How Bad Does That Suck?
A 25-year-old waitress who turned down a job providing "sexual services'' at a brothel in Berlin faces possible cuts to her unemployment benefit under laws introduced this year.
Prostitution was legalised in Germany just over two years ago and brothel owners - who must pay tax and employee health insurance - were granted access to official databases of jobseekers. - Telegraph

Island of Dr. Moreau Revisited
"Chinese scientists at the Shanghai Second Medical University in 2003 successfully fused human cells with rabbit eggs. The embryos were reportedly the first human-animal chimeras successfully created. They were allowed to develop for several days in a laboratory dish before the scientists destroyed the embryos to harvest their stem cells.
In Minnesota last year researchers at the Mayo Clinic created pigs with human blood flowing through their bodies.
And at Stanford University in California an experiment might be done later this year to create mice with human brains. " National Geographic
Let us not forget Dr. Mafesto of South Park, Colorado with his groundbreaking work on the four-assed monkey.

Too Funny
A handful of wrestlers at Crater and Grants Pass high schools have been diagnosed with herpes, athletic directors at both schools confirmed Thursday.
The Crater wrestlers apparently contracted the viral infection while competing at a tournament in Fresno, Calif., Dec. 11-12 and then spread the disease to the Grants Pass team when they met for a dual match on Dec. 16, Crater athletic director John Beck said. - Ashland Daily Tidings

Current Vehicle Playlist
- Jerry Reed - The Essential Jerry Reed (Blame Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for this one, Molliwogg got one whiff of Amos Moses and that's all she wrote. Also contains Eastbound & Down from Smokey & The Bandit.)
- U2 - How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb (Why yes, if everybody jumped off a cliff, I would too. Why do you ask?)
- Moby - Animal Rights ("The way you touch me baby you know it makes me whole, when your fucking me it powers up my soul." Brutal.)
- Van Halen - 1984 (The last true Van Halen album, definite hints of the muzak inspired crap that Van Hagar would come to be known for-boring the hell out of millions of fans in the process. Home to my favorite all-time Van Halen song, I'll Wait.)
- Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication (IMO this is easily the best album they've ever made.)
- Social Distortion - Sex, Love & Rock-n-Roll (Not the best album they ever made, but still pretty good.)
- Meat Loaf - Like a Bat Out of Hell ("...and like a sinner before the gates of heaven, I'll come crawling on back to you..." I've been listening to this way to much lately.)
- David Bowie - Sound & Vision I
- Rocky Horror Picture Show - Soundtrack ("Rose tints my world, keeps me safe from trouble and pain.")
- Control Machete - Solo Para Fanaticos (Despite having no idea what they're saying, this album is suprisingly addictive.)
- Bruce Springsteen - Born In the U.S.A. ("I had a job, I had a girl, I had something going mister in this world, I got laid off down at the lumber yard, Our love went bad, times got hard, Now I work down at the carwash, Where all it ever does is rain, Don't you feel like you're a rider on a downbound train?" Sound familiar?)
- The Muppet Show - 25th Anniversary Compilation (Muppets Uber Alles)
- Morphine - The Night (R.I.P. Mark Sandman)
- Megadeth - Hidden Treasures ("Engaged in crime I grasp my throat, enraged my mind starts to smoke, enforce a mental overload, angry again.")
- Nirvana - Nevermind (Thirteen years already?)
- Chris Isaak - Forever Blue (I highly recommend seeing Chris Isaak in concert.)
- Monster Magnet- compilation (Mostly live tracks and songs from God Says No.)
- Cleveland Rocks - Music From The Drew Carey Show ("Cause it's a five o'clock world...")
- Bloodhound Gang - Hooray For Boobies ("Would I be a good messiah with my low self-esteem? If I don't believe in myself, would that be blasphemy?")
- Just Say Noel - Compilation
- Foetus - Sink (In an alternate universe J.G. Thirwell is Elvis.)
- Michael Franti - Live at the Baobab (Spoken word, with a full band.)
- Black Flag - Wasted...Again
- Johnny Cash - Classic Cash ("I don't like it but I guess things happen that way.")
- Hair - Soundtrack
- Santana - The Best Of (Santana may be great and all, but let's not forget he gave birth to Journey. That's nearly unpardonable.)
- Alice Donut - Buckets Full of Sickness & Horror in an Otherwise Meaningliess Life ("I want to believe but you just make me sneer, cause it's the same emotions they use to sell me beer with.")

Kicking & Screaming b/w C'Ya Qwest
Kicking and screaming I have entered the 21st 1/2 Century and got one of them there cell phone things. Whoo hoo. Goodbye land-line, hello cancer!
Speaking of the land-line we're switching over to Vonage within the next month (keeping our original phone number which kicks arse.), ending our tenure as Qwest's bitch. Now if we can just find an alternate source for electricity.
Free at last, free at last, thank god almighty, I'm free at last.

News of the weird
Gingrich thinking about a 2008 presidential run? If you want an indicator of how far to the right this country has swung, this is it pal. Conventional wisdom indicates the only way the Newt who stole Christmas would even think there's a shot at the presidency is in some kind of alternate universe. Welcome to Bizarro World ladies and gents. Course the Democrats could try the whole tried and true run-a-dead-guy routine, with both candidates out of the picture maybe we could get someone qualified to fill the position.
It's nice to see Portland getting a shout-out in the headlines. Those who watch the evening news have no doubt bore witness to the interview with the aunt of the friend of the second cousin twice removed from the newsmaker. Everything has a local spin to the point of absurdity. Leonard Thomas Bayard, proud owner of the Gulfstream jet that's been flying detainees to the latest torture hot-spots, has made an honest woman out of the Rose City with a legitimate connection to the national news. Problem is, the local Portland businessman doesn't seem to exist.

Politics, American Style
WASHINGTON - Tinkering with a tradition that goes back to Thomas Jefferson, House members in the new Congress will be able to refer to senators by name on the floor - as long as they don't get too personal.
They will no longer have to speak of "the other body" or face admonishment from the chair when they slip up and utter the word "Senate" or name a senator. - Yahoo
How stupid is that?
You Say You Want A Revolution?
Revolution is not something fixed in ideology, nor is it something fashioned to a particular decade. It is a perpetual process embedded in the human spirit. - Abbie Hoffman
