- Commenting on an Eliot Spitzer whore scandal is vaguely as exciting than reading about the intricacies of trade negotiations — and also, somewhat less important — but I had to point out this quote from a source close to Kristin "Billie" Davis (who "hails from a rough-in-tumble California trailer park.") "She personally interfaced with Spitzer a number of times." Wow, "interface." That used to be corporate jargon for "talked to" and now it is being used to denote... bareback anal. [NYP]
- "His sex appeal lies in being a successful businessman and politician. Women like a guy who is in control, and a man who knows what he wants." That's the editor-in-chief of Playgirl on why she'd like to land Eliot Spitzer for a cover shoot incorporating a young woman in a Girls Gone Wild T-shirt. I know; you're creaming just thinking of interfacing with it right? [US]
- Wait, speaking of: raunchy outtakes from the Abercrombie & Fitch catalog are now being sold as a $200 "art" book. [NYP]
- Wait, no, really speaking of, Barack Obama was interviewed by Maria Bartiromo, who tried to paint him as some sort of Hugo Chavez character by baiting him with a question about the Fed's bailout of Bear, to which he said, "Well, I wasn't privy to Bear Stearns' balance sheet." He doesn't sound like a socialist! [CNBC]
- A fifteen year old in the UK has been found guilty of beating a woman to death because she was goth. [BBC]
- Oh, great, now the enemies decide to register their discontent with the our invasion of the Iraq in a peaceful manner? What's next, hunger strikes? [NYT]
- Foreigners on the election: Germany wants the "Black Kennedy" because they are "romantic" that way; Mexicans like Hillary because NAFTA was good for them, Chinese like HIllary because NAFTA was good for them too, Israelis distrust Obama and Muslims in the Middle East think he can't win because "his middle name is like mine." [WSJ]
- What cocktail will be the Next Cosmo? The cognac industry is hard at work on it. But it won't be easy. "Brand promotional pamphlets and in-house recipe books are cemeteries of forgotten drinks." Ah, life. It is such struggle. [WSJ]
- Gubernatorial corruption etc.: now also in Puerto Rico! [NYT]
- So that was "ten days that changed capitalism," we just don't really know how exactly. [WSJ]

The Next Cosmo is Beer.
That lady seriously looks like a Real Doll. Not in a good, bad, or creepy way, she just looks like she's made out of plastic.

*headsplode*
just read on just jared (that sounds funny) that they are thinking about making "the hills" into a movie. my industry is so fucking desperate
Well clearly Obama should have interfaced with someone from Bear Stearns.
I thought "interface" meant when you have sex with Data from Star Trek?
@Ptarmigan: Exactly. Interfacing is alien sex.
That story from the UK is sad. Damn hooligans.
@Ptarmigan: That's getting to third base. "Clearing your cache" is going all the way.
@andBegorrah:
So then what are cookies?
@bess marvin, girl detective: A movie version of the Hills? So, instead of a half-hour of awkward silences in various settings, there will be two hours? Hmm. Sounds like Oscar material to me (are they running out of ideas?!).
The next Cosmo? I'm putting my money on something fruity, pink, and "cute." Seriously, when I was bartending, I could have dyed toilet water pink, tossed an umbrella in it, called it a "cuntini" and girls would have beat each other down for one. Stupid cosmos. Give me a fucking beer.
@Ptarmigan: Well, he is fully functional...
@nerdsausage is white male privilege: Yeah, that was my first thought too. Though I find it scary.
While I hate the chain of Abercrombie & Fitch, I adore the work of Bruce Weber. His photography has such a cheerful, glowing, healthy homoerotism. It puts the happy back in gay. Back issues of the hardcover catalogs of for A&F's Rhuel store are starting to sell for collectible art book prices.
Still, I'm not surprised that some people would find his work a bit threatening. There's a lot of people who aren't ready for all American homosexuality.
@Ptarmigan: the only time i've heard "interfaced" is in Sixteen Candles...Farmer Ted.
ps - maybe i haven't been following this closely enough, but he's into bareback anal? i knew about the bareback, but not the anal component. hmmm.
ew.
@nerdsausage is white male privilege: Yeah, her eyes are really creepily plastic looking. Along with everything else.
I wish Eugene O'Neill were still alive so he could write a play starring Eliott and Silda Spitzer in "A Night Home Alone."
Spitzer looks like a giggling elf-boy ready to be smothered by GIGANTIC boobies on the NYP cover...what an ass. I'm not a great fan of Playgirl, but SURELY they have higher standards than an elf-boy spread.
For what it's worth, Japan seems to love Obama. Probably mostly because it's easier to say than "Hillary." Hirrary? Hillaly?
For reals though, there's a town called Obama here and they're big on Barry. They hope if he wins, it will revitalize their town with tourism. I think they mail him good luck presents and stuff.
@Scarfy: ::blank stare::
@ceejeemcbeegee (comment impaired): Guess I'm the only commenter who completely passed on the Spitzer thing and was just interested in what foreigners think of who should be the next president of the U.S.
Either that or I grew another head overnight. I was on a really spectacular bender, so I wouldn't be surprised.
@Scarfy: I think it was the "Engrish" joke that rubbed the wrong way.
Not to step on any toes, ceejeemcbeegee (star deficient).
@andBegorrah: ... it wasn't a joke. I teach English at a Japanese high school. Some of my coworkers and students seriously have a very difficult time with l's and r's. One of my students is extremely proficient in English, but couldn't say "rapidly" in a speech contest to save her life. I told her to just say it really fast and hope no one would notice. She got third place.
rowr
are there issues with the comments again?
Got it back....OK - Has anyone seen "The Hills" remake on Heavy.com? They use retirement aged folks to reenact scenes. Awesome!
@Scarfy: I have a friend from Japan who speaks English beautifully but spells ladybug "radybug."
Wow, Eliot Spitzer had sex with Amanda Lepore. That is hardcore.
Can I comment again? Yes? Okay...
Re: A fifteen year old in the UK has been found guilty of beating a woman to death because she was goth. [BBC]
Fucking Chavs....
@cde:
I was going to say that hours ago! But agreed; fucking chavs.
