Larry Craig

'Don't expect me to watch SploogeBob SquarePants.' Richmond Virginia stand-up comedian discusses X-rated parodies, Halloween, Scientology, Dick Cheney, Larry Craig, social media, religion and the Cyrus clan at Caf Diem's Comedy Night November 2, 2009. MC is Kenny Wingle.

Trace Crutchfield, gonzo purist and world traveler, is infamous for reporting from exotic locations such as the Favelas of Sao Paolo to the shoe closet of Imelda Marcos for VBS, Superdeluxe and MTV. His latest stop: VC2 producer and Current correspondent at the DNC. The summer of 2008's Republican and Democratic Conventions offer an opportunity for Current TV to launch a new brand of political coverage aimed at the 18-30 year old demographic. Political gadflies in lock step with Party foot soldiers will swarm Denver and Minneapolis looking for a refuge to pull together shaky party unities. But will the distractions prove too tempting to conventioneers immersed in the political super bowls of their lives? And will the host cities be as welcoming as each local Party officials hope? Host, Trace Crutchfield will alternate interviewing politicos and local 'insurgents' (extremists who plan to cause disruptions) with a detailed City Guide that explores the fringes of each town --beautiful fashionistas, marginalized characters and locals only joints-- the kinds of people and places Current's audience won't find in a conventional or online guide. Show 2, 'UnConventionally Yours, Minneapolis- St Paul' will take us to north to to the Twin Cities to explore if we are the verge of the last hurrah for the Reagan Revolution? Is the liberal decadence too alluring to a Republican backbone weakened by crisis upon crisis? Remember Larry Craig. Would Jesse Ventura line up against a gay rugby side?

The trailer for Sons of a Gun which will be at SXSW 2009. Lance, Craig, and Ubaldo live with schizophrenia. They also live with Larry, their alcoholic caretaker/'dad'. And even though they aren't related by blood, they've lived together as a family for 20 years. Through intimate access to this unique family, the documentary SONS OF A GUN follows them as they get evicted, move into a cramped motel room, joke around, and scramble to find a new home before their family self-destructs.

Since George Clooney couldn t make it to last night s American Cinematheque Tribute to Julia Roberts in person, he decided to give her mandatory ego massage in the form of filmed well-wishing from a bathroom stall, which he says is the only place he s safe from his crazed fans. Unfortunately his hiding place turns out to be less private than he thought, and the ensuing advances of a sex-crazed Clooneyite in the stall next to him turns his nice message to Julia into a shameful and awkward homosexual encounter. But it s guaranteed to make Senator Larry Craig soooo hot.

With news this past week that Larry Flynt s Hustler Productions completed their Sarah Palin porn spoof called Who s Nailin Paylin , (yes with a Y .c mon, it s fictional), it s safe to say that porn is remaining tapped into the cultural market (That swhatshesaid). This is a little ridiculous (but what do you expect from the industry that brought you Forrest Hump ?). This video from BNE s own Craig Rowin harkens back to a simpler time, when adult themes weren t as complicated as today. Slightly NSFW for some mentions of novelties .

Second trailer for Outrage announces the documentary's premiere on HBO. An official selection of the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival, Outrage investigates the hidden lives of some of the country's most powerful policymakers - from now-retired Idaho Senator Larry Craig, to former New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevy - and examines how these and other politicians have inflicted damage on millions of Americans by opposing gay rights. Equally disturbing, the film explores the mainstream media's complicity in keeping those secrets, despite the growing efforts to 'out' them by gay rights organizations and bloggers. Through a combination of archival news footage and exclusive interviews with politicians and members of the media, Outrage probes the psychology of a double lifestyle, the ethics of outing closeted politicians, and the double standards that the media upholds in its coverage of the sex lives of gay public figures. As Barney Frank, perhaps the best-known openly gay member of Congress explains, 'There is a right to privacy, but not a right to hypocrisy. It is very important that the people who make the law be subject to the law.' The film also spotlights Michael Rogers, a gay activist and founder of blogACTIVE, a Washington, D.C.-based website dedicated to outing closeted public figures. Rogers feels it is necessary to expose the hypocrisy of those who may live one way in public and another way in private, explaining that his work is not about outing people who are gay, but rather about 'reporting on individuals who are working against the community that they then expect to protect them.'
