Continuing on the theme of judges, here's a judge who only needed ONE defense attorney: 09-29) 18:08 PDT Harrisburg, Pa. (AP) -- Police said a district judge from Intercourse, Pa., hid condoms inside acorns and handed them out to women in the state Capitol complex last week. A summary charge of disorderly conduct was filed Tuesday against Isaac H. Stoltzfus, who presides over low-level cases as a district judge in Lancaster County. The citation from Capitol Police said the 58-year-old jurist gave the acorns to unsuspecting women, who were offended when they discovered the contents. Stoltzfus' office referred questions to defense attorney Heidi Eakin, who didn't immediately return a phone message Wednesday.

And, in related judicial news, a man turning himself in for a warrant tried to help out the cops who were going to strip search him, but they didn't think it was very nice of him: MONROE, Mich. -- A 43-year-old man bared more than the truth while trying to surrender on an outstanding warrant in Michigan. The Monroe Evening News reported that the man was arrested after taking off all his clothing Sunday afternoon in the lobby of the Monroe County sheriff's office, about 35 miles southwest of Detroit. Authorities said the man told a records clerk in the building about his warrant. He walked away as she looked up the paperwork, then returned naked. By the time Monroe city police arrived, the man had his clothing back on. He was taken to a local hospital for psychiatric evaluation.

Jack Camp had his favorite sex partner- a stripper who took care of his pole just the way he liked it. And, to make sure, he brought her cocaine and other drugs. Once, when they went out to replenish their drug supply, she said she was a little worried for her safety, but he comforted her by telling her that he was packing a gun. Problem. No, not the hooker, the drugs, or even the gun. Jack Camp is a highly respected federal judge. Married, too, but we all make out own choices, right? All the local judges had to recuse themselves from the case, leading the taxpayers to have to fly in several staff to prosecute and judge the poor man. Well, maybe not so poor. He showed up in court with not one, not two, not three, but FOUR defense attorneys! I guess the moral of the story is that men need sex, no matter the age, the occupation, the marital status. And damned if I haven't met a few guys I'd gladly do even if they needed a little help from their friends. So, there, but for the grace of President Reagan, go I!!! http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/10/04/AR2010100405548.html?hpid=moreheadlines

Well, of course it is about the bars in Thailand! Doesn't Oz have the inside story of how to get to know all the guys behind the scenes?

O Oz, do THE CLUBS AND BARS HAVE PARTIES TO INVITE THE BOYS THEY WANT FOR THE SEASON? CAN ONE GET INVTTIED TO THESE?

I'll try it from another source: I'm not allowed to post it but I am allowed to attach it. Lawyers!

PHOTO CENSORED The Indian art of mallakhamb should get you fit in no time. I'd like the guy on the pole there to give me personal lessons.

Huh. I found this guy pretty unappealing.

Well damned if I am not going out to buy some of those clothes immediately!

I forgot my razor for my trip- too bad since I have so many of them. But I bought the new Gillette Fusion ProGlide Power razor, which comes with one cartridge for ten dollars. Extra blades are $4.00 a piece at Wal-mart. Okay, it does give a good shave, better than the various other improvements, but even still, does not leave my face baby smooth. Even if it did, time would fix that in a few hours. So why? Why do blades keep getting more expensive? The cheap plastic Bic type blades leave my face covered in blood. I don't know about this 11 cent one mentioned here. I have taken to shaving every other day. Here's more on the subject: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704699604575343210255777650.html?KEYWORDS=razor+blades

Thanks for the replies; I am back home, but mom is still there. She slept through most of our last hours together. I find nursing homes immensely depressing, yet the staff keeps good morale and a clean facility. Speaking with my mom's doc, I could not have asked for more. So we do the best we can, yet I sure hope somehow I am spared the indignity of living too long....however long that is! We mourn our friends who die too soon, so really, I do not know the answer any more than anyone else.

Yes, the time has come for me to go to the nursing home. Having become forgetful as time went on, I finally remembered that that is where my mom is. I am sitting here is a Priceline bought hotel in Michigan, where I am visiting my almost 93 year old mom in a nursing home. She was quite happy to see me, and proud for all the other ladies to take notice of her visitor. That's the easy part. The tough part is spending several hours a day with a person that doesn't have a real grasp of reality. On a previous visit with her, she slept a lot, but not now. Now she talks, endlessly, and about things I have no idea of. I don't what time frame of her life she is in in the particular moment, so answering the questions often provokes wonderment on her part as to how I could have possibly given that answer. Further, she has no idea where she is and wonders why there are other people in her room. But the officer is coming and he will straighten it out...of course, there is no officer. At times she does make sense. A lifetime devout Catholic, she now refers to some doubt, and acknowledges the doubt that her children developed. Her solution to that is the wonderment that it was her faith that brought her her family, which is now her greatest possession and comfort. Can't argue with that. So I feed her, entertain the other ladies, many of whom are sullen and quiet. The staff, thankfully, seems to have high morale and a world of patience. But mine finally wore out as I snuck out to see a movie. I had to get away! But today, back again, then to say goodbye and head back to my own home. I know that so many of you have already gone through this experience, so you know what it is like. A mix of pleasure and pain, for sure. (Yes, I adapted this from the Yankee thread that not many were reading!)

You can pop 'em and poop them, but the best choice is to dump them. That's what I should have done with that bag of cheap licorice I just finished.

Thanks, MsGuy. The Yankees have really put their fans through the wringer these past few weeks,so finally getting a wild card berth is some relief. Now they have to get out of their slump and prove themselves to be true world champions.

Apparently it pays to fight a foreclosure as the paperwork is too often not correct. Here's a very long, but good, look at the problem: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/09/28/AR2010092806523.html?hpid=topnews

I think the dish on Oz is probably in the Thai-ing The Knot thread!

We'll know the outcome in November. I am supporting the gay guy since I know how few gay judges they have in SF.

...and, speaking of newspapers, can you imagine that this article made the Wall Street Journal? It's about how naked a designer gets for an ad: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704654004575518303935207266.html

The NY Times reports on the thousands of western men marrying Thai women, and some of their curious reasons for doing so: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/25/world/asia/25iht-thai.html?src=me&ref=world

Surely we wouldn't want to miss out on pix like this one from kennethinthe212.com!

So take your pic. Want to read about cops busting gays in Beijing?

(Hey, allegedly referring to them as faggots. We're fair here.) http://www.mydesert.com/article/20100928/NEWS01/9280304/Complaint-Palm-Springs-police-Chief-David-Dominguez-used-expletive

Nowadays many online newspapers allow the reader to comment on the article. It is a rather worthless endeavor on the larger papers, because who is going to read through 400 and some comments to see yours? But some actually rank the comments according to "most popular" so you at least get the gist of them. So guess what? I comment...a lot. I love to see people respond to what I say, and maybe get a rise out of a diehard conservative. Today the SFgate.com has an article on a gay lawyer running against an incumbent judge. It seems the incumbent wants to speak at the gay community center, but some nitwit said that was a bad idea given that he was opposing a gay man. Turns out the incumbent will be trotting out his lesbian sister from Iowa or Idaho for the occasion. But the columnist wants to make the candidate look bad for the nitwit's comment. What would you have said? (BTW- the gay lawyer running is author Michael Nava, who has written a series of gay detective novels, and is widely respected as a writer of many appellate court opinions as well. Don't be thinking that being gay in San Francisco is automatically gonna get you elected either. Those quys know how to eat their own.)

I entered the word I read here- potched- and all Google would give was poached.

Let's hope we don't have Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina overseeing anything come January. Whitman thinks if she just bids high enough, she can win. Fiorina is a failed executive at a big corporation, why does she think she can run a state?

And then just how are we to mark the spot?
