Boy George on George Michael:
"George tells Page Six, "People saw me as the benchmark queer while George was passing himself off as a straight stud. In fact, he was loitering in public loos like some pre-war homosexual."

I am not sure what a pre-war homosexual is exactly but I think this is my new favorite inslut. TOo bad I am a pussycat now.

Interesting. But I'm not sure I'd agree that George Michael was trying to pass himself off as a straight man, I mean really, can a man in a torn t-shirt, swaying his hips, singing "Jitterbug" really be considered acting "straight"? I mean, besides Gatti, who can really pull that look off.



Also, anyone notice that the present day George Michael kind of looks like Ricky Gervais?

Yet, strangely incorrect. My direct deposit bounched back so they are mailing me an old school check. Woulda been nice if I had looked into that a couple of weeks ago, but c'est la vie.

Careful. That could be a straight frame-up. Sometimes they just need a signature on the check to complete the mens rea component.

I've had big wires bounce around for a while if some dumbass didn't triplecheck account numbers, or the bank doesn't do the fraq right or at all or for all other kinds of reasons, none of which were ever my fault. There's a special kind of terror in a person's voice when that person's calling you trying to find out why shitloads of money isn't where they think it's supposed to be.

I can't believe that you are making fun Our Holy Saviour On Earth And He Was From Poland Too And Even Though He Was Really Conservative And Just Kind Of Accidentally Got Lucky With Communism And Then He Got Shot And Everyone Loved Him And He Forgave The Guy Even Though He Was A Dirty Turk And Let's Just Forget About That Whole Thing About The Repressive, Closedminded Leadership And The Whole Child Molestation Thing Cause He Sure Was Sweet-Looking Wasn't He's recent passing into the immortal beyond. Have you no heart, man?

My $0.02 says Santos wins, if for no other reason than to avoid introducing a completely new Administration and cast, and tossing out so many SAG members onto the street by Xmas.

You don't want my WW predictions. I'm the guy who (a.) professed not to watch the show; and (b.) predicted they would kill off Leo McGarry in the series premiere this year.

If you still want to know, the Dem nominee is Santos. Duh. As for Vinnick, there's no way they let the show continue with a GOP prez, even one who's a wet dream for Dems. What does the ensemble cast do? Shuffle off to Buffalo?

I briefly entertained the idea that CJ would resign and work for Vinnick b/c of of Vinnick's convention claim to be the heir to Bartlett, but something tells me Vinnick would see her as radiocactive because of a pending DOJ investigation for releasing national secrets. But it ain't gonna work for four. more. years. So we'll all have to just stroke off to a world in which the fake GOP candidate tells the Christian right to fuck off a week after the real GOP dry humped the brain-dead corpse of Terry Schiavo.

Two years of President Santos. Then cancellation.

I used to have a bad crush on Andrew of Wham in that video when he used to dreamily sing the "da....la....da....la....la" part of the song about the guy stuck in the marriage with a woman where everything she wants is everything she needs:

Had to say something about Hearts, didn't you? We played like shit and deserved to lose, ok? Is that what you wanted to hear? Leave me alone. Leave me the fuck alone.

And stop badmouthing God's First Choice Keeper On Earth.

PAT BONNER
Pat Bonner, known by many as 'Packie', was born in County Donegal in 1960. He was spotted by Celtic while he kept goal for Leicester City in the FA Youth Cup and was signed by Jock Stein on May 14 1978.

An agile, perceptive keeper, his performance in 1987-88 helped the team achieve the best defensive result in Britain, conceding only 23 goals in 44 League matches.

Bonner's skill even earned him the praise of Pope John Paul II. After becoming Eire's hero in the World Cup second round penalty shoot-out against Romania in 1990, the Pope told him: "I know you are the goalkeeper. I used to play in that position myself."

Those Nigerian princes are so sweet and calm in their emails, but can turn very testy.

Andrew is str8. He is married to Keren Woodward (of Bananarama fame). I'm too lazy to provide a link, but trust me on this one.

It tends to get things mostly correct. I've noticed a few mistakes, but I overrode it to correct them.
