I liked Leif Garrett and was so sorry to see him take a tumble. Poor Justin best listen.

Comfort, then, is not the priority if you stay at Holiday Inn Express, or so it seems to me. Although I do like Courtyard by Marriott...

Mario is gay for me, whenever we get together. Of course, he doesn't know that since we haven't yet gotten together.

My poor Oz! Once a valued member at Inter-Continental hotels, now a member of ...um, Holiday Inn? I thought you had moved your loyalty to Marriott? I just can't get past the 50's image of Holiday Inn...or was it the 60's?

I limited my question to the one issue of government issued ID. Hurdles, to me, are shorter hours for voting, intentionally creating long lines by understaffing certain precincts, and similar. I don't like hurdles. But proving that you are, in fact, the registered voter seems baseline rather than a hurdle. Now I agree with EXPAT that hurdles can be created to get such an ID, and there shouldn't be any. But a birth certificate is neeeded in several areas of life and everyone should have one. And I do agree that it should not be a difficult or expensive task to do so.

It's hard to know if this is just a gimmick to avoid hard time with hard guys or if he really wants to live the rest of his life as a woman. No one would care had he not disclosed all of the documents that he had.

What is so wrong with asking a person who shows up to vote to identify himself with some official form of ID?

Looks like fun!

I think his cock is just fine.

...or under!

Sorry, I just saw that EXPAT had already reported this news. It's hard to beat EXPAT when it comes to Hollywood news!

You need a cougar dancer!

I wish that he delineation of the forms was more strict,. Those who commented on this in the proper forum are now left out because the OP could not be bothered to post in the correct forum. Even management does this.

Andrew Sullivan didn't like this either! "A disclosure upfront: I have met David Miranda as part of a my friendship with Glenn Greenwald. The thought of his being detained by the British police for nine hours because his partner embarrassed the American government really sickens me at a gut level. I immediately think of my husband, Aaron, being detained in connection to work I have done – something that would horrify and frighten me. We should, of course, feel this empathy with people we have never known – but the realization is all the more gob-smacking when it comes so close to home. So of course my instinct is to see this exactly as Glenn has today... I have seen nothing anywhere that could even connect his spouse to such nefarious contacts. Unless Glenn is some kind of super-al-Qaeda mole, he has none to my knowledge and to suspect him of any is so close to unreasonable it qualifies as absurd. The idea that David may fomenting terrorism is even more ludicrous. In this respect, I can say this to David Cameron. Thank you for clearing the air on these matters of surveillance. You have now demonstrated beyond any reasonable doubt that these anti-terror provisions are capable of rank abuse. Unless some other facts emerge, there is really no difference in kind between you and Vladimir Putin. You have used police powers granted for anti-terrorism and deployed them to target and intimidate journalists deemed enemies of the state. You have proven that these laws can be hideously abused. Which means they must be repealed. You have broken the trust that enables any such legislation to survive in a democracy. By so doing, you have attacked British democracy itself. What on earth do you have to say for yourself? And were you, in any way, encouraged by the US administration to do such a thing?

I found this very troubling. The British, along with the US, are making a mockery of freedom and democracy. Obama is such a disappointment, caught in his own lies about NSA snooping. More and more I think Snowden did us a favor by revealing the information that he had. Today's detainment seems pure harassment. What will be next? There is a fascinating article in today's NY Times Magazine on Laura Poitras, Snowden, and Glen Greenwald: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/18/magazine/laura-poitras-snowden.html?ref=magazine

Well, I forget that you are a British subject, perhaps worried that your Queen endorsed a murder...hehe,, I am just kidding...

Today I went to see the movie The Spectacular Now, which has some good reviews. I hated it. The boy in it was selfish, but more importantly, he was a lush. His girl dumps him and he takes up with a nice girl, giving her her own engraved flask. It's all downhill from there. But I wondered if I would have liked the movie more if the actor was cuter. He plays a charming character, but I wasn't so charmed. Now we all know that cute guys have the advantage when it comes to being charming because we are so willing to be charmed with them. So this movie, I think, would have worked better if differently cast. That's my opinion. And your opinion? Is Miles Teller cute enough to charm you in a movie?

Oz, it's been a month without a report. I hiope all is well in the Land of Smiles- no more hospital visits, and many boys coming your way.

Speculation has long held that Princess Diana was murdered, and now the story is back in the news as a former soldier's estranged in-laws say he told them that British Special Forces working for MI6 killed her. The statement is being taken seriously by Scotland Yard, or at least it appears to be. The revelation comes as a new book on the topic hits the stores on August 29th.

I put a bad review of a doctor on Yelp, Insider Pages, and Yellow Pages. I am not sure of the name of the second site, so I only think Insider Pages. In short, the review disappeared from two sites and was replaced by a big ad for the doctor. Only Yelp stuck with me and did not remove the review. That Yelp must be important is shown in the fact that the doctor then offered me a sum of money to remove the complaint from Yelp.

He's a young kid whose parents seem to have taken the money and run, leaving him without anyone to discipline him. I hope he turns it around before it's too late.

I like YELP and have had good luck with it.

I think the defense has carefully managed this information with slow leaks here and there so as not to prejudice him in the eyes of Ameicans who thought he did the right thing. But he is going to jail, and we can only hope that he will be safe. Given the tough treatment he had already, he may be tougher than we think.

Apparently so, RA1. Without suitable numbers of workers in production, the aging population cannot sustain itself. I am no economist, but the entire Euro population needs German production to stiulate their own growth. Germans killed 6 million Jews, and now there are not enough Germans. Odd, isn't it?
