The report said DiFatta slid his foot into the deputy's stall and tapped the deputy's foot. In the report, Conley noted that such activity is common among men to indicate a willingness to participate in sex.

The deputy inside the stall, Detective Wayne Couvillion, responded by tapping his foot, and DiFatta reached under the partition and began to rub the deputy's leg, the report states.

The detective asked DiFatta, "What do you want?" according to the report, and he replied, "I want to play with you."

Eep-Op-Oop-Ah-Ah,
Tap, tap, tap, taptap,
I wanna play with you!

(apologies to Hanna Barbara for that one...)

"Baseball is being taken away from you. It's difficult to handle, especially when watching Mets games have become part of your routine. There's some reality to it. It's like you've suddenly had an aneurysm."

I tend to think if you're a Mets fan you probably need something more like a lobotomy, but...

In a 27-page order, Judge Charles Porter found Craig had entered the guilty plea "accurately, voluntarily and intelligently" and it was too late to withdraw his admission.

Oops. What's next for Larry Craig? Will he resign? Will he stay? Will he come out of the closet? Will he ever be allowed in a public restroom again? Tune in tomorrow! Same bathroom time, same bathro... What? They're closing it for remodeling?

The sport of bull riding may start drug testing some of its athletes – not the riders, the bulls.

As if the four-legged beasts that weigh up to 2,200 pounds don't have enough testosterone, some bull owners allegedly are injecting the animals with anabolic steroids.

Okay, now this is starting to get weird... It's okay to feed cows BGH so they get bigger for getting sent to the supermarket, but not okay if they're trying to get a little revenge?

“If anyone ever doubted that there is enmity between Democrats and American talk radio, they need look no further than the personal attacks leveled on Rush Limbaugh on the floor of the Senate,” said Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.), the sponsor of legislation shielding broadcasters from government interference. “I thought it astonishing that members of the U.S. Senate would engage in repeated and distorted personal attacks on a private citizen. It gives evidence of a level of frustration with conservative talk radio that is very troubling to anyone who cherishes the medium.”

I'd love to know what exactly was distorted. The guy said it.

ON Oct. 11, 1991, I testified about my experience as an employee of Clarence Thomas’s at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

I stand by my testimony.

Have to say, with everything that has been coming out, Anita Hill looks more credible at every turn, and Clarence Thomas looks like someone who should have never been nominated to the court.

On March 17, 2003 President Bush issued the warning: “Saddam Hussein and his sons must leave Iraq within 48 hours. Their refusal to do so will result in military conflict commenced at a time of our choosing ,” yet now thanks to a transcript leaked to the Spanish newspaper El Pais, we learn that more than three weeks prior to that Bush had told former Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar that “The Egyptians are speaking to Saddam Hussein. It seems he’s indicated he would be prepared to go into exile if he’s allowed to take $1 billion …” When confronted about the leaked transcript yesterday, Whitehouse spokeswoman Dana Perino did not dispute its accuracy.

I don't even know where to start with this.

"Your America is where Neil Armstrong takes a walk on the moon," Bono said. "Your America gave Europe the Marshall Plan. Your America gave the world the Peace Corps."

"America is not just a country, it's an idea, isn't it? It's a great and powerful idea," he said. "The idea that all men are created equal, that we are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights. That among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

Bono gets it. America is about more than just the policies and all that, it's about the ideal we need to try to live up to. The ideal is why America can be the greatest country in the world. It's why when we blow it off (like the current administration) we look like assholes to the rest of the world.

"the question is, Were you with the kids or were you not?"

Charley is dead on the ball on this one. They've got a solid case and the right message. It'll be interesting to watch and see how the White House and Faux News try to re-spin this one into something else.
