"Rj stuck him in head first. He wasn't too excited about it. I was laughing too hard to actually ensure all of Drake was in the frame."

Liberace and Edward R. Murrow

Image
Tacit defense of gay marriage, notice how very deftly Liberace chooses his words: Edward R. Murrow: Have you given much thought to getting married and eventually settling down? Liberace: Well, actually I have. Ed. I've given a lot of thought to marriage, but I don't believe in getting married just for the sake of getting married. I want to someday find the perfect mate and settle down to what I hope will be a marriage that will be blessed by faith and will be a lasting union.

Royal glam and glitter enough to make him switch teams? This DVD set is a remarkable 3-disc collection of historic 1950s material.

Beautiful and sensual. Dancers: Marjorie Grundvig and Lee Bell. YouTube video by eogmi24.

Yesterday she launched her blog, Boulder Crecian , so we're both off and running. Check it out! * * * My thinking hasn't been very cohesive the last several days, so my blog has been all photos and background music. Too many distractions, an attention span too short. I meant to file a lawsuit against the United States Congress for abdicating their power to declare war and ceding it to a clearly incompetent president, such a glaring violation of the Constitution. The case is a slam dunk, really...but I had laundry and dishes to do. And since Clinton Proposes Vote to Reverse Authorizing War , I hope there's some progress on the issue without my help. The article says: Mostly, Mrs. Clinton appeared to be trying to claim a new leadership position among the Democratic presidenti
