Political News

You did not want to cross New York City Corrections Officer Jeanette Pinero. Correction Officer Eric DeRavin did, and he was passed over for promotions six times. Another corrections officer, Herbert Reed, had bogus disciplinary and sexual harassment actions filed against him after he wrote up a friend of Pinero's for insubordination. So how did Pinero have so much juice? She was banging the Police Chief, Bernard Kerik. As one of his mistresses, there were special privileges, such as destroying the careers of anyone pissing you off. Ultimately, crossing Pinero turned out to be expensive for the city. DeRavin just settled his lawsuit for $125,000, and Reed settled earlier for $250,000. And those lawsuits were originally filed before Guilliani pushed to have his buddy Kerik appointed as head of Homeland Security. Great vetting job there.

Speaking of Giuliani, seems he’s gotten himself involved with another scandal. And not surprisingly, it involves one of his many affairs. Now, personally, I have nothing against men or women in power who have affairs. That has happened throughout history, and by many of our greatest leaders. In this case, its about the money and apparent coverup. The bills for his security detail were sent to obscure city departments including agencies responsible for aiding the disabled and providing lawyers for indigent defendants. It is unclear if these agencies were ever reimbursed. Still, it adds up to almost half a million dollars, just so Guilliani could travel all the way to Southhampton to meet up with his then mistress and now current wife. Couldn’t he have been more like Clinton and just gotten his blowjobs in his office? And Guilliani even stuck the city with the cost of a car and driver for his mistress. We know Clinton didn’t even stick taxpayers with the cost of cleaning the stained dress.

Personally, I’d love a huge sex scandal involving Senator Trent Lott. Cousin Lott as we call him, as he is a relative of ours. He’s not the type of relative we’d invite to thanksgiving- his anti-gay rhetoric, notorious bigotry, and questionable ethics would make for uncomfortable small talk around the table in our house.  And the rumors have been flying about his sudden resignation. Was it so that the new lobbying restrictions would not effect him, or because of his ties to Bill Allen and the Veco investigation, or, does it have something to do with the announcement by Larry Flynt of a major Republican Senator involved in a significant sex scandal? Flynt has stated that Senator Lott has been the target of an ongoing HUSTLER investigation for some time now. As much as I prefer the later, I am now beginning to have my doubts. A story has been circulating about Lott and a gay male escort named Benjamin Nicholas.  Nicholas, though, has denied any working relationship with Lott. Oh well. Perhaps it is just a sex scandal involving heterosexual sex. As we saw with Louisiana’s David Vitter, your fellow Republicans stand up and applaud you for that. Um, wait. Here is the actual denial from Benjamin’s blog- “Here's my public comment, on-the-record: Sen. Lott and I have no current affiliation with one another. I'm sure he would appreciate no further scrutiny." Apparently, he realized that the current qualifier was a little suspicious, so he added this denial the next day: “I will continue to offer a great sense of confidentiality to the people I see. I have not, nor have I ever seen or had contact with Senator Trent Lott. It's as simple as that. It never happened.” SO your unequivocal denial starts out with an admission that you would never admit someone was a client. Huh.

10 leading scientists in the field of adolescent sexual and reproductive health sent a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV, urging them to discontinue funding for abstinence only education. The letter said in part: By design, abstinence programs restrict information about condoms and contraception - information that may be critical to protecting the health of young people and to preventing unplanned pregnancy, HIV infection, and infection with other sexually transmitted organisms. They ignore the health needs of sexually active youth and youth who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, and questioning for counseling, health care services, and risk reduction education. Withholding lifesaving information from young people is contrary to the standards of medical ethics and to many international human rights conventions.” Those silly scientists. Don’t they realize that after 9-11 everything changed. Didn’t they notice the Bush revolution? Now we kick science out on its ass and waterboard human rights.

It is often said that the most homophobic are motivated by the fear of their own homoerotic feelings. I don’t think that is the case with Patrick Buchanan. In his case, I think he is just a hate filled prick. And his latest diatribe against gays made up in hate what it lacked in logic. Buchanan went after the retired Brig. Gen. Keith Kerr with a 42 year career after asking a question about gays in the military at the CNN debate. Buchanan said that while the general is openly gay now, he did not have the courage to come out of the closet while he was still serving. That’s not courage, that’s a career ender. That was the general’s whole point- that gays in the military can’t serve openly. Last week Buchanan wrote a column complaining that “homosexual sodomy” is no longer “a crime” but “a lifestyle.  It’s a good thing for Buchanan that hate and stupidity aren’t crimes- otherwise, he’d be doing life.

Some places have tough return policies, but apparently, a Walgreens in Los Angeles had a really tough return policy. When two women tried to return some soda they bought there, the security guards took them into custody, held them in small windowless rooms, and told one of them that she was hot and that she could probably “work something out” to get her friend freed. After leering at her and making sexually suggestive comments, the guards even demanded their home phone numbers. When one of the women was left alone for a few minutes, she called police, which wasn’t easy, as the guard had smashed her cell phone against the wall and she had to reassemble it. One of the guards fled before the trial, but the other, Ray, with a long string of prior felony convictions, stated to police that he would have let the woman go if she had just given him her phone number. That is beyond creepy. The lawsuit by the women cost Walgreens and the security firm 2.1 million.  That’s a lot better than a double your money back guarantee, but most people would prefer to skip the false imprisonment and sexual harassment and just get their money back. To be fair, I think that is Walgreen’s official policy now.

At this week’s Republican debate, Fred Thompson announced a new plan for abortion. He is the candidate endorsed by the National Right to Life organization. He would make it a crime for doctors to perform the procedure, a crime of murder with perhaps the death penalty attached. Amongst the Republican candidates, only Guiliani seems to disagree with this notion. Thompson, though, took on the often avoided subject of whether the woman would be prosecuted. In his plan, it would not be a crime for the woman to perform the abortion on herself- just as long as no trained health care personel are involved to insure her safety. SO under Thompson as president, the argument would not be about government funded abortions, but government funded coat hangers.

Entertainment

In the 66 year history of the comic book Wonder Woman, they never had an ongoing female writer. Until now. Gail Simone will be penning Wonder Woman adventures. Wonder Woman was one of the earliest comic superheroes, but more interesting than her creation story is the story of her creator, William Moulton Marston. He had a long and happy polyamorous relationship with two women, believed in the superiority of women, but was also a fan of and advocate of bondage. In almost every issue of Wonder Woman that he wrote, she was tied up. Bondage was even a popular game with the Amazons in his stories. We are assuming that the new writer won’t be bound to the same storylines.

It’s a writing award that most writers dread, so perhaps it is better that Norman Mailer won posthumously. The Bad Sex in Fiction Award was given out this week. Mailer won for his awkward sexual description as part of describing the conception of Hitler in his book The Castle in the Forest, which includes this:  "So Klara turned head to foot and put her most unmentionable part down on his hard-breathing nose and mouth and took his old battering ram into her lips. Uncle was now as soft as a coil of excrement.” Perhaps the whole sex scene should have been left unmentionable. And just because you won a Pulitzer Prize doesn’t mean you can write a sex scene worth shit.

Electronic Arts has pulled racy promotional images for their new game Need For Speed: Pro Street. They apologized that they got through their usual vetting process. Now they can get back to the usual video game promotional strategy of glorifying violence, death, and destruction, which is ever so much less offensive than topless women.

One person who never finds topless women offensive is Mr. Skin, the acknowledged expert on nude scenes in movies. He has just released his list for the top twenty nude scenes for 2007, calling it a very good year for on-screen nudity. Here are his top ten picks.

1.   Marissa Tomei - Before the Devil Knows You're Dead    

2.   Keeley Hazell - Cashback    

3.   Natalie Portman - Hotel Chevalier    

4.   Christina Ricci - Black Snake Moan    

5.   Sienna Miller - Factory Girl    

6.   Roselyn Sanchez - Yellow    

7.   Malin Ackerman - The Heartbreak Kid    

8.   Eva Mendes - We Own the Night    

9.   Lena Headey - 300    

10.  Stormy Daniels and Nautica Thorne - Knocked Up

And in whose getting naked now, Christina Agulera- on the January cover of Marie Claire magazine. The very pregnant Christina seems to stand in odd contrast to the text on the cover- such as “I said no to sex and got sexier” and The busy girls guide to a better body.

"Sex and Breakfast," written and directed by Miles Brandman, is about two couples, played by Macaulay Culkin, Alexis Dziena, Kuno Becker and Eliza Dushku. They go to see sex therapist Dr. Wellbridge, played by Joanna Miles. She advocates the therapeutic value of wife-swapping and orgies. Of course, this leads in the end to group sex between the couples, and it destroys one of the couples and helps the other. As you may know from listening to our discussion of swinging, this is generally a very bad idea for couples having problems, and I can’t imagine a therapist suggesting it. In fact, most are fairly uneducated about swinging and generally against it. Which makes sense, because they see couples with problems, and swinging is a bad idea for couples with problems. And despite the title and titillating group sex idea, the movie apparently does not show much skin. And if it can show group sex without a lot of nudity, I also suspect it shows little understanding of what really goes on with group sex, but we’ll have to wait and see.
