Government technology Elections Ariana Huffington was about to out Philip de Vellis - a designer with the firm that created Barack Obama's website - as the creator of the infamous Vote Different YouTube video, which mashes up Apple's 1984 ad with Hillary Clinton's own campaign imagery to create a compelling online ad for Obama, the SF Chronicle reports.
LAS VEGAS — Sen. Barack Obama said Friday that his campaign had nothing to do with a Web ad portraying his chief rival for the Democratic president nomination as an Orwellian figure.
Nevertheless, Obama said declined to denounce the ad, which depicts Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York as Big Brother. He said the ad apparently "captured the public's imagination." Obama said the ad was produced by a renegade employee of a company hired by his campaign to help design his Web site. The employee, Philip de Vellis, has since left Blue State, a Washington-based consulting firm, and has said he produced the ad on his own time.
This three part series is from the show "Penn and Teller Bullshit" show. It is a no bullshit look at the so called "War On Drugs" in the United States and shows what a failure it is. Pay close attention to that asshole Joe Arpaio and what his idea of a free America would be if he had his way. Sounds like a facist pig if you ask me but I ask you all to watch all three parts and make your own minds up... BJC

Letter to Maricopa County Board of Supervisors
I would like to bring to your attention a problem in Maricopa County; one that I believe you are already familiar with. The problem is Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his greatest source of nationwide publicity, the infamous Tent City.
I could'nt care less if John Edwards sucks dick or not. The question is "Does Ann Coulter Suck Dick"? Or for that matter does she have a dick? Those are the questions burning in my head...
(CNSNews.com) - In the aftermath of Ann Coulter's controversial remarks about presidential candidate John Edwards, liberal bloggers say they have convinced some advertisers to stop supporting the conservative commentator's website.
During a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C., March 2, Coulter said she was "going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, but it turns out you have to go into rehab if you use the word 'faggot.'"
QUOTE: "I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, but it turns out you have to go into rehab if you use the word ‘faggot,’ so I — so kind of an impasse, can’t really talk about Edwards." Ann Coulter, speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference.
Here's another story that I got interested in from seeing a movie. "Party Monster" is the story of Michael Alig who was described as the founder of the "Clubkids" who killed his friend and drug dealer Angel. I admit I'm fascinated by some strange and dark stories. I just find them interesting because of what is really involved in the real stories behind the movies.Also, I enjoy researching them. I hope you enjoy... BJC
A movie about club-kid leader turned killer Michael Alig is starting to roll, but you know how movies about beautiful minds can be. So, as the only observer not on drugs at the time, let me uncork my own reminiscences of Alig in hopes of getting everyone out of a proverbial K-hole. In his party days—the mid '80s to mid '90s—Alig was a charismatic presence with a naughty streak that made him simultaneously compelling and unnerving. He was a genius and the devil, and in '88, I wrote about his and the club kids' "Cult of crazy fashion and petulance. They . . . are terminally superficial, have dubious aesthetic values, and are master manipulators, exploiters, and, thank God, partiers." I even compared Alig and company to the Manson family!
After ten years in prison, club kid turned murderer Michael Alig is clean (finally), remorseful (possibly),and obsessed with his grand reentry into New York nightlife.
I can hardly believe it’s been ten years already! Go ahead and make the arrangements … & just let me know when you’re planning to come up! Looking forward to meeting you!” The letter, scribbled in loopy, adolescent handwriting on a piece of loose-leaf paper, had the look of a note that might be surreptitiously passed in grade-school homeroom and the breezy tone of an invitation to stop by someone’s country house.
Michael Alig was a naive suburban gay boy who arrived in New York in the early '80s with a dream and a smile. He turned the city's nightlife on its head through some of its headiest days - but found true fame when his life unraveled in a bloody mix of drugs and murder. In the feature film, Party Monster, Macaulay Culkin stars as Michael Alig, New York's infamous "Club Kid Killer". The real Michael Alig, however, is currently imprisoned in the Attica Correctional Facility in upstate New York. Danny Corvini has been corresponding with Alig since 2002. Based on their letters, he compiled this feature.
"When I arrived In New York, I knew I wanted to live there," says Michael Alig. "It was so unlike anything I'd ever experienced. The people were all so tolerant and creative. Here, people seemed to be praised and celebrated for their individuality rather than made fun of for it."

MICHAEL, PLEASE CAN YOU TELL US WHEN YOU HOPE TO LEAVE SOUTHPORT CORRECTIONAL FACILITY? I'm scheduled to leave Southport on 22 April, and it won't be soon enough for me, as this has to be one of the worst facilities in all of New York State! There are daily shit fights between inmates, spitting, piss fights. It's worse than a zoo. I don't think even monkeys throw piss and shit at each other! The next place I go won't be so harsh, I'm sure.
Robert "Freeze" Riggs and Michael Alig were once fixtures on the decadent New York nightclub scene. So was Angel Melendez, whose flashy outfits often included a pair of gauzy wings. One day, the three "club kids" got into a fight. A hammer was swung, a syringe was filled with Drano, and Angel ended up in a cardboard box in the Hudson River. This is Riggs's confession to cops. He and Alig are now doing time for their role in Melendez's death.
Three months ago, a 27-year old from Gilbert, Arizona put up this clip asking as many random strangers to call him on his cell phone as possible. So far 11,914 people have taken Luke Johnson up on his offer, some from as far away as Japan, Thailand, and South Africa.
Paris Hilton and her former boyfriend Joe Francis, of Girls Gone Wild fame, have allegedly considered legal action against the operator of the website www.parisexposed.com. As more details emerge about the purchase of Paris' personal items from a storage unit which was owed a $208 bill, the story just seems to get juicier but something simply doesn't seem right.
That's what Bardia Persa, creator of the new Web site ParisExposed.com, says he paid a broker for the contents of Paris Hilton's storage unit — which contained, among other things, a prescription for the antibiotic doxycycline -- which among other things, is used to treat venereal disease. Why do you think Persa would pay such an insane amount of money for this stuff — junk that even Paris didn't care enough about to pay the storage bill for, which resulted in this mess?
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil — A time-honored Brazilian pastime — getting frisky with a significant other on the beach — has ignited a nationwide debate about Internet freedoms. The difference in this case is that the sex caught on video and displayed on the Internet involved one of Brazil's top models, Daniela Cicarelli, cavorting with her banker boyfriend on the Spanish seaside.
Seriously,who in their right minds will fuck on a public beach and not expect it to wind-up on Youtube.These are two of the highest profile people in Brazil and they don’t think people are watching them everywhere they go?Even Britney Spears knew when she left her panties in the drawer that night that her crotch would be plastered all over the internet the next morning…BJC
