A 1000 word picture
Our soldiers returning from the war
Russ has posted 361 photographs of flag-draped coffins at Dover Air Force Base.
If you are guilty of becoming just a little anesthetized about the war, this
will wake you up.
L Word Withdrawl
For those who can’t seem to get enough; another good rant
about The L Word. It seems that the author, Kristina Campbell, is going through
some post-season withdrawl. Me, I just switched teams to Queer As Folk; it’s
time to see what the guys have been up to (I was so glad when they bailed out
Brian...and he accepted the help!).
Cheers...
I have lately been getting into martinis. Not the traditional gin and olive
variety, but rather the ‘flavored’ martinis. I have begun polling
my drink mixing friends for their favorite recipes. Right now, my main obsession
is the Hypnotiq martini (two parts Hypnotiq, one part vodka). It is divine!
If you have a favorite, please e-mail me; I’d love to post them in the
future.
I have to mention this....
Last week when I read the names of the porn stars that were possibly infected
in the HIV outbreak in their industry, I was hit with the strangeness of it.
True, the published names were their ‘screen names’, but even so,
it is their moniker; and as such, it is a gross invasion of privacy. Even if
you disagree with their line of work, I ask that you think about the precidence
that is being made by reporting their names. If your medical record was opened
and made public, and your name was plastered all over the news in relation to
a scary disease, wouldn’t you feel violated?
In an article
at the LA Voice, Mack Read says that AIM (Adult Industry Medical Health Care
Foundation) "may have done a wrong thing for all the right reasons, but
without considering all the legal and ethical consequences." In our rush
to report the news, I think we have stepped over the line of legality and good
taste.
