Richard Cohen, an unlicensed psychotherapist who advocates a way for gay men and women to "come out as straight" and leave their lifestyle behind, made the mistake of going on Rachel Maddow's MSNBC show last night to defend himself. Maddow has been going after him of late for his links to a group in Uganda that is trying to pass a bill against gay citizens that would include a death penalty for "serial offenders." The group uses Cohen's book Coming Out Straight as a basis for their belief. (They're also linked by Maddow to the influential conservative Christian group the Family.) In this seventeen-minute clip, Maddow pretty much makes mincemeat of the guy on several levels — most prominently, the level where Cohen is not accredited by any agency in any state or country.

when someone mentions the jersey shore, you might imagine parasites of the guido variety, but prepare yourself for something infinitely more horrifying. meet the cymothoa exigua, aka the tongue eating louse, aka snookie, aka schnickas. this crustacean parasite consumes and replaces the tongue of spotted rose snappers off the coast of california, and until recently, it was thought that the c. exigua could only be found on the west coast of the US. however, in september of this year it was also discovered inhabiting the mouth of the weaver fish off the coast of jersey....england. if you'd like to read more about this disgusting creature, click here and here, 'cause knowledge is power.

oh crap.

The N.C.A.A. is conducting a wide-ranging investigation into the University of Tennessee’s football recruiting practices, according to interviews with several prospects, their family members and high school administrators. A significant part of the investigation is focused on the use of recruiting hostesses who have become folk heroes on Tennessee Internet message boards for their ability to help lure top recruits.
...
Two of Lattimore’s teammates, Brandon Willis and Corey Miller, have orally committed to Tennessee. Lattimore described the hostesses as “real pretty, real nice and just real cool.” He said he thought they had “a lot” of influence in Miller’s and Willis’s commitments to Tennessee. (via)

williamsburg has another brilliant idea

i always have a difficult time coming up with a christmas gift for my father, so when i received an email promising the services of a gift clairvoyant i was excited. "finally!" i thought, someone can use their pyschic abilities to tell me what to do. but apparently the psychic chooses a gift from a limited selection of merchandise from a set of preselected stores, and something tells me that my dad isn't in need, nor want, of $150 roll of aleister crowley hand printed wall paper from grow house grow, or a $65 bordallo pinheiro goat toothpick holder from kiosk.

so thanks psychic lady judith auora ryan. thanks for nothing.

2sie 2zday!!!

RIP kiki

this story is full of gold nuggets. i really recommend reading the full article.

France was in mourning today for one of its oldest and best-loved lotharios, a giant tortoise named Kiki, who died at the age of 146.

Staff at the Ménagerie du Jardin des Plantes in Paris announced that its veteran resident had succumbed last week to an infection.

They paid tribute to the zoo's "doyen", whose distinctive personality and "demonstrative lovemaking" had made him a favourite with the French public. (via)
