MONOGAMOUS: The latest video from NYC downtown band Whore's Mascara.
CHRIS CHRISTIE: Anti-gay NJ gubernatorial candidate loves GWB: "There's no mystery to the fact that I was appointed to this job because, in part, I had a relationship with the President of the United States. Anybody who receives a political appointment -- I am a political appointee -- there's going to be some measure of politics involved with that appointment."

i listened to a couple of whore's mascara's tracks on their myspace page and found them mildly enjoyable until that chick started screeching with that overly shrill voice of hers.

A little embarrassed for Bill Maher on this one.

Thank you Sen. Specter for speaking the plain truth.
Also, great cover story in WIRED re: vaccine myths and dangers of non-vaccination.

I actually agree with Maher to a certain extent. Viruses are mutating into stronger and stronger strains in direct correlation to our vaccine-enhanced immunity to them. There's no end to it. Most Europeans feel that we overvaccinate here in America. In fact, a lot of the vaccines that we use are banned outright over there. We're so paranoid against nature and our body's own natural immune system. But I do think it's a good thing we have the option to have this vaccine. I'm still sitting on the fence myself.
