Navy Cmdr. Jeffrey Gordon is claiming that female Miami Herald reporter Carol Rosenberg has been sexually harassing him. The notably unattractive Gordon, who works officially with the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, prison, wrote the Herald that he was submitting a "formal sexual harassment complaint" and demanded a "thorough investigation." He said in an interview that "Her behavior has been so atrocious over the years. I've been abused worse than the detainees have been abused." SO I am assuming she held him captive for years with no formal charges, stripped him nude, deprived him of sleep, and interrogated him for hours. That’s one tough reporter. Okay, he is calling it sexual harassment, but he does not mean she is using her position to try and force him to have sex with her. In fact, one of his complaints is that she saw him topless and commented that he was repulsive. She was reportedly an aggressive reporter who would not back down, and could be demeaning. She is accused of using rough language- and you know how offensive that is to Navy men. He can take on the enemy but a woman reporter is just too much for him. The one thing she is not accused of calling him is what he clearly is- a total pussy. Man up, you empty ball sack.
In one of the strangest stories we’ve ever covered, one of the most wanted war criminals in the world turned up hiding in his own country as a new age healer named Dragan Dabic sporting a bushy beard and wild hair. Radovan Kradzik’s was arrested for perpetrating the worst war crimes in Europe since World War II by introducing the world to the term ethnic cleaning in attempting to wipe out the Bosnian Muslims. Before his arrest, though, he was working with a crackpot sex therapist named Savo Bojovic. One of Bajovic’s obsessions was Serbian penises. He had polaroids of 2,000 or so middle aged penises. He claimed to have proven that Serbian men can have active sex until the age 102 and Serbian women until 84. And according to a New York Times article, he seemed especially interested in treating strong-blooded women who cannot live without sex. He invented a gizmo called an aplikator, which he claimed could bring on a gentle orgasm, and amazingly enough, could also help men with colon or urinary problems. Another of his inventions was the Spermosan, a birth control device he created especially for womanizers that used electricity to put the sperm to sleep so the women would not get pregnant. His work with Dragan Dabic was intended to do just the opposite. Dragan would place his hands above and below a man’s testicles to heal the sperm and make the man fertile again. SO the world’s most wanted mass murderer and former president would have been spending his retirement cupping his hands around men’s testicles. I just can’t imagine that that is how he saw his future. I’m guessing he never saw his future spending life in prison, either, which is his fairly certain fate now that he is on trial at the Hague.
A bill in Ohio would require a man’s permission for a woman to have an abortion. His would be the final say. And what if you can’t find the father, say because it was too dark while he was raping you to get a good look at his face? Too bad for you. Not being able to identify the father is no excuse- even if you don’t want to identify him because daddy would just say “too bad”, just like he does when you tell him you don’t want to have sex. Medical workers and women who get abortions without paternal permission would be tried for abortion fraud, a first degree misdemeanor.
So, what’s worse than being eight years old and gang raped by four boys? How about then being rejected by your parents because you are now officially a slut. Her parents are from Liberia, described as a shame based culture where rape victims are often shunned by their own families. This took place in Phoenix Arizona, and while the boys have been arrested, I think the parents ought to join them and experience some real shaming. What horrible excuses for human beings.
Of course, you don’t have to be from Liberia in Arizona to be anti-woman. You can even be a woman, as demonstrated by the recent legislation signed by Governor Jan Brewer. Women must now be subject to a 24 hour waiting period, no matter how far they had to travel to get to the clinic, and their doctors are forced to tell them "risks and alternatives, and the fetus' probable characteristics." After being propagandized, they have to leave and come back the next day. They made their parental consent law even stricter, and made it easier to put doctors in jail for performing late term abortions. Health care workers, including pharmacists, will be able to refuse to dispense emergency contraception. You do the sex, be prepared to be shamed into pregnancy, bitch. Maybe those parents from Liberia are going to fit in after all.
Our good ally, Saudi Arabia, makes Liberia look progressive in comparison. And neither we nor Britain seem much inclined to criticize them. You know, because they have our oil. The British government quietly granted asylum to a Saudi princess who had an affair and a child with a British man. Both she and the child faced being stoned to death back in Saudi Arabia. This is one of several cases of quietly granted asylum for Saudi women facing death. It is done quietly because the last thing the British government wants to do is criticize the House of Saud and their atrocious human rights record and their brutal and medieval treatment of women. Under Bush we handled things differently. We just refused to grant asylum to women facing death or domestic violence. The Obama administration has moved to grant political asylum to foreign women who suffer severe physical or sexual abuse from which they are unable to escape because it is part of the culture of their own countries. The first case involves a woman from Mexico. It will be interesting to see if we grant asylum to women from Saudi Arabia under Obama.
Abstinence only education is on the ropes, both financially and scientifically, since Congress seems less inclined to fund it, and every scientific study shows it does not work. And that is driving Leslee Unruh, president of the National Abstinence Clearinghouse, crazy. Okay, maybe its way too late for that. That ship has already sailed to crazy town and docked permanently. She said recently “"We've got news for the condom worshipers, abstinence education is not going away any time soon. Taxpayers will not tolerate their money being used for ideological latex-only programs and the molestation of their children's minds and future." And I am sure she is fine with the increase in teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, just as long as children’s minds aren’t molested with things like knowledge.

Waiter, what’s this condom doing in my soup? It appears to be doing the front stroke, sir. Philip Hodousek claims to have found a used condom in his French Onion soup at the Mission Viejo California Claim Jumper restaurant. He is suing them for emotional trauma. He is living in hell, terrified he may have contracted some horrible sexual disease. The incident publicly humiliated and embarrassed him and his family. He has not been sexually intimate with his wife since. And no, he is not suing because of the money. He is suing on principle. The lawsuit has nothing to do with the fact that he owes the government almost $300,000 in back taxes. Its all about how careless Claim Jumper is to allow condoms in their soup. He apparently wants to stop the practice. No more using condoms as filler in the cheese. Problem is, Claim Jumper thinks he is a liar and con artist. Well, maybe not an artist. They plan to fight the lawsuit all the way. How does a guy put an entire condom in his mouth thinking it is just cheese? Once unrolled a condom is actually pretty big. The alleged victim took the condom for DNA testing and supposedly found male and female DNA on it, but as evidence it is meaningless because who knows where that condom came from- he took the French onion flavored condom with him when he left the restaurant. The restaurant even had their female employees voluntarily provide their DNA for testing. And why did he fail to show up for DNA testing of his own family? Sure- it could be for perfectly valid reason- for example, maybe the daughter isn’t really his. Even if true- and an independent investigation paid for by Claim Jumper found no evidence that it is, a condom did not get into soup because of anything Claim Jumper did or failed to do. They don’t have to have a specific no condoms in food rule. If true, someone working for them placed the condom in the soup- and they are the ones who committed a crime against Claim Jumper. No jury is going to find Claim Jumper negligent. The quick payoff to go away did not materialize, Claim Jumper plans to fight, and I suspect this may never get to court. And Philip- if you are concerned about having sex with your wife- just use a condom.
It’s a sad day in India, Porn star Savita is gone, assassinated by the government. Well, near enough. Savita is India's first online comic porn star, banned by the Department of Telecommunication, Ministry of IT and Telecom, for promoting obscenity. Her site drew 60 million viewers. A devoted housewife, she spent her says with distant cousins, bra salesmen, old flames, and teenage neighbours. When she had to find work during the recession, she even found time for her boos and a female co-worker. She spread happiness to all who who knew her, and she will be missed.
It was a delicious and refreshing hoax. A supposed commercial for Sprite in Gemany depicted a white woman giving a blow job to a black and thinking that she was thirsty and could really go for a Sprite. We then see her mouth moving up and down on a Sprite bottle which then explodes all over her face. The Coca Cola company was not amused by the professionally produced takeoff and subsequent misreporting in the media.
Not that commercial like this don’t exist. It’s a Dutch commercial for Friesche Vlag, a coffee creamer in a new easy open package. It starts out with a man dancing in the shower, and we see his naked butt. He comes out in a towel, still dancing around in front of his wife. He gets his coffee, and opens the creamer, which splurts out and splashes some of the cream on his wife’s face as his towel drops off. His mother-in-law walks in at that moment to see him naked from behind apparently just having given his wife a facial. I think it is safe to say we won’t see commercials like that on U.S. television any time soon.
Katharine Zaleski at The Huffington Post had what she thought was a great idea. It was titled Nude In NY: Where To Strut With No Stuff. It’s a good premise. There are places to go naked in New York. And thanks to an equality law, women can legally go topless. The piece is basically a slideshow, and the first slide shows nudists on a chartered nude tour of New York harbor. A one time event. Not really a place you can go. The other five slides depict nudists in Oregon, Florida, and as far away as Copenhagen. Here is the problem in her premise, summed up nicely in her text: Believe it or not getting nude in NY isn't such a hard feat. There are numerous places were one can prance around naked amongst his or her nudist peers. Check out a slideshow listing the nudist camps and beaches in NY. Please note that the photos in the slideshow aren't all from NY... despite nudists' penchant to show all, they aren't as camera prone as we'd have hoped. At the top of each slide, she lists a place, with no link or other information, along with a totally unrelated slide. Talk about minimal journalism and a failed attempt at exploiting naked people in the name of sensationalism. She couldn’t even bother to describe any of them? I realize she is only a Huffpo journalist, but does she have to act so mainstream in her journalist laziness and desire to exploit? And her links are not even right. One of her listings is Buckridge Nudist Park, which is actually now Bonita Nudist Park. A simple phone call to confirm would have determined that. Buckridge was a little notorious for doing things like kicking couples out because one of the women was involved in the legal top-free movement and another couple was kicked out because she had a nipple ring- this right after paying her non-refundable dues. Oh, and sending people to Potter’s Falls known for skinny dipping, you might mention you will be arrested if you swim in the water. Journalism- its all about the details. Or used to be.
Octomom has a television series. Or more specifically, Nadya Suleman’s 14 children have a new reality show. Not that they have any say in the matter. And thanks to the Coogan law, an entire 15 percent of the $250,000 the kids earn for three seasons work will be put in a trust. But do the math. The kids wind up with just $892 a year each. The rest of the money is controlled by Mom. And we all know how responsible she is. Its not even enough money to go to college. And this is an issue to me. My Aunt was a child star. You might have seen her as the daughter in Houseboat with Cary Grant and Sophia Loren, or in the Ten Commandments, or as the daughter of John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara in The Wings of Eagles. She started acting at age 2, and did 34 movies and many television shows, including many appearances on Red Skelton, Playhouse 90, and at the end of her career in the late 60’s, as one of the girlfriends on My Three Sons. And when she graduated high school, she discovered that my grandmother had not saved a penny from her long career. There was no money for her to go to college. Not a dime. And here is where it gets personal. I really wanted to be a child actor. But my mother, after the horrible experiences with her family, was not going to allow me to get into acting. SO I missed out on being able to sue her later to get the money she squandered back from my acting career. Who knows how much that cost me.
Nadya Suleman should be the one getting 15 percent. It is absolute bullshit that she is using her kids and profiting from them while they only get enough out of it to maybe buy a used car when they come of age. My grandmother was evil and narcissistic. But at least she only exploited one kid. Abused the other, but only actually exploited one for money. Octomom is exploiting 14 kids. Sure, their lifestyle may be a little better because of the money, but I suspect the majority of it will go to her own indulgences. A really better lifestyle would be to not have to live with this insane, narcissistic crazy woman. They should at least have a special fund set aside for the years of therapy they will no doubt need. And 900 bucks aint gonna cover it.
And in who is getting naked now- its Georgia Jagger, daughter of Mick Jagger. We don’t get a lot of 17 year olds making it into this section. She appears topless from the side in a Hudson jeans ad. It’s a hot picture, um, but she’s 17.
I’m no big fan of sex videos of celebrities released without their permission and not as part of a ploy to reinvigorate their careers. So I don’t feel all that sorry for those Internet surfers looking for the ESPN reporter Erin Andrews video shot apparently without her knowledge in a hotel room- through a peep hole. What the surfers got in many cases was this message- “Your popup blocker has blocked access to the Video Player. To view your video, please launch the Live Video Player below.” And when they did that, what they got was a nasty virus. Being a peeping tom is not without risk. Even if you are a publisher. Using the same set of journalistic standards that allow them to report on both sides of an issue as if they are equal even if one of the sides is represented by a lying idiot, the New York Post and other publications published some of the pictures. ESPN has now banned New York Post employees from any of its events. Even celebrities should have a little privacy in their own hotel rooms.
Former Miss California Carrie Prejean has a book deal with ultra-conservative publisher Regnery. Boy, is she going to be tough to deal with when she discovers they are paying her to write a book and not just read one.
