I’ve now seen something in real life that I only associated with the 70s in America.
Fuel shortages.
Last Monday truck drivers in Spain decided to protest high fuel prices by going on strike. If it were America, they would have formed a picket line in front of a gas station and that would have […]
Ok, this post might be too NSFW for some, but I’m not going to cross any lines that haven’t been crossed on my blog before.
British-Swedish Penis News Like Dan Savage, I’d never heard of Basshunter (or Basshunter myspace), but this young, cute, Swedish pop-star who’s doing well in Britain, has news for the world: […]
From a CNN Article:
The masseuse who discovered Ledger’s body at the apartment at 421 Broome St. in SoHo called actress Mary-Kate Olsen, a friend of Ledger’s, twice before calling 911, a police source with knowledge of the investigation said.

Every once in awhile, something happens in the States that I end up having to explain.
Sometimes I can, some times I cannot, and usually have to resort to explaining that I don’t understand the wackiness of Americans.

Above the fold there […]
