Re: Occupy Wall Street
I most highly recommend everyone at least go down and take a walk through the park, even though with all the people and chaos that isn't too easy to do. It just FEELS really good. You will not regret your time there. Here is a direct link to a map of the park, including closest train stops (use the map zoom in for more detail ), since it is not a well known site to most:...

Thank you for the video... I hope all of those psychopath cops eat "BK Ultimate Breakfast Platter" every morning and become sick very soon then they might get a clue of how corrupted our society is. Somehow, it is legal to sell a breakfast platter that contains 2,490mg of sodium though it is exceeding gov. suggested daily value of sodium. By selling such poisonous product at their over 7,000 stores in the U.S., BK's CEO has been receiving the total compensation of over $15 million. Darla,...

Now that the adolescent Drudge Report view of the world (delusionally preoccupied with thoughts of scabies, defecation, deviant sex crimes) has been exposed irrevocably as lies, it is interesting to see Bloomberg now expose himself as being completely unmayoral.He's fine when he's chaperoneing a multi-billion dollar mega development of the west side rail yards in Chelsea or cutting massive tax breaks for his cronies on Wall Streeet. But when he has to deal with a social dilemma he outs...

Just back from Occupy Union Square after a most moving late afternoon - above all the sight of the OCCUPY LIBRARY being pushed about in carts by guerilla librarians. Fantastic to see the high school kids out en masse and THOUSANDS in Union Square. Inspiring, wonderful.

If your employer thinks you're bullshit, perhaps you are. If you don't like your employer, work for another or start your own business. Or you could have a centralized economy where you have none of the above choices.

I guess everytime the chant went up in the park that "FOX NEWS LIES!", there was a latent apprehension of a fact, people who watch Fox News have been statistically proven to know less than people who do not watch any news at all ! http://publicmind.fdu.edu/2011/knowless/ http://slatest.slate.com/posts...or_news_stories.html So now that we have a nation running on debt instead of capital, we have a news company that instaed of informing people keeps them dumb.

Re: Occupy Wall Street
I believe that, Seven. I used to date a guy whose all of his relatives were R. He warned me about it but, anyway I attended his American-Catholic Family Xmas Eve gathering for the first time expecting to see things I watched in the movies. Then what I saw in their nice traditional house were the scenes from John Waters movies. The most insane one was the comment his sister in law made during the after dinner family chat time in front of a fire place. She said we (U.S.) should drop an atomic...

Seven, We have a nation running on debt because of transfer payments, quite the progressive liberal agenda, don't you think? Perhaps people should be encouraged to contribute rather than be entitled? Or is that too radical an idea? And yes Maki, Fox News openly supports dropping nukes on Iraq. Go back to sleep now. Love, DD

Re: Neighborhood Characters
I often run into the Naked Cowboy at parties. He gets hired for a lot of private events. He really makes me cringe. Nice guy but I just hate that he's the fake version of a NY character. Anyone know the tranny who used to sell things outside of Love Saves The Day? She seems to have inherited their van and still sells stuff (in warmer weather) on St Marks place.

Re: Sex With Taxi Drivers part 2
So last night, I went to have my hair done for Wigstock. It turned out that my friend Creighton who does my hair was having a film documentary done about doing the wigs for this final festival (he also does Bunny's, Linda's, etc). So unlike our ususal hair sessions, this one was fueled by champagne. Somehow my glass kept getting filled, and well, I had had quite a bit while my wig was being fluffed, teased, etc. More to the point, I became lushy loose lips, and dished myself as well as...

Re: Straight To Hell (Sex Stories)
Walked into the mensroom at Union Station in Washington DC and was pissing at the urinal when a small deminutive white man about 35 wearing glasses and an ill-fitting suit shuffled up to the urinal next to me and unzipped his fly. Reeling out an extremely over-sized ( both in length and girth) cock, he let it swing loose and it came to rest on the edge of the urinal. Pissing like a racehorse and moaning loadly at the same time, he glanced over at me and smiled. I commented on the amazing...
