Satirical pieces like The Onion, Hito.

Nothing makes me feel better than to whip up a couple of loaves of my buttermillk, banana walnut bread. But afterward, I I get s0 D-E-P-R-E-S-S-E-D!!! It doesn't help that it tastes so good that I polish off a whole loaf, hot out of the oven slathered with cream cheese. Bad, bad boy.

Not sure about what is going to happen with Clube 117 but Monik, formerly Monique, is one smart ex-whore. She was able to use/work her body into quite the empire. Something, most likely, every Carioca sex worker can ony dream of. I was chatting with another Thiago(I think?) last night, been there for about 18months, a darkish blond, three-quarters Portuguese/German, one-eighth from Ceara, and one-eight Baiano - so he has the long and thick equipment but very white, he lives in Meier and he is using his earning and daytime to invest and buildout a pizzeria in Meier near the center of the neighborhood. Rua Dias de Cruz. Lower level of expectation. And now back to Monik, if the increases in entry fees continues to curtail business, well come spring, she'll think of something. As to Pointe 202, I haven't been since Janaury 2007, to far away for me when the other two are so much easier to get to. For Meio Mundo, The last two Fridays and this past Monday were quite wonderful. not sure at all how they are faring on the other days. But in many ways, the boys are better at Meio Mundo. Not jaded, More natural. Less affected. Certainly not the S&M, stand and model muscle boys at think they are worth more than the boys at Meio Mundo. And the owners finally got new cushions for some of the benches. They have done some redecorating. They have opened the 4th floor disco - still no clue what that is all about. It seems as they have kind of given Vinicius the run of the place, which is a great thing. They have a wonderful towel man now and a bartender who can melt a glacier he is so gorgeous. Now If they can just spring for some new sofas.

It's like "Celebrity Apprentice" but instead for fatties?

At least not in immigration limbo with Edward Snowden and Carmen San Diego.

Well, I had three fingers in his ass. Like what did I want? I went to Clube 117. Didn't make a special trip as I had some afternoon business in Lapa that was over at just after 4PM. Got to the sauna at 4:45PM. I cannot begin to explain how empty it was fora Tuesday. The new entry fees started and now are 20Reais for the boys. In the 3 plus hours that I was there, I saw maybe 4 or 5 that took a stroll through the sauna, looking for possible clients while deciding whether to get a locker and get changed. And of course, pay the increased fee to.....err, market their wares. I had a, to the dot, thirty minute programa with a Kauan from Niteroi. We had talked before, even exchange numbers and e-mails, but never connected. 5PM-5:30PM. Lighter-skinned, tightly shaved down, muscular without overly-developed wings, biceps or delts. Ativo liberal and when I got on top of him and quickly flipped him over before he could react, and then slid myself between his butt cheeks, he was not a happy camper. Not happy at all. Couldn't take the joke. Obviously Sat outside and waited to see who might arrive. No one did really. Had a bottle of water and a package of mixed nuts. Not the man-type. But edible just the same. Now about 7PM. Thinking about leaving. Maybe grabbing something outside of the sauna to eat before treking home. Decided to check out the old bar downstairs. Now a very nice, relaxing, dimly-lit TV room. Flor do Caribe with one of my faves, Grazielli Massafera, on the TV and two rapazes/garotos/boys eating a snack on the round bed in the center of the room with a few throw pillow for comfort and relaxation. We started to chat and after they finished consuming some calories for an energy boost, they began to chat me up and then started to consume me. I knew one from before at Meio Mundo. Nice body, not so greatly talented sexually, dick lacking in size. Other one I had never been with. At first the subject of a three-way was broached and my response was I liked to concentrate on one guy. So the other took the hint and took off. The two of us got very involved on that round sofa. I am surprise that neither of the towel guys downstairs who also clean the lower-level suites told us to take it to a room. During the middle of doing practically everything, Thiago, yes another Thiago - the place is lousy with Thaigo's, Diego's and Diog's - unless they are named Fernando it seems - sometimes Marcelo as well - he whispers in my ear - O que voce quiser - What do you want? . Now you have to realize that at this point, out in the open, we have been making out and he sucking each other off, which is pretty much against Monik's rules. O que voce quisir? I have three of my fingers in your ass. Really WTF moment. Surprised me to no end. My response was, Tenho tres dedos no seu cuzinho. O que voce acha? or I have three fingers inside your little asshole. What do you think? Defintely a memoralbe moment for my memory banks..Or what is left of them at my age. And like we had already agreed on a price. There was no doubt that I was going to take him to a suite, slap on a rubber and have some further fun with him. I just wanted to extend the shortened 30 minutes in a suite on Tuesdays with some extended foreplay and I have to admit that the round couch was much better than chatting in the back bar or one of the saunas.

It is always so sad to see racism rearing its ugly head. I know Paula Deen can't help, stujpid is as stupid does and she does it so well with the smile. I think we all thought she was smarter than she was. Kind of like Marta admitting to scissor-sex and three-ways on WWHL. In North Carolina, voting procedure changes loom GOP leaders are looking to pass a voter ID law and to end provisions popular with black voters after a high court ruling, moves that could affect black voting. June 29, 2013, 10:20 p.m. DURHAM, N.C. — To Allison Riggs, a voting rights lawyer, North Carolina's 1st Congressional District looks like an octopus with its arms stretched menacingly in all directions. Each arm, Riggs says, sucks in black voters to pack them into the district and dilutes their voting strength in nearby districts — "a cynical strategy to disenfranchise blacks." With Republicans adding the governor's mansion last fall to their control, on top of the North Carolina Legislature, Riggs and other civil rights activists have counted on protections of the 1965 Voting Rights Act to prevent GOP geographical empire-building through redistricting. Nine states and parts of six others, including 40 of North Carolina's 100 counties, were covered by a provision of the legislation that required federal approval of any changes in election laws. But a U.S. Supreme Court decision Tuesday gutted the law, striking down the so-called preclearance provisions, and Republican leaders here already are revving up to push through voting procedure changes. The GOP chairman of the state Senate rules committee, Sen. Tom Apodaca, said he would move quickly to pass a voter ID law that Republicans say would bolster the integrity of the balloting process. GOP leaders also began engineering an end to the state's early voting, Sunday voting and same-day registration provisions, all popular with black voters. Civil rights groups say the moves are designed to restrict poll access by blacks, who vote reliably Democratic. The moves are only the first indication that the ruling will have "a demonstrably negative impact on voters of color," said Riggs, staff attorney with the Southern Coalition for Social Justice. The group already has a 2-year-old lawsuit pending that alleges racial discrimination in the 1st District and three dozen other North Carolina districts redrawn by Republicans. Apodaca said the previous requirements for federal preclearance caused "legal headaches" in passing such measures as voter ID in response to legitimate concerns over voter fraud. It's time, he told reporters, to bring the Voting Rights Act "into this century, not the last century." North Carolina NAACP President William J. Barber II, who has seen generations of black candidates elected thanks to the landmark civil rights-era law, objected to Apodaca's dismissal of federal protections that had become part of the civil rights fabric of the South. "He refers to a law to undo 250 years of slavery and another 100 years or more of Jim Crow … as a headache," Barber said. Rosanell Eaton, 92, remembers the humiliation for blacks who sought to cast ballots in North Carolina before the Voting Rights Act. In 1939, she said, she hitched a mule to a wagon and rode to the courthouse in Franklin County, N.C., to register. Three white men, probably illiterate, demanded that she recite the preamble to the U.S. Constitution. Eaton, the valedictorian at her rural high school, recited the preamble word for word. "They were so ignorant they didn't know if I said it right or not — but they registered me," she said. Last week's Supreme Court decision "starts taking us right back to the old days," she said. "Now it's easier for these Republicans to do anything they want to us, without the controls we had." The Voting Rights Act changed the South by expanding black voting and black officeholders. In 1965, the 11 Southern states of the Confederacy had three black state legislators. By 2009, the number was 321 of 628 nationwide, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Source: U.S. Department of Justice Graphic by Doug Stevens Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. in his opinion last week noted that black voter registration in Mississippi was 6.4% in 1965, versus 7% today. But preclearance, he wrote, was "based on 40-year-old facts having no logical relationship to the present day." The reverberations of the ruling already are being felt across the country. In Texas, the state attorney general said a voter ID law, held up by court challenges under the Voting Rights Act, will now be implemented. In Alaska, a state covered by the preclearance provision because of past discrimination against Alaska Natives, Republicans said a proposed voter ID law and redistricting efforts could now proceed more easily. North Carolina's 1st District, where Eaton voted before her neighborhood was moved in 2011 into a redrawn district won by a Republican, has elected black candidates since 1991. U.S. Rep. G.K. Butterfield, an African American who has represented the district since 2004, said he would not have been elected without the Voting Rights Act because of "racially polarized voting — a significant number of white voters refuse to vote for any African American candidate," he said. The lawsuit filed by Riggs' coalition accuses Republicans of "racial gerrymandering" by packing blacks into the 1st District and other similarly concentrated districts to "segregate those voters and to reduce their proven ability to form cross-racial coalitions." In 2012, Democratic congressional candidates won 51% of the vote in North Carolina, but Republicans won nine of 13 U.S. House seats. (Democrats of course, did their own gerrymandering when they held power. In the 1990s, courts in North Carolina prohibited "racial gerrymandering" by Democrats who created largely black districts to facilitate the election of black candidates.) Butterfield said Republicans carved out black enclaves in three counties within his district in 2011, but shifted the rest of the counties to adjacent districts "that became more white, more conservative and more Republican." Without federal preclearance, he said, "people who want to engage in mischief now have a free hand to do it." The 1st District is now "an absurd shape, skinny and spindly," Riggs said. It stretches for 7,200 square miles from the Inner Banks coastal lowlands to downtown Durham and Duke University in the center of the state. Much of the district lies in the soybean and tobacco farms of rural eastern North Carolina, but slender tentacles stretch to capture blacks concentrated in midsized cities. The district is 51% black and 44% white. Pitt County in eastern North Carolina has also been a battleground. The Southern Coalition for Social Justice recently persuaded the Justice Department to block a state law that would in effect cut black representation from three seats to two on the county school board. Since then, the state Legislature has introduced another proposal that would also cost one black seat on the board. With the Supreme Court decision, "it will be much more difficult, if not impossible, to obtain a remedy under the Voting Rights Act," Riggs said. The new moves by state officials to adopt ID requirements and other changes in the voting laws can have a critical impact on black voting strength, civil rights leaders say. Blacks represented 22% of North Carolina's registered voters in 2012 but accounted for 34% of voters without a driver's license or state-issued ID this year, according to Democracy North Carolina, a liberal advocacy group. The group says blacks in 2012 made up 29% of early voters and 34% of same-day registration voters. Since taking control in North Carolina, Republicans have passed or proposed legislation that Democrats say discriminates against minorities. This month, Republicans repealed the Racial Justice Act, passed by a Democratic Legislature and governor. The act allowed death row inmates to be re-sentenced to life in prison without parole if they proved racial discrimination in jury selection or sentencing. Neither Sen. Apodaca nor the North Carolina Republican Party responded to requests for comment. Susan Myrick, a policy analyst with the Civitas Institute, a conservative think tank in Raleigh, said the court was correct in eliminating the preclearance section. She said it forced local officials to "go hat in hand in Washington, begging for permission" when they needed to change something as simple as moving a polling place or revising a ballot. "Its time was over," she said.

Correa's making nice to the US of A as they have threatened to no cancel the 6% tax on their flower exports to the US. Something on the order of 250millionUS is what I read. Is Edward's tool that valuable? Or even as a tool? Hito, You have first dibs on Eddie's tool or going to let Correa have at it?

Mama always said, "stupid is as stupid does." Now was she talkin'bout Fox News or maybe it was Sarah Palin. Er, or just all those crazy conservatives in general.

Down here, the country is basically closing down for the match - Selecao Brasileira vs. La Furia Roja. Beforehand, they are having some of the best of Brasilian music for the closing ceremonies. Anytime you can here Ivete Santgalo, the drum corps of Grande Rio and Jorge Ben Tor, like Martha says, "ït's a good thing! Turn on the tube and maybe your cable package will have the musical performance as well as the game. Besides my favorites on the Spanish side of Pique, Iker and Busquets, take a gander at the new young twinky subbing for Brasil - Oscar - pronounced oh-SKAHR. I'm not sure which photo I like the best, Tongue out ready for ??? or sitting on that football and wishing it were my face? If you have tickets for the Maracana this Sunday, then make sure you get there early. As part of the build-up to the final of the FIFA Confederations Cup Brazil 2013 between the hosts and Spain – a match featuring some of the greatest names in world football – the legends of Brazilian popular music will get the fans on their feet in the tournament’s closing ceremony, which starts at 17:25. Under the slogan All In One Rhythm™, the show will feature samba star Arlindo Cruz, sertanejo duo Victor & Leo, axé singer Ivete Sangalo and MPB’s very own Jorge Ben Jor, with the drum group GRES Acadêmicos do Grande Rio also putting in an appearance. The closing ceremony will last 18 minutes and will showcase the joie de vivre of the Brazilian people and the power of football to bring people together. To help them get the message across, the performers will have the support of 1,250 volunteers, selected from 7,011 candidates. The doors to the stadium will open at 15:00 on Sunday, an hour earlier than at the two other games held at the Maracana, with the final kicking off at 19:00. The local authorities have urged fans to use public transport to get to the stadium. Supporters with tickets for the big final between Brazil and Spain can travel free of charge on the metro and rail network. Additional bus services will also be laid on, while the streets around the stadium will be closed and parking prohibited in the area to allow fans to move around easily.

Hito, In the US, Edward would disappear into the Polish archipelago and never be heard from again. He looks exactly like a blonder version of my ex-Paulista lover. Send him my way and I'll turn him into the bottom boy he has always yearned to be. IHPGuy

.....and chile', don't ya thinka fagettin' the purple rinse.

Hey Hito, The Novotel Sherereallyshityevo seems to be at least a touch better than Marine Base Quantico. I expect that there is no t-room action in the brig at Marine Base Quantico. And at least at the Sherereallyshityevo you might have a chance to orally pleasure the room service waiter. Who knows? Edward might even meet himself a Boris who will court him with ice vodka, caviar and a sable coat. I just know his hiney is begging for attention.

Sadly neither blinis nor borscht mentioned. I'd be SOOL.

Wow. Just Wow. It was a great surprise to end up at Meio Mundo last night. After the not-great Tuesday at 117 this week, I wasn't planning to leave the house yesterday. But I have some fears with what my happen on Monday and the general strike. I have some bills that need to be paid on the first of the month and didn't want to run the risk of problems drawing money/saques out of an ATM. So I figured what the hell. Got my business done with no problems. The banks are all still boarded up with pink - so gay - plywood. But they are all still open. It just looks like you are entering a construction site in order to conduct business. Everything else seemed normal. No protests that I could see. Got to Meio Mundo and I was so happy that I hadn't missed their Festa Junina after all. It was last night and the place was festively decorated. Large cloth with the word ARRAIAL or thatched tent, country music, naked boys square dancing with their cocks and balls flopping around. So many of my favorites were there, it was like choosing from five finalists for Miss America/USA or whatever. If I was TomCal, it definitely would have been me as the main course among five hungry men invited to the Feast of the June Gringo. They had a kissing booth set up. Also, a huge selection of sweets, chocolates and cakes in a buffet. An enormous scrim behind the stage of a Romero Britto artwork with the colorblocks. But these colorblocks were in country-style prints. Loved it. And the new bartender is spectacular. Quite, quite pretty with a great smile and interesting to find out on a return visit if he is hiring out outside of sauna hours. The toalhiero/towel guy - too old to be a boy, was doing a great job and surprisingly keeping up with all of the customers. And there were so many tht they resorted to using the old locker area which is in that wide corridor. I still haven't made it up to the fourth floor disco area and discover exactly how it functions. Both Jorge and Acyr were there last night. Out on the floor, shaking hands, talking with the clients, making nice and doignthe kind of stuff that decent business owners should be doing when conducting business. All great! And I had an incredible programma with Emerson/Marcello from many years ago. I saw in in 2005-2006, before I had my Paulista live-in lover, I forgot how good he was. Just incredible. Ativo liberal. When I first saw him downstairs he was a little flaccid and I thought my memory was playing tricks. I remembered him as having an enormously large and than penis. But upstairs in the bar another favorite of mine was sitting on my other side kind of in competition with him, to see who I would choose. And Marcello wasn't close in the size department. But upstairs it just kept on growing and growing and growing. Longer and thicker. He is not so bulked up as when he did some porn films. He told me with age, he is doing a lot more bike riding every morning. He has to keep the circulation up to keep the blood flowing. That monster needs a lot of blood to grow to full mast. Needless to say it was definitely a top three session for the year. Emerson/Marcello - true name - used to have a review at the other site, but it is no longer there. Next time I see him, I'll be sure to take a photo or three. Here is something from Wikipedia about this very unusual celebration. Festa Junina (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈfɛstɐ ʒuˈnĩnɐ], June Festival), also known as festa de São João for their part in celebrating the nativity of St. John the Baptist, are the annual Brazilian celebrations historically related to European Midsummer that take place in the beginning of the Brazilian winter. These festivities, which were introduced by the Portuguese during the colonial period (1500-1822), are celebrated during the month of June nationwide both in Brazil and Portugal, but are particularly associated with Northeastern Brazil. The feast is mainly celebrated on the eves of the Catholic solemnities of Saint Anthony, Saint John the Baptist, and Saint Peter. As Northeastern Brazil is largely arid or semi-arid these popular festivals not only coincide with the end of the rainy seasons of most states in the northeast but they also provide the people with an opportunity to give thanks to Saint John for the rain. They also celebrate rural life and feature typical clothing, food, dance (particularly quadrilha, which is similar to square dancing). Like Midsummer and Saint John's Day in Portugal and Scandinavian countries, São João celebrates marital union. The "quadrilha" features couple formations around a mock wedding whose bride and groom are the central attraction of the dancing. An arraial in Rio Branco, Acre The celebrations usually take place in an arraial, a huge tent made of raw material (with a thatched roof) that was reserved for special parties in old rural areas. Men dress up as farm boys with large straw hats and women wear pigtails, freckles, painted gap teeth and red-checkered dresses, all in a loving tribute to the origins of Brazilian country music, and of themselves, some of whom are recent immigrants from the countryside to cities such as Olinda, Recife, Maceió and Salvador, and some of whom return to the rural areas during that season to visit family. However, nowadays, São João festivities are extremely popular in all urban areas and among all social classes. In the Northeast, they are as popular as Carnival. Like during Carnival, these festivities involve costume-wearing (in this case, peasant costumes), dancing, drinking, and visual spectacles (fireworks display and folk dancing). Like the original European Midsummer celebrations, during the two-week June festivities in Brazil, bonfires are lit. They can be seen everywhere in northeastern cities. Two northeastern towns in particular have competed with each other for the title of "Biggest São João Festival in the World", namely Caruaru (in the state of Pernambuco), and Campina Grande,in Paraíba state. In fact, Caruaru features in the Guinness Book of World Records for holding the biggest outdoor country festival.

Incredibly exciting match today in the second semifinal. The Squadra Azzurii of Italy and the hunkies of La Furia Roja of Spain played the first 45 minutes to a scoreless tie. In the second forty-five, the Azzuri and Furia Roja did it again with a nil-nil score as time expired. For the 15 minutes overtime, again scoreless. Great defense by the Sky Blues and not much furry from the hotties in red and gold. Guess what, nothing doing in the second 15 minute OT. Now to 5 penalty kicks per side. one of my favorites, Iker Casillas, the Spanish goalie stopped them all, but so do Buffone for the Italian Blues. On the seventh kick, the Italy missed and Spain kicked it in to advance to Sunday's final at the Maracana. Jordi Alba of Spain

You do know that Edward Snowden has the answer.

What was spectacular? Incredible? Like nothing else? While posting on another thread in the politics forum, why would Edward Snowden fly from Hong Kong to Moscow, my thoughts turned to Russian edibles - of course, caviar blinis and frozen vodka - my mind then leaped to one of the best meals of my life, about 30 years ago in St, Moritz, Switzerland, at the La Marmite Restaurant for lunch, on the Corviglia, stopping for a luncheon during a beautiful day on the slopes with caviar blinis, gravlax with horseradish sauce and dill, and of course, some frozen vodkas.

He was tired of all of the twice-cooked pork in Hong Kong and had one of those WTF moments. Nothing at the moment sounded better than some caviar blinis and frozen vodka. Quite a splendid combination. Yum! Yum!

And I just read that he now also being investigated for a double-homicide as well. Bail was denied.

What Nino wrote was just hateful Retirement cannot come soon enough. Even sadder is that after 20 wasted years, Clarence is still a relative youngster of 65. Sad to think that he might be at SCOTUS into his 80's

This story about Aaron Hernandez is so sad. Rang true for me a bit as like his Dad I had problems post-hernia surgery. Mine didn't kill me but losing your father at a young age can be so tough and hard to handle. Then given a contract extension for 40 million bucks over 5 years and then to throw it all away. Wow! http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1685469-complete-timeline-of-the-rise-fall-of-aaron-hernandez?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=nfl

She lost all relevance for me when she became the paid shill for the diabetes drug. On another note, I ate at the Lady and Son in Savannah in about 1998. It was good southern country food, Not great, but good. Nothing to build a career on in my mind. I will admit that the restaurant's steam table fried chicken, when eaten right out of the fryer were good, But it is that way anywhere if they are going to use a skillet. I suppose I had higher expectations. I have a black friend whose Mom made greens and banana pudding that could make you cream in your manpanties, they were both so good.

So are Opie and Gayelle going to tie the knot?

By the way, I verified the new costs for the boys at 117 definitely starting on 1 July. Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays it will cost them 20Reais entry. Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays still will be the 10Reais entry.
