Gods I hope they can make this work. Thanks for the link.

Nonsense. I've posted a few reviews, but not too many, this bear's review count is just right, and he should get a weekend with Andre. Who votes the contest should be everybody who posts gets a weekend with Andre :-)?

The US attorneys can get as Victorian as they like, the internet is global, and someone in some global backwater can easily pick up the slack. They'd have to start demanding that internet companies block websites, and I don't think that would go over well.

I think it's simple politics. I disagree with both Obama and Prejean. Obama is in a position to give me some things I want, however, and is much better to me than the alternative. Hence, I leave it alone. Prejean is nothing but a political adversary so I'm happy to take a dump on her. I imagine that's what most people are thinking.

I've never watched a full episode of american idol. count me as one of the 12, I guess.

I voted for Bill once. I didn't vote for him twice. I'd seen enough of his character by then. (this isn't a political statement, it's a "he's slimy" statement.)

Besides the cum stains would really show on his black robes.

Then to understand the rest of the story, you'd have to know I love being fucked more than anything else. I'm a bit of a one trick pony, which may be a pity. Some day I hope to be rich enough to grow bored of that trick and branch out, but I think that's going to require a winning lottery ticket, and adamsmith's win reminds me that that kind of luck isn't my forte :-).

I'm going to be patient before I get mad. This isn't a top priority, and it would help to let the military work through this themselves before forcing the issue. I think the military is starting to agree that there's no evidence that homos fuck things up.

Perhaps I was unclear. Nothing about the poz makes me the least bit uncomfortable. My father is a doctor and I never had delusional fears about proximity giving me infection. Just that it was an incredible turnoff. I'm happy to spend time with poz folks, just that the idea of fucking completely leaves me cold. I do sometimes regret that with hot poz guys, but the libido isn't always subject to the rational mind.

Well, everyone's different, and this is a bit off point, but for those of us who are older and remember friends dying, HIV isn't just another thing. I understand the safety issues. I understand that you must assume everyone is poz. But when I _know_ someone is poz that is the ultimate sexual turn off for me. My memories of those dead can't exist with a heated up libido. That virus frightens me.

I used to fantasize about going back to the town I went to JR high school in and walking up to the door of one of my tormentors from that time and blowing him away. I think a lot of us suffered through a lot of crap growing up. It's hard to come through that unscathed.

Congratulations!

I was sad when I read this story. As a gay guy who got a ton of abuse in school, I sympathized. I thought of suicide quite seriously back then. It also angers me. I want to just beat these bullies with a 2x4.

I've been on the internet for 25 years (from the days of the arpanet). I've never seen political discussion do anything other than turn into a drunken brawl. Who knows, this might be the first site to manage it, but I doubt it. If we end up there, I will participate much less. My experience is that these discussions are very low signal to noise ratio discussions with much interest in scoring points and little interest in debating. Even if they are debates, they are usually useless because if you strip it all away, it's just different people saying they have different political priorities than others. If two people have different priorities for judging political decisions, there is really no useful basis for debate. Add to that a huge helping of bitching/insults, and I find that there isn't much useful to be gained by the conversations. My .02

I think he did a couple of small reasonable liberalizations. If cuba responds well, it could happen swiftly. If we can have "normal" relations with China, we ought to be able to with Cuba.

I'm dubious about providing contact information to someone on this basis. Though I hope it's real and they succeed.

I'm guessing the MN supreme court will be the final stop. They'll either take it or they won't. I can't guess whether they will, but I'm betting that the finding of the lower court that there is no evidence of corruption in the process will stand, and that Franken will take the election.

That was amazing. I hope she's capable of more, because I hope the best for her.

I actually wanted to hire him when he was still escorting. Thought he was hot, never got around to it. Now don't regret that. Other than the self promotion, was he any good?

He does look pretty trashy in the picture, doesn't he? I guess TV makeup can do wonders.

Ah. Well I tend to agree that soliciting rough sex from a total stranger isn't something I'd do. Maybe from an escort I'd seen before. Craigslist doesn't particularly scare me, but I've had rotten luck with it finding anything other than flakes.

I'm pretty tired of egomaniacs of all stripes pretending to be journalists. I think they do a great disservice to us by turning reasoned debate into moral outrage. It may feel good, but it leads nowhere productive.

If you've followed Michael at all, you know he is a big attention whore. I'm sure he staged the whole thing for the drama of it.

We often hear about the nasty CEOs who get outrageous compensation packages. It seems to really stoke a populist outrage. But I think the interesting flipside is, what do everyday people think should happen with that money? Perhaps they think the companies should pay everyone more. But I rather suspect that if CEOs and other executive compensation comes down, then it will be the anonymous shareholder who will benefit. I suspect that people would be completely ok with the anonymous shareholder making more, but people with 'faces' making it upset them. I had a friend in college who thought it was sort of criminal for people to make a large salary. He couldn't see how it could be justified. At the time, I didn't much care, but thought he had a bit of a point. 20+ years later, I know why. Because people may be created equal, but they don't stay that way. I'm not a CEO (and wouldn't want to be), but I'm good at what I do, and am well paid. It's not that I'm worth 3 or 4 regular workers. That's a false comparison. I'm worth this much because 20 of them couldn't do what I do. Of course, then there is the argument how much that uniqueness is worth, but I think that's probably another thread....
