retroCRUSH: The barely legal pleasure palace
Hopefully the movie will go no further than this. I don't want to see the gay porn Frankenstein. I mean we don't know whose organ the doc gave him, but judging by the hands, feet, and head, the doctor had an obsession with size. No wonder the bride of Frankenstein looked all freaked out.

Jane's International Security News
However, Saddam's aim of portraying himself as one of the very few Arab leaders prepared to take practical steps, rather than issue statements deploring Israel's military operation in the West Bank, has met with some success. The speech in which he made the announcement was broadcast throughout the Arab world and reports suggest the move has been applauded by many ordinary Arabs who are becoming increasingly disillusioned by the obvious political impotence of most of their leaders.

The only real difference being it would be quicker, easier and cheaper to have a barman, who would have to be present in order to collect money and put the beers on the bar in the first place, do it for you.

But most news organizations have, it seems, deliberately refused to acknowledge the facts showing that a vast disproportion of the priests accused of abuse have been gay, and that their victims have with rare exceptions been pubescent and teenage boys, not prepubescent children, and that the rise of the lavender clergy over the last 20 years, to the point where between 20 and 50 percent of all Catholic priests now are estimated to be gay -- that this rise really has been disastrous for the church.

The book of my enemy has been remaindered And I am pleased. In vast quantities it has been remaindered Like a van-load of counterfeit that has been seized And sits in piles in a police warehouse, My enemy's much-prized effort sits in piles In the kind of bookshop where remaindering occurs.

The other tales kept from the jury were equally disturbing - from a fire at a jail warden's home, after she refused Boucher weekend leaves, to how the [Hells Angels] biker provided the materials for bombs left at police stations, to how he paid a visit to a witness against him.

"As an example, there's certain information that we can gather and pass on to the Americans in the bill, but we can't pass it onto our own law enforcement people, so that's pretty stupid."

The name of the Spanish judge will come as no surprise. He is Baltazar Garzon, the magistrate who in 1998 sought the extradition from Britain of General Augusto Pinochet to answer charges that the old dictator ordered the murder of Spanish citizens, among the estimated 4,000 people who either disappeared or were killed after the September 1973 coup that toppled the elected civilian president Salvador Allende. The extradition request was finally denied by the Law Lords on the technical ground that the Chilean dictator, who by then had suffered at least one heart attack, was too old to face trial. But Garzon is no respecter of persons, and his tenacity is legendary. Pinochet was the prime mover behind Operation Condor %uFFD0 which, in addition to Chile, also covered Argentina, Paraguay, Brazil, Bolivia and Uruguay. Meanwhile, declassified documents released by the State Department and the CIA since his detention have strengthened suspicions that Kissinger, as Nixon's national security adviser and in effective full control of US foreign policy, was well aware of what was happening.

"If a thing's not worth doing well, it's not worth doing..." is an observation from Mister Evelyn Waugh's most famous work, Brideshead Revisited.

Picks: Scoop (read excerpt); Decline and Fall (read excerpt); The Loved One (read excerpt).

''Homosexuality is not the issue. Celibacy is not the issue,'' Pruitt said. ''The issue is whether we will address the need in the church for an integrated, holistic theology of human sexuality and start discussing how you foster healthy relationships.''

The report argues that legal issues involving the taking of prisoners while respecting the Geneva Convention were never worked out before Canada sent troops to Afghanistan, and raises the risk to Canadian values -- from bilingualism to the right of gays to serve in the military -- that could be threatened by greater integration with the U.S. military.

Ananova - 'Mystery' Enron women pose for Playboy

washingtonpost.com: Prelates Back Ouster of 'Notorious' Clergy
As an example, Gregory cited a hypothetical case of a priest who has had only one known victim. The fast-track proceeding could begin "if a review of the history of this person leads you to believe that if he is not removed from the clerical state, you are facing a potential serial problem."

Young Egyptians Hearing Call of 'Martyrdom'
