shit show

former memphis mayor Herenton who retired in July has now decided that he wants to enter the special election that is being held to pick the new mayor.

thats right. mayor retires in the middle of his term, mayor enters race to become mayor.

this is crazy. no city deserves this kind of treatment, not even cleveland.

also. he still plans to run for district 9 congressman, and his campaign slogan is "keep it real."

ugh.

just let your soul glo

Nene on Anderson Cooper:

I'm obsessed with him, honey. I would ask him out even while I'm married! I've already told my husband, if I see Anderson, honey, it's over! You know, he's real good lookin'! There's something about the way he looks when he's reporting the news. He reports the news with a twinkle in his eyes. Something about it him is just like, ‘Stop it, Anderson! Whatever it is your doin', Stop!' I like him a lot!

totes gay for you

Seth macFarlane is finally spilling the secrets of "Family Guy" — including the fact that, yes, baby Stewie is gay.

"We had an episode that went all the way to the script phase in which Stewie does come out,” MacFarlane,  the show’s creator, says in the September issue of Playboy magazine. “It had to do with the harassment he took from other kids at school. He ends up going back in time to prevent a passage in Leviticus from being written: ‘Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind. It is an abomination.’ But we decided it’s better to keep it vague, which makes more sense because he’s a 1-year-old."

brb outside : friendly fires!

last night, g.animalz and i went to see a recent 2Pz fave, friendly fires at le poisson rouge. i've come to really like this venue, and would rank it my new second, behind music hall of williamsburg, jicyww. n-e-wayz, the show was 11 biscuits!!!!

despite a horrible opener (this was their best song) and a long-ass sound check before (due to technical difficulties) and a severe lack of AC-per-capita, they band came out with a million apologies and proceeded to put on a great show. their enthusiasm was fantastic, as if they wanted us to see how happy it made them to be entertaining us. if you guys have a chance to see them, i'd strongly recommend it.

y'all hear about these ghost ship of secrets?

MOSCOW (Reuters) - The mystery surrounding a missing merchant ship deepened Thursday with the vessel's operator suggesting piracy and maritime experts suspecting foul play or even a secret cargo.

....

Mikhail Boytenko, editor of Russia's respected Sovfracht maritime journal, said that the ship may have been carrying a secret cargo unknown to the vessel's owners or operators.

"I think there was probably some sort of secret cargo on this vessel, not criminal but secret, and a third party of some sort did not want the cargo to get to another party so this highly sophisticated operation was cooked up," he told Reuters.

....

Concerns over the safety of the 15-member Russian crew were raised after the Malta Maritime Authority said it received reports the ship had been boarded by armed men in masks posing as anti-drugs police in Swedish waters on July 24.

....

"My view is that it is most likely that the vessel has been hijacked," Viktor Matveyev, director of the Finnish company Solchart, which operates the vessel, told Reuters. "We of course hope that everything is okay with the crew."

Swedish police said an investigator had spoken briefly to the crew on July 31 when the vessel was in the Atlantic after sailing through the Dover Strait between Britain and France. An electronic signal showing its location has been turned off.
