road.jpg James McGreevey's Confession: Former New Jersey Governor will appear on Oprah this fall. Admits he cruised rest stops for sex: "All I knew was that my behavior was getting crazier and crazier. With each new encounter, I was getting nearer and nearer to being caught - which surely would have generated headlines, especially after I became executive director of the state parole board. The closet starves a man, and when he gets a chance he gorges till it sickens him."

  3. Hi,

    Did you also read a related article about the Norwegian Foreign Directorate (UDI)?

    http://www.aftenposten.no/english/local/article1324807.ece

    People are already complaining that gays are getting 'special treatment'. The UDI will reverse their policy any day now, and we will look just plain foolish.

  4. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the Catholic Church substitute "other forms or institutions" for the family of clergy and nuns?

    Not that there's anything wrong with that!
