How ironic, when every fundamentalist christian knows that the hurricane was God's punishment against us for harboring gays http://www.planetout.com/news/article.html?2005/08 /31/2 .

There's only one thing for enlightened America left to do: round up all the people with facial warts, and burn them at the stake as witches to chase the evil hurricane spirits away.

Just an FYI, there are cases being reported that the incubation period has dropped to just several months.

Yikes!

Actually, even while the military is scrambling to get more Arab linguists, they recently discharged at least seven of them. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. So, I have no sympathy for the military needing experts in languages (human or computer).

...oh, one last thing. It won't change your mind at all (I'm not convinced your mind can be changed), but here's an article on the latest study out of the UK:

U.K. study: Sexuality is set before birth

I'm sure you'll just dismiss it out of hand (as it doesn't fit your newly found preconceived stereotypes), but hopefully you'll instead add it to the list of data available. Between this, and the studies that show that "ex-gay" repairative therapy simply doesn't work, maybe you might become convinced that it's not a "choice" (in what is typically meant by that word).

What is up with the 'controversy'? I remember being shown the original GTA3, where you could pick up the hooker, get the blowjob/health, beat the shit out of her and take your money back. Yet suddenly Vice City is appearing in various media, and is a Joe Lieberman target. What happened? Did someone troll or astroturf all the parents' groups to drum up controversy?

Hi. I'm an early 20-something gay geek looking to have a good time with some other gay geeks. I've already tried gay.com and planetout.com personal ads without much success. Sure, there's a lot of gays on those services, but if I mention Linux to them they think it is some kind of new lubricant. I want a geek who knows what I'm talking about when I start mounting my removable media.

If you're near my age and interested, please e-mail me at gaygeekboi@gay.com. Thanks!

In Hedwig and the Angry Inch there is a running joke about the bands manager (played by Andrea Martin of SCTV fame having a mobile phone in her head. She has to dial the phone by pressing different teeth with her tongue and can never get it right.

There was a great scene in a laundrymat (a deleted scene on the DVD I think) where she gets a hit on the head and loses control of it. In the movie it was a joke about how phones keep getting smaller so, as a status symbol, she gets hers implanted. It's kind of eerie to see if becoming a reality.

John Cameron Mitchell (the writer/actor/director) talks a little about it here.
