Nifty! I like that you can click on the different amendments and get a nice long explanation.

I was actually surprised that the LWV thing did not seem slanted. Of course, I'm less likely to notice slants I agree with, so perhaps some rabid conservative should examine it and clue me in to the subtle shadings.

No kidding. I guess since the legislature only meets every two years (required gratuitous partisan statement -- unless DeLay is in the mood to gerrymander) the regular people have to pick up the slack. Except I don't think that many people usually vote in these elections.

Edited to add, or maybe the legislature only needs to meet every couple years because most things are constitutional amendments . . .

I'm late to this thread - but their place didn't look like a house to me - but a 2 or 3 room apartment with too many people for the space. My bet is that it was a disaster again within 48 hours, despite having most of their trash stored in a storage bin by the QEGs

You got it. He's not the best looking guy, but the man just oozes sex appeal. He's gotten better with age, but he was on my list of tennis crushes back in his playing days.

The show's already being protested by Morality in Media.


I love wallowing in the discomfort of others!!
Man you got me all excited there for just second. I thought Mark Wahlberg was going to be on the show. And if he was (sans shirt) THAT would have made the show totally worth watching. Much like Rock Star - a great movie for the fact that Mark Wahlberg doesn't wear a shirt (or button the one he's wearing) for much of the movie.

It's worse for J.Lo. She's so bland looking. She's a human rice cake. At least Cruz is striking from SOME (most) angles. Lopez is striking from none. She's an above-average latin girl. I would bet that everyone sees five girls on the street EVERY DAY who are better looking than her.

The upside is that their female fans look better than most indie fanbases.
And that is what I have heretofore decided. They will be in town soon, which is good as there is a relative paucity of decent shows until Enon comes back to town. And because Courtney Taylor is sooo dreamy, you are right about the female fans, which is great becuase I am only attracted to women who could be on suicidegirls.com (with a few disasterous exceptions), although I see plenty of hot chicks at most shows (which is why I found the recent thread about women at indy shows a bit confusing and whoever it was that equated hippy chicks with indy chicks, you have displayed an unimaginable amount of ignorance).

Is it because Jennifer Aniston was dressed like a frumpy hippy chick for most of the movie? I nominated it for "eye candy movie of the year" since Marky Mark wore clothing throughout Planet of the Apes and Arnold doesn't disrobe anymore.

Speaking of hotties, did anyone see Colin Farrel on Leno last night? Except for the fact that they kept bleeping him, I thought it was cute when the lady who won the biggest lottery ever grabbed his hand and wouldn't let go.

I have received another picture of breasts now. This means I have the following:

1 ass (male)
1 body shot with modesty saved by a black line (male)
1 naked lizard (and it is the sexiest one) (male)
4 breastssss (well actually 8 cause they come in pairs.)

Britney & Christina To Perform Madonna Classic At VMA's
Posted on Thursday, August 28 @ 02:32:41 PDT by MusicMan


The New York Daily News is spoiling the fun for tonight's Video Music Awards. They report that according to a spy at rehearsals, Britney Spears will appear in a white wedding dress on top of a giant wedding cake while singing 'Like a Virgin,' in tribute to Madonna's number at the 1984 VMAs. Then Christina Aguilera will take the stage, dressed identically, and do the same routine. After that, Madonna and Missy Elliott come out and sing Madonna's latest hit, 'Hollywood'. Jennifer Lopez was supposed to be involved too but she had to back out because of filming commitments in Canada.

Go figure. In reality TV, as in law, it often pays to be a total asshole.
I don't think it's really the same. Jenna was nowhere near as hateful as Alison. Vapid and dumb, but not hateful. Plus, Jenna won the final three immunity competitions, including the crucial endurance one, thus proving her mettle and showing herself to be a worthy champion. I was surprised, but not shocked, that she beat Matthew; it might have been a case of "Rob dragged Matthew to where he is, kicking and screaming, and he was a lucky sonofabitch, and I'll be damned if I'm going to vote for that nut-job."

Alison, meanwhile, is a psycho hose-beast, who will probably come in second to Erika. Erika has the "Lisa" thing going for her, in the sense that she looks a bit like last year's champion. I like Erika's chances a lot at this point.

Yeah, but if Erika wins she'll just spend the money on stupid stuff, like another pink hat or some more pink boots, maybe with fur on the top or something. Agreed, Alison is hateful and I think Jun would be smart to get her ass voted off, she'll stab anyone in the back. I think Donny is finally seeing her for what she really is, I hope he dumps her.

A full page ad would be a subtle way of communicating that fact in comparison to bringing back Lilith, or Diane, or Lilith and Diane, for guest spots.

I don't know anyone who still watches Frasier. Then again, I don't know anyone who's ever watched The King of Queens, and that's a top-ten show, even though it has nothing to do with gay people.
