MOSCOW 5/28/09 - When a Russian woman was rebuffed in her marriage proposal, she then got her boyfriend drunk at their breakup dinner and proceeded to detonate fireworks on his penis. She now faces 12 years imprisonment. {metro}

LONG ISLAND 6/4/09 - A deli owner who made headlines when he showed mercy to a would be robber by brandishing his rifle and then giving the failed-con a loaf of bread and $40, was busted only 2 weeks later for selling weed pipes in his store. So much for compassionate care. {daily news}

A recent study states that 50% of women have used a vibrator and more than 45% of men have incorporated them into their sex lives. Granted the study was done by Trojan Condoms, but here's to vibrating pleasure!

In honor of India overturning their gay sex ban:

For the ex-Vice President who could call you an unpatriotic piece of terrorist liberal shit without breaking a sweat, Dick Cheney has been on the speaking circuit recently and lo and behold, hell has frozen over:

Cheney essentially admits that our original pretense for the Iraq War was false: "I do not believe and have never seen any evidence to confirm that [Hussein] was involved in 9/11."

Now if that wasn't weird enough, in the SAME speech he actually throws his support to gay marriage:

"I think, you know, freedom means freedom for everyone," Cheney said in a speech at the National Press Club. "I think people ought to be free to enter into any kind of union they wish, any kind of arrangement they wish."

Cheney, whose daughter is gay, thinks it should be a state issue.
