The Beer Bar

I thought the jury foreman for the Apple-Samsung patent trial was a bit strange. Finally the judge will consider reviewing some issues associated with the foreman. I hope there will be another trial or a decision that is reasonable and fair. http://www.pcworld.com/article/2013789/apple-samsung-judge-considers-possible-juror-misconduct.html

Just wondering how many of you guys are on a formal budget? Do you keep track using a site like mint.com or excel or old fashion pen and paper? How did you determine what percent goes to ...? I have never really been on a budget in my lifetime. However, with old age knocking on the door and wondering whose car I will be living in I'm thinking of starting one. Any easy to read books or site suggestions are welcomed

Sad news for our Bulgarian friends. SOFIA, Bulgaria (AP) — Patriarch Maxim of Bulgaria, who weathered a revolt over his Communist-era ties to lead his country’s Orthodox Christians for more than 40 years, died here on Tuesday. He was 98. Patriarch Maxim’s tenure as the church’s leader bridged Bulgaria’s transition from Communism. World Twitter Logo.

Surely this photo has been posted here somewhere. I just missed it. HuffPo posted it today, otherwise I wouldn't have noticed. Ashton is in the middle. I didn't like this one so much, Patz looks nelly:

Adam Lambert has confirmed that he will host, perform, and pay tribute to the late Whitney Houston and Donna Summer at the upcoming VH-1 Divas special on December 16th, which will feature alleged divas Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Ciara, Kelly Rowland, and Jordin Sparks.

On tonite's X Factor, openly gay Jason Brock performed "I wanna Dance", looking like the love child of Liberace and Jennifer Lopez. After the performance when he was joined on stage by hosts Mario Lopez and Khloe Kardashian, he turned to Mario and said "Mario Lopez, can I pinch your butt?" Mario stammered out a "we have to keep this to a PG13"

The Secretary Of Explaining Stuff'

\We’ve just witnessed the greatest country on earth electing its President, a country which espouses democratic one-man-one-vote values. Yet, I have a few - no doubt contentious - thoughts. 1. 24 hours after the winner has been announced, millions of votes have still not been counted. 2. Some voting booths had machines which, when you punched one candidate’s name, registered a vote for the other. 3. As has often been said, the USA has adapted the democratic process to its own situation with the electoral college system. Yet, this is not one-man-one-vote. Presidents have got elected with a minority of the overall votes cast. 4. The democratic process is und…

Misleading book title While I was waiting for boarding for my flight back to Germany, I saw this at Suwannaphum Airport: I have been around gay Thailand forums for too long, so I was actually mislead into believing ...! After a stroll through the bookstore I came back and found someone taking a picture (after arranging the book so you can see the whole cover). I took a look inside and was relieved: Poo is the author’s nickname (ปู bpoo = crab). Checking on the internet, I found these links: http://www.cookingwithpoo.com/ http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2012/mar/30/cooking-with-poo-oddest-title-prize My favorite odd book title is:„Der gegenlä…

Not to trade on Justin Bieber's name, a "love" doll called "JUST-IN BEAVER" Love doll has hit the market. If only the real Justin had a chest like the guy on the cover of this box. . . Oz, you might want to use this box on your web site. It says "I wanna be your boy toy" right on the box !! http://gawker.com/59...l-is-unofficial

Now that the election is over, what is Betty's advice to Obama?

Kokopelli is appealing for votes from Republicans who can't stand Mitt and those Independents and Indecisives who can't make up their mind. Koko is the man for you; he can't decide on anything! His motto is a lobster in every pot, champagne in every glass, money in every wallet and a hot beau in every bed.

I just spent 3 wonderful hours listening to Barbra Streisand in concert in Las Vegas. She is simply brilliant and the experience is beyond words. She even sang a song with her gay son Jason. He also has a brilliant voice. I was also happy that she sang "No More Tears (Enough is Enough)" in honor of Donna Summer. That was a duet they did back in 1980 that was a #1 hit. To my knowledge she has never sang that live before. While this particular video is from the Philly show, it's the same thing she did tonight. "Here's to Life" is one of my all time favorite songs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmXzXbFzrHk

Two straight guys rise to the occasion in the web series steamroomstories.com:

At a time when the tentacles of Rupert Murdoch’s phone hacking scandal have now reached very firmly into the heart of the British cabinet, corruption in some other parts of the world retains its grip. One such incidence has resulted in a scandal in China which, relatively innocent though it first seemed, now looks like it is opening up the biggest can of worms of all, a Shakespearean saga that also bears some of the hallmarks of a James Bond movie. It has reportedly shocked the country's leadership. Even those who admire how China has lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty know well that corruption is rife in the country, and that those near the top of the tree ar…

Jimmy Kimmel did this last year and he did it again this year. I think Jimmy better watch out as these kids get older. . . (Sorry the title was supposed to be "I ate all of your candy. . ." UGH)
