You got my vote
Stormy Daniels, a 30-year-old porn star born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is considering a run for the U.S. Senate, admitting her political ambitions may seem “ludicrous” but insists she’s seriously considering a challenge against incumbent Senator David Vitter.
Daniels, also known as Stormy Waters and simply Stormy, began the exploratory process in May after a group of fans started the website DraftStormy.com which led her to form a “listening tour” in Louisiana last month.
Daniels is not affiliated with a political party but is focusing her tour around Louisiana on the economy, in addition to issues involving women in business and child protection.
She told FOX News on Sunday that she’s still trying to gauge whether “this is something that I want to do, if I’m capable of doing it.” But she said if she makes her run official, she’ll do everything in her power to “make it legit.”
And she suggested the public interest in her candidacy says more about Vitter than it does about her.
A Study that makes sense
Study: More sex may help damaged sperm

LONDON – For men with fertility problems, some doctors are prescribing a very conventional way to have a baby: more sex.
In a study of 118 Australian men with damaged sperm, doctors found that having sex every day for a week significantly reduced the amount of DNA damage in their patients' sperm. Previous studies have linked better sperm quality to higher pregnancy rates.
The research was announced Tuesday at a meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology in Amsterdam.
Dr. David Greening of Sydney IVF, a private fertility clinic in Australia, and colleagues looked at 118 men who had damaged sperm. Greening and colleagues told the men to have sex every day for a week. After seven days, the doctors found that in 81 percent of the men, there was a 12 percent decrease in the amount of damaged sperm.
Many fertility experts suggest men abstain from sex before their partners have in-vitro fertilization, to try to elevate their sperm counts.
Sperm quality can also be improved if men don't smoke, drink moderately, exercise, or get more antioxidants.
Since concluding the study, Greening says he now instructs all couples seeking fertility advice to start by having more sex. "Some of the older men look a little concerned," he said. "But the younger ones seem quite happy about it."
Experts think sex helps reduce the DNA damage in sperm by getting it out of the body quickly; if sperm is in the body for too long, it has a higher chance of getting damaged.
Some experts said that while Greening's research is promising, it doesn't prove that daily sex for men with fertility problems will actually produce more babies.
Greening said he and his colleagues are still analyzing the study data to determine how many women got pregnant.
"Looking at sperm DNA is just one part of the puzzle," said Bill Ledger, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Sheffield, who was not connected to the research. "Maybe this will improve pregnancy rates, but we still need to do more studies."
Ledger said instructing couples with infertility problems to have more sex could stress their relationship. "This may add even more anxiety and do more harm than good," he said. He said couples shouldn't feel pressured to adjust their sex lives just for the sake of having a baby.
Greening said the study's findings were ultimately very intuitive. "If you want to have a baby, our advice is to do it often
Here is the answer to the time old excuse they have a headache or tired. now we can say hey if you dont want no retarded babies later in life you got to give me the booty now help the DNA along

July?
So the weekend wasn't a total loss in terms of the weather. It was bright and sunny but now the rain is back...fuck you rain!
Things I learned this weekend:
1. Connecticut's liquor stores are not open on Sundays! WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT? It is 2009 people.
2. There are 293 different ways to make change for a dollar bill.
3. Kathy Griffin is kinda funny, really raunchy but over all her act is like a long winded episode of Talk Soup.
4. Speaking of Kathy Griffin, I wasn't the only dude dragged there by his lady:
You see Kessel has his chest hairs blazing!!
5. CVG has hitched his wagon to team Chrissy in the wingalympics and he is cut throat...watch your backs.
6. Beer + cake is not a very good combo. I think its all that sugar in the frosting.
7. If caught littering in Connecticut you will receive a $219.00 fine. Very random and arbitrary.
8. The rooms at the MGM Grand are really nice.
9. Mrs. Booze is now 31 years of age and she doesn't seem to mind being old!
10. July 4th is this Saturday and still no one has any plans. WTF!

Quote of the Week!!
Lunch
Here at Drunknothings we often start thinking about lunch at 8:00 AM! Usually by 10:30 we have had a discussion about what type of food we want that day:
Italian? Nope!
Chinese? Nope!
Burritos? Nope!
When we finally agree on some place, we order a lunch and go about our day. Well I now have found something to take the discussion and compromise out of the equation.
I show you the WHEEL OF LUNCH! Is there anything better than putting in your zip code and spinning the wheel to see where you should get lunch??
Go ahead try it...it's addictive.

The King is Dead
Michael Jackson Dies
Posted Jun 25th 2009 5:20PM by TMZ Staff
We've just learned Michael Jackson has died. He was 50.
Michael suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon at his Holmby Hills home and paramedics were unable to revive him. We're told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back.
A source tells us Jackson was dead when paramedics arrived. A cardiologist at UCLA tells TMZ Jackson died of cardiac arrest.
Once at the hospital, the staff tried to resuscitate him but he was completely unresponsive.
We're told one of the staff members at Jackson's home called 911.
La Toya ran in the hospital sobbing after Jackson was pronounced dead.
Michael is survived by three children: Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince "Blanket" Michael Jackson II.
Story developing...

Escape is an option...
Inmate uses toilet paper cardboard to escape cell
COLUMBIA, Mo.—Columbia police have captured an inmate who allegedly escaped from the Howard County jail using a cardboard toilet paper holder. Curtis Jones of New Franklin was captured Wednesday afternoon.
Columbia police officers, who were responding to a tip, went to where Jones was believed to be located, but he had fled on foot. Jones was spotted a short time later and taken into custody.
Jones had escaped early Monday. Authorities allege he used the folded cardboard to jam a door lock to his cell and fled when a jailer went to another area in the building.
Jones was detained on a theft charge on suspicion of stealing anhydrous ammonia, a chemical used to manufacture methamphetamine.
He previously escaped in 1996 from the county's old jail in Fayette by climbing through a hole in the ceiling.
I guess you would call this dude resourceful. I mean it isn't the first time he has escaped from jail. I bet when he is at home cooking up methamphetamines, he is thinking of new and exciting ways to escape from jail. Now that I think of it, that sounds like a great idea for a reality show. Escape from Jail!! Put people in jail and have them try and get out. First person out wins some cash. I think it could even be teams. Sounds like a gold mine to me...anyone want to pool our cash together and get this started?

Man kills girlfriend of 2 years after learning she used to be a man
A Russian man has killed the girlfriend that he lived with for two years after finding out that she once was a man.
Vladimir F., 33, from Volgograd in Russia’s Volga Region, met Kamilla during a trip to St. Petersburg, Life.ru website writes. There, a charming young woman, three years his junior, caught his attention.
After they returned to Volgograd they started dating and soon moved in together. Kamila would not talk too much about her past life, but this never bothered her boyfriend.
Two years later, Vladimir proposed but was rejected. Kamilla said she was not ready for such a serious step and needed more time.
The suspicious boyfriend broke into her mailbox to see if she was cheating on him.
He found no traces of infidelity, but was shocked to find out that many of Kamilla’s correspondents addressed her as “Kirill”. The woman turned out to be a transsexual.
Browsing through Kamilla’s letters Vladimir learned how several years ago she traveled to Australia for transgender surgery and became a woman, then changed her papers to become one legally as well.
Unable to handle the revelation, Vladimir took a gun and when his girlfriend came home shot her dead.
After that he wrote a goodbye note saying he could not stand the “betrayal” of his loved one and cut his wrists open, but survived.
Vladimir has been charged with murder and is now awaiting trial at the local pre-trial detention center.
This is why they always tell you to check the plumbing. Even if "Kirill" had the operation to have his cock sliced and diced into a new vagina and he became "Kamilla", Vladimir had to of had an inkling. The facial hair? The adams apple? The hairier than a ladys ass crack? The man hands? The deeper voice? I mean one of these things had to be going on in this dudes world! To top it all off, he shoots him/her but slices his own wrists?
Tuesday...

Richfield — After drinking at least 10 beers at a golf course on state Highway 167 and being left behind by the relatives who brought him there, a South Milwaukee man decided to drive himself the nearly 40 miles back to his home - in a golf cart.
He did not even take the time to throw the empty beer cans out of the cart before hitting the road in the commandeered cart, according to a Washington County Sheriff's Department incident report released Monday.
The man, 47, was arrested Saturday on suspicion of second-offense operating a vehicle while intoxicated after a sheriff's deputy stopped the golf cart the suspect was driving southbound on state Highway 175, the report says.
The man told Deputy Andrew Meier that he was driving back to South Milwaukee after a group of "uncles" abandoned him at Kettle Hills Golf Course on Highway 167.
Meier was responding to a disorderly conduct complaint received at 5:53 p.m. about an intoxicated man on the course when he observed a man driving a cart on Highway 167, the report says. The cart turned southbound onto Highway 175, less than a mile east of the course, without stopping at the stop sign.
After Meier turned on the squad car's emergency lights and air horn, the suspect turned to wave and then pulled the cart onto the shoulder of the highway, according to the report. But the man continued driving the cart.
The deputy then used a siren, and the driver eventually stopped the cart about three-tenths of a mile south of the intersection, the report says, or about a mile from the golf course.
Eight open beer cans were found in the cart. Meier reported that the man's speech was slurred and that his eyes were glassy and bloodshot.
Consumed 10 beers
The man admitted that he had consumed around 10 beers while at the golf course, but that he did not believe he was intoxicated.
The suspect later told Meier that he did not know where he was at the time of the traffic stop and that "he did not even realize he was driving the golf cart on the road until he saw the squad with lights behind him," the report says.
Kettle Hills employees subsequently retrieved the cart.
After the man failed field sobriety tests, a breath test indicated the man had a blood-alcohol level of 0.138. In Wisconsin, a level of 0.08 is evidence that an adult driver is intoxicated.
The man was arrested and taken to the Slinger Police Department, where he agreed to submit to a chemical test of his breath with an Intoximeter. That test indicated a blood-alcohol level of 0.14, the report says.
He was released into his wife's custody.
In addition to the offense of operating a vehicle while intoxicated, the man was ticketed on allegations of open intoxicants in a motor vehicle and failure to stop at a stop sign.
Getting pulled over on the highway is no big deal. So what he was almost double the legal limit? So he stole a golf cart? But failure to stop at a stop sign...that is reprehensible!! I am sure Sunday dinner didn't go over too well either, since his "uncles" left him and he was released into his wife's custody. I didn't know there were different levels off offense for drunk driving. Either you are over the legal limit or you are not? What exactly is the difference between"second-offense operating a vehicle while intoxicated" and "first-offense operating a vehicle while intoxicated"?

Things I learned this weekend:
1. Dogs + beach + salt water = the shits...literally!!
2. Chrissy's garden is growing some nice things:
3. When someone asks for "Narragansett", the proper answer is not "EricHanson" what about him? And I wasn't even drunk.
4. If your son, Jeff Weaver, was pitching against your other son, Jared Weaver, and your ONLY daughter was getting married - where would be? Well Mr. and Mrs. Weaver were at the Dodgers/Angels game...suck that wedding!
5. Chrissy told me "I work part time but I steal full time".
6. Welchie still looking for a new job:
(Law enforcement perhaps?)
7. When you get sponsored by Puma for the US Open - that is your only sponsor. There is no Mastercard, no Oakley, no golf ball companies and no golf club companies on your apparel. Straight Puma homie!
8. This is my newest friend in and around Fenway park:
9. When Chrissy gets it on, doggie style, his Dog likes to sit on his wife's head!
10. Dave is no longer a vegetarian, he has moved onto chicken, turkey and even tried pork(the other white meat).
11. Stubb's BBQ sauces are my new favorite marinades.
12. I am not a fan of NO fat milk.
13. I heard the CageFX fights were good at the Jungleplex.

ESPN
Hey Bucci,
What are your thoughts on Dino Ciccarelli? The man has 608 goals, 592 assists, and 1200 total point over his 19 year career. He currently sits 45th on all time career points list. Why isn't he in the Hall of Fame? Why aren't more people outraged at this?
Thanks
Derek W., Boston
This is my latest attempt to get into John Buccigross' mail bag. I sent this to his email john.buccigross@espn.com, feel free to write him about the NHL and see if you get in the mail bag

Congrats
The Boston Bruins brought home a whole lot of hardware last night from the NHL awards. Claude Julien took home the Jack Adams trophy, for being the top coach in the league. Tim Thomas won the Vezina trophy, for being the top goalie in the league. Then Zdeno Chara topped it off with the Norris trophy, the top defenseman in the league. Great job boys.
Claude taking home the Jack Adams:
Timmy taking home the Vezina:
Big Z taking home the Norris:
Now if we can just take home the Cup next year!

SHORT ON CHICKEN
Hell hath no fury like a chicken lover scorned -- as you'll see in this lawsuit filed by people who are pissed over KFC's free chicken giveaway.
James Asanuma just filed the suit on behalf of KFC fans everywhere, saying the chain's May giveaway was nothing short of a scam to deceive its customers into spending more dough.
The lawsuit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, says KFC promised everyone "2 pieces of grilled chicken, two individual sides and a biscuit" -- but the promotion, which was promoted on the "Oprah Winfrey Show," turned out to be so popular they couldn't meet the demand.
And that's when the biscuit hit the fan.
The suit says that because KFC couldn't dish out the food as promised, they were forced to give vouchers for free food in the future.
The suit says this "bait and switch" caused customers to incur "travel costs, paper and printing costs, postage, the money they spent on other food items at KFC on visits when they had intended to redeem the Coupon ... and the loss of the value of the promised Meal."
James is suing KFC, because he's hungry for a little payback

Haylie Hocking, 27, only found out that strapping 30-year-old fitness fanatic Jason Brake made adult films just weeks before the big day.
A friend organising her hen night searched online for a male stripper and spotted Jason with a woman in a porn movie.
Now Haylie has called her vicar to cancel the wedding.
She said: "There was no way I could marry an adult film star."
The pair met last year when Jason became a customer at the garage where Haylie worked.
He told her he was a personal trainer and the couple began dating.
She told a magazine she found he was a romantic, thoughtful and passionate lover and six months after meeting he moved into her flat in Bristol.
Jason, who regularly bought her flowers and jewellery, often went away at weekends, telling her he was training clients in a gym.
After eight months, he proposed and bought her a diamond engagement ring.
But Jason's secret emerged when Haylie's friend Lisa tried to book a stripper for a hen party.
Lisa stumbled across a movie clip in which the male star looked like Jason.
Haylie checked the website - and realised it was Jason.
After he finally admitted he was earning money from making porn, she called off the wedding.
Haylie said: "I don't know if I will ever be able to trust a man again."
Jason said he started making occasional films as a sideline before meeting Haylie.
He said: "The sex side is purely for the camera, but Haylie did not understand I was only acting.
"I am sorry and did not want to hurt her. I still love Haylie and would have stopped doing porn if she had asked me to."
He added that he would be honest with women in future relationships.
I guess this could be a good warning to people not to rush into a relationship. I mean if you are fucking a porno star and you don't know it, that's a problem. What the fuck is a hen party? Is that a European version of a bachelorette party? I love how the dude said he "would of stopped doing porn if she asked me to", uhm so he would of kept fucking broad, while making movies, while being married and his wife not knowing! FUCKING BRILLIANT!
June 17th
Bunker Hill Day, on June 17, is a legal holiday in Boston and surrounding Suffolk County, Massachusetts. Elsewhere you'll have to use your own time to celebrate the battle that launched America's war for independence.
1. Step 1
Visit the Bunker Hill Monument and the adjacent museum, which tells the story of the battle and the subsequent war. While you're in Boston, walk the 2 1/2-mile Freedom Trail, which winds through some of the major shrines of the nation's infancy.
2. Step 2
Attend one of the stirringly realistic battle re-enactments staged in Boston and environs. And imagine what it must have been like to be a farmer, tradesman, housewife or schoolchild with fighting raging round you, day in and day out.
3. Step 3
Read a detailed account of the battle, the events that led up to it, and the conflict that followed in Richard M. Ketchum's "Decisive Day: The Battle for Bunker Hill."
4. Step 4
Honor the spirit of the colonists by helping to preserve a building, a battlefield or an art treasure from the Revolutionary era. Volunteer to help at special events, take on a full-time project, or simply send a donation to help with upkeep and expenses.
5. Step 5
Contact the National Trust for Historic Preservation for ideas on ways you can help if you live far from the scene of the action.

Hey Boo Boo...
Bear in tree:
Bear out of tree:
The young black bear that fascinated neighbors and bystanders in a northwest city neighborhood this morning has died.
A black bear cub was spotted going up a tree on Parkwood Road about 12:30 a.m. DEC fish and wildlife technician Ronald Newell said normally bears are allowed to take their own course and come down from trees on their own. But because he was in a residential neighborhood with about 100 people gathered to watch, officials decided to tranquilize the bear with a dart and let it fall into a net to then be transported to state-owned land.
Newell said he missed the first shot but the second shot struck him in one of the bear’s thigh muscles, which he said is a good spot.
After the bear was struck with the tranquilizing dart, several men held up a net to catch the falling cub to help break his fall. The bear was quickly put inside a bear trap to be taken from the scene and was still alive at that point, Newell said.
“We took it over to the cemetery to get him away from the crowd and under some shade,” Newell said, adding that when a technician checked him at the cemetery, the bear’s head was tucked under his neck and he was not breathing. More officials arrived and confirmed the bear was dead.
Newell said it is not certain yet why or how the bear died but they think it may have been asphyxiation due to injuring his neck during the fall.
“It’s unfortunate. I feel terrible,” Newell said. “This is why we prefer to let them come down on its own.”
Newell said that about 10 percent of animals that are shot with a tranquilizer end up dying due to other factors.
While it is not certain how the bear made it into the residential neighborhood in the city, DEC officials think it may have made its way up through the river corridor. There was a bear spotted on Manitou Road in Greece Sunday but it Newell did not know if it was the same one.
The young bear is estimated to be about 150-pounds, Newell said, adding that because June and July is mating season for bears, the young bear’s mother probably sent him away and he just kept going upstream.
“It’s getting more and more common,” Newell said about bears coming into residential areas. “Vegetation is moving up north.”
He suggests people take down their bird feeders during the summer months because bears are attracted to bird feeders.
Official are still determining what to do with the dead bear.
-Thanks to the Democrat and chronicle
They are determining what to do with the dead bear? Stuff that son of a bitch and sell it. Donate all the bear meat to a shelter and let the homeless eat like kings for a few days. Maybe next time they will learn to catch a falling animal from a tree!

SLEEPING ONE OFF
SALEM, Mass.—A customer at a Salem, Mass., bar spent the night trapped in a bathroom but told police in the morning he was "comfortable" and even offered to pay his tab.
Laura Walton, the manager of Gulu-Gulu Cafe, says staff arrived at about 8 a.m. Saturday and heard noises coming from the bathroom area. She tells The Salem News they called police because they thought someone was breaking in.
The 26-year-old man told police he got locked in the bathroom when the bar closed at 1 a.m. Saturday but spent a "comfortable" night there. Walton says the man was apologetic, offered to pay his tab and quickly left.
Police did not release the man's name. They recommended that bar staff check the bathrooms before locking up in the future.

THE CHOOSEN ONE
On Sunday, the sophomore from Las Vegas found his way into national headlines again when his father announced that Bryce will forgo his final two years of high school and use a GED to enroll in a community college this August. Though it more or less makes a mockery of our education system, the Harpers' plan would make Bryce eligible for the 2010 draft, where he could conceivably be the Nationals' No. 1 pick and eventually join forces with Stephen Strasburg to save Washington baseball from itself.
Who wouldn’t make this decision, if you are sixteen and have the maturity, strength, and ability to play with the best why not. Leave school early get a GED, then get your first contract of more than 20 million dollars all before the age of 17, and that’s not including endorsements. Why risk getting hurt playing high school ball when you can be playing Major League Baseball. Sure people are going to bash his parents, but if you had a child with that kind of potential I’m willing to bet you would allow him to go forward with his dream. And either way his first contract will give him enough money to go back to school whenever he wants to. So whatever the media says I think he made the right decision.
Almost half way there...

It comes complete with two Teleprompters programmed to

$83,000, but low government financing is available for any payment

Non- union American citizens must pay full price of course,
plus all taxes. The transparent canopy reveals the smiles still

Fowl play
Fowl play: Two busted on OWI charges after chicken nabbed off grill
Urinating on a house and grabbing a piece of chicken off a grill proved to be the downfall for two Beloit men arrested Wednesday night in downtown Madison, police said.
Richard Carrat, 40, was tentatively charged with his sixth OWI and operating while revoked, and Matthew McCartney, 38, was tentatively charged with his first OWI and operating after revocation, following their arrest at about 7:30 p.m. on Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.
Madison police said the two stumbled out of a van in front of a house in the 500 block of West Washington Avenue, where a 22-year-old Madison man was grilling chicken outside. The two apparently were in need of a bathroom, but the grilling man refused to let them inside his house and instead went inside himself and locked the door.
"He looked out a window to see one of the men urinating on his house," said police spokesman Joel DeSpain. "When the man finished, he grabbed a piece of chicken off the grill, and the two drove off."
According to police:
The griller of the pilfered poultry was perturbed and called police.
An officer found the van downtown and pulled it over. McCartney was behind the wheel, police said, and Carrat was in the passenger seat, chomping on the chicken and licking his fingers.
"The officer noted Carrat had something reddish-brown on his fingers, and there was a dab of the same substance on his cheek," DeSpain said.
Carrat told the officer he purchased the chicken on State Street, but the officer didn't buy it.
"The officer indicated a similar piece of chicken was missing from a downtown grill," DeSpain said. "The driver then admitted Carrat was in fact dining on that missing piece of chicken."
Carrat got his sixth OWI because the chicken griller said Carrat had been driving at the time the van was at his house, police said.
Couldn't these two just head over to KFC and try the new grilled chicken like everyone else? Pissing on a guys house is one thing but stealing his fucking chicken is just wrong.

Final Destination
An Italian woman who arrived late at the airport for the fatal Air France flight 447 has died in a car accident, according to ANSA news agency.
Johanna Ganthaler, a pensioner from the Bolzano-Bozen Province (South Tyrol, Italy) and her husband, Kirk, were on vacation in Brazil and missed flight 447 after arriving at the airport late. They were able to board a later flight and avoided being victims of the horrible crash.
The couple rented a car in Munich, Germany and decided to drive home to Italy. On their way home, while driving through Kufstein, Austria, their car ended up in the opposite lane and they had a head on collision with a truck.
The woman died at the hospital that she was taken to. Her husband is still in critical condition.
Well ain't that a bitch. This broad is lucky enough to miss her flight, the one that happened to disappear, but she dies in a car accident. When it's your time to go you can't avoid it!

Dirty Canadians
What ales Molson retirees?
TORONTO (Reuters) - Beer maker Molson is turning of the tap and cutting off the supply of free suds to its retirees, the Toronto Star reported on Tuesday.
Molson, a division of Molson Coors, said it was looking to "standardize" its complimentary beer policy.
There are 2,400 Molson retirees in Canada and their free beer costs the company about C$1 million ($900,000) a year, the Star said.
Molson retirees in the province of Newfoundland will see their monthly allotment of beer fall from six dozen a month to zero over the next five years.
Current workers will see their allotment drop from 72 dozen bottles a year to 52 dozen.
"There was no consultation, we just received a letter that this is a done deal, which is totally unfair," Bill Bavis, who retired six years ago after 32 years at Molson's in St. John's, Newfoundland, told the Star. "I think with the economic downturn they're trying to take advantage of us, as a way to cut retirees' benefits and justify it."
Unions have launched grievances in Montreal and Vancouver, where the allotment is less.
A spokesman for Molson said the company feels it still has a very generous benefits package.
Wait if you retire from Molson Canadian they give you free beer? WHAT THE FUCK! I think every god damn retiree should get this, no matter what you have retired from. It would make the world a happier place. Old people would be fucking more. We would all recycling more. The world needs this. Can't Obama make this part of his stimulus package??

Another Dot day is in the books.
The Dorchester day bowl off champion, Steven Whitley:
Things I learned this weekend:
1. Outside drinking + no sunscreen = bad news bears for Derek.
2. Chrissy likes Dotout.org:
3. Chrissy got about 6 different winds:
4. People who don't like hot wings are pussies.
5. Peggy O'Neils is a great place to watch the parade.
6. Tito Jackson is running for City Councilor, an upgrade from party promoter.
7. Paul Murphys party still rocks after all these years.
8. Mikey Doyles never lets you down.
9. Working at Wells Liquor is always a fun time. Even if you get called a racist about 10 times a night
10. This pretty much sums up part of the day:
