We go to Gawker.
Oh no! Larry's not going to like this. It seems the person he called an excellent television journalist, Lara Logan, has a bit of news.
The first part of it is good. Lara's getting a promotion at CBS! The second part isn't so great. Click here to get the latest.

Hey, Look at this! I got an e-mail from Barack Obama!
Let me show you a little bit of it:
Dear LARRY,

No matter where I've
gone in this country, I've met working Americans who feel like the American
dream is slipping out of reach. They're working harder for less. The cost of
everything from a tank of gas to a bag of groceries, from health care to
college tuition, is going up and up. It's getting harder to save and harder to
retire. And that's why so many Americans are counting on us to win in November
and bring about the change they so desperately need.
The stakes could
not be higher. And the choice could not be clearer: at this defining
moment in American history, we can continue the failed Bush economic policies
that are stretching wallets and straining families and the failed Bush foreign
policies that haven't made us safer. Or we can seize this moment by turning the
page on the policies of the past, and offering a new direction for the country
we love.Over the course of this historic campaign, almost 40 million people
have made their intention clear. They want a new direction - and they want a
Democratic president to make it happen.
But a new President alone
isn't enough.
I've served long enough in the U.S. Senate to know that Washington must change, and I also know that big
changes don't happen without big Senate majorities - and right now, Democrats
occupy only 49 seats.
This November, we have a chance to
create a Democratic Senate majority like we haven't seen in decades - but it
won't happen on its own. For eighteen months, Sen. Hillary Clinton and I
counted on people like you to support our campaigns for president - and now I
am asking you to do the same for a tremendous slate of Democratic Senate
candidates by supporting the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
The DSCC delivered historic
victories in the 2006 midterm elections, and they will do so again this year if
we get behind them before this critical second quarter fundraising deadline.
I’ll stop here, but that “click” message for money was repeated a second time in the e-mail.
The following day, I got an e-mail from Sen. Harry Reid who wanted to follow up on Obama’s e-mail and he – again – was asking for money, $75, $100 or more.
Now I like both these guys and I hope Obama gets elected, but it puts me off a little bit to be hounded for money - $75 or more. I guess if I had $50, that wouldn’t be enough.
I’ll think about it - but Obama, you’ve made me even grumpier than I already am.

The Cincinnati Nation asked the
question earlier this week:
"The Banks will look a lot like a new neighborhood in Atlanta called Atlantic Station, nearly an exact copy. Now - come on - you didn't really expect Cincinnati would do
something original, did you?"
. . . and now we’ll asking you sort
of the same question: Why are we being such a copycat?

You Cincinnati guys are really, really dumb.
I was with this guy last night making love at his place.
Suddenly he stopped. I asked him "Is there anything wrong?"
"Carol," He says, “I hate to be critical; but you’ve got the driest twat I’ve
ever encountered."
"Move up, you dummy,” I said. “You’re licking the rug."

Sorry - Judy Darling, LOL Blog Reporter, is sleeping it off this morning and I don't feel like putting up something cute or funny.
Maybe Judy's depressed about the war.
No, probably not. According to Frank Rich at The New York Times, the bad news about the war doesn't rate here anymore. We don't care about it.
Lara Logan at CBS News basically said the same thing last week. We wrote about that on Sunday.
What does it take to get us angry about this?
Democracy Now reported last week that Exxon Mobil, Shell and BP are getting no-bid contracts in Iraq.
Do you think the Bush Administration has anything to do with this? The same web site also stated that Army General Taguba has accused the Bush Administration of war crimes. No shit.
Another New York Times writer (who really shouldn’t be one, because he can never get his facts right in his column), Bill Kristol, says Bush might bomb Iran if he thinks Obama will win the election.
How fucking depressing.
War: What is it good for?
Judy, do you have any vodka left in that bottle?

Well, she told me she was LOL Girl at the CityBeat rally last Friday night on Fountain Square but I seriously doubted it at the time. Turns out I was right.
The woman in the photo with the two guys is actually a member of The Citizens for Community Values.

If I said I wasn't depressed, I'd be lying.
I took off yesterday and watched his clips on YouTube and drank vodka.
I was a huge, huge fan and had the total pleasure of seeing him perform live over 30 years ago at, of all places, Music Hall. My girlfriend, who would later become my wife, and I laughed so hard; we almost couldn't stand it.
Just recently - maybe a couple years back - I saw him perform live again here in Cincinnati and he was still so, so funny.
He was funny, but he also made you think.
A part of me is now gone and I feel bad about this death.
1937 - 2008. Not long enough. Not long enough. I wanted at least one more HBO special.

Tuesday nights downtown don't really have much of a "feel" to it - or maybe that's just me.
I think I'll just stay home, get stoned and watch the video down below.
Man, look at all those orange barrels. . .

Joe Bigg was having a few beers last night in a bar downtown, connected with a beautiful woman who wanted him badly - but poor Joe had no protection.
Knowing that the Citizens for Community Values would be all over him if he didn't wear a condom during the "dirty deed," Joe did what he had to do. We got the whole thing on film. The video is down below.
There is no truth to the rumor that the woman in the video is Sally Negative.

My loser of a husband has left me. I really could care less. His penis was small and he was horrible in bed. He didn’t make enough money, couldn't support me in the way I deserve. Goodbye - loser.
Of course, he'll be hearing from my lawyer this week. By the time we’re done with the asshole, he'll be living in a cardboard box somewhere in Over-the-Rhine. Ha! I’ll need to get pictures of that.
I went to a bar downtown last night to have a few drinks and, of course, a guy picked me up. After we went back to his place and after the sex (soooo nice to have some real lumber inside me), I asked Joe (I think that was his name) what kind of work he did and how much money he made. He seemed a little put off by that but there’s no way I’m going to hook up with another financial loser.
I’m signing off. My loser of a husband left some of his clothes here and I need to go and set them on fire.
