I agree with that. What if McCain picks Rice? Does that have as much pull? I always thought a real shocker would be if McCain picks Hillary. That would really throw things into a spin.

Like I have said all along, I don't think the voters knew what the fuck they were getting when they voted for this guy. But, then again, they voted for Bush 2 times in a row. We are not the most intelligent electorate.

I think the rates are about the same as NYC, LA, SF. I don't think any higher. But, if you are into the saunas, use a condom that is provided at all saunas.

My first trip overseas ever was when I was 16 years old. It was to Scotland. I had a great time and fell in love with the men there, the accents and the country. I have visited at least 10 times since and that love has yet to waver. And, yes, I do love a man in a kilt.

Congrats to him as he won his 8th Gold Metal! Yippeeeee!

LOL. Resigns from the board but still making a shitload. I don't have an issue with what he does with his money. UP to him. But, the resignation was only symbolic to save the cash cow.

I agree with you. I do not think he realizes it will be a close race and he needs her supporters to win. IMHO

I was a VERY regular at the Gaiety for many years. I had some great times there and most of the guys were Gay for Pay. On the rare occasion they got a gay boy, I had to take him. But, I took my fair share of straight ones as well. A few a week most weeks for a few years. Perhaps that is a bit over the top but I was having fun. It did not bother me in the least that they were not gay as I was having fun and they were enjoying taking my money. When the gay boys arrived, I did make sure I saw them as I usually had a better time with them. My favorites were Brad from Toronto or Montreal, Milo from Brazil and Jamie from Miami.

Thanks KYTOP. I had not seen that. Michael just won his 7th Gold medal. Tomorrow he goes for the 8th to break the record. Monday, he flies to my place for a holiday. jk http://edition.cnn.com/2008/SPORT/08/15/ol...s.ap/index.html EIJING, China (AP) -- Michael Phelps swam into history with a magnificent finish Saturday, tying Mark Spitz with his seventh gold medal by the narrowest of margins in the 100-meter butterfly. His arms soaring across the water one last time, Phelps got his hand on the wall a hundredth of a second ahead of Serbia's Milorad Cavic. Phelps' time was 50.58 seconds, the only time in these Olympics that Phelps won an event without breaking the world record. The 23-year-old from Baltimore has now pulled even with the greatest of Olympic records, matching Spitz's performance in the 1972 Munich Games. Call this one the Great Haul of China -- and it's not done yet. Phelps will return on Sunday to swim in his final event of these games, taking the butterfly leg of the 400 medley relay. The Americans will be heavily favored to give him his eighth gold, leaving Spitz behind. Phelps pounded his fist in the water and let out a scream after the astonishing finish. The crowd at the Water Cube gasped -- it looked as though Cavic had won -- then roared when the "1" popped up beside the American's name. His time was 50.58 seconds "I had no idea," Phelps said. "I was starting to hurt a little bit with probably the last 10 meters. That was my last individual race, so I was just trying to finish as strong as I could." A notoriously slow starter -- Phelps was seventh out of eight at the turn -- he really turned it on with the return lap, his long arms windmilling through the water as he closed the gap on Cavic and fellow American Ian Crocker, the world record-holder. As they approached the finish, Cavic took his final big stroke and reached for the gold. Phelps, his timing a bit off but fully aware of where he was, did another mini-stroke and actually slammed the wall with his hands on the follow-through. That was the difference. He wasn't necessarily the fastest, just first. "I actually thought when I did take that half-stroke, I thought I lost the race there, but I guess that was the difference in the race," Phelps said. It was reminiscent of the 100 fly finish at Athens four years ago, where Crocker appeared to have the race won but Phelps got him at the wall by 0.04. "My last two Olympics I've been able to nail my finishes, and it's been by four one-hundredths and one one-hundredths," he said. "I'm happy and kind of at a loss for words." Cavic had no words. Clearly perturbed at losing by a fingertip, he stormed past reporters in the mixed zone without stopping. Andrew Lauterstein of Australia won the bronze medal in 51.12. Crocker was again denied the first individual gold of his career; he didn't even win a medal, finishing fourth by a hundredth of a second in 51.13. "It was a tight one," Crocker said. "I saw my short differential between getting a medal or not, but then I realized Michael's was pretty close, too. I'm really glad that he came out on top. "It was everything that an Olympic final should be. It doesn't matter who's in the heats, you just got to get out and race and it's anybody's game. It was one of the more intense races that I've been in, which makes it a great way to end the meet." While the medley relay figures to be nothing more than a coronation, Phelps isn't ready to talk about No. 8. "It's not over yet," he said. "I really think the Australian team looks great for the relay. It's going to be a race."

Going for the all time record. Good luck!

Tampa, you are converting me. Any more?

Beckham is hot. This month's Men's Health has a nice write up for him with some hot shots. Here is the cover.

Yes, he is hot! I wonder which way his wind blows?

http://ukpress.google.com/article/ALeqM5hg...Moaxqrs0Np6qrrQ Madonna to celebrate 50th birthday Madonna reaches her half century on Saturday but the queen of pop shows no signs of relinquishing her crown. The singer has the knack of constant reinvention, from cone corsets, her Sex book and kissing Britney Spears, to becoming a children's author and raising awareness about the devastating effects of HIV in Malawi. According to Guinness World Records, Madonna is the most successful female solo artist, selling around 120 million albums and 40 million singles - a combined total more than any other female. Not one to be accused of slowing down, the super-fit singer is preparing for her Sticky And Sweet world tour. Her spokeswoman was keeping tight-lipped about exactly how Madonna will be celebrating, only confirming she was in the UK at the moment. The Mirror recently reported that a lavish do at her country estate in Wiltshire may have to be postponed due to Madonna suffering a bad ankle. Despite world domination, Madonna has not always had her own way. In recent years she has had to face rumours of marriage difficulties with film director husband Guy Ritchie, which have been denied, as well as controversy over her adoption of Malawian child David Banda. The singer has two other children, a son, Rocco, and a daughter named Lourdes. At the Cannes Film Festival this year, Madonna introduced a screening of her documentary I Am Because We Are about the effects of Aids in Malawi, saying the film was a "labour of love". A new poll of more than 1,200 Madonna fans conducted by MSN Entertainment (entertainment.uk.msn.com) named Like A Prayer as her best song of all time. The album of the same name also topped the poll as Madonna's best. Almost three quarters (73%) of those polled believed Madonna's marriage stands a chance. But Madonna's ex-husband Sean Penn was voted equal first (40%) with Ritchie by fans as her ultimate soul mate.

I love Straight boys as well and it doesn't sound awful to me. But, I much prefer to spend my money on gay guys. Just makes me feel better for some reason. Not sure why.

Sadly, I think you are right on this point but it is too late now and not much to be done. Lets hope he makes an intelligent decision at the convention.

BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) -- A Canadian schoolteacher who pleaded guilty to sexually abusing a 13-year-old boy was sentenced Friday to three years and three months in jail in Thailand. Christopher Paul Neil, who taught in several Asian countries, was arrested last year following an international manhunt after hundreds of photos of him allegedly engaging in sex acts with young boys were discovered on the Internet. The Thai court also imposed a 60,000 baht ($1,780) fine on the 32-year-old man who had pleaded guilty May 12. His initial sentence of six years, six months was reduced by the court because Neil pleaded guilty. Neil still faces similar charges, to which he has pleaded not guilty, involving the younger brother of the 13-year-old victim. In that case, he faces up to 20 years in jail for charges that include sexually abusing a minor, videotaping the alleged abuse, taking a child without parental consent, and holding him against his will. The child who was 9 years old at the time claims Neil paid him $15 to $30 to perform oral sex in 2003. That trial resumes on Oct. 7. "OK," was Neil's only comment to reporters after the verdict was read. His interpreter said Neil, dressed in a prison uniform and wearing ankle chains, would not appeal. After the trial, the grim-faced Canadian was taken straight to a Bangkok prison where he will serve his sentence. Reading out the verdict, the court said Neil was guilty of sexually abusing a boy of less than 15 years of age, distributing pornographic photographs, and illegally taking a child from its parents. During the trial, the victim, now 18, testified he went to Neil's apartment in Bangkok where the crime was committed. Photos that allegedly showed Neil engaging in sexual acts and playing with naked or partially clothed young boys were also presented. Neil was arrested in Thailand on Oct. 19, 2007, after the international police agency Interpol unscrambled swirled digital images from about 200 Internet photos, which allegedly show Neil engaging in sexual acts with young boys. Neil admitted through his translator that he took the photos but said he did not post the pictures online. Hundreds of tips were received and Neil was arrested 11 days after the Interpol appeal was launched. http://edition.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/...a.ap/index.html

For me, it is neither a turn on or turn off. It is what it is. Escorts tend to have sex with those that they would not normally pick out of a crowd. To many, it is just a job and not a way to get off. As long as a client goes into this situation knowing this, the better off they will be. The escort is doing his job in making you happy and you should know that most likely they would not pick you up in a regular bar or club. Does that matter to me? No, but I am old and jaded and use to it by now.

Well, most of those that are advertising are big boys. If you get a black or PR twink, they are usually versatile or bottoms. Many will say they are tops but when it comes to push and shove, they want to bend over. At least that was true from my Craig's List experience.

I am interested in to see if this holds true for the UK boys. I do know they are all uncut. And, I have yet to meet a Scottish lad I didn't like. Perhaps it is the accent. Plus, I find the young Prince of England hot in the kilt.

No wonder I love NY so much. But, also the boys in NYC are often meth heads and they party so much that bottoming is easier for them. Also some are just so sexual that anything is good for them. I find the more sex I have the easier it is for me to bottom. Or, perhaps I am just easy.

For me, I was a Kucinich fan from the get go and I do remember he was straight forward on the gay issue as well as impeaching GW Bush. He has been the lone voice in the party to fight for the impeachment and he keeps hammering away at them. He is THE man!

It is not the bandwidth, we are just trying to make things more user friendly for all.

My read on it was that he did not suggest that someone would be assassinated if they supported gay marriage. He said they had a better chance of being assassinated than being elected President. I don't disagree with this. I think the likelihood of someone wanting openly gay marriage is unelectable. I also think it is highly unlikely that anyone on the ticket or running will get assassinated with all the security they have. I think the only one that support gay marriage was Kucinich. Right or wrong?

Well, this is one theory I have not heard before but it sounds logical to me. Just a trip to Czech Republic for a month and I am sold on the idea. Or, the beautiful Spanish boys in Barcelona.
