Page 1 Consider (09/04)

  • Hollywood & Pine: Hunky former CNN Headline News anchor Thomas Roberts made his debut this week on "The Insider." How soon before Pat O'Brien goes on a bender and tries to get this one in the sack? (OIH)

  • Double Standard: Last week's light blogging reminded me of every time Jon Stewart goes away on vacation -- all hell breaks loose in the news. Let's see: Senator Larry Craig unsuccessfully tried to get his rocks off with a man in an airport bathroom in Minneapolis and got booted out of the Senate by his right-wing colleagues. But Senator David Vitter admits to paying for sex with hookers and he gets a round of applause back in the Capitol. (At least it was heterosexual sin.) Why does this make me suddenly want to root for that closet-case sleaze Craig? (Age)

  • The Gay Marriage: There sure was a lot of excitement at the NLGJA conference when word got around that the courts had ruled that gays could marry Iowa. Little did we know they meant just two gays. (ABC)


  • Broken Home: "Brokeback Mountain" costars Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams have separated. I wonder if she got tired of doggy-style, too. I don't know which is more sad: that they have a daughter or that they live in Brooklyn. (People)

  • Rod Majors: French athlete Romain Mesnil took home the silver medal in the worldwide championship in Osa. Just your luck: pole vaulting is his specialty. (ACDG)


  • 2007 or 1957? A video used to teach junior school students about diverse families will no longer be shown after some parents mounted an aggressive campaign against if for including a depiction of same-sex couples. The Evesham Township School District, in southern New Jersey, voted 7-1 to discontinue using the video, "That's a Family," because had so divided the community. It will be replaced with "That's a Fucked-Up School District." (365Gay)

  • Anticipation: The officials at the U.S. Open sure couldn't have asked for higher drama than the Tommy Haas vs. James Blake match yesterday, when the three-hours-plus thriller came to a disputed call settled with an instant replay in the fifth-set tiebreaker. (Ticker)


  • Six-Pack Abs: Who is the serial killer drowning all of those hot young men in Wisconsin? It's none other than Mr. Bud Weiser. (AP)


  • No Girl Fight Tonight: Finally, a woman who doesn't hate Hillary Clinton. (AP) Now if only Bill could have been Hill's running mate. (AP)

    Uh, Ken, it's "Larry" Craig, not "Daniel" Craig. Not that I would ignore Daniel Craig's toe-tapping in the men's room....

    You must be very excited about Roddick v. Federer?

    Yeah, Ken, I agree...that wasn't so cool what you said about Brooklyn (especially since you're not from NYC). Which makes me wonder.....where do you think would be a superior place to live?

    Larry...Daniel...who cares. I'm from Idaho and even I don't care about the homo-hater hypocrite!

    Uhhh....Ken, is that why you're too tired to answer the Brooklyn question?

    Just a little ribbing about Brooklyn, come on! I'll take Manhattan (obviously) ... :-)

    Obviously. But I see much hotter guys throughout Brooklyn. They look like they still have some testosterone. (Just a little ribbing about Manhattan). And I'm sure your parents were decent people who taught you it's rude to move to a city and then make fun of its inhabitants.
