Jollyroger admits that he did work his way through stripper school as a lawyer, but since graduating he has rehabilitated himself, and profits no longer from the misfortune of his brothers, but from the lust of his sisters instead. He is currently on the 60 day DL (too fat); Until he is called back up to the show, he is temping as an inventor.

Once we stop chuckling over the implied low evaluation placed by our nation's enemies on the man standing "a heartbeat away from the presidency", it occurs to wonder why an administration ordinarily on a mission to control the flow of information circulated this tidbit from among the gigabytes collected at Abbottabad.
If I were Joe, I would be checking my back for shivs, and then resign to "seek other opportunities".
I have a dream.
It has nothing to do with the end of racism. My dream is to see the look on Rush Limbaugh's bloated face as he paddles by in his Waterworld survival kayak.
I may yet see it.

The last time I bought sneakers (Nikes, sz 15), the cute girl at the register asked me "Are these for you? Oooh, junk!". (Wherein the noumena of the large footed.)
I do not bring this up in an act of shameless self-promotion (ed note: Yeah, right!) but as the result of random thought associations provoked by the fortuitous juxtaposition in the Times of two stories from what we may (without condescension) call the frontiers of sexual behavior.
The first concerns a man who, inter alia, sought sex in closed places. [Read more]
A recent meander through vale of crazy, where the really, really, wild things are, has acquainted me with the hope evinced by Ron Paul's peeps that somehow they will snatch the Repugnant party right from under Kid Repugnant himself, when they get to the big throw down in Tampa.
Yeah, maybe.
But given that they are quietly racking up ballot line access in all jurisdictions, (not a trivial issue as Gingrich and Santorum, eg, discovered in Virginia...), wouldn't a good Plan B include flooding the pitifully vulnerable party rolls of Americans Elect via internet assault?
The reported level of buyers remorse now expressed by previously enthusiastic consumers of the military model for handling international terrorism can easily be explained as a public relations fumble by propagandists doing the best they could with poor material, or the shortcomings of execution that have hobbled an otherwise sound strategy of enhanced domestic security premised upon "fighting them over there" a little more vigorously, and hence successfully, next time.
It may well be that this becomes the dominant narrative which shapes American international force projection in the future.
The wheels of justice grind slowly--painfully so.
We who have long looked for a Bush appearance in the dock at the Hague for his admitted war crimes, learn with pleasure that an anticipated trip to Canada will present a further opportunity for a last minute change of travel plans.
The quiet judicial coup that took Baltazar Garzon out of the international justice business may have given Bush brief fantasies of a flamenco themed vacation.
Shocking numbers from Afghanistan, show just how wide is the gulf between our GI's and their Afghan "partners"
With hundreds of thousands of troops passing through the country between Jan 2010 and December 2011, only 30 Americans managed to hook-up with that fine Mazar-i-Sharif hash.
A piddling 26 were helped to "get well" by friendly afghan opiate dealers.

Like re-appointing Kristine Svinicki to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which, if you live in many urban centers, including NYC, is all that stands between you and Fukushima redux.
Perhaps I am overly sensitive on this issue, because my third wife, the hooker, said that whenever an American Bar Association or Trial Lawyers Convention was in San Fran, the local sex workers knew that they were in for an unusal amount of price negotiation.
Now, I should not have to point out that renting sex is a very personal transaction, on both sides, as it were.
Hence, it is plain bad manners to convey the following message:
"That is a perfectly nice hundred dollar pussy but it is not a nice three hundred dollar pussy."
Tips for sex tourists: Pay what is asked, or step off. You are not shopping for a carpet.
By Jane Mayer of the New Yorker. If you are wondering how far PBS is willing to go to placate David Koch to keep their funding? It gives you a look into the special documentry "Citizen Koch" and its fall out. The program was never aired except at Sundance. David Koch resigned from WNET on May 16th.

Syrian rebels under siege in a strategic city on the Lebanese border are increasingly turning to social media to wage psychological warfare, according to Vocativ analysts monitoring the region.
The town of Al Qusayr has become ground zero in the war between rebel fighters on the one side and the joint forces of President Bashar Al Assad and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah on the other.
