Action Wisconsin wins "frivolous lawsuit" brought by homophobic Louisiana pastor who claimed the group defamed him by saying remarks he made at a 2003 Milwaukee conference advocated the murder of gays. You be the judge: "In his speech, Storms said gay rights' opponents should --quote-- 'start taking it to the streets.' He mimicked gun fire: --saying, quote-- "Boom, boom, boom, boom. There's twenty! Ca-ching.'"

So far, gay issues largely absent from Alito hearings: "Only two senators – Charles Schumer (D-New York) and Sam Brownback (R-Kansas) – acknowledged a gay specific case in the first two days of the hearing. Both referred to the 1985 Bowers v. Hardwick decision, upholding sodomy laws, and the 2003 decision in Lawrence v. Texas, which overturned Bowers. But neither asked Alito a question concerning the cases."

>>Andy Warhol spotted in Shreveport.
Guy Pearce is so much more attractive and intelligent than Warhol ever was. Warhol had influence and money. He hired talent, and bought beauty. Pearce is the anti-Warhol in some ways. He has always been a natural beauty, and sought out by people like Warhol, who could only have beauty by buying it.
At 38, Guy is ready for a part like this. Felicia Jollygoodfellow may be dead, but we'll probably see her ghost hanging around the factory. I'd bet on it.
