Robert Bouslaugh had his reasons for dropping out of the race for sheriff in Durango, Colo. Everything was hunky dory with the campaign for Robert--or should that be Roberta?--until September when he allegedly shot a man to death after the man stole his purse as he was leaving an adult bookstore. Yes, Bouslaugh was dressed as a woman at the time. He said he was working undercover.
So it was a case of "Was I Shot by the Sheriff, or Was I Shot by his Debutante."
Which begs the question, "Was Bouslaugh in the bookstore genuflecting in slingbacks and chain-smoking fat pink cigars?"
I don't know and I don't care.
So let's recap: This cross-dressing sheriff wannabe walks out of a dirty bookstore, gets his purse snatched, then allegedly shoots the perp …
… And my question is: How can you NOT vote for someone like this? Wouldn't you want Divine as sheriff of your town?

L. Dennis Kozlowski, the former chief executive at Tyco International, had a habit of charging things to the company, including two New York City apartments, and a Boca Raton, Fla., house ( over $50 million in all ) . However, his most interesting purchase was the 40th birthday party in Sardinia he organized for his wife ( a cool $2.1 million ) . Now, that's what I call a party!!
One interesting feature at the party was a statue of a man pissing out Stoli vodka through his penis.
I'm not going into some left-wing moralistic diatribe here about "corporate waste while people are starving in the world."
If you could work your way into the position where you had $2.1 million to spare, you'd have a big party, too, so let's not kid ourselves.
My gripe with L. Dennis Kozlowski is not the waste of investors' money, but that he bought a "statue" to piss Stoli vodka when I would have done the job for free!
Can't you see me standing there butt-naked swigging from a bottle of Stoli and pissing it out into the glasses of the rich and powerful? That would have been my dream job …
… So fuck you Kozlowski!!

The Minneapolis Star Tribune thinks it has its finger on the button with this item: "'Gaydar,' the unspoken cues between gay men, isn't a recent discovery. When Oscar Wilde met Walt Whitman, the much-older Whitman looked Wilde in the eye and then, before saying anything, kissed him on the lips."
Duh! It didn't take Gaydar to see Oscar Wilde was gay, he was a big screaming Nelly Queen.

Poor Britney Spears, as if her music wasn't enough of a joke already, now her Manhattan restaurant, Nyla, has been cited by the New York City Department of Health for twice violating guidelines.
Apparently, Britney's cans were "swollen, leaking, and severely rusted." Nothing a little plastic surgery couldn't put right.

The Associated Press reports that in Raleigh, N.C., Rodney Brent Hodge, 39, has been charged with extortion for allegedly luring six Marines for sex, then threatening to tell their families and superiors unless they had sex with him again.
The Marines, aged 18 to 22, were liquored up and then offered hundreds of thousands of dollars, plus a new truck, in exchange for sex. No money was handed over. ( And they believed him, huh? )
Hodge secretly videotaped the encounters.
Whereas no right-thinking person would condone extortion, Hodge does get 10 out of 10 for showing up the 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy for what it truly is: a crock of shit.
There's no middle ground on this, a man who has sex with a man is called a homosexual. So these Marines were all supposed to be straight … yeah, straight to the bedroom.

Dog Story of the Week: A federal judge in New York has rejected a Tommy Hilfiger lawsuit against the makers of Timmy Holedigger; a perfume for dogs. Apparently, Hilfiger thought the general public would be confused by the two products: Holedigger and Hilfiger ...
... I guess if you can't read …
... which Hilfiger had said was a threat to its trademark in that consumers were likely to confuse the two products. ( The Holedigger people also make Pucci dog cologne but haven't yet heard from Gucci. )
