Because I think hiring a prostitute with a porn website as your shill fake reporter and then feeding him state secrets and letting him hang around the white house is TACKY. That’s why. (Please note: censored but still racy pictures of former “reporter” Jeff Gannon aka J.G. Duckert at that url.)

If we can impeach the last President for doing the bumpin’ uglies with an intern in the White House, why not impeach this one for giving espionage secrets to a rent boy with aliases and a $20,000 judgment against him who’s been hired under false pretenses to impersonate a reporter? If we needed lurid sex along with the dereliction of duty and violation of oath again, we got it now.

What’s necessary to take these bastards down? Do they have to reenact the entire 120 Days of Sodom on the White House Lawn on a squad of preschoolers, or something?

Shannon Elizabeth is ready to curl up and dye. Best known for her breakout role in “American Pie,” the 31-year-old actress makes her debut as a TV series regular in “Cuts,” a UPN comedy premiering Monday, Feb. 14.

The sitcom, a spinoff of the UPN hit “One on One,” stars Elizabeth as Tiffany Sherwood, a rich party girl whose father, Jack (Corbin Bernsen), is the new owner of Phatheadz, a former black family-owned barbershop in an upwardly mobile Los Angeles neighborhood.

LAKES GNOME GARDEN’S FATAL ATTRACTION FOR DIVERS

A recent discussion in another forum about “white elephant” parties revealed that at least in some places they are called “Dirty Santa” parties. This is a much better name in every way, but it does bring up a kind of CAKE BOAT situation in which someone mishears and doesn’t realize until slightly too late that they’ve been invited to a Dirty Sanchez party.

My valentine’s day resolution is to smack my bitch up.

I had too much wine last night so the day began slowly. However I did manage to solve a couple of technical problems after coffee. Went to D’s and read Clive James for a bit, especially on Orwell who fascinates me still lately. I want to be George Orwell when I grow up.

Ran into anariel and Julie, who are lovely and talented and my future ex-girlfriends. anariel made me realize what I’d missed not seeing Jonathan Richman last night. Rats. He’s so cool.

Had quite a talk with young Dave about the grimy, corrupt life of the small towns he grew up in, where five families ran everything and you got disappeared if you screwed with them. Red Bluff, CA sounds like something out of a Jim Thompson novel. And Bullhead City is a real nightmare, like “Chinatown” but without the glamour of a big city. Don’t open a restaurant or the Restaurant Gangsters will burn it down, etc. White supremacist skinhead gangs, brutal racist cops, bad schools, and nothing to do. He’s happier here.
