Sonny Bono was clubbed to death by hit men…

Sonny Bono was clubbed to death by hired hitmen, according to a stunning new tabloid expose. An investigator who has been researching Bono’s 1998 fatal skiing accident for the past decade claims top officials linked to an international drug and weapons ring feared the singer-turned-politician was about to expose their criminal acts – and so they had him killed on the slopes.

But former FBI agent Ted Gunderson tells America’s Globe that there’s more to the tragedy than meets the eye, after studying the autopsy reports and other evidence.

He says, “It’s nonsense for anyone to now try to suggest that Bono died after crashing into a tree. There’s zero evidence in this autopsy report… to show such an accident happened. Instead, there’s powerful proof he (Bono) was assassinated. This was an evil plot that was carried out to almost perfection by ruthless assassins.”

The retired FBI agent is now calling for the authorities to exhume Bono’s remains and open a homicide investigation.

Gunderson’s efforts have been backed by top forensics experts, who fear Nevada authorities were too quick to mark the tragedy as a skiing accident, and investigator Bob Fletcher, who has confessed he sent evidence of a 10-year study that linked top U.S. government officials to arms and weapons dealers to Bono less than a month before his death.

Fletcher says, “He was going to make it his number one priority… There’s no doubt in my mind Sonny was murdered by someone who needed him silenced.”

Tabloids and their stories… This has to be some really bad nightmare for his family.

Jen is often regaling us with various men she’d like to drink sweat off of, lick, etc. Well, I’m a dude and I think I should return the favor for the male readers of this site by posting hotties from time to time.

I present to you Monica Bellucci in all her glorious perfection.

Lord have mercy.

Men and Women (Bruce)

By Bruce

I read the article Jen linked to below with great interest, but it wasn’t anything I didn’t know already. Men and women really want the same thing when it comes right down to it. We want a responsible spouse who is able to hold a steady job, be a good parent, not be an a-hole to us and not cheat on us. We want them to be “nice” in public and then be a dirty rotten whore in the bedroom. This goes for both sexes. My wife loves me because I’m all of the nice things I stated above (and I do scrapbooking with her, but I digress…) and yet I understand her “needs” in the bedroom. That article was spot on.

Gun Control… 3 Words: Cold. Dead. Hands.

By jen

Barry O, please… please please please continue down this train of thought. Please go on TV and talk about how you are going to do all you can to take our guns away. I think that is a great strategy. Run with it, oh great wave of wisdom!

“I am not in favor of concealed weapons,” Obama said. “I think that creates a potential atmosphere where more innocent people could (get shot during) altercations.”

Staggering. You can call him consistent if nothing else. Back in ‘96 a survey he filled out but of course has no memory of doing so and blames a staffer of mentally causing his handwriting to appear on the survey.

From 1996:

Obama’s positions in 1996, according to the questionnaire that bears his handwriting?

• Opposed to parental notification on abortions. He amended this to say that he might possibly support it for 12- or 13-year-olds, but no older.


• Flatly opposed the death penalty, a position he denied ever having.


• Supported bans on the sale, possession, and manufacture of guns, again a position he denied ever taking.

Two Candidate, Same Subject… WAY Different Explanations.

By jen

First, John Mccain: via: TownHall about war.

Just days ago, while speaking to the Los Angeles World Affairs Council, Senator McCain stated, “In Vietnam, where I formed the closest friendships of my life, some of those friends never came home to the country they loved so well. I detest war. It might not be the worst thing to befall human beings, but it is wretched beyond all description. When nations seek to resolve their differences by force of arms, a million tragedies ensue. The lives of a nation’s finest patriots are sacrificed. Innocent people suffer and die. Commerce is disrupted; economies are damaged; strategic interests shielded by years of patient statecraft are endangered as the exigencies of war and diplomacy conflict. Not the valor with which it is fought nor the nobility of the cause it serves, can glorify war. Whatever gains are secured, it is loss the veteran remembers most keenly. Only a fool or a fraud sentimentalizes the merciless reality of war. However heady the appeal of a call to arms, however just the cause, we should still shed a tear for all that is lost when war claims its wages from us.”

Second, Barry O via his website which i refuse to link.  Mind you, he has zero point of reference for serving his country in uniform.  I would venture to say the greatest danger he has ever been in his life is when he pisses off that bulldog he is married to.  That or when he couldn’t agree on a color scheme for the Harvard Law Review Christmas Party with Buffy Finklestein and she put him in a choke hold.

“But conventional thinking in Washington lined up for war. The pundits judged the political winds to be blowing in the direction of the President. Despite – or perhaps because of how much experience they had in Washington, too many politicians feared looking weak and failed to ask hard questions. Too many took the President at his word instead of reading the intelligence for themselves. Congress gave the President the authority to go to war. Our only opportunity to stop the war was lost.

I made a different judgment. I thought our priority had to be finishing the fight in Afghanistan. I spoke out against what I called ‘a rash war’ in Iraq. I worried about, ‘an occupation of undetermined length, with undetermined costs, and undetermined consequences.’ The full accounting of those costs and consequences will only be known to history. But the picture is beginning to come into focus.”

—Barack Obama, Clinton, Iowa, September 12, 2007

So we have a man who actually gave a thoughtful, articulate answer from personal experience.  Then we have Mr.  I Will Win The War By Saying We Should Have Never Been There. Not sure about your thoughts, but this is a fucking no brainer.

A Gem From Craig’s List: This is a PSA for the Beta Guys.

By jen

at mailed me this article and thought I would find it interesting. i find it damn near perfection with only a few minor disagreements, but I will leave those a mystery. “Just Fucking Fuck Me, Already!”

It is a safe to click link, but it is an explicit article so be warned.

It is a plea and a PSA all rolled up into one. This broad pretty much hits the nail on the head. I will post a few highlights, but you really need to go read it, all of you. I wish I would have had this a few weeks ago doing the gender wars around Ace Of Spades HQ and Jawa Report. I am not linking to them, they are best left alone, but still, this would have been fun to toss on the fire. Also, there seems to be this whole thing going on around the blog world about Beta Males. This is apropos

She starts off gentle…

Dear Men of Craigslist,

Look, I know you men have it difficult. Women are just about impossible to understand, much less please. In a post-feminist society, you never know exactly what you should be doing. Women are bloody picky, I know we are. It can be scary, too, when women freak out about what appear to be benign issues. And men who do their best to be respectful, female-positive humans, I salute you, I do.

Then she gets seriously to the point… do not continue if you do not want to read some pretty direct language, even for me.

Karl Rove in GQ: Interview with an Evil Genius

By jen

I read through the interview with Rove this morning at work and it is pretty good. Nothing too newsworthy, but he does mention a few things about the presidential candidates worth highlighting.

If you had to make a bet, can Hillary pull it off?
The odds are long, but improbable things have happened almost every month in this race. She wasn’t supposed to win New Hampshire, and she did. So we’ll see. You know, she’s got a lot of strengths, and he does, too. We got two wellmatched opponents going at each other hammer and tongs. It’s fun to watch.

I would prefer to watch them go at it with pick axes and chainsaws, but that is just me.

Talking about the mythic Obamacans:

There are Democrats, particularly blue-collar Democrats, who defect to McCain because they see McCain as a patriotic figure and they see Obama as an elitist who’s looking down his nose at ‘em. Which he is. That comment where he said, you know, “After 9/11, I didn’t wear a flag lapel pin because true patriotism consists of speaking out on the issues, not wearing a flag lapel pin”? Well, to a lot of ordinary people, putting that flag lapel pin on is true patriotism. It’s a statement of their patriotic love of the country. And for him to sit there and dismiss it as he did—

You’re not wearing a flag pin, Karl.
Sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t. But I respect those who consciously get up in the morning and put a flag lapel pin on.

Do you see the elitist thing in other ways?
Obama is coolly detached and very arrogant. I think he’s very smart and knows he’s smart, but as a result doesn’t do his homework.

Yeah, Barry O is a shithead, no doubt about that.

What have been your dealings with them?
Well, you know, I used to have her office at the White House. And I got to know [Obama] because we have a mutual friend, Ken Mehlman, who was his law-school classmate at Harvard. And so as a result, whenever in the last three years he’s been around at the White House, I’ve gotten to see him, and we sort of would hang around and chitchat about things. I’m actually in his book. He wrote that “people like Newt Gingrich, Tom Delay, Ralph Reed, and Karl Rove say we are a Christian nation.” And I did not say that. I confronted him about it. At the White House.

And what did he say?
Well, first he denied that I was in the book! And then he denied that it said that I said that it was a Christian nation. And then when I pulled out the thing [he had a copy of the offensive page with him] and showed it to him, he sort of blah-blah-blah-blah-blah- blah-blah. And I thought, That’s who he is. I mean, look, he may claim that he’s for a different kind of politics, but that was a cheap shot. And I’m not certain if any of the four said it either. But it was like, you know, Let’s just strap it in there and see if it goes someplace. Another example: Him saying, “We honor John McCain for his fifty years of service” was a cheap shot. He was going out of his way to say John McCain’s old.

Go read the rest, it is fun.

Dolly Parton is on TV

By jen

You know, you gotta love Dolly.  If you hate Dolly you are a troglodyte.  Seriously, she is The Shit.  I just flipped onto the Idol Results show and there she is singing Jesus and Gravity. She is and always has been a cartoon of femininity and you know what?  She fucking owns it and she takes it to the bank.
