• At the Movies

  After a corrupt Congressional electoral committee declared Republican Rutherford B. Hayes the winner of the 1876 presidential election, Samuel Tilden, the Democratic candidate and the actual winner of the election, left politics and, as Gore Vidal delicately put it, "retired to private life and to the pleasures of what old-time New Yorkers used to recall, wistfully, as one of the greatest collections of pornography in the Gramercy Park area of Manhattan." One hundred and twenty-four years later,

• The Old Porno Slur (Snowball Edition)

  In porno parlance, to snowball someone is to swallow a guy's semen, then kiss him and deposit the gunk in his mouth. Why do we bring this vile practice up? Only 'cause Michael Scott Kerr insists. Kerr, you'll remember, is the man behind Snowball Express, an organization that will fly into Orange County this weekend the widows and children of soldiers who lost their life in our War on Terror. As we pointed out before in the paper, we found it strange that a guy so concerned with helping out othe

• Hypocrites Unite!

  As everyone surely now knows, The Drudge Report has solved the Mark Foley mystery. As you know, Republicans are all about taking responsibility for one's actions. As they demonstrate here, they are indeed taking responsibility--for having an innocent "prank" about pedophilia (nice sense of humor, guys) fall into the hands of evil Democrats (oxymoron?). We just just picture Bill and Hill and Monica, hunched over the computer, copying, pasting and sending Foley's prank out to the masses. XXXXX DRU

• Porn and Taxes

  Getting stiffed by a porn star took on a whole new meaning Monday when Huntington Beach's Janine Lindemulder was arraigned in federal court for allegedly failing to pay about $80,000 in income taxes, The Smoking Gun reports today. The racktacular 39-year-old entered a not guilty plea and was released without bail. A Sept. 16 trial was set. Smoking Gun's item includes a copy of the original charging document that was filed June 18 in U.S. District Court in Eugene, Oregon. Lindemulder, who moved

• On The Wall: Two Fives in a Night, Part Two

  Jorg Dubin's "SEATED TWINS" at the Peter Black Gallery Erotica, generally speaking, is sex with all the gross scrubbed off, everything is glamorous and beautiful. Porn is sex with nothing but the gross, where body parts matter more than the people who own them. Both extremes fail to delve into the complicated, bittersweet reality of sex, the pathos and the comedy of it, the way that it can be beautiful and gross at the same time. We've previously hyped Jorge Dubin's paintings of hard-livin', t

• Scheer Dick

  The rumbling you hear from the direction of Yorba Linda is not the sound from Jason Bay's home run last night finally hitting the turf. It's from Richard M. Nixon spinning in his grave! The HOR-ROR!!! This is because the grounds of the beloved presidential library and birthplace that surround his hallowed crypt will host an appearance by that liberal rabble-rouser Robert Scheer. Bob Scheer?!? WTF?!? Were Hugh Hewitt, Bruce Hershenson, Laura Ingraham, Henry the K and Trickie Dickie's White Ho

• Zack and Miri Lose a Title

  You can understand ABC Family, Radio Disney and the Christian Science Monitor lopping off the second half of the title to Kevin Smith's new dramatic comedy or comedic drama Zack and Miri Make a Porno. It doesn't make it any more right, but you can understand it. But for it to be done by Comedy Central, a supposedly edgy network that is home to South Park, The Sarah Silverman Program and formerly That's My Bush? It just happened during a commercial break for The Daily Show, with the film's title

• Looking Back at 2008: The Celeb-Reality Edition

  It was Oliver Wendell Holmes who opined that a new truth is better than an old celebrity-tinged news item, or at least he would have opined that had he lived in our celeb-obsessed times. So it is in that spirit these 15 Orange County brushes with famous folks in '08 are unveiled.   1) Newport Beach city officials revealed in January they were trying to acquire the statue of their adopted Favorite Son, John Wayne, that moseys in front of the Larry Flynt building in Los Angeles.

  Media reports that as many as 16 actors and actresses in the adult entertainment industry recently tested positive for HIV have prompted new calls for legislation requiring condom use in all porn videos shot in California. Opponents to condom use include the multi-billion dollar adult entertainment industry, the Roman Catholic Church and visitors to The Shops in Mission Viejo. The AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) hosted a press conference, protest and rally Monday night in front of Larry Flynt's

  Perhaps this art photo by Nick Gaines is an example of the porn the newspaper company is trying to hide.​Orange County Register business writer Mary Ann Milbourn boldly got out front of the story about her corporate overlords at Irvine-based Freedom Communications being accused of trying to keep documents away from their creditors. "Freedom Communications Inc. is throwing up roadblocks in its bankruptcy case by designating more than 1 million documents as confidential, including a Dodgers base
