Man oh man did I have a crush on her as a kid.

I wonder why...

Yeah but then how would she conceive to begin with.

BOSOM BUDDIES By KEITH J. KELLY - Business - New York Post Online Edition

(Jane) Pratt, who has been a frequent guest on Howard Stern's show, says, "One of my dreams is to return to Howard's show and tell him the truth about Drew Barrymore and me."



She said years ago, when Stern was on his terrestrial station, he had asked her if she had ever had sex with a woman. She answered "yes" but then demurred when he asked if it was someone people have heard of.



She said she would like to go back and tell him the truth. "It was someone famous. I did have sex with Drew Barrymore," she said.



Barrymore, who had graced the first cover of the debut issue of Jane back in 1997, could not be reached for comment.

Here's Pratt:

Here's the cover in question:

Sully on the captured Brits

The Daily Dish: Captured Brits:

"The news reports put that word in quotation marks. I wonder if it emerges that they are being subject to George W. Bush's preferred euphemism 'coercive interrogations.' And if that turns out to be the case, and we have to pray it isn't, then what will the United States and its ally Great Britain say in complaint? After all, Iran is only doing to Western soldiers in captivity what the U.S. has been doing to 'enemy combatants' since the war began. Then there's a question of what kind of trial they might face. One in which their defense gets a chance to see all the evidence against them? Oh, wait ... we don't do that either. "

Yep. It's not like we can bitch about that sort of thing anymore. Thanks George.

How's that working out for you?

Americans For Bayh

Americans For Bayh is a grass roots effort dedicated to the candidacy of Indiana Senator Evan Bayh as the next president of the United States. There is no official Americans For Bayh (AFB) organization or group at this point in time. So what are we about? Basically we are trying to provide those interested in the Senator with a portal where any news or events can be accessed easily. We publish a regular email-linked newsletter. Furthermore, some are involved as contributors on the Blogging for Bayh weblog which provides up to the minute Bayh commentary and news. All content reflects the opinions of the individual identified and are not associated with Evan Bayh's official capacities and is never in any way coordinated with the Senator or any of his staff.

I hate this show. Not because its bad, but because it wakes me up at 2AM. Matusow, Hellmuth, Ivey, Farha, Bloch, and Tony G at the same table? Just silly.
