From a gun thread
Smeggy Smurf: I’ve been in situations when having a sidearm would have resulted in less violence. A citizen’s arrest on the drunk for attempting to steal my truck would have been preferable to leaving him on the ground with his skull split open, bleeding profusely, as my co-worker and I hauled ass out of there. Or leaving a drunk with a broken sternum in an apartment parking lot...

Raquel Welch: ‘I think Mae West was a man’
Movie beauty Raquel Welch has her suspicions that Mae West was a drag queen after getting up close and personal to the silver-screen icon during one of West’s final films, “Myra Beckinridge.”

The Best Enemies Money Can Buy
“Oct. 9, 2001 - Since the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, major media powerhouses and the increasingly influential alternative media alike have begun to focus attention on Bush family connections and a long history of arming and financing America’s attackers in the months and years prior to the outbreak of war.
