Okay, so we're about to show you a couple of things, and we're not exactly sure what it is that we're showing you. But here are three things that we do know. (1) There's a company called Vemma, which involves the marketing and selling of "health and wellness" drinks: (2) The company, as well as the multi-level marketing plan attached to it, is nothing if not controversial. The internet is filled with sites questioning the legitimacy of the plans, with the words "pyramid scheme" even tossed around by some. Detractors are direct, but so are supporters: Report: Vemma Corporation Is ...

We'll be back soon for a new season but this time we close out the film year with the final discussion of Oscar's 2009/10 hoedown throwdown.

Among the topics:

• George Clooney escape from his famous attractiveness
• Secret love

The abrupt resignation of New York Congressman Eric Massa seemed ideal for a SNL send-up, replete with stories of naked shower chats with Rahm Emanuel, tickle fights with his all-bachelor flatmates, self-described "Caligula orgies" naval initiations, and -- of course... ...

The teabagger movement is largely fake. It's mostly orchestrated by wealthy and corporate interests. One of the most powerful set of interests in that area is the Bush Family. I've wondered why the teabaggers are so angry at a rightist nutjob like Crist. This may be the answer. From the St. Petersburg Times 3/14/10:There's been a lot of speculation about when Jeb Bush will finally make his preference official and endorse Marco Rubio for the Senate.But it strikes us that Rubio is better served for now with the popular ex-governor continuing with his current role: ostensibly neutral ...

I am playing with the new easy as pie way to slide my Blogspot into 2010 by upgrading it's look with draft.blogger.comI have tried to edit the width of my posting area with no luck for awhile now.  This feature is just one of the customizations that they offer.   I wanted this extra space in order to accommodate larger video embeds.  I was having to even size down standard Youtube 480 width to 400 to fit which was a hassle.  Now I can show HD in it's full glory like on MySpace blog.Evolution from Delrious on ...

You might recall that Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli recently followed the lead of anti-gay Gov. Bob McDonnell — who cut LGBT protections out of his state — and issued a letter to Virginia’s public colleges and universities, saying, “Hey, cut those LGBT protections out of your school statements or else!”There was a big ol’ backlash, of course, and while McDonnell backed his homophobia down just a bit by issuing a legally non-binding “executive directive” calling for the occasional fair treatment of LGBT people, Cuccinelli is not backing down a bit. In fact, following clarifying statements on ...

So I had hoped this weekend would bring fun story posts as well as pictures. It was Monster Mania here in Jersey, but alas there was no Monster Mania for me. The friends I made there who I usually hang out with decided to pass on this one, but hope to make it for the August one. The guest list was amazing, but honestly no one I was dying to meet. Okay maybe one or two. However without people to hang out with, I decided it wasn’t really that worth it. Plus I have this conference paper I am supposed ...

So sweet! The very talented - and extra-nice - Remittance Girl just guest-posted my story, "Last Tango in Paris, Texas" from my new Coming Together Presents M.Christian collection. A tantalizing taste follows ... and click here for the rest of the story on Remittance Girl's fantastic blog. You know the El Rio? Down on Cortez? Well, I’m not surprised; I’d be surprised if you did. It’s not exactly what you’d call a memorable ‘establishment’. Nothing, really, but a cinder block bunker in the middle of a red-dust parking lot. Hell, you wouldn’t even know it ...

Image via WikipediaOpinion Source: The Common Ills Ayad Allawi told Western officials that aides to Nouri al-Maliki, the Prime Minister, had hidden ballot papers and falsified computer records in an effort to retain power. “They are stealing the votes of the Iraqi people,” his spokesman told a press conference called to set out the main claims. The claims could trigger a fresh round of violence and undermine the credibility of the next government at a time when US troops are preparing to leave Iraq. Full election results have yet to be announced but Mr Allawi -- a former Prime ...

Los cuervos tienen la facultad de ver a los espiritus, tambien llevan y traen las almas del purgatorio, y son vigías de la venganza de las almas que regresan.

I know it's not exactly news that regular radio sucks, but it's really getting ridiculous.I have 5 music stations programmed on my car radio - all rock-oriented, if you count the pop-rock-oldies-mishmash of JACK-FM. I only listen to/from work (about 30min each way) , to/from the gym (about 10min) and out to lunch a few times a week (maybe 10 minutes total) . Even then my morning listening is mostly talk-radio and I often listen to my iPod on the way home from work. Still, even with these limited listening times, it's incredibly apparent that the playlists on these ...

Boy George and George Michael are on speaking terms again after 25 years of silence, the UK's Daily Star tabloid reports:  "The Culture Club singer slammed the Wham star for failing to come out as a homosexual at the height of their groups’ fame in the 1980s. The attack prompted Michael to label George a 'bitch' – and the pair refused to speak to each other for more than a quarter-of-a-century. But the Karma Chameleon singer revealed yesterday: 'We have exchanged emails and things are pretty good between us. We’ve ‘spoken’ a couple of times and he seems to be doing ...

Bosnia-Herzegovina debuted their entry yesterday. The song could best be described as Balkan Rock, the likes of which we have seen last year from Macedonia, this year from Macedonia, and way way way way back in 1974 when Bosnia was part of Yugoslavia, except that was also witty and progressive (and Serbian). Mind you, in style, it’s pretty much Finland’s 2007 entry or Iceland’s 2007 entry.  (Why oh why didn’t they aim to nick Finland 2008?) At least he’s good looking and can move.   ...
