Let’s be honest, Larry King may have been a pioneer for cable news, but his best days are far, far, far behind him. Saying that his interviews were painful would be an understatement, and CNN is in need of a jolt. Joy Behar is not that jolt. And does anyone really see Ryan Seacrest grilling Heidi Montag, nevertheless a head of state?
You want ratings? You want amazing interviews? Give...

jesse--boy asked: I think they're just trying to parallel his story with that of Glambert in that, he's gay but not out officially. As in, the words have never come out of his mouth on public television. But all of these pictures of him kissing dudes, well...that about sums it up, really. It's news because he's in sports and all that malarky.

ray-ray:
The US Environmental Protection Agency today released peer reviewed results from the first round of its own independent toxicity testing on eight oil dispersants. EPA conducted testing to ensure that decisions about ongoing dispersant use in the Gulf of Mexico continue to be grounded in the best available science.
EPA’s results indicated that none of the eight dispersants tested,...

I can answer other questions too, but I was just making a suggestion on what to ask me.

squashed:
I made a fat-finger ticket purchase last Tuesday. I inadvertently bought a return train ticket for a lengthy train trip for the wrong week. It was not a cheap ticket—so just buying another one was going to really, really sting. So I called to see if they could change it. Having done this sort of thing with airlines, I expected an unpleasant experience, a lot of hold time, a few...

The entire thrust is ‘my opponents are dumb and so goddamn crazy’.

Lt. Dan Choi serves subpoena to Obama →
The gay soldiers arrested outside the White House protesting “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” will annouce today that they’re demanding that President Obama testify in their trial on minor civil disobedience charges. Their novel argument: Obama himself called on gay rights advocates to pressure him, so they were just following orders. “Don’t Ask” has...

catbus:
Shannen Coffin, a member of the DOJ under Bush who spearheaded the successful IDX ban’s court challenge, wrote an op-ed for the National Review about Kagan’s role in contributing to the American College of Obsetricians and Gynecologists’ statement opposing the IDX ban when it popped up the first time during the Clinton administration. There are a few problems with her thinking in general...

I just personally think that marriage should be between one man and one woman, provided that the woman has never sent video of herself masturbating to men whom she was formerly having sex with. Nonetheless, I think it’s great that we live in a land where Americans can choose between regular marriage or opposite marriage. Meaning a...

Well. It all made sense by the time I checked who the author was. I thought I was looking at a proponent of retrosexuality, but it was just C. Paglia, who probably is, anyway.

By appointing Petraeus last Wednesday, Obama took the easy way out of the crisis created by McChrystal’s shocking comments in Rolling Stone. It might not be inappropriate to quote that prescient British expert on Afghan policy, Peter Townsend, who said of the appointment: “Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.”
On the other hand, Petraeus is not simply another McChrystal. While McChrystal...
