John Edwards gives up
Edwards Suspends Presidential Campaign
Well John...I've liked you, I've disliked you...(once or twice I've been ashamed of you). I've had the hots for your daughter Cate, and I may like your wife's views even more than I like yours. In a weird way, one of the many things I'm still pissed at John Kerry about is that I think he "swift-boated" any chance you might have had of being Hillary or (my choice) Obama's running mate.

IIRC, no one's ever been the running mate for two consecutive presidental elections (not counting sitting VPs, of course). But I think you'd make a fine veep-there have even been times when I've thought you'd make a fine president.
Unfortunately you came off kind of creepy on the David Letterman show the other night, but I choose to believe that was just the strain of the campaign showing through.
And in conclusion, I'd just like to put this idea out there into the ether, in hopes that in some magical way it'll reach the ear of the president elect:
Attorney General John Edwards.

Appropriately enough, I'm from Missouri on this bill
Here's the latest on the case of the adults harassing a 13-year old who then commits suicide. A bill has been introduced in the Senate that would make such harrasment a felony. As I said back in November:
But even the 13-year old girl's mother doesn't think this law would do that...only that it would provide punishment. She has to go somewhere with her anger and her grief, and I won't say anything against her.
But me...I'm from Missouri.
If a law could be passed that would prevent anything like this from ever happening again, my heart tells me that would be a good law.

You haven't lived an all-so-ahppy life, and it's taken it's toll. Malice and cynicsm rotate around all your thoughts, and you are always prepared for the worst.
Personally, I think it's a crime that Jenny McCarthy was denied an Academy Award nomination for BASEketball
I am not saying that just as a flimsy excuse to run this tease-y portrait of her, honestly.
bible-thumpers love to cite this little song-and-dance as proof that men who are attracted to other men are going to hell
Interestingly enough, it would seem that a loophole is at least implied for lesbians, which I'm sure will make many women's sports figures very happy.
But anyway, my old friend Steve-AKA Turner-who was, and presumably still is, as he put it, "an unabashed cocksucker," had the best answer.
He said, "I don't lie with men as with women. I don't try to have sex with women when I lie with them. No problem."
For this joke, I will need you to join me in a trip back to the 1950s. Thenk Yew.

Chivalry is dead
...shorter version of the rules according to these women empaneled by Esquire: Don't bother, unless we need you to, otherwise, butt out.
I love stories like this...
...because they're as predictable as snow in winter. Until last December, there was a man in Salt Lake City who ran a service whereby one could have preexisting DVDs "censored" to remove scenes and language one found offensive.
I wouldn't think there would be a big market for, say, a version of Juno that's all about a teenage girl who gets caught kissing her boyfriend, but again, this was Salt Lake City.
And further, the business no longer exists. Seems the studios (known for their commitment to the filmmakers' vision) and their lawyers didn't care for it.
Oh, and the man who ran said business?
He's been arrested on charges of having sex acts performed on him by 14-year-old girls, for which he paid them.
Seriously. Like snow in winter. The people who yell the loudest about keeping things clean and are the most scared of their own or anyone else's body are always, always, always the ones looking for hot sex in airport bathrooms.
Healthy people like me, however, can tell you without shame that in this picture the first two letters Emily Blunt is in front of stand for Women I'd...

For comparable dialogue samples, see any given episode of "The L Word."
The script for the TV movie 7 Things to do Before I'm 30, which premiered this evening, made Will & Grace look deep and warm. The dialogue progressed from toenail-peeling, sick-making bad to oh-my-god-I'm-going-to-scream-if-this-person-keeps-talking worse.
The less said about the direction, the better.
As I think I may have remarked here once or twice before, to be a fan of Amber Benson is to be resigned to the belief that she's better (as an actress) than most of the projects she does.
Not that I'm saying she's perfect...although I did find this picture via a website called Perfect People.
And as we all know, you're not allowed to put something on a website unless it's objectively, verifiably true.
This is why I’m proud to tell you I am writing this from my new condo in San Francisco, where shooting will soon begin on my first feature film, staring Liza Weil and Shannon Marie Woodard.
Back to reality... (But I'm so happy here!)
My point is, given good material and filmed properly, she's a standout. Here she's given an overly-cute "rom-com" script, filmed unflatteringly, and she still goes down swinging.
I can only assume it's a collective failure of the artistic community that Benson hasn't been able to follow up on her breakout part as Tara on "BtVS" yet.
I know, I'm gushing. I'm a fan. We're allowed to do that. And I hate to think it's because she played a lesbian...though there is some reason to believe that might have something to do with it.

Ok, I'm back to feeling oddly moved by Britney Spears' mental meltdown
I don't know why, exactly. But this picture makes me sad, curse my natural empathy. It just seems so full of...everything that's wrong, not just with her, but with the way in which she is exploited.
I'm not screaming "Leave Britney alone!" here, she profited by her own exploitation and in a real sense, she is reaping what she has sown. But, still...this picture makes me sad.
I think maybe because the above and below dichotomy is so clear. Her face and wig/hair are still the teensiest bit sexy, albeit in a doll parts kind of way. But below...her pants are undone.
And paparazzos are capturing every inch of it.

I'm in the book, Christina
Actress Christina Applegate is so desperate to have kids she’s pressing on with parenting plans without a man in her life.
The divorced Anchorman star, 36, admits she can hear her body clock ticking loudly and insists it’s the perfect time to have a baby - even though she isn’t dating.
She says, "That’s (motherhood) something I really need to get on soon, which is difficult in the current situation.
Look me up, babe. I may not be a lady killer, but I'm pretty and I'll make you laugh...and I think you're funny, too...

As I believe I may have written here before...
...even for a Republican, John Gibson is a whackjob.
I haven't said anything about Heath Ledger's death, for the radical reason that I have nothing really worthwhile to say about it. Beyond the obviousness of how unfortunate it is. Fox News host Gibson, on the other hand, saw an opportunity to mock the passing of a man whose friends and family are in mourning.
When this provoked an outcry, Gibson's defensive response was essentially that Ledger once played a gay man, so it's ok to make jokes about the fact that his child now won't have a father.
I kid you not.

The latest installments of that series of Disney ads wherein they have modern-day celebrities "as" Disney characters have been released.
My least favorite is Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony as Aladdin and Jasmine, but that's at least partly because Jasmine is my favorite of all the Disney "princesses."
I think she's fiercely sexy...I mean...for a Disney character, and all. Jennifer Lopez in harem pants can't compete with that.
My favorite this time-and actually my favorite of the series so far-is this picture of Jessica Biel as Pocahontas (with a cameo, as I like to think of it, by Bambi).
I don't quite know why I should be a fan of that one, considering Biel is kind of a joke to me and I've never even seen "Pocahontas," but...

Pink appeared on the Conan O'Brien show recently to promote a cause she believes in, that of the prevention of cruelty to the horses used in horse & carriage rides. I didn't know this was a serious problem, but there you are.
A few days ago, the New York Horse & Carriage Association, as well as a carriage owner and a hansome cab driver, countered her charges. It appears Pink may have been commenting on something she didn't know about. I say may, because I don't know the whys and wherefores and particulars of how horses are treated when used in this manner.
I do know that Pink's appearance was part of a campaign for PETA. While I don't think everyone who supports PETA is necessarily nuts...do I really need to finish that sentence?
Unhappily, the hansom cab driver made it personal, thus activating all of my desires to protect pretty girls.
Even more inexplicably, Todd at the IDon'tLikeYouInThatWay blog seems to argue that he wouldn't listen to anything Pink has tell him anyway, because he finds her unattractive.
...As an aside, the other day I saw a woman who looked like a dude, at least from the back. She had the face of a woman (and a very pretty one) and was walking arm-in-arm with a dude, but she had no ass whatsoever. It was pretty much like a nine-year-old. I felt sorry for her...
But for those of you playing at home, this is Pink:
If she looks like a dude...I am so fucking gay.

McKeever, whose horse Roger has appeared on "Sex and the City," argues, "My horse is more famous than [Pink] is!"

Pink is a woman who looks like a dude, so good luck is trying to get me to listen to anything her ugly ass has to say, no matter how important she thinks it is.
