Hinges On Your Definition of "Sex Ed" I'd Guess
Brazil's president has suspended the production and distrabution of films dubbed "anti-homophobia kits".
From the headline on the BBC site, I thought these films could be anything from softcore gay films to a warning on what to do to not get a prolapsed anus.

Scott Walker: Douche

Three Questions & a Quote
1) How well do you know your online friends?
2) Do you know which members of Congress actually support our troops and our veterans and which use them for political football?
3) Should there not be some kind of safety net to keep our veterans from being homeless?
"When Johnny went off to war, we said nothing was too good for him, and, by golly, when he came back, nothing was just what we gave him!"

Super-injunction Super-unenforcable
UK's "super-injunctions" to cover Facebook and Twitter.
How would that work? Force me to become a UK citizen? Convince the US to pass such a law (that would be shot down by the Supreme Court)?

This Mislikes Me
Eric Prince, founder of Blackwater/Xe, is building a mercenary army in and for the United Arab Emirates to defend those autocratic regimes against the current wave of popular democratic uprisings swelling in the Middle East.
If I was inclined to believe the Christian mythology, I'd name Eric Prince the Anti-Christ now. He smells right to me, and, if memory serves, he might also qualify for the name under one of Nostradamus' prophecies.

You've Got To Be Kidding
At a gas station near mny work, they sell a male sexual aid that promises to work up to three days. Um, yeah, I dare say that would be rather annoying well before the end of the first day, even by me.

Wear a Thaddle, Thilly!
J. Michael Straczynski on Thor, as a young fan, the writer of the comic book, and a contributor to the Thor movie.
(Said the viking, leaping on to the horse, "I'm Thor!" Said the horse, "Then wear a thaddle, thilly!")

Crossing the Equator
Sodomy: Approved!
Jim McDonald on Naval chaplains given the go ahead to perform same sex marriages.
Aliens vs Dinosaurs
Barry Sonnenfield will direct Dominion: Dinosaurs Versus Aliens based on a Grant morrison script.
Cowboys vs aliens. Dinosaurs vs aliens. I need to write the Strawberry Shortcake vs aliens script. Or My Pretty Pony. Or Care Bears.

Carl Sagan wanted aliens to think the Earth was an interplanetary gay disco, which may explain the anal probes.
Carl Sagan's orbitting disco message sphere has been up since 1976. Since then, other nations have launched Laegos as well.

Blood and sould for my lord Arioch!
Missed picking up Elric: The Balance Lost on FCBD. It's a lead in to the series of the same name by Chris Roberson based on Michael Moorcock's character. Linking to it so I can refer back to it if I need to once the series starts this July.
Sailing the Lakes of Titan
NASA is considering plans to send a floating probe to a lake in Titan's northern hemisphere, Ligeia Mare. The lakes are a mixture of methane and ethane and keep to a temperature of -180 °C. The probe would be launched in 2016 and reach Titan seven years later in 2023.
Fracking is Fracked
Shale gas drilling contaminates drinking water with seventeen times the level of methane.
Not surprising, when fracture drilling has been known to make well water flammable.

Okay, Jenni, You asked for it
Melanie Notkin is a PANK (Professional Aunt No Kids). She talks to Liane Hanson of NPR about Savvy Auntie (among other things).
"Life doesn't come with rules ... and yet as we spend more and more time with the children in our lives, we want to make sure that we can be the best support for the parent and the best aunt for our nieces and nephews."

Coming Soon: No-Drive Lists
Senator Schumer proposes a "No-Ride List" for Amtrack.
Even if you ignore the curtailment of liberties, a "No-Ride List" works like a "No-Fly List" in giving terrorists exactly what they want. Modern travel and communications works against any extremist movement to take all of us back a few centuries to more agrarian times.
