Last time anyone bothered to check, he was in St. Peter's Basilica in the floor in front of the monument to Pope Clement X. His nephew, Julius II, keeps him company. Sic transit gloria mundi.

LOL

Mother OZ seems to know how to clarify things fast too.

A gay boomer who's never tried poppers? TY, you're a rara avis. Have you considered willing your carcass to the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History? They could put you on display next to the Ivory Billed Woodpecker exhibit.

When the mainspring's broken the clock won't tick. The Fed can wind the key for all it's worth but the clock ain't gonna tick. The mainspring of the American economy is consumer spending. For prudent, entirely rational reasons (& for the first time in my adult life), consumers collectily seem to be seriously bent on reducing personal leverage. That means spending less, saving more and paying off debt. In an economy with a low "level of resource utilization" that's a powerful deflationary force. What remedies does Krugman propose? 1) Lower interest rates. The Federal Reserve discount rate has been at 1/4 of one percent for quite a while. Lower it to zero? Big whoop. 2) Print more money. Having the Fed purchase "more long term and private debt" is nothing more (or less) than the modern method of running the printing presses overtime. Yeah, that injects more cash into consumers's hands. Problem is that until consumers have reduced leverage to a level that they're confortable with, they just absorb the cash and use it to reduce debt and increase savings. On top of the trillion dollar budget stimulus the Fed has already printed well in excess of a trillion dollars worth of cash and dumped it into the economy. Might not hurt but don't expect miracles. 3) Have Freddie Mae & Freddie Mac "engineer mortage refinancing" to put more money into consumer hands. And exactly how do we go about pursuading debt adverse consumers to borrow more money? Just silly. 4) Force China to revalue its currency. How? Get into a trade war with China? Yeah, that's the ticket! Just what we need to reflate the economy. 5) Tell the truth. Well, that's always good advice to Washington, but what if the truth is that this ain't your father's recession? What if the truth is the world's governments basically shot their wad last year with budget stimulis and that cupboard is now bare. In my lifetime recessions were one of two types: High interest rate recessions engineered by the Fed to clamp down on inflation; recessions occasioned by an inability of consumers to borrow enough to finance their inclination to spend. If the current inclination of consumers is to save rather than spend, the conventional tools the Gov. uses to perk things up won't work that well. It's all well and good to shout "DO SOMETHING!" The question is what to do. I don't know & I'm worried. And, of course, that makes me part of the problem cause I'm trying to build up my savings a little more.

Headaches. And possibly sudden death from catastrophic drop in blood pressure if you're also on E.D. meds. That warning on the insert is there for a good reason. Others say there ain't nothing like sex w/poppers. I don't get it but different strokes, etc. Just don't use with Viagra, Cialis or the like. PS, as for as I can determine all that stuff about poppers causing/contributing to AIDS is just straight people being stupid.

Poor Carrot Top also seems to be slipping into Leona Helmsley territory.

Suspect comments/questions scarce because you did a pretty good job of explaining the new feature. Thanks, TY. ---- I would have posted a screen shot of the self-sucking twink but didn't have necessary technical expertise. I did google screen capture, saw that Explorer 8 has something called a snip tool and am wondering if that would do the trick. If so, is snip tool simple enough for me to figure out how to use it? [bear in mind that I'm the guy that took 2 months to figure out how to post a working link. ] Or is there a better (read simpler) technique I should use. Oh, and where does snip tool hide in Windows? I can't even find it. I know, I know, what can I say, I the complete computer klutz. Any advice/assistance (even "give it up; it's too difficult") appreciated.

Last night, one cute twink managed to both slide an 18 inch dildo up his butt and suck the head of his dick. Sorry, but I can't comment on the video quality. I was too distracted to notice.

If it does, I hope you're properly prepared.

Interesting proposal. First cloture rule I've seen that respects both the traditional Senate filabuster and the the need for a majority to be able to govern.

Somehow that poem leaves me with cold chills down my spine and a sick feeling in my stomach. Kinda like a mouse must feel being stared down by a cobra. Requiem of sorts for Western Civilization, I think. ---- AS was kind enough to make an effort to educate me in the mysteries of Wallace Stevens last summer. Alas, I was left as baffled as ever. When confronted by obscure metaphors packed 3 deep into elusive similes packed into a poetic conceit I missed in the first place, my brain just packs its bag and checks out of the hotel.

So you think it will be a while before the Cuban government is selling permits to piss on Fidel's grave?

Last night one viewer was pleading "Rich Guys please send more credits."

With any luck at all, I'll be gone, dead & buried before we get that far into the Singularity. That's one particular dystopia I'm not ready to dive into.

I'm having the same problem, TY. Started sometime last night. IE here, too.

How did I miss that first time around? Belated happy birthday, Lucky, and many happy returns.

Cheer up, TY. A few birth pangs are to be expected: Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the center cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. Surely some revelation is at hand; Surely the Second Coming is at hand. The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert A shape with lion body and the head of a man, A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun, Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds. The darkness drops again; but now I know That twenty centuries of stony sleep Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle, And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born? ---- See, AS, and you thought I'd never learn how to quote poetry. HA!

"...House Majority leader John Boehner's (R-Ohio)..." Typo, Freudian slip or Inauspicious Omen?

If it's a case of roommates with benefits, that would pretty well offset the cost of an apartment. And M-F you wouldn't have to taxi down to the saunas to find someone to rest up with.

What Conway said! Wonder why Male Nation killed the porn clips?

And post more pretty pictures! Don't forget that. More video's of cute twinks getting it on would be good too! :-)___ (drool)

Ty, work your connections & show him a list of the gay marines the old dear has already bunked with; you could retire in style on what he squeezes out.

Please, please don't use MER to open a new front for the Ben Wars. Pretty please. Pretty please with sugar on it.

I've watched FFF occasionally since TY pointed out that sometimes the flirting got hot. A couple of days ago one poster stated that he would be back for a private Friday and that he had asked the site to inform him by email the time of this particular guy's Friday appearance. Maybe the poster was just blowing smoke, but, if the site actually has that capability, that would be a way to make sure the guy you want to see is online.
