WASHINGTON – This week the President’s overly tightened sphincter caused him to expel a diamond from his ass. It also resulted in this news item.

Christ, man, leave people alone. If two men or two women want to get married then just let them. What’s next from this uptight, puritanical regime?

Single scenes that made me like a movie:

• The waltz set to David Bowie’s Golden Years in A Knight’s Tale.
• The fight scene in Gangs of New York that was playing atop a dark, electronic beat.
• Jack Black as Barry Jive and the Uptown Five/Sonic Death Monkey performing Marvin Gaye’s Let’s Get It On.

It looks like I liked all of them because the music in the scene would not actually be thought of as fitting into the movie.

There are two new photos available in the convenient size of 1024×768. One could use them as a desktop wallpaper if one were so inclined.

Here are a Zebra Longwing and a hibiscus flower.
