Lord knows, that if there's one thing I find even less appealing to think about than Rush Limbaugh, it's Rush Limbaugh genitals. So when the story broke that Rush had been busted at the airport with a questionable stash of Viagra while returning from the Dominican Republic (which I now understand is a major sex tourism vacation spot– who knew?), I couldn't imagine wanting to read anything about this story, unless it ended with a new mug shot for Limbaugh. But I'd underestimated the skills
Saddle Sores: Supervisor John Moorlach hasn't been in office long but he could be the most revolutionary county politician since . . . well . . . we haven't had any revolutionary politicians on the board of supervisors. On Friday, Moorlach announced plans to cut pension benefits retroactively for certain members of the Orange County sheriff's deputies union. He says the payments are an illegal gratuity of as much as $500 million in local taxpayer funds. Peggy Lowe at the Register posted two use
Bill Cosby raging about his colonoscopies and Viagra took me by surprise.
Well known for his conservative, family-friendly stand up, Cosby has tweaked his act since the 1980s. But don’t get me wrong, this was no raunchy comedy. It was refreshing to hear Cosby sing the Viagra Tune "Doot doot doot, Bob is living large!!!” in between his Christian-themed jokes.

And yes, I'm up prior to the crack of dawn to get them to you. The biggest surprise, if you can call it that, is the strong showing by MICHAEL CLAYTON, with six nominations. Not so surprisingly, THERE WILL BE BLOOD and NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN each have eight.
Via CNN, because it announced even before the official Oscar site:
The nominees for best picture are "No Country for Old Men," "There Will Be Blood," "Atonement," "Juno" and "Michael Clayton."
JUNO? Really? Just goes to show there's a ri
The future is now; the future is Marijuana Vending Machines. Technically termed PVMs, or Prescription Vending Machines, and now available at Herbal Nutrition Center in LA, the similarity between these and candy or soda machines ends at the name. They're installed behind secure dispensary doors, only dispense medication (including anti-depressants or Viagra) according to an individual's specific prescription as recorded on RFID-tagged cards, and exist to reduce pharmacy overhead rather than make
Spencer Kornhaber / OCWElvin Bishop came into the crowd! He's old.Last Weekend: Doheny Blues FestivalBetter Than: A cloudy day at the beach without alcohol.As mentioned in the brief preview, I don't know anything about blues music. High-brow critic types like to say that pop and rock are where "The Culture" is centered at the moment, and if that's true than I guess I'm a drone of The Culture. But I can hear the Doheny Blues Fest from my house; the last time I went, I was probably 15 -- but I do
Andrew YoussefTrent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Irvine, May 21, 2009.For the last few months, Trent Reznor has been interacting with Nine Inch Nails fans (historically an insanely devoted lot) via Twitter, updating them on the happenings of their tour with Jane's Addiction, running ticket giveaway contests, talking about his romance with fiancee Mariqueen Maandig of West Indian Girl and even raising hundreds of thousands of dollars to aid a Nevada fan needing a
