Blogger just wasn't doing it for me anymore. As the great Bill O'Reilly would say, "the fucking thing sucks!" Actually, my taste has been growing more esoteric over the past few months, and B-Sides was always temporary.

The centerpiece of Schwarzenegger's budget is a novel plan to ask voters for permission to borrow $15 billion from Wall Street against future earnings of the state lottery, and to temporarily raise the state portion of sales taxes -- now 6.25% -- by 1 percentage point if voters reject the proposal in November.

"As the deficit grew these past few months, I knew that we could not solve this crisis by cuts alone," the governor said in presenting his proposals. "We had to get creative."

Yeah, I guess you could call that creative.

I prefer the Governor when he's being a bit more honest.

When the deputy opened the last closed door, she smelled "decaying matter" and noticed something piled on what appeared to be a toilet. Lewis told her it was Middlesworth's body, the complaint said.

Lewis told the deputy that Middlesworth had died about two months earlier, but that God told her Middlesworth would come to life if she prayed hard enough. She said she couldn't say anything more until she spoke with her "superior" — Bushey, 57, also known as Bishop John Peter Bushey.

People sometimes ask me, "Hey, Agi...what is The Pime?"

I coined the phrase about ten years ago while watching The Wizard of Oz accompanied by Dark Side of the Moon - or I may have been playing guitar with some Pinot Noir. I'm not sure. Anyways - I defined the phrase a few years ago on Urban Dictionary - you know, that site where the Generation Y kids present their bizarre lingo to the world. I completely forgot about my contribution to the urban dick until La Rana sent me there looking for Superman's Ho, or something.

Well, it appears some punks decided to embellish to my initial definition with a more lyrically perverted concept of the pime:

A strand of cum suspended between any two points, usually between one person's mouth and another person's genitals.

Uh, that's not really what I had in mind when I created this word. But I do like definition #4.

God bless the internets.

GARDEN GROVE – An 83-year-old man was accidentally shot in the buttocks by his son Tuesday morning, Garden Grove police said.

A man working at Ernie's Smoke Shop at 10678 Katella Ave. got a gun from under the counter to take to the back and clean, but the gun accidentally went off, hitting his father in the backside, Lt. Robert Fowler of the Garden Grove police said.

SAO PAULO, Brazil (AP) — Hopes for finding a priest who disappeared after soaring into the air with hundreds of colorful balloons are growing slimmer, rescue officials said Wednesday.

Roman Catholic Rev. Adelir Antonio de Carli has been missing since Sunday, when he lifted off from the port city of Paranagua wearing a helmet, an aluminum thermal flight suit, waterproof coveralls and a parachute. He was seeking to break a record for the longest time in-flight with helium-filled party balloons.

The Simpsons has been dropped from morning TV in Venezuela after being deemed unsuitable for children - and has been replaced by Baywatch. The popular US cartoon about the yellow dysfunctional family was branded "inappropriate" and pulled by the country's television authorities. Caracas TV station Televen has started showing episodes of the beachside show in the same mid-morning slot.

NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - For married women who can't figure out why they always have so much housework researchers may have the answer -- husbands.

A new study from the University of Michigan shows that having a husband creates an extra seven hours of extra housework a week for women. But a wife saves her husband from an hour of chores around the house each week.

"It's a well-known pattern. There's still a significant reallocation of labor that occurs at marriage -- men tend to work more outside the home, while women take on more of the household labor," said Frank Stafford, of the university's Institute for Social Research (ISR), who directed the study.

Feh, not in my house. I do the cooking and cleaning. But seriously, if these douchebags could just clean up after themselves then there would be no need for seven hours of extra housework per week.

2008-03-30T08:46:00.000-07:00

While I disagree with some of the selections on this list, it is worth pointing out that Mel Gibson has been involved in 30 percent of these films. Speaking of history on film, we've been watching Season 1 of The Tudors this weekend. It makes for a compelling drama - but as I'm not well versed in English history I'm not sure what is fact and what is fiction. For instance, did Thomas Boleyn really pimp out his daughter (yes, actual pimping - pay attention David Schuster) to persuade the king to axe Cardinal Wolsey as his adviser?

Jake Olzen is a 23-year-old pastoral studies graduate student at the Jesuit school in Chicago. He says the demonstration symbolizes the violence shown in the war and juxtaposes with people's capacity for nonviolent compassion.
