July 29 (Bloomberg) -- Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, in a split from President George W. Bush, said he supports expanding U.S. funding to study embryonic stem cells as potential treatments for disease.
"Rotten traitorous b*stard! And this is the GOP leadership???? Forget it! I am DONE with them. First they ginore the borders. Then they coddle the religion of murder. Now, what the heck? Let's cannibalize the unborn! The GOP is no better than the Democrats."
Tom DeLay thinks the federal treasury is his personal piggy bank. DeLay slipped "a $1.5 billion giveaway to the oil industry, Halliburton, and Sugar Land, Texas" into the energy bill.
How I do enjoy the rabbit thespians and I've always been a fan of Rocky Horror, I'm twisted like that.
Ample chicks bathe, I should know this, I bathe all the damn time, it's just considerate to the other humans who have to sniff your stink on a regular basis. The Dove Chubs are a very successful ad campaign if your pissing off chumps like movie critic Richard Ropert, your a success."Chunky women in their underwear have surrounded my house. ... I find these ads a little unsettling. If I want to see plump gals baring too much skin, I'll go to Taste of Chicago, OK?
"When we're talking about women in their underwear on billboards outside my living room windows, give me the fantasy babes, please. If that makes me sound superficial, shallow and sexist -- well, yes, I'm a man."
Ancient phallus unearthed in cave
A sculpted and polished phallus found in a German cave is among the earliest representations of male sexuality ever uncovered, researchers say.
The 20cm-long, 3cm-wide stone object, which is dated to be about 28,000 years old, was buried in the famous Hohle Fels Cave near Ulm in the Swabian Jura.
The prehistoric "tool" was reassembled from 14 fragments of siltstone.
"Why do you do that?" I asked, and she looked at me, saying, "Germs, silly. All kinds of people have had their heads against that seat back. Doesn't that just give you the creeps?" And I admitted that it had never occurred to me.
"Well, you'd never lie on a hotel bedspread, would you?" she asked, and again: why not? I might not put it in my mouth, but to stretch out and make a few phone calls-I do it all the time.
"But you wash the phone first, right?"
"Umm. No."
"Well, that is just . . . dangerous," she said.
In a similar vein, I was at the grocery store with my sister Lisa and noticed her pushing the cart with her forearms.
"What's up?" I asked.
"Oh," she said. "You don't ever want to touch the handle of a grocery cart with your bare hands. These things are crawling with germs.Â?
Is it just Americans, or does everyone think this way? In Paris once, I went to my neighborhood supermarket and saw a man shopping with his cockatiel, which was the size of a teen-age eagle and stood perched on the handle of his cart.
"See?" Lisa said. "ThereÂ?s no telling what foot diseases that bird might have." She had a point, but it's not like everyone takes a cockatiel to the grocery store. A lifetime of shopping, and this was the first exotic bird I'd ever seen browsing the meat counter.
A public service announcement: If you are American, and use British spellings like "favour" and "realise," and if you ever, ever use the word "bloody" as an intensifier, then you are worse than Hitler and fuck you.
Meanwhile, President Bush has nominated the whitest man in America for the Supreme Court. If I were an anti-abortion timber company executive, or a brainwashed automaton, I would consider John Roberts (whose name sounds like it should belong to a protagonist in a bad Bruce Willis action movie), a fine nominee. But instead, I'm an abortion-loving atheist with Jew blood. George Carlin is the only nominee who would really satisfy me. Those odds are long.
Drinking games are a hoot, political drinking games are hazardous to your health.
It was nearing midnight and the Prime Minister was sitting alone in his office, reading a long memo that was slipping through his brain without leaving the slightest trace of meaning behind.
Hlaing Thar Yar, Myanmar - Chicken-seller Thin Sandarin had always dreamt of being a man.
When she inexplicably grew a penis last month, the 21-year-old treated it as an awe-inspiring omen - as have the thousands of stunned villagers who have travelled to a pagoda to see him.
"On the morning of the full moon day of June 21, I noticed my thing (sex organ) was not the same as before," Thin Sandar, who now goes by the male name Than Sein, said on Wednesday.
"And my breasts disappeared," Than Sein added. "So I called out and showed it all to my mom and dad. It was very strange." [via]
Reg Grant, professor at Dallas Theological Seminary, has noticed that protests have been muted as the sixth book, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," was readied for release on Saturday. He wasn't surprised to hear that Harry dropped off the top-10 list of the ALA's most protested books last year.
- Harry Potter:
A series of books that most people haven't read but don't hesitate to criticize, anyways.
- Albus Dumbledore:
Teenage heart-throb. Dead-ringer for Gandalf the White.
- Sirius Black:
Two words: flying motorbike. Two more words: damn sexy.

As if this constant movement of letters weren't distracting enough, the words "The Daily Show" also continuously radiate forward from the back of the screen in smaller white caps, originating from directly behind Stewart's head. I don't have the graphic-design vocabulary to describe this accurately, but let's just say that you can no longer watch The Daily Show without struggling to block out two constant, and competing, written reminders that you are, indeed, watching The Daily Show. On its own, the continuous blue scroll might have been forgivable, though it does give the studio a more claustrophobic feel than before. But those radiating white caps are just maddening. It's as if Stewart's head is actually producing the letters, like promotional dandruff. Call me obsessive (though I like to think of it as detail-oriented), but the Daily Show is the only unmissable staple in my daily television diet, and looking at those letters every night may seriously compromise my quality of life.
Sexy women shit rose pedals, pee early mornin' dew by Mark Stella
Washington, DC- After a thorough investigation, the Secret Sausage Government has confirmed that sexy women shit rose pedals and pee early mornin' dew.
Since the 1940's, men have always believed that foul odors could never creep out the orifices of something as magnificent as a beautiful woman. Thanks to the latest technologies, drug sniffing cats and bowel fetishists, this once appetizing fantasy is now a fact.
The SSG has not studied these activities in ugly women. However, they are warning men that if it looks and smells fowl in the bowl; that person you thought was a woman could actually be a man.
Madonna, the American mum in Britain, says she wrote the Kabbalah-themed children's books Mr. Peabody's Apples, Yakov and the Seven Thieves and the more recent Lotsa de Casha herself, but did she? According to a PageSix inside source, the Material Girl can't come up with her own material when it comes to penning kid lit.
So just who is behind the pop star's bestsellers? A source claims that there is a go-to ghostwriter for all things Kabbalah, even the celebrated Rabbi Berg's books. [via]
COQUITLAM, British Columbia - A handful of people in Canada got a sneak peak of the latest Harry Potter book, but a British Columbia Supreme Court judge ordered them to keep it a secret.
The book was sold to 14 people who snagged a copy of J.K. Rowlings' much anticipated "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," when it landed on shelves last Thursday at a local grocery store.
When the current generation of Harry Potter readers has grown up, it will look back on the Harry Potter phenomenon with a mixed thrill of intense nostalgia, embarrassment and dismay. Our children's children will certainly read these books, but as curiosities, bizarre literary relics from a lost world. [via]
"At MTV and VH1, we're in a constant and candid dialogue with our audience, and in the wake of the live events last Saturday, our viewers have resoundingly told us online they want to see full-set performances from their favorite artists," MTV Networks Music Group President Van Toffler said of the move. "As a result of viewer demand and thanks to the Live 8 organizers and performers, MTV and VH1 will air 10 consecutive hours from one of the most important musical events of our time."

Leonardo DiCaprio seems busier than KFC at Easter right now, and he's just increased his work-load.
The "Aviator" star will produce a feature film adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut's classic dystopian novel "Cat's Cradle", in partnership with manager-producer Hillard Elkins' Elkins Entertainment, says Variety.
The novel told the story of a race to recover the world's most dangerous substance, Ice-Nine, which freezes at room temperature.
James V. Hart ("Sahara") and his son Jake Hart will pen the film.
No word if Kirk Cameron's little buddy - ah, that's Leo - is going to headline the movie.
And I was all like "O-M-G, like I'm a content whore", what-ev-er. Great site with some tasty content.
Can a man own a word? And can he sue to keep other people from using it?
Over the last few years, Leo Stoller has written dozens of letters to companies and organizations and individuals stating that he owns the trademark to "stealth." He has threatened to sue people who have used the word without his permission.
"The fact that somebody, just by claiming to own a word, can intimidate large companies and powerful law firms shows the damage, to an extent, is already done," he said. "If people like Stoller are allowed to get away with this unchallenged, there could be ripple effects to every form of public mass media."
Turns out the concert is NOTHING, and I mean NOTHING but moral vanity, and the exploitation of starving, sick Africans, by pampered, rich as**oles and their self-interested corporate sponsors rather than their potential salvation. This is really unspeakably shameful.
