I think, unfortunately for Marty's career, Marty is going to win it. JD sealed his fate with the challenge this week. Which is too bad, because he would fit better with INXS music. And he does not have as promising of a solo career ahead of him as Marty would. I wonder how long the band will tie up his career for.

My only question is how many hours of fluff we will have to fast forward through before we get the decision.

Update, the top 3 get to pick songs this week from all the songs performed. Marty picks Pretty Vegas. Interesting move, as that's JD's strongest song. Marty's playing keep-away. Then he decides on Wish you were here.

From the website....When the three Rockers get back to the Mansion, they enter the billiard room to see a solitary envelope on the bulletin board. It contains a note from INXS congratulating them for making the final three. It also informs them that for the final show, they each must pick the one song from all the songs performed this season that best shows what they have to offer INXS.

With all the songs laid out on the floor before them, the three of them decide that they can put a hold on the songs they want. Marty quickly makes a strategic move and grabs "Pretty Vegas," keeping J.D. from his most popular song. J.D. decides on the Rolling Stones' "You Can't Always Get What You Want." The song was a showstopper for Ty a few weeks ago, but J.D. has a personal reason for wanting this tune: It's the song he's requested to be played at his funeral (along with another Stones classic, "Sympathy For The Devil").

J.D. doesn't want to repeat himself: "I'm here to progress, not regress," he says. Marty ends up deciding to reprise his performance of Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here," because it's the song with which he found a new voice. MiG's instinct is to take Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody," but he's not sure it's the right move. Privately, Marty says that for MiG, singing that song would be a "shaky decision." It would send the wrong message if he's trying to show INXS that he's moved on from being the lead in a Queen musical. But when MiG asks for advice, with a straight face, Marty tells him, "Go for it."

Recruits Sought for Porn Squad

By Barton Gellman
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, September 20, 2005; A21



The FBI is joining the Bush administration's War on Porn. And it's looking for a few good agents.

Early last month, the bureau's Washington Field Office began recruiting for a new anti-obscenity squad. Attached to the job posting was a July 29 Electronic Communication from FBI headquarters to all 56 field offices, describing the initiative as "one of the top priorities" of Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales and, by extension, of "the Director." That would be FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III.

Mischievous commentary began propagating around the water coolers at 601 Fourth St. NW and its satellites, where the FBI's second-largest field office concentrates on national security, high-technology crimes and public corruption.

The new squad will divert eight agents, a supervisor and assorted support staff to gather evidence against "manufacturers and purveyors" of pornography -- not the kind exploiting children, but the kind that depicts, and is marketed to, consenting adults.

"I guess this means we've won the war on terror," said one exasperated FBI agent, speaking on the condition of anonymity because poking fun at headquarters is not regarded as career-enhancing. "We must not need any more resources for espionage."

My favorite line from the article: . . . speaking on the condition of anonymity because poking fun at headquarters is not regarded as career-enhancing.

Words to live by, indeed.

I haven't got time for that. There's too much, and now the new fall season has started. I'm so far behind.

Anyway- question:

The thing focuses on a clinic in Fla where 2 doctors have already been killed. And there is an open parking lot right off the street. The nuts have a line of fire when you get out of the car.

Shouldn't abortion clinics have enclosed parking? It just seems like enough dead doctors have proven the open lots aren't a good idea. Is it common that they have open lots- especially in Red states?

Planned Parenthood Houston's parking lot is across the street from the actual clinc. People can drive up to the clinic and be dropped off, but they can't park there.

My camera was confiscated the last time I went into the building, and the security guys are much, much more thorough than the guys at airport.

Must be good - they can't seem to get enough of them. Or their assholes, either (hi Fringey!).

Hi!

I bet if you could lick your own balls, you probably would. At least once. Just to try it. But probably the contortion to position yourself would be uncomfortable enough to outweigh the pleasure.

So Rebecca Romijn is engaged to Jerry O'Connell. Who's Jerry O'Connell? And is he hot enough?

Can you believe that despite all the filth on the World Wide Internets typing "dog licking balls" into Google image search does not bring up a picture of a dog licking his balls? What, I ask, what is this world coming to?

What does it bring up? Did you try "ass" or "testicles" in lieu of "balls"?

Some poor bastard who had an "L" stolen off the end of his name, apparently.

Fat kid in Stand By Me. Alternatively, dumb quarterback from Texas in Jerry Maguire. Or the lead character in Sliders.

Try it when you get home. The fact that "balls" didn't work left me so disgusted that I didn't even try alternate approaches.

Another post that will never be all it could have been. I blame society.
