<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Crazy People..Crazy Shit!</strong></p>
<p>OMG&#8230;you know I heard about the hospital shooting in LA on the radio the other day and the only thing I could think was &#8220;please don&#8217;t let that be at Tiggers hospital&#8221; and then I venture over to my blog and see a comment from Tigger and sure enough it was the same hospital&#8230;ehhhh&#8230;.thank the heavens that Tigger is safe and sound!  Why are people so fucking crazy?  As a leader in my company this shit really scares the hell out of me&#8230;..I terminate someone for god knows what reason&#8230;and the person trips out &#8230;hunts me down&#8230;.and a bitch gets killed&#8230;.ehhhhhh enough talk about death and crazy killers&#8230;.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="USA - Texas" src="https://i0.wp.com/farm3.static.flickr.com/2201/2082795663_5fbb3bc985_o.jpg" alt="" width="440" height="323" /></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Now lets talk about other crazy people&#8230;.how about Gov Rick Perry&#8230;..all wanting to secede from the USA.  You know what I say &#8220;go fuckin ahead&#8230;.don&#8217;t care&#8230;mmmkk&#8221; it goes right along with the rest of the crazy Republican tricks and crap&#8230;.found a <a href="http://crooksandliars.com/john-amato/gov-perry-talks-succession-texas-tea-pa" target="_blank">good story on it</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><img class="alignnone" title="Susan Boyle" src="https://i0.wp.com/blogs.villagevoice.com/dailymusto/Images/susanboyle1.jpg" alt="" width="404" height="307" /></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">and now <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxPZh4AnWyk" target="_blank">Susan Boyle from &#8220;Britain&#8217;s Got Talent&#8221;</a> &#8230;.so here&#8217;s the thing&#8230;.I&#8217;m really tired of the media&#8217;s coverage and for lack of better words &#8220;slap in the face&#8221; &#8230;.so the assumption that she would be a tragic singer just because she looks a &#8220;hot tranny mess&#8221; is just a bloody sad thing&#8230;.we are all so hung up on looks in this world that we can&#8217;t get past her out of control eyebrows, the hair from hell and the not so great face&#8230;..so what&#8230;bitch can SING!  and some of the reports I&#8217;ve seen on this have just been down right crude&#8230;each one going &#8220;omg who would have thought she would sing so well&#8221; yeah well if you didn&#8217;t getting so grossed out by her looks&#8230;.and maybe just focused on what she came to do&#8230;.then it really wouldn&#8217;t be newsworthy&#8230;..I say &#8220;you go hot tranny mess!&#8221;  (and yes..I know she&#8217;s not a tranny!)</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">But I did find <a href="http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/tv/article2380141.ece" target="_blank">one story that made me laugh a little</a> &#8230;.because of that bitch girl in audience who pulled out the face with her eyes rolling&#8230;..</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Susan Boyle gives hope for ugly bitches like me&#8230;.mkkkkk</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">hollar</p>

<p>Crawling in my skin<br />
These wounds, they will not heal<br />
Fear is how I fall<br />
Confusing what is real</p>
<p>There&#8217;s something inside me that pulls beneath the surface<br />
Consuming/confusing<br />
This lack of self-control I fear is never ending<br />
Controlling/I can&#8217;t seem</p>
<p>To find myself again<br />
My walls are closing in<br />
(Without a sense of confidence, I&#8217;m convinced that there&#8217;s just too much pressure to take)<br />
I&#8217;ve felt this way before<br />
So insecure</p>
<p>Crawling in my skin<br />
These wounds, they will not heal<br />
Fear is how I fall<br />
Confusing what is real</p>
<p>Discomfort, endlessly has pulled itself upon me<br />
Distracting/reacting<br />
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection<br />
It`s haunting how I can&#8217;t seem&#8230;</p>
<p>To find myself again<br />
My walls are closing in<br />
(Without a sense of confidence, I&#8217;m convinced that there&#8217;s just too much pressure to take)<br />
I&#8217;ve felt this way before<br />
So insecure</p>
<p>Crawling in my skin<br />
These wounds, they will not heal<br />
Fear is how I fall<br />
Confusing what is real</p>
<p>Crawling in my skin<br />
These wounds, they will not heal<br />
Fear is how I fall<br />
Confusing, confusing what is real<br />
(There&#8217;s something inside me that pulls beneath the surface)<br />
Consuming, confusing what is real<br />
(This lack of self-control I fear is never ending)<br />
Controlling, confusing what is real.</p>

<span class="featured_story_date" style="font-size:10px;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#7d7d7d;margin:0;padding:3px 0 0;">12.22.2008 10:49am EST</span></div>
<p style="line-height:1.3em;margin:12px 0;">(New York City) US Senate hopeful Caroline Kennedy says she supports the right of gay and lesbian couples to marry.</p>
<p>Kennedy is seeking the Senate seat being vacated by Hillary Clinton who has been nominated by President-elect Barack Obama to be Secretary of State.</p>
<p style="line-height:1.3em;margin:12px 0;">Kennedy is one of several people seeking the seat. NY Gov. David Paterson has not indicated when he will make his selection.</p>
<p style="line-height:1.3em;margin:12px 0;">Kennedy’s position on same-sex marriage puts her to the left of both Clinton and Obama, who have said they believe marriage should be limited to opposite-sex couples but that they support civil unions for gay couples.</p>
<p style="line-height:1.3em;margin:12px 0;">It does, however, put her on a par with Paterson, who supports legislation in New York state to allow same-sex marriage.</p>
<p style="line-height:1.3em;margin:12px 0;">Kennedy’s position was contained in a policy statement released by her spokesperson after The Buffalo News sent her inquiries involving several policy areas.</p>
<p style="line-height:1.3em;margin:12px 0;">“Caroline supports full equality and marriage rights for gay and lesbian couples,” Kennedy spokesman Stefan Friedman said.</p>
<p style="line-height:1.3em;margin:12px 0;">Friedman also said that Kennedy “supports President-elect Obama’s plan to work with our military leaders to begin a responsible withdrawal.” He said she supports a ban on assault weapons and the expansion of health care coverage to all Americans.</p>
<p style="line-height:1.3em;margin:12px 0;">Among the others seeking Clinton’s Senate seat is NY Attorney General Andrew Cuomo.</p>

<div class="story_attribution"><span class="story_author" style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#3090c0;margin:0;padding:0 0 3px;">By<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.365gay.com/archive/?id=12&amp;logo=t">The Associated Press</a></span><br />
<span class="featured_story_date" style="font-size:10px;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#7d7d7d;margin:0;padding:3px 0 0;">12.22.2008 10:46am EST</span></div>
<p style="line-height:1.3em;margin:12px 0;">(Amsterdam, Netherlands) Amsterdam hosted a Christmas celebration for its gay community on Sunday featuring a nativity tableau with a male Mary in drag that church organizations denounced as an affront to traditional values.</p>
</div>
<p>Organizers said the event was meant to raise Amsterdam’s profile as a gay capital at a time when homosexuals feel threatened.</p>
<p style="line-height:1.3em;margin:12px 0;">Christians for Truth, an independent religious group, had asked the city council to cancel the “Pink Christmas,” event, saying it made a mockery of Christian tenets. The city did not comment.</p>
<p style="line-height:1.3em;margin:12px 0;">A male entertainer known as Wendy Mills posed as Mary in a blonde wig and high-heeled black boots and holding a plastic doll. Another man played Joseph in black leather trunks and a silver shawl.</p>
<p style="line-height:1.3em;margin:12px 0;">The five-person manger scene was staged off the street, in the courtyard of a nightclub. Visitors were invited to be photographed with the group. The first was 3-month-old Lily Pink Albers, Mills’ niece.</p>
<p style="line-height:1.3em;margin:12px 0;">“By portraying Joseph and Mary as homosexuals, a twisted human fantasy is being added to the history of the Bible,” Christians for Truth said in a statement ahead of the event.</p>
<p style="line-height:1.3em;margin:12px 0;">A few dozen visitors wandered through the 100-yard (meter) long Pink Market past stalls selling leather goods and Christmas cards with gay themes on a downtown street known for its gay nightlife and popular restaurants.</p>
<p style="line-height:1.3em;margin:12px 0;">Frank van Dalen, chairman of Pro Gay, which organized the event, said gays were not satisfied with being tolerated, but wanted to be “socially accepted as an indivisible part of society.”</p>
<p style="line-height:1.3em;margin:12px 0;">He said the Amsterdam city council sponsored the euro15,000 ($21,000) event, which he hoped would become a regular event, like the annual floating summertime gay pride parade through the city’s canals that attracts tens of thousands of visitors.</p>
<p style="line-height:1.3em;margin:12px 0;">“Our objective is not to be offensive. This is about visibility,” he said.</p>
<p style="line-height:1.3em;margin:12px 0;">Van Dalen pointed to a report last month that said homophobia was an ingrained problem in Amsterdam, despite the city’s freewheeling reputation.</p>
<p style="line-height:1.3em;margin:12px 0;">The study by the University of Amsterdam reported 67 violent attacks against gays in 2007, which police said was about average.</p>
<p style="line-height:1.3em;margin:12px 0;">Van Dalen said gays were feeling increasingly uncomfortable in public in recent years, and that they perceived Dutch society as more assertive about “classical values.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;AMA&#8221; Stands For &#8220;Average, Mediocre Awards&#8221;<br />
Posted Sun Nov 23, 2008 11:52pm PST by Lyndsey Parker in And The Winner Is&#8230;</p>
<p>from Yahoo Music</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to be honest with you, readers. I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;ve ever been so unmotivated to write a blog in my illustrious career. I&#8217;d hire a ghostwriter, but it&#8217;s too late for that now.</p>
<p>Why am I so uninspired? Because this year&#8217;s American Music Awards ceremony was for the most part&#8230;well, uninspiring. There were no what I like to call &#8220;watercooler moments&#8221;&#8211;no big upsets, no YouTubably crazy speeches, no Russell Brand-style controversies, and hardly even any truly jaw-dropping performances (though there were indeed some good ones, and I will get to those). There was nothing that really got my fingers a-typing.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s my word count again?</p>
<p>The biggest &#8220;surprise&#8221; of the night wasn&#8217;t the Britney Spears appearance that was rumored on the interweb, but an unbilled cameo by her ex, Justin Timberlake. But why did he do no more than present an award? When he made a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live last weekend, he slipped on a uni-sleeved unitard, camped it up alongside Beyonce, and stole the show. Well, a leotarded Beyonce was performing &#8220;Single Ladies&#8221; on the AMAs tonight&#8211;would it have killed JT to revisit his SNL routine? And even if Justin left the leotard at home, Rihanna performed tonight too, singing &#8220;Rehab,&#8221; the song she just recorded as a duet with Justin. He&#8217;d been on the stage maybe six minutes before Rihanna showed up&#8211;so why couldn&#8217;t he join her? Gawd knows the woman always needs all the assistance she can get in the singing department.</p>
<p>Sigh. Anyway, before I start hating on Rihanna too much, let me get to the fierce female performances I did dig tonight. Yes, it was all about the ladies this evening, and thankfully, many of them sang quite well. Beyonce&#8217;s aforementioned &#8220;Single Ladies&#8221;&#8211;with or without Justin&#8211;was a highlight, although the woman needs to come up with another dance routine for the song at this point. The &#8220;Single Ladies&#8221; dance is kind of beginning to get as played-out as the &#8220;Macarena&#8221; by now. If the &#8220;Single Ladies&#8221; song actually inspires any coldfooted bachelors to pop the question, I pretty much expect grandmas to be doing the &#8220;Single Ladies&#8221; dance at those wedding by next June. And who wants to see that?</p>
<p>Going back to the beginning of the broadcast, and things I want to see&#8230;onetime Britney rival Christina Aguilera&#8217;s seven-songs-in-seven-minutes medley was a solid way to open the show. She looked pretty amazing in her Madonna-circa-&#8220;Open Your Heart&#8221; onesie and thigh-high Pretty Woman boots&#8211;didn&#8217;t this skinny little thing have a baby, like, a month ago?&#8211;and yep, the girl can sing. True, her verging-on-shrieking oversinging got a tad annoying by minute number four, but in this Auto-Tunes era it was still heartening to watch a performance by a genuine talent who didn&#8217;t have to resort to lipsynching. (Pussycat Dolls, I&#8217;m looking at you&#8230;)</p>
<p>Another fantastic female who really belted it out was Pink. Her performance was set up rather anti-climactically by fabled burnout Scott Weiland, whose stilted Teleprompter struggle and braindead monotone delivery sort of undermined what was supposed to be his enthusiastic introduction of &#8220;one of the great artists of our time.&#8221; (Ironically, the title of the Pink song he introduced was &#8220;Sober.&#8221;) But Pink rocked it, looking all classy and screen-siren-ish a la Madonna in the &#8220;Express Yourself&#8221; video (all pop roads lead back to Madonna, you see). Personally, I would have preferred her riding onto the stage naked on a lawnmower for &#8220;So What&#8221;&#8211;but that would have probably blown Weiland&#8217;s one remaining good brain cell.</p>
<p>While I found the ballads by Leona Lewis and her logical predecessor, Mariah Carey, a little snoozy&#8211;how many more times must I watch them put on pageant gowns and sing all nicey-nice and Stepford-Wifey?&#8211;I was surprisingly impressed by country tween queen Taylor Swift. I&#8217;ve never considered her a singer of diva caliber&#8211;and I still don&#8217;t; she just doesn&#8217;t have the octave-hopping voice for that&#8211;but on tonight&#8217;s AMAs she sang her breakup song &#8220;White Horse&#8221; with a conviction and passion and edge that I&#8217;ve never witnessed from her before. Could that be because her famously warring ex-boyfriend Joe Jonas was in the audience tonight? Possibly and probably. I bet he was really squirming in his Nokia Theater seat for those four minutes. So why didn&#8217;t the cameras cut to Joe in audience just once? Why did the camera crew cut to the JoBros only when host Jimmy Kimmel was making fun of them?</p>
<p>(On a side note, speaking of squirminess: Taylor was introduced by David Cook, and he was sporting two very disturbingly supergroomed eyebrows. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;d seen such overzealously plucked brows on a male reality-television star since Joey Lawrence was still on Dancing With The Stars. Put down the tweezers, David! Or just use them on your soulpatch instead.)</p>
<p>Other women did their thing tonight: Natasha Bedingfield, Sarah McLachlan with duet partner Pink, and Alicia Keys with Queen Latifah and opera soprano Kathleen Battle. The latter performance was an all-over-the-place trainwreck, and Natasha&#8217;s hair was distracting (note to her stylist: choppy bobs look good on Rihanna and Posh Spice; on Natasha, not so much). But it was neat to see such a wide range of female talent, especially in an era when it seems that female pop stars are more valued for their body parts than for their four-part harmonies. (Pussycat Dolls, I&#8217;m looking at you&#8230;)</p>
<p>But the coolest female performance was by one of the coolest females ever, period: Annie Lennox.</p>
<p>Annie was there to accept her lifetime-achievement Award Of Merit trophy (presented by the aforementioned Justin Timberlake), and to celebrate she treated the audience to a piano performance of one of her biggest solo hits, &#8220;Why.&#8221; What a treat. This was real talent, people&#8211;and not in a showoffy, American Idol/Celine Dion/Mariah Carey sort of way. Annie didn&#8217;t need to turn every syllable into eight syllables and punch herself in the chest like some &#8220;Star-Spangled Banner&#8221;-ruining blowhard to prove she&#8217;s got the goods. She sounded pure and amazing, she looked amazing (how can she be 53?!?), and her performance was one of the few genuinely goosebumpy moments of the night. They sure don&#8217;t make &#8217;em like Annie Lennox anymore.</p>
<p>My last point in the above paragraph was emphasized by the females who didn&#8217;t quite bring the girl power to the AMAs. (Pussycat Dolls, I&#8217;m looking at you&#8230;again.) Yes, I found it ironic that the Pussycat Dolls &#8220;sang&#8221; a song called &#8220;I Hate This Part,&#8221; because you know what part of the AMAs broadcast I hated most? When PCD were onstage! Nicole Scherzinger hit a note in the middle of &#8220;When I Grow Up&#8221; so wonky, I thought I might suffer a Weiland-style mental meltdown.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Miley Cyrus&#8211;who turned 16 today&#8211;celebrated her sweet 16 by embarrassing herself on national TV, delivering a not-so-sweet performance that consisted mostly of her running side to side, jazzercise-style, while performance-artist mummies from either a New Order music video or an albino-Sprockets SNL skit confusingly flitted around her.</p>
<p>Happy birthday, Miley. I guess&#8230;</p>
<p>Another disappointing effort was by the always vocally challenged but not normally style-challenged Rihanna, who after tonight needed to go straight to fashion rehab. What was up with that bejeweled eyepatch she wore during her Timberlake-less &#8220;Rehab&#8221; performance? Only Slick Rick could get away with that&#8211;on Rihanna, it was not so slick. And her Tina Turner-at-Thunderdome chainmail dress should have earned her a Glamour magazine &#8220;Do&#8217;s &amp; Don&#8217;ts&#8221; black bar across both eyes. I usually admire Rihanna&#8217;s willingness to take fashion risks, but this one just didn&#8217;t pay off. Even the PVC-clad PCD were probably thinking, &#8220;Dang, that outfit is a hot mess.&#8221;</p>
<p>OK, enough about the laydeez. As far as the male performances went, New Kids On The Block were surprisingly solid. Sure, Joey McIntyre was a bit pitchy in places and Jordan Knight struggled with his falsetto, but they did not embarrass themselves whatsoever. Their comeback has been a much bigger, and more credible, success than I ever would have predicted. Apparently they still have the right stuff!</p>
<p>Ne-Yo was by far the best-dressed man at the AMAs, and his backup dancers, the Sexy Loves&#8211;all decked out like En Vogue in the classic &#8220;Giving Him Something He Can Feel&#8221; video&#8211;made him look even better. Plus, &#8220;Miss Independent&#8221; and &#8220;Closer&#8221; are two of the best R&amp;B singles of 2008, so this was bound to be a good performance.</p>
<p>Coldplay probably delivered my second-favorite performance of the evening, after Annie&#8217;s. Compared to most of the AMA acts, they came across as positively out-there avant garde (they were probably the only artist at the ceremony whose album was produced by Brian Eno&#8211;I highly doubt Miley&#8217;s was), delivering a dynamic performance in the center of an autumn-leaves windstorm, dressed in their vaguely fetishy crossing-the-Delaware military uniforms. It seemed like everyone loved this performance. Everyone, of course, except for the poor janitor who had to sweep up all those dried leaves.</p>
<p>The Jonas Brothers were cute and didn&#8217;t bother me. (Which wasn&#8217;t the case with the Dream&#8211;was I just imagining it, or did I hear the Dream mutter something under his breath about wanting to &#8220;choke&#8221; the JoBros?) I am outside the JBs&#8217; target demo at this point, but I totally get them. I totally understand why 12-year-old girls crush on them. I would too, if I was 12. (I think I&#8217;d crush on Joe&#8211;he&#8217;s the dreamiest one, pun intended). Plus, they play their own instruments, their songs are kind of catchy in a Rick-Springfieldian sort of way, and no one tripped onstage tonight (like Joe Jonas did at last year&#8217;s AMAs), so clearly they&#8217;re improving. There were worse artists tonight on which to focus my wrath.</p>
<p>Like, say, Kanye West. Now, don&#8217;t get me wrong&#8211;I think Kanye is insanely talented, and I love his music. When he raps. But the guy sings worse than Girl #5 in the Pussycat Dolls&#8211;this was readily apparent when he warbled &#8220;Heartless&#8221; without the assistance of Auto-Tunes. Maybe someone could invent some sort of portable Auto-Tunes hold-to-throat device (something like the battery-operated contraption Vietnam vet on South Park has), which pitch-imperfect &#8220;singers&#8221; could use onstage to keep them in tune? Because that&#8217;s the only way Kanye would be able to get away with a song like this outside his million-dollar studio. The guy said in one of his acceptance speeches tonight, &#8220;I wanna be Elvis,&#8221; but you know&#8230;Elvis could sing. I&#8217;m just sayin&#8217;.</p>
<p>On a side note, though, I was digging Kanye&#8217;s new sunglasses&#8211;it sort of looked like he&#8217;d strapped an entire &#8217;70s Viewmaster toy to his face. It somehow worked, in a way Rihanna&#8217;s eyepatch did not. &#8216;Ye managed to rock those specs, and they distracted from his utter inability to sing. Those old sunglasses of his were getting really tired, so I support him for changing up his style in this manner. Now I fully expect Viewmaster-shades to replace shuttershades in every sunglasses mall kiosk in time for the holiday shopping season.</p>
<p>OK, I think I&#8217;ve hit my word count now. I guess that wasn&#8217;t so hard.</p>
<p>To sum up: There were a few decent performances, a couple great ones, a few bad ones, some awards were given out, and the winners (the biggies being Chris Brown, Rihanna, Kanye West, and Alicia Keys) thanked their fans and their managers and God. But I already forget who won specifically&#8211;yes, it was that kind of night&#8211;and really now, isn&#8217;t it the performances people always remember, not who won what?</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s hope the Grammys are more exciting than this&#8230;</p>

<p><span class="ratingtext"><strong><span class="large">Boy George goes on trial for false imprisonment</span></strong><span style="font-size:1px;"></p>
<p></span>11/24/2008 1:24 PM, AP<br />
</span> <span style="font-size:8px;"></p>
<p></span>A Norwegian escort told a court Monday that <span class="yshortcuts">Boy George</span> manacled him to a <span class="yshortcuts">bedroom wall</span> and beat him with a metal chain after accusing him of hacking into his computer.</p>
<p>The former <span class="yshortcuts">Culture Club</span> singer is on trial for the <span class="yshortcuts">false imprisonment</span> of 29-year-old Audun Carlsen.</p>
<p>The 47-year-old singer, who is standing trial under his real name, <span class="yshortcuts">George O&#8217;Dowd</span>, denies the charge.</p>
<p>Carlsen told <span class="yshortcuts">London&#8217;s Snaresbrook Crown Court</span> that he met the singer through a Web site and went to his London home for a naked photo shoot. After the encounter Boy George sent a series e-mails accusing Carlsen of hacking into his computer, but Carlsen nonetheless agreed to return for a second photo session several weeks later in April 2007.</p>
<p>Carlsen told the jury that when he arrived Boy George and another man held him down and beat him before the singer handcuffed him to a hook in the bedroom wall.</p>
<p>&#8220;George was slapping me and beating me and punching me and screaming things,&#8221; Carlsen said.</p>
<p>Carlsen said he was able to escape by unscrewing the hook and running for the door.</p>
<p>&#8220;I took a bit of time getting the door open and he had a metal chain that he was hitting me with,&#8221; Carlsen said.</p>
<p>Carlsen said he ran into the street clad only in his underwear. The court was shown photographs of red welts on Carlsen&#8217;s head and injuries to his arm which he said had been inflicted during the attack.</p>
<p>Boy George&#8217;s androgynous image and powerful voice made him an `80s icon, and gave <span class="yshortcuts">Culture Club hits</span> including &#8220;<span class="yshortcuts">Karma Chameleon</span>&#8221; and &#8220;<span class="yshortcuts">Do You Really Want to Hurt Me</span>?&#8221;</p>
<p>But the singer struggled for years with drug problems.</p>
<p>In 2006 he was ordered to do community service with New York City&#8217;s Department of Sanitation after pleading guilty to false reporting of an incident. He called police with a false report of a burglary at his lower Manhattan apartment, and the responding officers found cocaine inside.</p>

<p>Comedian Wanda Sykes says she&#8217;s &#8216;proud to be gay&#8217;<br />
By Associated Press<br />
37 minutes ago<br />
celebs:<br />
Wanda Sykes</p>
<p>Associated Press<br />
LAS VEGAS &#8211; Comedian Wanda Sykes says the passage of a same-sex marriage ban in California has led to her be more outspoken about being gay.</p>
<p>&#8220;You know, I don&#8217;t really talk about my sexual orientation. I didn&#8217;t feel like I had to. I was just living my life, not necessarily in the closet, but I was living my life,&#8221; Sykes told a crowd at a gay rights rally in Las Vegas on Saturday.</p>
<p>&#8220;Everybody that knows me personally they know I&#8217;m gay. But that&#8217;s the way people should be able to live their lives,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>Sykes, who is known for her feisty and blunt style, said the passage of California&#8217;s Proposition 8 made her feel like she was &#8220;attacked.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Now, I gotta get in their face,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I&#8217;m proud to be a woman. I&#8217;m proud to be a black woman, and I&#8217;m proud to be gay.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sykes&#8217; appearance at the Las Vegas rally surprised organizers. She was in town performing at the Planet Hollywood Resort &amp; Casino.</p>

<div class="storybyline" style="color:#999999!important;margin:0 0 15px!important;">By Cara Mia DiMassa  and Jessica Garrison<br />
November 8, 2008</div>
<div id="article_body" class="storybody">
<div class="storybody">For Trebor Healey, a 46-year-old gay man from Glendora, Tuesday&#8217;s election was bittersweet.</div>
<div class="storybody"></div>
<div class="storybody">He was thrilled that the nation elected its first African American president. But he was disappointed that black voters, traditionally among the most reliably liberal in the state, voted overwhelmingly to ban same-sex marriage.</div>
<div class="storybody">
<p>He understands that there are differences between the civil rights battles of blacks and gays: For one thing, he notes, gay people have a much easier time blending in. Still, he says, he thinks it&#8217;s sad that &#8220;people do not equate one civil rights struggle with another.&#8221;</p>
<p>Many black voters didn&#8217;t see it that way.</p>
<p>&#8220;I was born black. I can&#8217;t change that,&#8221; said Culver City resident Bilson Davis, 57, who voted for Proposition 8. &#8220;They weren&#8217;t born gay; they chose it,&#8221; he added, reflecting a commonly held belief that many researchers dispute.</p></div>
<p>Although many of the state&#8217;s black political leaders spoke out against Proposition 8, an exit poll of California voters showed that black voters favored the measure by a ratio of more than 2 to 1. Not only was the black vote weighted heavily in favor of Proposition 8, but black turnout &#8212; spurred by Barack Obama&#8217;s historic campaign for president &#8212; was unusually large, with African Americans making up roughly 10% of the state electorate.</p>
<p>The exit poll didn&#8217;t ask voters why they voted the way they did. But Madison Shockley, pastor of Pilgrim United Church of Christ in Carlsbad and among the roughly one-third of blacks who opposed Proposition 8, said the vote was understandable. &#8220;Black folks go to church, probably more than the Caucasian population, and the churches they go to tend to be very traditional.&#8221;</p>
<p>Los Angeles resident Christopher Hill, 50, said he was motivated by religion in supporting Proposition 8. Civil rights, he said, &#8220;are about getting a job, employment.&#8221;</p>
<p>Gay marriage, he said, is not: &#8220;It&#8217;s an abomination against God.&#8221;</p>
<p>One complicating factor was that both sides in the campaign had plausible reason to claim Obama&#8217;s support. The president-elect strongly stated his opposition to the proposition, calling it &#8220;divisive and discriminatory.&#8221;</p>
<p>But he has also said in public speeches that he opposes same-sex marriage. In the days leading up to the election, some Democrats received &#8220;robo-calls&#8221; on their cellphones containing an excerpt from such a speech.</p>
<p>&#8220;Here is Barack Obama in his own words on the definition of marriage,&#8221; the call began.</p>
<p>Then the voice of Obama speaking to a crowd comes on: &#8220;I believe marriage is a union between a man and a woman. Now, for me as a Christian, it is also a sacred union. God is in the mix.&#8221;</p>
<p>A narrator then urged a yes vote on Proposition 8.</p>
<p>California Democratic Party consultant Roger Salazar was among the recipients of the call.</p>
<p>&#8220;They saw the Obama tide coming and they were trying to capitalize on it,&#8221; Salazar said, adding that the call was &#8220;manipulative and deceitful,&#8221; given the candidate&#8217;s stated opposition to the amendment.</p>
<p>Still, those efforts, combined with a push by dozens of African American ministers and commercials and mailers arguing that children would be subjected to a pro-gay curriculum should the measure pass, had an effect on voters like Pasadena resident Doris Tucker.</p>
<p>Tucker, who is African American, said she voted for &#8220;all the good things,&#8221; especially Obama and Proposition 8. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s right,&#8221; Tucker said of gay marriage. &#8220;They shouldn&#8217;t let it go on.&#8221;</p>
<p>On Friday, four leaders of the No-on-8 campaign put out a statement urging cooperation among groups around the issue. &#8220;We achieve nothing if we isolate the people who did not stand with us in this fight,&#8221; the statement said. &#8220;We only further divide our state if we attempt to blame people of faith, African American voters, rural communities and others for this loss.&#8221;</p>
<p>In conversationsthis week, organizers of the campaign against Proposition 8 discussed the racial divide on the measure. Said Kate Kendell, executive director of the National Center for Lesbian Rights: &#8220;One cannot underestimate the effect that . . . the robo-calls had where people heard Barack Obama&#8217;s voice and then they were told to vote yes on 8.&#8221;</p>
<p>Still, she added, the campaign could have done a better job reaching out to black voters. &#8220;The way you really move votes in the African American community is with conversations, with [real-life] experience . . . making sure that people see there are African American lesbian and gay people who will be affected by this. That is something we intend to assist our community leaders in doing more of,&#8221; she added. &#8220;That is a real lesson learned.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ron Buckmire, who heads the Barbara Jordan/Bayard Rustin Coalition, a black gay-rights group in Los Angeles, said the vote shows that &#8220;there is a lot of work to be done in the black community.&#8221;</p>
<p>Buckmire said the campaign should also have emphasized that, at its core, the proposition was about stripping a minority of a right that they had enjoyed. &#8220;The civil rights of people should not be put to a vote,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Period. I would have thought that that message would have gotten through.&#8221;</p>
<p>Shockley agreed. Civil rights, he said, has come to mean &#8220;one thing in the popular culture&#8221;: the empowerment of black people.</p>
<p>But &#8220;what people don&#8217;t realize is that King said over and over that the victories of civil rights were won for everyone,&#8221; he added, referring to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.</p>
<p>Political strategist Darry Sragow said that the success of Proposition 8 shows that several assumptions about California voters, particularly black voters, proved to be false &#8212; namely, that &#8220;because you are for civil rights and equality, you are liberal on everything.&#8221;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just some of my favorite radio and tv host who display the &#8220;in your face&#8221; style of reporting&#8230;you gotta love em!</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" title="Rachel Maddow" src="https://i0.wp.com/farm4.static.flickr.com/3232/2990858744_ff6c10f67b_m.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="180" /></p>
<p>Rachel Maddow: The Rachel Maddow Show (<a href="http://airamerica.com/" target="_blank">Air America</a>, <a href="http://www.xmradio.com/onxm/channelpage.xmc?ch=167" target="_blank">America Left XM Radio</a>, <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26315908/" target="_blank">MSNBC</a>)</p>
<p>We love Rachel Maddow&#8230;such a fabulously smart and sassy lesbian.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Rachel" src="https://i0.wp.com/farm4.static.flickr.com/3202/2990858646_df40c48ff2_m.jpg" alt="" width="158" height="240" /></p>
<p><img class="alignleft" title="Lynn Samuels" src="https://i0.wp.com/farm4.static.flickr.com/3001/2990858600_c61ed23833_m.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="208" />The ever bitchy <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynn_Samuels" target="_blank">Lynn Samuels</a> from <a href="http://www.sirius.com/siriusleft" target="_blank">Sirius Left</a> and <a href="http://www.frankdecaro.com/" target="_blank">Frank DeCaro</a> of <a href="http://www.sirius.com/outq" target="_blank">Sirius OutQ Radio</a>.</p>
<p>I actually listen to Lynn every night (you gotta love the Sirius Stilletto Radio with the playback function as she&#8217;s on from 1pm-3pm daily) I&#8217;ve almost gotten to the point where I&#8217;m not able to go to sleep unless im listening to my Lynn with her thick Queens accent.</p>
<p>She&#8217;s such an Obama hatter but she has some very valid points and I much like her, am so sad that our Hillary was screwed over!</p>
<p>You either love Lynn or hate her&#8230;no gray in the middle!</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" title="Morning Joe" src="https://i0.wp.com/farm4.static.flickr.com/3234/2990071515_704445fce3_m.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="180" />and I just love Mika &amp; Joe in the mornings on <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036789/" target="_blank">Morning Joe</a></p>
<p><img class="alignleft" title="keith" src="https://i0.wp.com/farm4.static.flickr.com/3042/2990004835_1c08d1b996_o.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="299" /></p>
<p>and then <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036677/" target="_blank">Keith Olbermann</a> &#8230;.I love him mostly for the slaps in the face that he provides on a daily basis to such idiots as Bill ..and Ann&#8230;..</p>

<p>Loving his new solo stuff with Timbaland (a strange combo that works) can&#8217;t wait for the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scream_(Chris_Cornell_album)" target="_blank">Scream Album</a> to drop.  Not only is his vocal ability just freakin awesome, he&#8217;s also a great song writer. While I must admit that I wasn&#8217;t two hot for his two most recent attempts at a solo career, this stuff seems to bring back the voice that I once knew&#8230;mixed with more of a Timbaland &#8220;R&amp;B Pop Kinda Flare&#8221; &#8230;it&#8217;s good stuff.

And you can say what you want<br />
Turn around every night<br />
So now you&#8217;re always going off<br />

Or if I even crossed the line<br />
Is that the hollar going for blood<br />
Girl, it doesn&#8217;t have to be a fight</p>
<p>Throwing out the blame when you know it ain&#8217;t my fault<br />

I&#8217;m standing right in front of your face<br />
Why?<br />
I know sometimes we don&#8217;t get along<br />
So Chris sing the second verse to you<br />
Like this]</p>
<p>Take a minute to tell you now<br />
Don&#8217;t have to raise my tone<br />
Take the level and bring it down<br />
I just want you to know<br />
I got no trouble with what you said</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t even think you&#8217;re wrong<br />
It&#8217;s how you say it<br />
You lose your head<br />

I used to  <span class="lx-link-style3" style="border-bottom-color:blue;color:blue;"><span style="color:blue;">watch</span></span> your flowers grow<br />
Now it&#8217;s raining and all your petals turns to stone<br />
I&#8217;ve been praying<br />
I turn around and see my rose<br />
But you faded<br />
You left me now it&#8217;s time to go</p>
<p>You&#8217;re like a diamond and I&#8217;m like glass<br />
Like oil and water we always clash<br />
Sometimes my confessions are hard for me<br />
I&#8217;ll tell you now I&#8217;m setting you free</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why I&#8217;m long gone, long gone<br />
You need to let me fly alone (X3)<br />
That&#8217;s why I&#8217;m long gone, long gone<br />
It may be to late our time is done</p>
<p>Baby<br />
I think you&#8217;ve got your timing wrong<br />
Hating<br />
Exploring this while we&#8217;re riding on<br />
And it&#8217;s crazy to think that I could be reborn<br />
If you saved me<br />
Now it&#8217;s to late and you&#8217;ll never know</p>
<p>You&#8217;re like a diamond and I&#8217;m like glass<br />
Like oil and water we always clash<br />
Sometimes my confessions are hard for me<br />
I&#8217;ll tell you now I&#8217;m setting you free</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why I&#8217;m long gone, long gone<br />
You need to let me fly alone (X3)<br />
That&#8217;s why I&#8217;m long gone, long gone<br />
It may be to late our time is done</p>
<p>With broken wings (with broken wings)<br />
I can&#8217;t fly (I can&#8217;t fly)<br />
I&#8217;m gonna need you to save me, angel of mine<br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Dicky Lyons Jr" src="https://i0.wp.com/farm4.static.flickr.com/3005/2940629957_f4042baa60_o.png" alt="" width="400" height="302" /></p>
<p>My Hottie Boi &#8220;Dicky Lyons Jr&#8221; UK wide receiver is out for the season with a knee injury.  I&#8217;m sad, no more Hot Dicky!  Hope he has a speedy recovery!</p>
<p>LEXINGTON, Ky. – University of Kentucky wide receiver <a href="http://www.ukathletics.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/lyonsjr_dicky00.html" target="_blank">Dicky Lyons Jr.</a> will miss the remainder of the season after an MRI exam revealed tears to the medial collateral and posterior cruciate ligaments in his right knee.</p>
<p>Lyons will undergo surgery in about a week when the swelling decreases, UK coach Rich Brooks said today at his weekly news conference, and the injury will end the senior&#8217;s playing career with the Wildcats.</p>
<p><img class="alignright" title="Dicky Lyons in Action" src="https://i0.wp.com/farm4.static.flickr.com/3280/2940629883_8671eb2fd5_o.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="223" /></p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s devastating (for Lyons),&#8221; Brooks said. &#8220;You know what kind of personality he is and how much this all meant to him. He&#8217;s devastated, obviously. It&#8217;s a tough thing. It&#8217;s not how anybody envisioned that this would end for him at Kentucky.&#8221;</p>
<p>The loss of Lyons is a significant blow to the UK receiving corps, which lacks experience. Lyons is UK&#8217;s leading receiver with 33 catches for 264 yards. Randall Cobb, who has 11 catches, is second in catches among wide receivers.</p>
<p>Lyons ranks fifth in UK history in career receptions with 141, fourth in career receiving yards with 1,752 and is tied for third in school history with 18 career receiving touchdowns.</p>
<p>On the depth chart UK released today, Cobb – who also has played quarterback – replaces Lyons as a starter.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" title="Dicky Lyons Jr " src="https://i0.wp.com/farm4.static.flickr.com/3007/2940629779_46ee38f6b6_o.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="300" /></p>
<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s a lot of snaps and some catches to be made out there now that Dicky is missing,&#8221; Brooks said. &#8220;This is a great opportunity for our younger receivers. Somebody&#8217;s got to step up and fill the void.&#8221;</p>

(to bad that&#8217;s the tag line for another station in town <a href="http://www.wlky.com" target="_blank">WLKY 32</a> who I&#8217;m sure lead with the same shit!)</strong></span></h5>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<p><span class="vitstorybody"><span><strong></strong></span></span></p>
<h5 class="vitstorydate"><span class="vitstorydate"><strong>05:49 PM EDT on Monday, October 13, 2008</strong></span></h5>
<p><strong></strong> <span><strong><span class="vitstorybyline"> </span></strong></span> <span class="vitstorybody">(WHAS11) &#8211; A Louisville man is jailed, charged with torturing a family member&#8217;s dog. Authorities say it may not have been the first time he&#8217;s been accused of that type of behavior.</span></p>
<p>A spokeswoman at Metro Animal Control says its the first time she can remember in her 5-year history at the agency that someone&#8217;s been charged with sexually abusing an animal, but the person reporting the crime says the same man may have injured another of their pets.</p>
<p>What we can tell you for sure is that a 1-year-old cocker spaniel mix is recovering from serious injuries while the last person left alone with her faces a felony charge.</p>
<p>A warning to our viewers, some of what you are about to hear is extremely disturbing and might not be appropriate for children.</p>

<p>When Linda Bussey and other family members returned from a birthday party Sunday, Oreo, a black-and-white cocker spaniel mix she brought home from a flea market last year, was yelping.</p>
<div class="vitstoryimageleft" style="width:160px;"><img src="https://i0.wp.com/www.whas11.com/justposted/stories/M_IMAGE.11beb4b9125.93.88.fa.d0.10cbb30bc.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="160" height="210" /></p>
<p class="vitstoryimagecaption">Thomas Bussey</p>
</div>
<p>Thomas Bussey, 53, had been left alone in the apartment with Oreo. He is        Linda Bussey&#8217;s brother-in-law.</p>
<p>Thomas ran away after being confronted by the family, but family members later found him a short time later, tackled him and held him for police.</p>
<p>He&#8217;s now charged with felony torture of a dog.</p>
<p>Oreo is recovering from her wounds at the metro animal shelter.</p>
<p>We were not allowed to shoot video of her, since the case is under        investigation.</p>
<p>Police are now also looking into whether Thomas Bussey was involved in the death of a cat belonging to the same family last year after it received suspicious injuries.</p>
<p>If Bussey gets released from jail, he&#8217;ll not be welcome back at the apartment or anywhere near the family&#8217;s pets again.</p>
<p>Metro animal control says that Oreo must be spayed and get current on her shots before she can be released to her owners.</p>
<p>As for Bussey, he&#8217;s scheduled to have his first court appearance Tuesday        morning.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Mason Wyler" src="https://i0.wp.com/farm4.static.flickr.com/3061/2937648711_e5f33f6825.jpg" alt="" width="375" height="500" /></p>
<p>Story from <a href="http://www.gaywired.com" target="_blank">GayWired.com</a></p>
<p><span class="Article_Author">By Jonas Oliver</span> <span class="Article_DateStamp">| Article Date: 10/09/2008 3:04 PM</span></p>
<p>In a post on his blog, 24-year-old gay porn star <strong>Mason Wyler</strong> suggests that while he might be promiscuous, his claim that he was brutally beaten, gang-raped and held at gunpoint at his home in late September is completely true. The latest post at <a href="http://www.wylernation.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Wyler Nation</strong></a> from the prolific adult film performer was in response to suggestions and comments circulating around the web which posit that Wyler, who is known  in the adult film industry as a ‘power bottom,&#8217; concocted his story of sexual battery at the hands of 28-year-old army captain as a publicity stunt and that he willingly engaged in the abusive activities he claims to have been subjected to. <img class="alignright" title="mason2" src="https://i0.wp.com/farm3.static.flickr.com/2028/2937648301_da84758047_m.jpg" alt="" width="180" height="240" /></p>
<p>According to a statement Wyler gave to police at the end of September, he lost his wallet at a local bar and had it returned to him at his home by an army captain, who got extremely aggressive after Wyler was initially receptive to assailant’s advances.</p>
<p>In his original blog post, which was accompanied by photos of his injuries, Wyler alleges that the army captain demanded money from him for the return of the wallet, then punched him and kicked him before forcing him to strip off all his clothes and perform oral sex on him.</p>
<p>From there Wyler says he “was immobilized, gagged, and blindfolded with belts and duct tape” and sodomized repeatedly with a broom stick, anally and orally raped while being strangled with a power cord and forced to drink his assailant’s urine. Wyler also claims that the army captain injected GHB into his anus to subdue him and then invited other unknown assailants into his apartment to rape him.</p>

<p>By Wyler’s account, he escaped to a neighbor’s home eventually, called 911, reported his story to the police and was taken to Parkland Hospital in the Dallas Medical Center, where a sexual assault exam was performed and DNA collected which purportedly indicated the presence GHB in Wyler’s system and confirmed from semen samples taken from inside his rectum that there were at least three different assailants involved in the assault.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.gayvn.com/" target="_blank"><strong>GayVN.com</strong></a> has since confirmed that an incident report was filed with the Dallas Police Department in respect of the events Wyler  alleges, though the gay porn pup now admits to having modified certain aspects of the story he told on his blog to protect his privacy and that of his boyfriend with whom he is said to be in a committed relationship.</p>
<p>Wyler explains the discrepancies in his story on his latest blog entry entitled &#8220;Rape Reality Part 3: The Closing Statement&#8221; as follows:</p>
<p><em>I changed the police report for various and valid reasons. </em></p>
<p><em>First off, the police report available to me and to the public had all of my personal information withheld (Thank God) but not having my name on it didn&#8217;t help me disprove any of the rumors that this was just a grab for money or attention. So I photo shopped my name in. Obviously, it didn&#8217;t help and just proved the fact that I&#8217;m no good at photo shopping. </em></p>
<p><em>Secondly, the police report with my name on it and all the juicy details that some people just seem to need to see before they quit talking trash will not be available to me for another 10 business days. Thats right, I called them, told them it was a report I made to the police dealing with a crime against me, and they told me I had to pay a fee, fill out a form, and then they would have to me in 10 business days. Don&#8217;t believe me? Then call Police Public Records (214) 671 &#8211; 3345 and ask for yourself. Office hours from 9am to 6pm. </em></p>
<p><em>Thirdly, You damn clever homosexuals were correct in pointing out that the crime actually happened in Dallas not in Houston and that it happened a few weeks ago, not this past weekend. I changed those little details because I didn&#8217;t want the random public knowing where I was living (and the street that I live on), my actual case number, my legal name, or any other details that you need not know. Which I&#8217;m sure you sneaky bastards will now be able to figure out anyway now that someone has posted the actual public report. </em></p>
<p><em>Why did I want to cover up certain facts you might ask. Well I didn&#8217;t want people knowing that my boyfriend was involved, well more like he didn&#8217;t want people knowing. He had the reaction that most of you think I should of had. And I tried my best to appease him. </em></p>
<p>Wyler’s last comment about his boyfriend’s involvement in the incident was also mentioned in his interview with GayVN.com in which he further alleges that both he and his boyfriend were actually assaulted and held at gunpoint by the army captain.</p>
<p>Assault aside, Mason Wyler, who admits in his blog that &#8212; as abnormal as it may seem &#8212; he began having sexual urges just 24 hours after reporting being viciously attacked and sexually battered, apparently has no intention of giving up his porn career or finding a way to control his admittedly high sexual drive. In fact Wyler claims that the reason behind his honesty is his desire to continue doing what he loves.</p>
<p>“Honestly, I can&#8217;t believe I went through all this effort just to prove myself,” Wyler wrote on his blog. “But I love my job and I had to make sure that the studios I work with all know that I wasn&#8217;t lying about getting raped and that this wasn&#8217;t a publicity stunt gone awry.”</p>
