And as for what to expect? "The new album is going to be great. It's a process. There's a lot in store, yet to come. I can't go into too many details but I think Janet Jackson's fans are going to be very excited about the new album, and I think people who don't know her as fans are going to be excited about it, too." So excited, indeed.[/italic] ....and to the haters, the naysayers and everyone else who swore she was retired and that there was no new album coming? You can sit now.

This is just an excerpt, but shows shy what is happening in Ferguson is just the natural consequence of Empire and unlimited government. ------------- But of course the media is always part of the story, and a key part at that, whether we're talking about US intervention in Libya or Missouri. Their role is often that of handmaiden to the State, but in this instance they're getting in the way of carrying out the mission – which is to silence the people of Ferguson and crush the rebellion underfoot. Officer Wilson will never be charged, let alone prosecuted: far worse crimes have been committed by police officers in this country, and they almost always get off scot free. The reason is simple: the police embody the State, and the State cannot afford to be held accountable for its crimes, which are committed on a daily – nay, hourly – basis. To challenge the authority of a police officer to act with virtual impunity is to attack the very nature of all governments everywhere, which are nothing more – or less – than monopolies on the use of force in a given geographical area. In normal times, it's relatively easy to maintain the illusion of "democracy," and "liberalism," with elections that are merely contests between two rival gangster clans, and a "free" yet mysteriously complicit media that has by now been almost entirely subsumed into the political class. In times like these, however, the masks come off, and the reality of the Thug State is revealed in all its brazen ugliness. That's when journalists are arrested and thrown in jail cells along with the rest of the helots, and the MRAPs come rolling down the streets of residential neighborhoods. Yes, the militarization of the police is a Bad Thing: but it didn't just pop up out of nowhere. The American State, in the year 2014, Anno Domini, is unlike any other the world has ever seen: it is not only superior militarily to all possible rivals, it is also imbued with an arrogance, an unmitigated hubris, of the sort not seen since the Roman Caesars. Most governments in the world limit their sphere of claimed authority to the geographical boundaries inherited from history. While Putin makes his little foray into Crimea and the Chinese may seek suzerainty over a few disputed atolls, no other nation on earth seeks to extend its monopoly on coercion over the entire surface of the earth. While the soldiers of the "Caliphate" may voice this goal as their ambition, no one with any sense takes them seriously, and for good reason: they can't possibly succeed.

Former friends Spike Lee and Michael Rapaport are now warring over gentrification in Brooklyn borough of New York City and the quality of films they pro due. Rapaport fired the latest verbal missile at Lee during a visit Tuesday to HuffPost Live. Rapaport, who is producing and directing his new film My Man is a Loser, denounced the filmmaker a "s— stain" who is playing the race card when he discusses gentrification in New York. Then, he went on to disparage Lee's filmmaking career. "When's the last Spike Lee film you saw?" Rapaport asked host Marc Lamont Hill. "Nobody goes to see them s—-." Despite coming to talk about his new film, Rapaport instead appropriated the balance of his interview time addressing Lee, who during a May interview on HuffPost Live called Rapaport "stupid" and said he "doesn't know what he's f—— talking about." Lee also discounted Rapaport's talents as a director, to which Rapaport fired back Tuesday, "I'm going to see him sooner or later," Rapaport said, which some took as a a threat. "I wanna see you say 'you're stupid and your movie sucks' right to my face." Lee, whose industry beefs are legendary and go way back to the time he slammed Morgan Freeman fiercely for his subservient role in Driving Miss Daisy, responded to Rapaport saying a month earlier that Spike Lee had no business talking about Brooklyn's gentrification since Lee lives on the Upper East Side in the neighboring borough of Manhattan.

Case in point, Matt Damon. Has anyone seen pictures of his wife. She's ugly without makeup. Plus, she's a bartender who probably isn't educated because if she was why would she be a bartender. To make things worse, she's already married and has a kid. Can you imagine, another man has touched her intimate parts. And Damon is pretty much taking a bite out of a pie that's already been half eaten. It's disgusting. And she doesn't even speak English well, so I'm assuming that they can't communicate meaningfully to each other because Matt can't speak Spanish. So uh...why Matt? You could have chosen another actress to get married to who actually looks pretty. I get the fact that you care for your privacy a whole lot but there are good people in Hollywood like Paul Bettany's wife who would be willing to give you privacy. Also why couldn't you have married a nurse or a doctor or an accountant? A respectable member of society? A bartender...omg really?! She MUST have a great personality. I mean she must have something going for her. It often baffles me the choices that some good guys make.

When I was younger I used to be able to drink gallons of it and feel relatively fine the next day. But now that I'm middle aged I can't have more than two pints. If I do I feel like complete shit the next day. Weird. I can still handle wine OK and tend not to overindulge on that. I've never been a huge fan of spirits but do you think vodka or gin would suit an aging man's body better than beer? It's certainly less fattening. I'm not interested in getting drunk anymore. I just want to catch a little buzz when I'm out or at home in the evening.

Transgender boxing promoter Kellie Maloney says she "still" doesn't think gay couples should raise children, but denies being homophobic. The former UKIP candidate and manager of Lennox Lewis revealed on Sunday that she is transgender, and has transitioned to female. Maloney had caused controversy previously by coming out against same-sex marriage, and saying she would ban pride marches. She also told the BBC in 2004 that she would not campaign in the London borough of Camden, because there were "too many gays". Speaking to the Telegraph, Maloney claimed the previous comments were just "silly" remarks when she was "caught off guard". She said: "Look, I was caught off guard. These were just silly, off-the-cuff remarks. I'm not homophobic. I have gay friends. "And my recent experiences have left me wiser and more tolerant. I've learnt a lot. "All I will say is that going through the transgender experience doesn't mean suddenly I have the same opinions on everything as everyone in the LGBT community. "I still don't think that children should be brought up in same-sex marriages.''

The New York Post's Page Six reports Carey and Cannon are "living separately." She has allegedly suspected him of cheating and even hired security guards to make sure he stayed away from other women during club appearances. "He hasn't been staying at their home," a source told Page Six. "He's been living out of hotels. They're fighting a lot."
What''s her story? It''s unusual for a soap star to cross over to tv/movies. Suddenly she is everywhere. Biggest Loser. Allergy Medicine ads. Print ads. I never thought of her as the main attraction for Days fans, but she must have a huge fanbase. I watched Days when she was the bitchy teenager causing trouble in Salem. I just never expected her to have such career longevity. My guess is she''s a really nice person. Anyone have any insider information?
Not just because I've thought he was fine as HELL since his Remington Steele days, but he's also a great actor and seems intelligent and kind. But, I also really admire that his wife hit the wall looks-wise in addition to gaining a lot of weight long-term, and he still seems to love her and be attracted. Keeping their family intact as well. A man among men if you ask me.

He's gay, right? I'm watching him give the forecast on Good Day NY in my doctor's office. He's incredibly muscular, really well-groomed, and has a certain "pingy" quality about him. So what's the verdict on this gorgeous weather hottie?
First of all, death by natural causes will never trump suicide. (The only case of the former that brought out a comparable outbreak of sorrow was Lucille Ball) RW had all the elements that makes classic, newsworthy tragedy: TV comic famous for a few generations. Becomes big movie star. Hangs out with Hollywood hot crowd. Wins Oscar. Somewhat messy marriages. Despite all this, is not an asshole and is well known as being kind-hearted and charitable in private life. Despite all the good qualities is deeply unhappy. Star dims, has money troubles, reruns to TV where star flops spectacularly. Suicide. It will be hard to top.
....and it's a big fat FAIL. Seriously, this may be the end of her.

Have you ever gotten revenge on someone and left feeling satisfied? My 6th grade music teacher didn't pick me for choir, and for some reason called my parents and told them I had dandruff. I was really embarrassed and pissed off. I set my alarm for 1am and evey night I would call his house and if his wife would answer I would sit there quietly or hang up. If he answered I would just sit there until he hung up. That didn't really do mych and I got pretty frustrated. I guess I was hoping that I'd hear about a divorce or something. Anyway, so finally one day I stayed after class and when it was just us I asked him "Why are you such a bitch?" He grabbed my arm real tight and told me to get out of the classroom. I remember my arm hurt bad and I went to the restroom hoping it would be bruised but it wasn't. I went to the stall and kept slamming the door on my arm until it looked really bad. Then I went to the nurse and showed it to her. My dad got called in. My teacher admitted to grabbing my arm and he was fired. Or at least he was no longer working there anymore. I felt like I had won and actually accomplished something. And I ended up getting on choir but hated it so quit after like two weeks lol

BEHIND closed doors, a furious Tom Cruise is at the center of two explosive scandals that could blow the lid off his private life, The National ENQUIRER has learned. While the Hollywood megastar has long insisted that he is not homosexual, nightmare rumors – said to be about the 52-year-old father of three – about his sexuality have made it into print. The incredible claims and outrageous allegations involve same sex love affairs, and appear in author Amy Sohn's blockbuster book "The Actress," which its publisher has promoted as a "big, juicy literary novel." But The ENQUIRER can reveal that "The New York Times" and other websites have labeled the book a "roman a clef" – a novel about real people clothed as fiction – and they claim its main character is three-times divorced Cruise! In "The Actress," Sohn offers a thinly veiled version of Cruise's life, complete with sham marriages and "fake looking relationships with women," say reports. Now sources close to Cruise have told of the Hollywood icon's secret anguish at the sex slurs. Privately, he is blasting the latest lies and false claims that threaten to taint his straight-arrow image. "Tom is fit to be tied!" said an insider. "He is upset when fabricated stories about him are published as if they were the truth. He's also upset that this novel suggests he is leading a closeted homosexual life." Referring to the novel's main character in its July 7 review, "The New York Times" said "obviously he is modeled on Mr. Cruise." But the article also pointed out that the character, unlike Cruise, isn't associated with the controversial religion Scientology. The character "has no religious affiliation with a famously litigious church that might go after the author or publisher," the review noted. An insider added: "Tom must be beside himself over this book. It dredges up all the old gay rumors once again. This is a headache that will simply not go away!" Adding to the big-screen icon's woes, a lawsuit involving his former Scientology auditor and the church's legal affairs adviser, Marty Rathbun, could reveal even more secrets, said the source. The suit is set to be heard by a judge in Texas, and was filed against Scientology by Rathbun's wife, Monique. In it, Rathbun claims she was harassed and even followed to work. Tom with Church of Scientology leader, David Miscavige Chad Slater made false statements about the actor's sexuality "Marty previously claimed that Scientology spied on the actor's every move," added the insider. "If Tom is called to testify in the case, he could face some serious questioning about his private life – and it could settle the issue of whether or not Tom is gay." Marty Rathbun was a Scientologist for 27 years. At one point, his title was "Inspector General of the Religious Technologies Center." Before leaving the church in 2004, Rathbun, 57, conducted "audits" – a form of Scientology counseling – with a slew of celebrity members, including Cruise. In an interview with London's "Independent," Rathbun said Tom invited him to L.A. for auditing sessions in 2001 while the actor was divorcing his second wife, Nicole Kidman. At the time, the "Top Gun" star was also battling gay porn actor Chad Slater over outrageous, false statements about his sexuality. Cruise – who vigorously pursues those who question his sexual orientation – took on Slater after the hunk was quoted in a French magazine as saying he had an affair with Cruise. Slater later recanted. Experts say it's possible information about Cruise's private life could be divulged during testimo- ny in Monique's court case. Top attorney Alison Triessl, who is not involved in the suit but studied it for The ENQUIRER, said: "Any conversation they (Rathbun and Cruise) had during the course of their friendship outside of the auditing process, regardless of how personal they may have been, may very well come out at trial." Another former Scientologist agreed that Tom has plenty to fear if Rathbun testifies. "As Tom's auditor, Marty knows everything about him. Nothing is hidden," Margery Wakefield, who wrote the book "Testimony" about her Scientology experience, told The ENQUIRER. Scientology may also have maintained a secret file on Cruise, said a source. As The ENQUIRER reported in August 2013, a Scientology staffer reportedly provided Scientology leader David Miscavige with detailed, daily reports about the Cruise household for years, former officials said. Later, Cruise – without his knowledge or consent – was reportedly secretly videotaped via hidden cameras during his "auditing sessions." The ENQUIRER also reported that ex Katie Holmes was also audited, according to sources, and the church has those tapes as well. Those tapes were also personally delivered to Miscavige, according to former Scientologist Claire Headley. "David seemed to know everything," the source added. "And some of those secrets have the possibility of emerging in the Rathbun lawsuit." 'WE NEVER DISCLOSE SECRETS'- CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY Responds -- A lawyer for the Church of Scientology has blasted Rathbun to The National ENQUIRER in the past, saying he has "pursued his personal vendetta against" the church for years, "making numerous false, defamatory statements." The lawyer also charged that Rathbun admitted he perjured himself in a court case involving Scientology. Reps from the church pointed out that auditors are Scientology ministers who "have a duty to keep such communications secret, much like a Roman Catholic priest has a religious obligation not to divulge the contents of confessions." In the past, a church rep has also told The ENQUIRER: "The church treats the secrets of parishioners imparted to it as sacrosanct. It never discloses them." The church has also previously denied that it audiotaped or videotaped subjects without their consent. Nor does the church keep "secret files" on its members.

Real Housewives of Atlanta, Season 6 Part 4!!!
Madonna's toyboy Timor Steffens has revealed he prefers older women – because they remind him of his mum. The dancer, 26, has dated the chart-topping singer, 56, since January and despite her age, he hopes they will have children. In an interview with the Mirror, Timor said: "There is an age gap between me and Madonna but I don't notice it. "My girlfriends have always been older than me and that's how I like it. I learn a lot. "Mum is a big inspiration. She is a fighter, a strong independent woman, and any relationship I've had in the past was mostly with women that are independent and like to have an opinion." Netherlands-born Timor told how his mum was so important as he grew up because he had no father figure when his parents split. He said: "I want to be a dad, it's my goal to have my own family, that's there in the back of my mind all the time." Madonna first introduced Timor as her boyfriend at designer Rudolph Valentino's New Year's Eve Party in Switzerland. They have since been inseparable and Timor has become close to her four children. He said: "I hang out with a lot of celebrities. I hang out with their kids, I see the world. "But I do that because I genuinely care for who they are as a person. I'm a very loving person – if I hang out with them it's because I have a big connection with them." Timor says he and Madonna spend much of their time together in the gym. He said: "Madonna is so disciplined with the gym, which is great. "I'm in shape, I've got a washboard stomach but she inspires me to go that extra mile. I call it 'besting' when I workout really hard." Speaking of Madonna's religion, Kabbalah, he said: "I like it, it's spiritual – I'm not a member of it but I am into it." Having worked with the pop star on her music film secretprojectrevolution, Timor said she had inspired him creatively and as a person. He explained: "She always looks for new challenges in life. "When everyone walks the right path, she will walk the left path to show that she has a vision and her own way of expressing. "She is a very strong woman and doesn't need to follow the mainstream. That's what makes her an artist." Madonna was today spotted in Ibiza after celebrating her birthday in Cannes earlier this week.

(1) Pictures provided by the hotel -- when you are taking pictures of the bathroom, a photo of bath products DOESN'T cut it. (2) Should a 4-star hotel bathroom have a tub with SHOWER CURTAINS? (3) Who in god's name uploads pictures of their kids onto TripAdvisor??
Is there a more sinfully delicious meal?
Any recommendations for a password keeper app for IOS? I'm constantly having to use the "forgot password" link for many accounts, websites etc so I'm thinking about downloading an app. There seem to be a lot of them. Any experiences? Thanks in advance.
The best Batman movie. So many awesome lines of dialogue in this movie. From the writer of Heathers.
Scary and disturbing and it's all true.Not an easy film to watch. Compliance 90 minutes 2012 Based on a true incident, this tense drama unfolds as a prank caller pretends to be a cop and convinces a restaurant manager to interrogate her teenaged employee about a supposed theft from a customer -- a situation that soon spins out of control. Cast:Ann Dowd, Dreama Walker, Pat Healy, Bill Camp, Philip Ettinger, James McCaffrey, Matt Servitto, Ashlie Atkinson, Nikiya Mathis, Ralph RodriguezDirector:Craig Zobel
She's surrounded by dressers and hair people and makeup artists while prancing around a set someplace. It's all very "busy actress" and such. What is she supposed to be, a movie star? Who the fuck does this delusional twat think she is and why, in the year 2014, are we still seeing her?
Please [italic]become[/italic] aware! [italic]Examples:[/italic] "Black Officer shoots, kills unarmed teen in Salt Lake City" "George Jefferson was right about white people" The OPs of both those threads are baiting. And, you will find plenty of racist-bait response postings in "Should Darren Wilson get the death penalty for the cold-blooded murder of Michael Brown" that includes the one from r-4.
Who's watching this? I love it!
I'm delighted! We'll get to see him yawning his way through scenes again and get to read all the drama with his fellow stars and his pimp... I mean, "mentor" David Forest. So, are you looking forward to his return?
Who's seen it?! WTF was going on? They were filming their sex romp for "Alfonso's" birthday?
It starts tonight (7/13). From Guillermo del Toro and the guy who does Bate Motel. Starring Corey Stoll, the man with the biggest dildo collection I've ever seen! I'm interested. It's a vampire story that's NOT about some kind of love triangle.
Inspired by the Is Wentworth Miller Black? thread. Jennifer Beals Kyle T. Heffner (also on "Flashdance" as Ritchie) Wentworth Miller Aaron Lohr ("Newsies", the Monkees TV movie as Mickey Dolenz) Any others?
FX does it again! The premiere tonight was killer.
There appears to be a thread about him here "like" every day. Why? Baffleck is the two-time Oscar winner not Damon.
Thank god she kept her clothes on.
I asked this about Anthony Recker earlier. Why or why not?
It seems to me like it is. Liberace is portrayed as being basically a flamer. He's also a lying weasel, promiscuous, flamboyant and vain to the point of disbelief. Scott Thorson is a drug addict, and a clueless idiot. Why couldn't there been someone more normal without these major flaws? Also does anyone feel like Liberace basically ruined Scott's life since he was the one who got him hooked on the drugs. If it were not for the plastic surgery than he would not have been a drug addict.
I've been looking at Youtube videos of men who are being drenched with ice water. Some are wearing white or light colored shirts, so when they are wet, their areolas are completely discernible and sometimes their nipple buds poke straight out. One local weatherman did it yesterday. He's built well, and his entire chest was visible afterward, curly black hairs pressing on his shirt, and dark brown areolas the size of half-dollars. I had to take a commercial break. I hope the video appears on the station's website. What a great way to raise money for an important cause!
This B+ list USA actor who you actually heard of before his current show is shacking up with his niece. He thinks it is fine because she is not blood related. She is barely legal and it has been going on for almost six months. He introduces her as his girlfriend but sometimes she lets it slip they are related... Daniel Sunjata "Graceland"
Can we panic yet?
Since realizing that there is a good chance (1 in 3, maybe 5) that most of humanity will be dead by the time we start hearing 2015's "Song of the Summer" (fuck you Izzy Az!- no wonder we have been doomed) what would you put on the great iPod in the sky?
only I really haven't. And that's the problem. I can't stop thinking about what it'd be like to really be with someone whom I find attractive and vice versa. I get that the people who tell me to 'lower my expectations' are well-intentioned, but I can't just pick anyone and say, 'oh, yeah, I want to spend the rest of my life -- such as it is -- with this person whom I'm not attracted to.' I try not to think about it; if there were a pill I could take where I just wouldn't be attracted to anyone or want anyone then I'd down a whole bottle full of 'em.
That leaves only the lawsuit. The lawsuit will be dropped fairly soon. All that sturm und drang over nothing, just as most of us suspected. Serves you right, hysterical pearl-clutchers. Now everything will be cool until the next gay witch hunt.

The other threads are full. So, to continue our discussion of the previous... Will onetime Broadway "It boy" Cheyenne Jackson ever rebound or will he continue down his wacky path in 2014? What new addictions or maladies will Jackson come down with to generate more Press - Childhood Leukemia, Fibromyalgia, Gluten Intolerance? Will Cheyenne pull a Katie Holmes and finally get away from that cult? Approaching 40, Will Cheyenne ever top tweeting like 12 year-old girls? The drugs, the cults, the social climbing fiancee, and a big Gay summer wedding to wrap it all up. Place your bets, on what other surprises Ms. Jackson has in store for us?
I know she was married to Bogart and Jason Robards, but who else did she sleep with?
I felt the film was too sad for me to completely like it. I enjoyed watching the relationship between Scott and Librace evolve. Although I have to remark if anyone ever came to me and said I want to be everything to you "a husband, best friend, a lover", and start showering me with gifts, I would immediately back out of the relationship because it is weird, and it would mean he would hold the most power in the relationship. I felt bad for Scott who seemed to truly love Liberace, who, I doubt felt the same way for him. In the last scene, when Liberace said I asked you because you made me the happiest, I rolled my eyes. Ya as if. You are probably saying that because no one else would come to your deathbed.
I am. It's getting some respectable reviews, which is enough for me to give a summer series a try.
Are we excited about Extant starring Halle Berry, premiering tonight on CBS?
For most actors who age normally like Matt Damon and Brad Pitt. And for those cosmetically enhanced vampires like Tom Cruise, or Leonardo Di Caprio, they might last a bit longer, but they won't go past 50 that's for sure. It seems to me like that is the age when actor's careers end. Thoughts?
I almost remembering feeling as though he had semi-retired from the novel world, or from the entertainment world for that matter. I remember him giving away free stories on his web site. Now, in the 2010s, he seems to have had a big comeback, with everyone raving about his latest novels, he's getting movie deals, and he's finally become more public, going onto tv chat shows. Was he somewhat more quiet in the 2000s, regardless if that was done purposefully. He just seemed to have faded a bit. Maybe it was just me.
Openly gay actor/screenwriter Wentworth Miller will join the CW's ever-expanding roster of gay and possibly-gay actors when he joins "The Flash" this fall. "The Flash" is an "Arrow" spinoff and stars Grant Gustin as the titular superhero from the DC comics universe. Wentworth will play a villain (of course). In other Wentworth news, he is interviewed in latest issue of Details magazine and has the following to say: [quote] DETAILS: Last year you also publicly came out as gay. Was a burden lifted? Wentworth Miller: I feel more fully expressed. After Prison Break, I came to grips with the fact that my public persona was in misalignment with how I actually felt. I was out to a handful of people in my twenties, and once I hit 30, I was out to family and friends. But professionally, I was feeding a fantasy. I created this air of "We don't address that thing." [quote] DETAILS: Do you ever regret lying in interviews by saying "I'm not gay"? Wentworth Miller: My face was on billboards, and I thought it was my job to act a certain way. But I think audiences knew to a certain degree.
I broke my toe, and so I've been laid up the last 36 hours. I searched for some cool new music and found a couple of gems. Yes, they gave me Percocet. I narrowed down from 8 to 2. These were the two that blew me away- especially the video for the former, and the live Letterman appearance for the latter. The first is by Future Islands, "Seasons Change" and the song takes a few plays before you love it, but the video is jawdroppingly gorgeous and the dude is HAWWWTTT! They even show him without the cowboy hat. Dude is awesome sexy cowboy hot! The second is Kiesza. Inside.
When did they meet? Did Halls already have the kids? Did Bomer have much of a career at the time they got together?
Early this week, Monday I think, I switched on The View for a little while. I stopped watching the show quite a while ago. Barbara Walters was talking and Sherri Shepherd obnoxiously butted in. Barbara was obviously upset and slapped her down so she could finish what she was saying. Sherri shut up and looked like she was pouting and sneering for the rest of the show, even on the couch with some celeb. Every picture I've seen of her this week since then shows the same nasty attitude. Isn't she cutting her own throat? Is she on her way out, too, like Joy and Elisabeth? Sherri and Hasselbitch are why I stopped watching. How can air-head Sherri think that what she says matters or has any relevance to today's world? I know that everyone has the right to their own opinion, but vapid comments like she expresses do not deserve a public forum like The View.

Janet Jackson teams up with producers Ian Cross and Tommy Parker overseas for her NEW album. LOL at the other thread being locked. Stay pressed, haters!
I can't blame her for not wanting to admit she likes cunt. Who would want such a stigma attached to them? But it's not like everyone doesn't already know. Especially after her contract marriage fell apart because her dumb beard/friend was careless. She's almost 50 years old. There is no reason to continue to lie.
Continuing the tradition!
Did anyone here read the famous book? I liked the book, but thought the film was a drag. Maybe they could have made more of it, but I don't really believe there was enough to the book to make a very good film.

The thread about Michael Cunningham's loo got me to thinking about some of my favorite books that were written by gay/lesbian authors, or about LGBT themes. Literate bitches unite! Let's hear your likes (and of course your dislikes too).

I know we'll get a lot of funny replies but if anyone truly does have good ideas, along with links, please, PLEASE share. The Grooms: Two guys, home-bodies but active, kinda bearish. They have two young girls, about 11 and 12 whom they adore. They're really good guys. They live in a larger city now but both are from rural areas. One is actually a pretty big guy, about 6'4", the other not as tall. I believe they would love something for their home and I'd like to focus on something for their yard; maybe a bit of art or something you can use out by a pool. I realize there's gift certificates but a more tasteful, unique gift would be appreciated too, and I suck buying gifts in a big way. Help me? Please?

Hello, this is Michelle Duggar. I'm calling to inform you of some shocking news that would affect the safety of Northwest Arkansas women and children.

Do you feel shallow when you meet someone's partner and they are not attractive or even interesting? Do you wonder what others see that you don't? Do you vow to keep an open mind and not judge? Do you think less of your friend for settling? What if it's really visceral and it's hate at first sight? Do you try to understand the attraction or do you reassess your friendship?
I had a lovely afternoon at Club Dallas this week. Nice and clean facility, great mix of guys, and I had a couple of hot connections. I was impressed. But which one is the best in the country?
Flame away, but the guy is a great interview and he's clearly quick-witted and smart as hell. Stern show replayed an interview with him today from right after "Sarah Marshall" and he was thoroughly engaging (really). One poignant part: Howard asked him about Amy Winehouse and whether her demons would get the best of her. Brand said he thought she'd be able to overcome them and be ok.
in junior high I thought it was boring and smelly and the kids were too brutish. I wish I had stuck with it until puberty hit.
This was on another thread but it deserves its own. I wonder if there is a list like this for free climbers.
One of the hottest under-appreciated designer hunks of the '80s. Kinda resembled Tom Thumb, only taller. Loved him in EUROTRASH. He still looks great today, but here's a pic from back then...

The matriarch of TLC's "19 Kids and Counting" Michelle Duggar has been publicly campaigning against an anti-discrimination bill in her home state of Arkansas. Duggar is the voice behind a robocall opposing a civil rights proposal put forth by Alderman Matthew Petty. Petty devised the bill to handle complaints from Fayetteville residents who have suffered discrimination pertaining to housing, employment, and other public accommodations, according to the Fayetteville Flyer. In the robocall, Duggar -- who is a conservative Baptist -- addresses the issue of transgender individuals' right to use the proper restroom. Hello, this is Michelle Duggar. I'm calling to inform you of some shocking news that would affect the safety of Northwest Arkansas women and children. The Fayetteville City Council is voting on an ordinance this Tuesday night that would allow men – yes, I said men – to use women's and girls' restrooms, locker rooms, showers, sleeping areas and other areas that are designated for females only. I don't believe the citizens of Fayetteville would want males with past child predator convictions that claim they are female to have a legal right to enter private areas that are reserved for women and girls. I doubt that Fayetteville parents would stand for a law that would endanger their daughters or allow them to be traumatized by a man joining them in their private space. We should never place the preference of an adult over the safety and innocence of a child. Parents, who do you want undressing next to your daughter at the public swimming pool's private changing area? City Attorney Kit Williams has responded to criticism stemming from the bathroom argument, highlighting its offensive ignorance, according to the Arkansas Times. "The claim that this ordinance would provide predators with access to women's restrooms in order to assault or leer at girls or women is nothing more than fear-mongering," the statement read, in part. "This ordinance does allow transgender people to use the bathroom in which they feel most comfortable and physically safe. Transgender people — who are far more likely to be the victims of harassment and violence if forced to use a bathroom that is inconsistent with their gender identity or expression — deserve to have the ability to use the bathroom in peace and safety." Duggar's recording is associated with the Family Council, a group promoting "traditional" family values in Arkansas. The group claims the non-discrimination bill, formally known as ordinance 119, "threatens to infringe on the rights of churches as well as religious business people in Fayetteville." KFSM reported many people spoke out against the non-discrimination bill at a city council meeting, and some even took part in a rally. Last month, the Human Rights Campaign released a survey about discrimination against the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community in Arkansas. Twenty-five percent of respondents experienced employment discrimination; 37 percent experienced harassment at work; 39 percent experienced harassment from family; and 45 percent experienced harassment at school.

Sunday's published polls both found that a majority of decided voters want Scotland to stay within the UK alongside England, Wales and Northern Ireland. A poll for the Scotland on Sunday newspaper put support for UK membership at 47 percent, up 2 points; support for independence at 38 percent, up 4 points; and undecided voters at 15 percent. Another survey commissioned by the pro-independence campaign found 46 percent support for the UK; 42 percent for independence; and 12 percent undecided.

Gary Busey in Celebrity Big Brother homophobia row 20th August 2014, 5:16 PM, Gaz Jeffries Celebrity Big Brother contestant Gary Busey has sparked a homophobia row, after asking a housemate if he likes getting "butt-f**ked". According to the Daily Star, the American actor made the remarks today to Strictly Come Dancing professional James Jordan, who is straight. While Jordan with joking with Will & Grace star Leslie Jordan, Busey asked him: "You are gay aren't you?" Jordan tried to clarify that he was comfortable with his sexuality, but Busey continued mocking him, asking him whether he w"to get butt-f**ked", and joking that he had a "little Vaseline tube in every part of his luggage". Jordan warned him: "I've never hit a seventy year old before. "You should be careful what you say, you might be seventy years old but be careful what you say." The series also features fomer UKIP candidate and boxing promoter Kellie Maloneyy, who revealed last Sunday that she is transgender, and has begun to transition. She entered the Celebrity Big Brother house on Monday, with leaks suggesting she would be "one of the most highly paid contestants ever", picking up a rumoured £400,000 fee. Maloney attracted criticism last week when she said: "I'm not homophobic, I have gay friends… I still don't think that children should be brought up in same-sex marriages."
The head of the Missouri GOP is furious that residents of Ferguson have decided to fix their city's 12 percent voter turnout after a police officer shot and killed unarmed Michael Brown. The Executive Director of the Missouri Republican Party has labeled an effort by some Ferguson residents to fix its paltry twelve-percent voter participation rate "disgusting." And he seems to defensively insinuate that Blacks vote for Democrats and whites vote for Republicans. "In an interview with Breitbart News, Missouri RNC executive director Matt Wills expressed outrage about the reports" of voter registration booths popping up in Ferguson, Breitbart reports. "If that's not fanning the political flames, I don't know what is," Wills said, "I think it's not only disgusting but completely inappropriate." Wills explained that the shooting death of Michael Brown was a tragedy for everyone. "This is not just a tragedy for the African American community this is a tragedy for the Missouri community as well as the community of what we call America," he said. "Injecting race into this conversation and into this tragedy, not only is not helpful, but it doesn't help a continued conversation of justice and peace." Wouldn't the director of a political party welcome more potential voters? If not, why not? MSNBC's Steve Benen answers that question. "It appears that some on the right find this 'disgusting,' which is a shame. I'm afraid that says more about those raising the complaints than it does those registering citizens to vote." The far-right wing site Daily Caller chose to inject fear mongering into the voter registration drive. "Liberal activists — including from the George Soros-funded Center for Constitutional Rights — have promoted voter registration booths at multiple locations in Ferguson, including at the roadside memorial marking the spot where Brown was shot." Salon notes that Ferguson "is majority black, but the mayor is white, and five of the six city council members are white. For members of the community who feel their interests aren't being represented, the first step towards changing that is registering to vote." Also, reportedly, only three of the 53 Ferguson police officers are Black.

He nails this frau perfectly: ""She's everything I dislike," he wrote. "I have always loathed the Burtons for their vulgarity, commonness and crass bad taste, she combining the worst of US and English taste. "I treated her with authority, told her not to powder her nose, to come in front of the cameras with it shining. "She wanted compliments. She got none. "Don't touch me like that," she whined! "Her breasts, hanging and huge, were like those of a peasant woman suckling her young in Peru. On her fat, coarse hands more of the biggest diamonds and emeralds... "And this was the woman who is the greatest "draw". In comparison everyone else looked ladylike." And he didn't much care for Grace Kelly, either, saying of her: "If she did not photograph well, we would scarcely stop to look at her on the street... If both sides of her face were the same as the right half she wouldn't be on the screen. That side is very heavy, like a bull calf, but the left side is intensely feminine and creates the counter-point." Me-ow! They sure don't make queens like him anymore.

A recent article on Slate.com about a Reddit subgroup known as "Gaybros" inspired the above conversation on HuffPost Live. Urban Dictionary defines a Gaybro as: "A gay man who acts masculine and is interested in guy stuff like sports, video games, military issues, grilling, knives, gear, working out, gadgets, tech, etc…" but also: "Young masculine homosexual males who exhibit no effeminate characteristics or interests and make a point of going on about how 'normal' they are. Previously they would have refered to themselves as straight acting but that's so 2005. Gaybros have no gay friends because they can't relate to other gay people. This is something else they insist on telling everyone." HuffPost Live invited the founder, Alex Deluca, as well as Tim Karu, a moderator of the Gaybros subreddit, to chat with HuffPost Live host Ahmed Shihab-Eldin, HuffPost Live Producer Mitchell Williams and HuffPost Gay Voices Editor Noah Michelson about the controversial Reddit group. In the clip above, Williams and Michelson discuss why they find the idea of the Gaybros movement somewhat troubling. What do you think about Gaybros? Watch the clip above, see the full segment here and sound off in the comments section below. Check out the full segment at link.

We have all heard of what's going on in Ferguson. And it brought this thought to mind. Just how bad is racism in the U.S.? I live in Canada and faced some racism but have never had anything violent happen to me. (I'm East Asian by the way). I've wanted for a long time to go to the U.S. but based on events in the past few years: Martin Trayvon, this, a couple harassed because their child doesn't "look like" them, I'm reconsidering. I just want your opinion on how bad racism in the America is. It sounds pretty serious to me when you are being gunned down because of your race. What's the point of living in a country where your life is in jeopardy?

I've spent an hour here and there individually unsubscribing to all of this spam, but somehow I end up right back on all of these assholes' mailing lists, so I think one of the petition websites is sharing my information. I just don't give a fuck about any of their causes if they're going to spam me, (half the time looking for money). Fuck them all for greedily sharing my information. This happen to anyone else?

So far I've just flipped around in it... Lee Grant is as no-nonsense as she appears. Unfortunately the "Valley of the Dolls" chapter is only four pages long -- she calls it "Gay Heaven" and says it was one of her first big Hollywood roles after being blacklisted. She liked Patty Duke and Barbara Parkins, but doesn't provide any stories, and thought Sharon Tate was the best of the three when it came to the role (and she misidentifies Martin Milner as Martin Mull). Many years later, she writes, she went to a drag production of the show, laughed a lot, and said the movie should have been made that way. There's a little more info about "Airport '75," which she says fits into the philosophy of "one for the money, two for the show" ("Airport was definitely for the money"). She says they had trouble getting through the scene where the plane is at the bottom of the sea and her character tries to open the door, only to be blocked by Brenda Vaccaro, because the two of them kept laughing at how stupid it was. The best anecdote had to do with a clause in her contract where she specified a stunt double in the scenes when tons of water gush into the plane, because she was afraid of getting hurt. But when it came time to film the scene, she writes, it was Olivia deHavilland who insisted on no stunt double and nearly got drowned. Lee decided that if a 70 year old woman could do it, she could do it. Like I said, not dishy, but at least the chapters are short. Going to read about "Fay" next. Has anyone else read this?
With some trepidation, we're going on a one week NCL cruise from NYC to Bermuda. We're allowed 1 bottle of wine per person but would rather substitute it for liquor (rum or vodka). Does anybody here have suggestions about smuggling booze on a cruise ship, or is it an exercise in futility? TIA!

DLers apparently tend to think of this site as aloof from the mainstream, yet the numerous ALS Challenge threads seem to suggest that, at least on occasion, we too are carried by, and paddle in, the same waters as the larger society. On example I recall is the proliferation of LOLcat threads several years ago. I think there was even a Valley of the Dolls/Helen Lawson LOLcat thread. What are other examples of base and common DL?

Let's clear up a few things. There may have been some real anger and grief about the killing of a young black man, but that is totally over and it was very early on. Now, it is simply a way for angry black people to do to cops what they've always wanted but which is impossible one-on-one, or one-on-many. Time after time with these incidents we never seem to realize that. It takes just the right incident to spark a critical mass to get a little payback for all the indignities of a lifetime. While I abhor it and the fact that it is completely self-defeating, I understand it. Now that "the truth" is slowly coming out, the crowds are shrinking. No one will admit it, of course, but everyone is starting to realize the cop's story is the truth.
Clooney's future mother-in-law, Baria Alamuddin, is the Chairwoman of the "International Arab Charity." They sponsor a school in England, "Esmet Al Said," and promote Arab films in London. Their stated philosophy is as follows: "We feel that we now have a whole generation of young Arabs who have grown up in the West. It is more important than ever for Westerners to gain a sympathetic insight into the Arab mind." Such charities are illegal in the US, because they funnel money to the families of suicide bombers, especially the Palestinians. IAC probably does plenty of good. Still what is taught at their school, the guest lecturers and films presented. If Bill O'Reilly, who has already feuded with Clooney over his politics did an expose, I'd guarantee he'd easily find proof of anti-Western, anti-US, and anti-Sxmitism.

!) Watch ASMR videos on Youtube. If you don't know what ASMR is, look it up! It has everything to do with sensations and tingling. Perfect. 2) Binge-watch TV shows on Netflix. I don't know what it is about being stoned that makes barreling through 5 episodes of "Breaking Bad" or "The Wire" so enjoyable, but it really does. 3) Eating kettle chips and drinking orange juice. Something about the saltiness and crunchiness of the chips mixed with the sugary smoothness of OJ really hits the spot. 4) Jerking off. It is so much better stoned. I love it. Having sex on weed is a disaster though, IMO. I always break out in hysterical laughter. Every time. Jerking off is the better choice for me while high. At least when I crack up, I'm only annoying myself!

Mine, the 70's. My dad listened to a lot of Donna Summer and late 70's disco in the car when we were driving around and stuff, I still love that music. was quite a spaced out kid. The only thing I thought about was how glamorous it would be to run away from home. It wasn't even a rebellious thing really, I would ask my mom what I should pack if I run away. I was in love with Andy Gibb and pretended he was my boyfriend.

Ousted "Meet the Press" anchor David Gregory was paid $4 million to leave NBC and signed a contract not to speak out against the network, sources told Page Six. Gregory, 43, who moderated the show for six years, was unceremoniously dumped from the political program on Thursday after dismal ratings and months of speculation about his departure. He has been replaced by NBC White House correspondent Chuck Todd. A source said Gregory's contract extended into next year, so NBC had to pay him for the rest of the term, plus an extra fee to ensure his silence. In return, he was asked to sign a nondisparagement clause, which explains — despite the drama behind the scenes — his saccharine message on Twitter to announce his departure. "I leave NBC as I came — humbled and grateful. I love journalism, and serving as moderator of MTP was the highest honor there is," he tweeted, adding, "I have great respect for my colleagues at NBC News and wish them all well. To the viewers, I say thank you." But quietly, sources say, Gregory is "angry and humiliated" at the way he was treated by NBC suits who let him twist in the wind through months of painful speculation before finally pulling the plug. Page Six reported that Gregory confronted NBC brass last week after continuous rumors he would be replaced by Todd. NBC has tapped Andrea Mitchell to host this week's show, denying Gregory a chance to say farewell — or anything else — on air. Todd takes over on Sept. 7. NBC declined to comment. Gregory's future may be at CNN. Page Six has reported that the network was developing a pilot for him, while others speculate he could land on "Crossfire" with Newt Gingrich, which could use an authoritative moderator. Meanwhile, Ann Curry, another NBC colleague who suffered an awkward departure, lent Gregory support via Twitter. Quoting the Dalai Lama, she wrote: "@DavidGregory Hoping "in place of this turmoil come confidence,integrity+dignity, heroic qualities all human beings…aspire to.'-HHDL"

I live in a building with lots of actors, retired, and disabled people. I work a M-F office job. Yet on Sundays - daytime and evening - the laundry room is packed and often washers/dryers are not available due to the retired, disabled, and actors who I know are currently in Broadway shows all doing their laundry. Why does everyone who can do their laundry pretty much any other time choose to do it when a large population of us with very limited laundry time can do it? Anyone else have this problem?

Pat O'Brien has shred Nancy O'Dell, his partner from their days on the set of "Access Hollywood." O'Brien claims O'Dellonce boasted to a crowded room that "she knew how to perform oral sex without actual oral sex." He adds she once broke down in tears complaining that her first husband made her watch the show with him at night and demanded "that she had to tell him he was better looking than her." She confessed she had never read a book "cover to cover," he writes, O'Dell — now the co-host of "Entertainment Tonight" — "could read a teleprompter with the best of them; the problem was she never knew what she was saying," he writes. She always had her eye on Mary Hart, then the longtime host of "Entertainment Tonight," who was known as "the velvet claw." "You're going to get scratched but you won't notice until you bleed," he writes about working with Hart. "She was the silent vampire."

Turd. On Saturday, Phyllis Schlafly hosted a very special 25th anniversary edition of "Eagle Forum Live," in which she received laudatory messages from a number of fans, including Iowa Republican congressman Steve King. King called in to congratulate Schlafly on her organization's "wonderful success" and to tell her that he carries "in my jacket pocket every day" a copy of her 1964 book "A Choice Not An Echo"…right next to his Bible. Schlafly returned the praise, saying, "We try to get good people like Steve King situated in Congress, where they can keep us faithful to the Constitution."

In this week's "City Arts & Lectures" program on KQED, the guest is Alec Baldwin. He comes across as extremely intelligent, articulate, creative, liberal, and reasonable. Definitely he got not only the looks and talent, but the smarts in that family. Of special interest to DL'ers of late, he took all the air out of these ridiculous, demeaning comments so common hereabouts regarding the relative significance to an actor's career of working on stage, in movies, or on television series. In a nutshell, he boils it down to LIFESTYLE choice. He uses Gary Sinise as an example of an actor with impeccable acting cred who has chosen to work on a tv series so that his kids can have a normal life.
Yes, that's my kneejerk opinion after having spent the last three months having to be there for business. In the spirit of full disclosure yes, I'm a recent resident of New York, but I'm originally from a small city down south, so I'm not trying to throw "flyover state" type of shade. (I live in Boston now). Yes, there are wonderful people here, and the area is very pretty, in the summer which is about 3 months out of the year. I've been visiting the area the last two years, during all two seasons they have. I've been there almost non-stop the last few months and reserved judgement until I couldn't take it anymore. But it's the people in general, or most of them who've left such a negative impression on me. An area, two cities I expected would be generally full of friendly, welcoming people is infested by wanna-be hipster types, trying really, really hard to be a sort of Portland OR or Brooklyn or Austin. That's the primary takeaway: Most of the under-50 crowd in the cities are full of people who've apparently become so taken by the 'hip', creative and independent cultures so prevalent in places like NYC and such, they've become convinced they've become it. Think lots of horned-rimmed glasses on late 20s-late-30s guys, lots of going on about the "arts" district and their tech hubs (which really don't exist at all) and their art scene, etc. etc. A sort of snarky, pretentious, poseur crowd but it's not just a passing whiff of it, both towns simmer in the stench of it. It's mostly a frozen wasteland with a bit of a regional economy. The people in both cities snark and mince about the people who live in the outlying areas.. Not the burbs, but the small town Minnesota folks. They're awful Datalounge. Awful, awful people and I want to be done with them!
What's the point? You don't get high. It smells sweet and smoky and you don't get high. I went to one in Austin last night and it was so boring.

Last week, I slept with someone who is married, and now I'm feeling guilty. First of all, I should say that while I consider myself gay and have only dated guys since high school, I do enjoy having sex with women every now and then – which is what happened here. She is a good deal older than me: she is in her early 40s (and smoking hot), while I am in my 20s. What makes me feel the weirdest about it is that, earlier that evening, I had gone out to dinner with her, her husband, and a few others. Another thing I should mention is that the husband is a good deal older than she is – as in about 30 years older. So maybe they have a sort of understanding, as I'm sure his libido and her libido aren't exactly at the same level these days. She somewhat hinted at this, but I didn't press the issue. (They don't have any kids together BTW, though they have been together for over ten years.) So, should I just get over it and move on? Anyone here have a similar experience that they felt guilty about afterwards? I know it's not a huge deal – married people sleep around all the time – but I do feel a tinge of guilt, though I wouldn't say I regret it. The sex was amazing, but that's beside the point.

A few months ago I discovered Dark Shadows on Netflix. It has since been taken off... boo/hiss. Anyway, I fell in love with Joan Bennett. She was quite beautiful, even under the harsh lighting of daytime television. This lead me to watch some of her movies. She was in a lot of film noir. Apparently her movie career ended after a scandal in which her husband shot her agent, who may or may not have been her lover. She must have been a fascinating woman and she had a great career. Luckily she was able to transition to television. Do people consider her one of the greats? Let's talk.

Anderson Cooper acting as the "live, on-the-scene" reporter who is, quite obviously, somewhere else other than where he says he is. According to radio and TV host Alex Jones, a close examination of this Cooper broadcast, in which the host claimed he was standing in front of a church in Newtown, Conn., at a funeral for one of the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. A close examination of that footage shows that, at one point, Cooper's nose disappears, a result, Jones says, of using a so-called "blue screen" backdrop - a technological prop that allows producers to project an image behind the reporter, making it seem as though he or she may be somewhere they are not. It's all there, in high definition "He's supposedly there, at Sandy Hook, in front of the memorial, and his whole forehead and nose blurs out," Jones explains in the clip. "I've been working with blue screen for 17 years. I know what it looks like. It's clearly blue screen. Clearly." Continuing, Jones said, "I thought, that's got to be somebody's doctored YouTube. There's no way" that could be real. Jones said he and his staff went to CNN's website and found the link "where the whole interview had been posted. It's been removed. Oh, by the way, just like some of the earlier clips of Robby Parker had been removed, I forgot that." Parker is the father of six-year-old victim Emilie Parker, who said he was not angry over what had happened. Next, he checked a site called Archive.org, which is a group that archives all such broadcasts. Jones said he found the original CNN footage there. "It was all unedited, right there, exact same footage in high def," he said. InfoWars Nightly News broadcast the clip of Cooper, and it clearly shows the anomaly Jones described. An unnamed citizen journalist put together the montage after confronting Cooper during his current Anderson Live program and calling him a "liar" after the CNN host denied the allegations he was standing in front of a blue screen during said interview. See for yourself at link below

Press release: "Following coordinated attacks on civilians and law enforcement, Governor Nixon signs executive order directing Missouri National Guard resources to Ferguson" August 18, 2014 Jefferson City, MO - Gov. Jay Nixon has signed an executive order directing additional resources through the Missouri National Guard to help restore peace and order and to protect the citizens of Ferguson. "Tonight, a day of hope, prayers, and peaceful protests was marred by the violent criminal acts of an organized and growing number of individuals, many from outside the community and state, whose actions are putting the residents and businesses of Ferguson at risk. I join the people of Ferguson, and all Missourians, in strongly condemning this criminal activity that included firing upon law enforcement officers, shooting a civilian, throwing Molotov cocktails, looting, and a coordinated attempt to block roads and overrun the Unified Command Center. These violent acts are a disservice to the family of Michael Brown and his memory, and to the people of this community who yearn for justice to be served, and to feel safe in their own homes. Given these deliberate, coordinated and intensifying violent attacks on lives and property in Ferguson, I am directing the highly capable men and women of the Missouri National Guard to assist Colonel Ron Replogle and the Unified Command in restoring peace and order to this community."

Ann Coulter writes of Trayvon Martin's parents Trayvon Martin's Parents are lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by grief-arazzies. I have never seen people enjoying their child's death so much. To speak out using the fact they are parents of killed children. This is the left's doctrine of infallibility. If they have a point to make about gun control, about how to handle stand your ground, how about sending in somebody we are allowed to respond to. No. No. No. We have to respond to someone who had a child die. Because then if we respond, oh you are questioning their authenticity. Don't use the fact that you lost a child as the basis for being able to talk about, while preventing people from responding. Let Joe Biden make the point. Let Bill Clinton make the point. Don't put up someone I am not allowed to respond to without questioning the authenticity of their grief. That is the point of liberal infallibility. Of putting up Trayvon Martin's parents, of putting out the mother, of putting out the father. No, no, no. You can't respond. It's their doctrine of infallibility. Have someone else make the argument then. Democrats always try to "find the victims who agree with [them], and send out weeping parents to argue with the Republicans."

Dont worry, i could give a crap when the little twats will post something here that they feel is witty and funny, and its usually not. so go ahead. doubt any of you are creative enough to make me laugh. Now, for the rest of you. When i was in my twenties gay men , older ones really did not serve well as role models. I would look for direction and most old gays are like old hag women who are still trying to act and look like they are 20yrs. which to me is sad. boo hoo. so as an older gay now, i am more in touch with my stable masculine energy (i credit my lesbian sister with that) and when needed i let in some feminine energy, but only in small parts as its the excess of that energy that fuels moronic shows like all the housewives shows and the fact that that stupid little twat andy cohen is on TV. So, go at it little spelling bee twats, and other young homos post here questions for old homo twats

Just saw this for the first time. It launched the careers of Ralph Macchio, C. Thomas Howell, Tom Cruise, Emilio Estevez, Patrick Swayze... The extras blather on about the exhaustive casting and rehearsal process, but you''d never know it- not one frame rings true. I guess I saw the later director''s cut with rock music instead of orchestrations, and Rob Lowe''s deleted scenes added back in (wouldn''t he blow Francis or something?). It just feels like Tiger Beat Community Theater. Lots of hair blowing against the sunset, etc. They are toughs like Michael Jackson''s posse in the video "Bad". Just... weird.
She's in multiple sci-fi films. I think she's "okay", but I do wish that she would share her roles with other people because seeing one person in multiple movies does get annoying sometimes. Also, I think guardians of the galaxy would be a stronger film without her because she's not very pretty.
I would run out in a minute flat. Something's not right here.
I love a suit and tie guy, and nothing gets me more turned on than thinking about him taking his shoes off after a hard day at work and smelling the insides of them. Inhaling the sweat and then smelling his dress socked feet as he places them on my face. Anyone else agree?
He collected Joan Crawford movie posters as a child. *eyeroll* WHAT a surprise....
I remember when he was the announcer on the original, Art Fleming-hosted Jeopardy! (And yes, Luise, he was just a child.)
Now we're free to be together.
What crime would you choose to commit?
And she's British. And pretty. "A huge star on the American evangelical Christian scene, Vicky Beeching found the stress of being gay in a very conservative community almost intolerable and became seriously ill. Having come out, she wants to spread the message that you don't have to choose between your faith and your sexuality. Here she tells how she reached breaking point."
80''s cutie. Director of "Burlesque". What a shame.
Very draggy looking, as well. I haven't seen her in years, so was kind of shocked.

Will Hep-V melt Bill's (dead) intestines and cause them to leak through his vamp holes, or will Sookie's fairy vagina reinvigorate all the creatures of Bon Temps? Will Pam and Eric drain that brazen religious flipp-flopper Sarah and walk the Earth forever? Will La-La get married with James and live on V-laced cum for the rest of his life? Or will he remain a horrible stereotypical caricature of the Lafayette he once was? And most importantly, will Jason FINALLY get some dick up that sweet ass of his?!
[quote]Don Pardo, whose voice was synonymous with "Saturday Night Live" for generations of fans, has died. The radio and TV announcer was 96. [quote]Pardo lent his voice to every season of "SNL" except one, making his the longest tenure of anyone associated with the show (creator Lorne Michaels was away for five years in the 1980s). He also missed one episode in 2013 due to a hip injury. "SNL" alum Darrell Hammond filled in for him then, doing his best Pardo impression throughout the show. [quote]Since his official retirement from NBC in 2004, Pardo would often pre-record the "SNL" intros from his home in Arizona. [quote]A 2010 inductee into the Television Hall of Fame, Pardo's credits also included game shows like "The Price Is Right" and the original version of "Jeopardy!." Appropriately, he also made a cameo on "Weird Al" Yankovic's 1984 song parody, "I Lost on Jeopardy." [quote]Pardo was also a dedicated newsman and was the first to tell NBC viewers that President Kennedy had been shot in Dallas in 1963. He was also a war reporter for NBC Radio during World War II.

We were laying on a bed, clothed, just talking. He had the most beautiful, thoughtful blue eyes. He said, "There's just not room in this world for me any longer, I need to go. There are other people who deserve to be here." And he smiled, like it was ok. But I felt this intense pain and sadness from him. In my dream I was heartbroken, but knew there was nothing I could do but just stay with him as long as I could. I woke up so sad because it felt so real. I understand dreaming about a friend or relative, but it surprised me, having such an intense dream about a celebrity. Have you ever dreamed about a celebrity after they died? Please share it.
It really seems like this point he is the only person who can diffuse this situation. Not even the National Guard can control things there right now. I'm sure there are high level discussion going on right now to get him there. In all fairness, people were screaming at George W. Bush when he didn't show up in New Orleans a few days after Katrina. This is starting to look like that type of event, obviously not in terms of damage or death risk, but in terms of a national crisis that demands decisive and authoritative action. I really feel like this is going to escalate. Ferguson leaders clearly have no interest in meeting the citizens half way.
[quote]With several members of a family looking on in horror, police say the woman "hiked up her dress and engaged in an intimate act with several lawn chairs." She then began urinating on the lawn before "quite purposefully exposing her genitalia, and then posterior, to the family inside the home," according to police.

Edge of Tomorrow opens tomorrow and is getting raves. It has an 89 on rotten tomatoes! The NY Times said the movie catapults Tom right back into the stratosphere and demonstrates vividly why he is (and will be again?) our biggest star. Critics love Tom again. Are the public next????
posted a profile on silver daddies. He's an IT tech and he has a ltr with some doctor who pays his bills and keeps him up. He has been such a fucking ass to me on a daily basis for several years. I printed out a copy of the whole thing because I knew he would see that I looked at his profile, and I actually wanted him to know I saw it. So, the worm has turned...

There was a porn flick where one scene had a handsome, nerdy bossy guy in an office. Another guy came in and Nerdy Boss hauled out an enormous schwanz. I think this GIF is from that (not sure, though). Anyone remember that movie or the name of the big dicked actor (who I think has died since then)?
Last week, my partners father had a heart attack. I took off from Tuesday through Friday to be with my partner and his father. Today, I get called into my managers office and HR is sitting with them. They asked me to obtain a note from my father-in-laws Cardiologist excusing me for the week. To give some background: I am in the middle of a 90 day Plan for attendance. Earlier this year, I had to take off from work due to emotional issues but always brought in a doctors note. I told them I believe in "family first". I went to my partners family knowing I am on a Plan. They don't care and want a note. Personally, I think the cardiologist will tell me to screw. He did not see me the whole time. I was in and our, and so was he. I am considering getting a note from my doctor and saying I had to take the time off to attend to family and emotional issues. I think the company is out of line. Also, I know HR is working in the best interest of the company and not me. After the meeting I went to my manager and asked "Are you trying to get rid of me"?. She said no. She said it was her obligation to tell them due to the Plan. She also said, she does not want to lose me because the company will not give her a replacement req.

Because the previous thread, once again, won't open. So Frankie and Derrick seem to have made up. Derrick tells Frankie that he still wants to go to a Broadway show with him and go to Africa as well. Derrick tells Frankie what hurt him most was he thought Frankie may have been lying about making plans with him outside of the game. Derrick to Frankie - I am who I say I am. But he hasn't told anyone he's a cop, has he?
I heard that he''s bisexual. Does anyone know anything about that? He sure was pretty in his day.
Share your shame with Datalounge. We're very forgiving of others missteps.

I'm leaning toward some kind of mind manipulation. Chemtrails, nanobots, whatever. He was a good kid. Young, smart and attractive. He enjoyed playing video games and banging chicks like most dudes. Then he suddenly shuts down, changes his appearance and kills a bunch of people. That's pretty scary. It could happen to anyone apparently.

Seriously, this poor woman is a fucking moron, the very textbook definition of buffoon. She's been booted from two previous networks, CNN finally got her off the air at the main network after she proved to be an embarrassment on their early program..

Let me tell you about this woman that I worked with at an upscale Manhattan hotel.(Her pic is at link) Unattractive, crude, more than a few pounds overweight and very dishonest. Threw the race card out there whenever things didn't go her way. Her favorite expression if she got mad at someone is to say "They can suck my dick." Is so manly in her behavior and dress that once when she was in the public restroom in the lobby a concerned woman rushed up to the front desk to report that they had just spotted a man in the women's room. It was no man, it was this employee. Liked to have loud, threatening fights with her girlfriend Keisha on her cellphone in front of her co-workers during work time. Showed up at employee outings in appropriate attire and often swigging from liquor bottles. Got a male employee in big trouble for playfully referring to her as Whoopi because of her resemblance to Whoopi Goldberg. They both had a similar dreadlock hairstyle at the time. She ran to HR and claimed this employee was racist for calling her this.She quietly confided to some co-workers that the real reason she got the guy in trouble was because she felt Whoopi Goldberg is ugly and she was upset with the comparison. (For the record, WG is better looking than this woman.) Just stopped coming to work for more than two weeks and had her mother call in with some lame excuse for her even though she is a grown woman who should have called herself. Has only a HS education (don't even know if she ever managed to graduate) from a failing NYC public school. Every time, there was any type of managerial opening, she ran to HR to apply for it. She was totally unqualified for these posts but she felt she deserved them. Then when she didn't get the post, she'd have a chip on her shoulder blaming racism as the real reason. Finally, her suck-up boss and other cowardly powers that be gave her one of those meaningless Assnt. Mgr. titles just to keep her happy. She finally got into trouble for physically assaulting a Chinese menu guy that had been caught sneaking into the building and was slipping menus under guest room doors.The policy was to fill out a trespassing form, contact their bosses at the restaurant and if they are uncooperative then to call police. She decided instead to kick this tiny Asian guy's ass leaving him with bruises and cuts before calling the police. Management sent her home for the day but didn't end up firing her. I'm sure they didn't want it to appear that they were being racist. I could go on and on with other tales about this troublemaking walking disaster.I hate companies with spineless management that won't effectively confront these types of employees.

Given upcoming Halloween and horror movies (and inspired by the other murder thread), I feel this is an appropriate time for this thread. Anybody ever head a close-call or creepy real-life interaction with a killer? Anybody around Milwaukee in the late '80s/early '90s during the Dahmer year who met him or know somebody who had? Or back in the '70s in the Gacy years? (Shudder)
I'm starting to appreciate some of the old tunes from the '20s and '30s. They all seemed a bit "Moon In June" to me in the past, but I'm starting to think some of them are quite charming.

So this is inspired by the "Gaiety" thread. I have lived in Manhattan for a decade, and I'm just now hearing about all of these cool places from "old New York" that existed when I first moved here, but have since been shuttered. I'm so angry that I missed out on so much of the stuff that made NYC the stuff of legend... because, let's be honest, now it's pretty whitewashed. So... What are your favorite NYC secret/scandalous/weird/unique/bygone-era places or events that are still around and worth a visit?
Most gay porn is so vanilla. Lousy camera angles, boring models, no sensuality. The worst is when it's 20 minutes of passionless banging and asshole closeups. Oral cumshots are extremely rare. Straight porn actually shows of the girls, and the girls act just so much more into it.
Ok DL nerds, I read short story years ago about a perfect city where everything is all peaches and cream. Only problem is, the city is great because a young child is kept prisoner at the bottom of the city to adsorb all the cities pain. A young kid learns of this, and decides to leave the city because he can't handle knowing the truth, rather than reveal the truth to everyone. Any ideas?

My friends grandmother died and because he's a good friend I wanted to write something more personal in my condolence card to the family. Here's the rub, all I remember about her was that she was an old Jewish lady who was widowed at 50 and spent the next 35 years fucking every black man of a certain age in her town. Could I say "her fiery spirit?"
Why did the good cousin's parents abandon her? How come no one ever commented that if one was facing the camera, the other one's back was to the camera? I think this is set in Brooklyn, which seems a little too residential to be Brooklyn. Was this filmed during Patty Duke's slut phase? From the hairdos, I am assuming that it's the 60s. Was she a slut in the 60s or the 70s?

Matt Damon thinks so. He has said, "a misogynist, an imperialist, he's all the things that Bourne isn't. He kills people then drinks a Martini." Do you agree with him? What are your thoughts on this?
If you like boiled peanuts, the season started at my Kroger this week. The put out a big table mound of green raw peanuts in the Produce Section. Most groceries in the South sell them when the crop's in. Green peanut season only lasts about 6 weeks and once they're gone, they're gone till next August. If you have a pressure cooker, may I alert you that your magic cooker will have your eating your peanuts MUCH FASTER than boiling them on a stovetop. About 30 minutes a pound. NB: rock salt is much cheaper than iodized salt.

Jim Jeffords, the former senator from Vermont who single-handedly redrew the national political map in 2001 when, after a quarter-century as a moderate Republican lawmaker, he declared himself an independent, shifting control of the Senate to the Democrats, died on Monday in Washington. He was 80. The cause was complications of pneumonia, his son, Leonard, said. Vermont's lone congressman from 1975 until his election to the Senate in 1988, Mr. Jeffords was a solid Republican on military issues. But as early as 1981, when he voted against President Ronald Reagan's package of tax and budget cuts — the only House Republican to do so — he showed a disinclination to be bound by his party's conservative orthodoxy. A supporter of abortion rights, gay rights and the National Endowment for the Arts — left-leaning stances perhaps befitting an elected representative of a state that had become one of the nation's bluest — he was in favor of the health care plan proposed by President Bill Clinton and opposed Mr. Clinton's impeachment. He backed legislation promoting environmental protection, funding for education and aid for the disabled. He voted against President George Bush's nomination of Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court. But many of his Republican colleagues were shocked when, after the election of George W. Bush in 2000, his displeasure with the further rightward shift of the party caused him to abandon it and to caucus with the Democrats as an independent. As chairman of the Education and Labor Committee (in 1999, under his watch, the name was changed to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions), he had become frustrated by what he viewed as Republican parsimony. He was especially unhappy with a tax-cutting bill backed by President Bush that diminished funding for public education and that did not provide full support for a program that would bring special education students into the mainstream. "Increasingly, I find myself in disagreement with my party," Senator Jeffords said in announcing his decision on May 24, 2001. "I understand that many people are more conservative than I am, and they form the Republican Party. Given the changing nature of the national party, it has become a struggle for our leaders to deal with me and for me to deal with them." The move came at a sensitive political moment: The Senate was split between 50 Republicans and 50 Democrats, but the Republicans held the tiebreaking vote in Vice President Dick Cheney. After Mr. Jeffords's defection, the Democrats, with their slim advantage, made Mr. Jeffords chairman of the Committee on Environment and Public Works and replaced him on the health and education committee with Senator Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts. The Democrats' plurality in the Senate lasted only 18 months, however — until the midterm elections of 2002, when Republicans took back control. Mr. Jeffords, voting mostly with the Democrats from then on, retired in 2007. He was succeeded by an even more left-leaning independent, Bernie Sanders.

Just as CNN's Brianna Keilar threw to Don Lemon, who was reporting live from the street in Ferguson, Missouri early Monday evening he told her, "I think we're about to be arrested." Lemon did not end getting detained by officers there, but they did attempt to physically push him back away from CNN's camera, shouting, "Move out of the way, sir. Move!" "We've been standing here all day," Lemon continued to report as the officer moved him and other protesters back. "We've got rights!" a woman behind him screamed. "I'm not going to resist a police officer," Lemon said and he moved backwards. "Now you see why people are so upset here, because we have been here all day," he added. "We're on national television. So imagine what they are doing to people when you don't see on national television, the people who don't have a voice like we do." At one point, Lemon tried to ask the officer why he was trying to move people out of the area but was unable to get a straight answer. Eventually he was simply told that there were "traffic concerns" and the police were trying to move everyone to a parking lot nearby. "I think from my perspective here, the police actually created the traffic situation and the situation that's going on, the chaos here, rather than the people who are just standing here," Lemon reported. Watch video below, via CNN:

Canada is proposing to strip citizenship from people found guilty of some serious crimes, even someone born in Canada, but who for whatever reason also holds the citizenship of another country. The classes of crime in question are serious: treason, terrorism and specific military crimes such as spying for the enemy in time of war. But however serious the offence, when someone is born here, he or she is Canadian, for good or ill. Not anymore if Canada has anything to do with it. With more and more terror babies born in Canada, the government will now have to option to STRIP citizenship from Canadian born criminals, and ship them to the country they hold dual citizenship with!

Justin Timberlake found himself the target of widespread Twitter outrage this weekend when he allegedly sent Madonna a birthday tweet calling her his "mother chucking ninja." Followers quickly pounced on him for his use of the phrase, which is commonly understood as an alternate way of saying "mother f---ing n---a." The tweet, which has since been deleted, reportedly read: "A happiest of Bdays to my mother chucking ninja, @Madonna!! Hope you have a great one, M!" Users took him to task immediately after it was posted, responding with tweets like, "I just ended my relationship w/Justin," and "Get Justin Timberlake the f--k out of here." Some seemed to point out the unfortunate timing of his tweet, given the situation in Ferguson, Mo. "Justin Timberlake chose *this* week to call Madonna 'my ninja'?" one wrote. "I just can't." As Grantland pointed out in 2012, "ninja" has been used in the past by other stars, too. Katy Perry, for example, substituted it when she covered Kanye West's "N----s in Paris" during a Radio 1 performance that year. No doubt because of the outrage, Timberlake deleted his birthday message to his "4 Minutes" duet partner Madonna, who turned 56 on Saturday, Aug. 16. One day later, he retweeted a message from Matt Morris about the events in Ferguson: "The world is watching #Ferguson. [And we pray.]"

Authorities said Rep. Henry Rayhons abused his wife in May at the nursing home where she lived. Donna Rayhons, 78, died Aug. 8. Henry Rayhons, 78, is a Republican from Garner who has served in the House since 1997. He announced this month that he would not seek re-election in November. Authorities said the felony charge stemmed from an incident at the Concord Care Center in Garner. A criminal complaint filed Friday by the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation said Rayhons admitted having sexual activity with his wife, who reportedly had Alzheimer's disease. Henry Rayhons' son, Dale Rayhons, called the arrest the result of "a witch hunt." Dale Rayhons said Friday evening that the charge was based on a report by Donna Rayhons' roommate of unclear sounds coming from behind a curtain. "This is unbelievable, what's going on," Dale Rayhons said. "He's the kindest person you'd ever meet." Dale Rayhons said that while authorities say his father admitted to sexual contact, "that could be anything from a hug or a kiss." The criminal complaint said Rayhons acknowledged being told May 15 that his wife did not have the cognitive ability to consent to sexual activity. On May 23, Henry Rayhons went into his wife's room and pulled the curtain closed, the complaint said. Donna Rayhon's roommate told authorities she heard noises indicating Henry Rayhons was having sex with Donna Rayhons, the complaint said. Surveillance video showed Henry Rayhons leaving his wife's room and discarding undergarments into a laundry bag, the complaint said. DCI agents arrested Rayhons on Friday. He was released from jail after posting $10,000 cash as bail, court records show. Elizabeth Barnhill, executive director of the Iowa Coalition Against Sexual Assault, said it used to be legal for a man to have sex with a nonconsenting wife. But the Legislature passed a bill about 25 years ago that defined such an act as a crime, she said. However, she noted that Iowa law still specifies that a sexual assault perpetrated by one spouse on another is not considered a "forcible felony." People convicted of forcible felonies are more likely to serve long prison sentences. Barnhill said few Iowans are arrested on charges of sexually assaulting a spouse, Barnhill said. "Convictions are even rarer," she said. She added that sex assault prosecutions can be especially complicated if a victim has died or is mentally incompetent to testify about what happened. Henry and Donna Rayhons were married in 2007. Two months ago, a Hancock County judge ordered that her daughter, Suzan Brunes, be made her temporary guardian, the Mason City Globe Gazette reported in June. Brunes told the judge that Henry Rayhons had removed her mother from the facility without staff permission and that he had failed to follow instructions not to be in her room with the door closed and not to enter the room because of conflicts with her roommate. Henry Rayhons abruptly dropped his re-election bid earlier this month. In the statement announcing his exit from the contest, Rayhons said he had "ongoing family and health matters to attend to." Rayhons said when he quit the race that he intended to complete his current term, which ends in January. A spokeswoman for House Republicans confirmed Friday that he had not resigned his seat. Party officials nominated a new candidate for his seat, Terry Baxter of Garner, in a special convention Thursday. An online biography posted by the Republican Party describes Henry Rayhons as a semiretired farmer. A spokeswoman for Republican House Speaker Kraig Paulsen said Friday that he would have no comment. Donna Rayhons' obituary said she was married 48 years to Leonard "Slim" Young. They farmed, kept bees and became ecclesiastical ministers in the Catholic Church, the obituary said. Her first husband died in 2001.

"Police are searching a Berkshire property belonging to Sir Cliff Richard in relation to an alleged historical sex offence. No arrests have been made and Sir Cliff is not at the property.

I know he's married to a woman. But he's very good-looking, especially for his age, and takes incredibly good care of himself. And his films are the gayest things ever. Plus, he tends to focus on the asses of his male stars: GATSBY has a very tight tracking shot basically on Joel Edgington's muscular ass as he gets off his polo pony and walks into his mansion, and Luhrmann similarly focused very much on Paul mercurio's ass in STRICTLY BALLROOM.

Original Buffy the Vampire Slayer Kristy Swanson doesn''t agree with Joss Whedon that revisiting the 1992 movie is a bad idea.\ \ In fact, the 40-year-old actress is touting for a role in Warner Brothers'' remake.\ \ "If they wanted me to be a part of it, I think that would be fantastic and that it would be a blast," she told Entertainment Weekly.\ \ Her enthusiam isn''t shared by Buffy creator Whedon, whose response to the remake announcement came via a sardonic written statement to E! Online, in which he called it "a sad, sad reflection on our times, when people must feed off the carcasses of beloved stories from their youths."\ \ But Swanson has no such reservations, adding: "There are die-hard Joss Whedon fans who absolutely love him to death, and rightly so; he''s a brilliant man, no doubt. I love everything Buffy. I don''t care who''s doing it."\ \ Swanson''s co-star Luke Perry has so far declined to give his reaction.

I have two computers: one is a desktop; the other is a notebook. I have had freezes, lockups; spinnings; some video not play. The desktop is five years old. The notebook is about three. I have been frustrated by this with thinking it may have been settings. But, over two days, this has gone on with both computers. At the same time, Microsoft Outlook (for old Hotmail) has me locked out and it has an alternate e-mail address I no longer use. I had it send me a code to my alternative e-mail address, Microsoft Outlook did not send it. I'm thinking there is a problem with Microsoft. I have version Windows 7. I also run Mozilla Firefox. I'm thinking of getting a new computer. But, I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to abandon Microsoft and get a Mac. And I would welcome other suggestions for free e-mail providers. Anyone have some similar issues with what I've described? Has anyone made the switch from PC to Mac - and glad he/she did?
Yet ANOTHER HuffPost piece by a mom about why you're a terrible person for judging her because her child is running wild in public. This time it's because her son is ADHD and she doesn't believe in medication. ************************* You've seen him in restaurants; he's the loud one who rudely disrupts the other diners. On the first day of school, he's the kid in your child's class who you see spinning and wiggling and you think, Please let him not be sitting next to my child. When you pass out your child's birthday party invites, he's the kid you'd just as soon not invite. At soccer practice, he's the one on your child's team who makes you think, Why do his parents even bother bringing him? At the grocery store, he's the brat who makes you think, His parents need to learn to control their kid. But there are some things you don't know about that wild, unruly child... You don't know that from the time he was 2, his parents received daily notes home from preschool saying things like: "During storytime, your child ran around the room instead of sitting on the carpet." "Your child was disruptive during naptime." "Your child did not finish any of his work today." You don't know that when his worried mom first shared her concerns with her trusted friends and relatives, they said things like: "That behavior is normal at his age." "All little boys are hyper!" "It's because he's so smart -- he's just bored!" You don't know that at his preschool Christmas pageant, he was shoved all the way in the back where he would be less conspicuous, which meant his parents were unable to take a video of him. Not that he was doing anything worthy of recording as a family memory; instead of singing the songs that had been rehearsed ad nauseam, he jumped, squirmed, spun and made weird faces. You don't know that at his pre-kindergarten graduation, when he said his memorized line at the microphone better than any other child in his class, his mother burst into tears, not out of pride, but out of relief. You don't know that in kindergarten, he was threatened with expulsion because of his picking habit... when he absentmindedly picked at the waistband of the little girl sitting in front of him during carpet time and she screamed out that he was trying to look at her underwear. And his mother had to explain to him about private parts even though he had no concept of the idea, no clue that he'd done anything inappropriate. You don't know that the parents of that undisciplined little hooligan didn't even believe "ADHD" was a real thing. They smugly thought it was an excuse made up by weak parents of unruly children, parents who were too lazy or stupid to stay in control. You don't know that his mother has bought, read and highlighted no fewer than 10 books, and not just ones about ADHD; books about parenting "strong-willed" children, books about discipline, books about love languages. (Maybe she just wasn't giving him enough love and it was making him wild? Or maybe she could "cure" him with love?) You don't know that the parents of this child maintain a highly-structured, loving, nurturing, encouraging environment in their home. They have rewards charts and everything. Yes, they even have discipline! You don't know that sometimes, when his mother tells someone that they've chosen not to medicate, the person gets offended because they medicate their child, and it's been a GODSEND for them. Do you think you're better than them or something? You don't know that sometimes, when his mother tells someone that they've chosen not to medicate, the person says, "GOOD. Medicating your kid for ADHD is the same as giving them CRACK." And then his mother makes a mental note to not tell that person if they ever do choose to medicate, because, quite frankly, she still hasn't ruled out the idea. (cont.)
"What you don't know about that wild, unruly child"
Hello loungers It's going to be my first time crossing the pond, as NYC-based friends of mine have persuaded me to spend 9 days in their city in the first half of September. Now, I have been searching high and low to find accomodation that doesn't look like shit straight from the '80s while still having to fork up $250 per night - without much luck, so far. When visiting a city, one does not want to be too far removed from the center (Manhattan, Brooklyn). Some areas are apparently a no-go or straight up ghetto (this coming from my friends who are born and raised in the city). My question: could anyone recommend me something? Booking.com and airbnb have little to nothing to offer. I don't mind paying $150 per night, but $250 is ridiculous.. Thanks in advance!
For r585 in the What books are you currently reading? thread. Just curious - what would you say are the "10 Must Read Gay Books"? I'm thinking "Dancer From the Dance", "Maurice", "At Swim, Two Boys" and the like -- if you were giving a list of the MUST read gay books, what would be on that list?
Starfish hopes to end the problem of babies left in cars Starfish is a weight-activated sensor that fits to child's car seat. It automatically pairs to parent's iPhone or Android using Bluetooth. When activated, Starfish creates a 'geo-fence' radius around itself . If the phone leaves the geo-fenced area, Starfish will notify the parent.
