In the end, dancing skill triumphed over get-out-the-vote efforts on "Dancing With the Stars." Jennifer Grey, who consistently topped the judges' leaderboard throughout the season, took the "Dancing" title Tuesday, outscoring fellow finalists Kyle Massey and Bristol Palin, who was buoyed for weeks by passionate voters and online efforts to support the single mom. Massey finished second. Palin was third. Grey, who overcame painful neck, back and knee injuries to earn three perfect scores in the run-up to Tuesday's finale, said her mind went blank in the moments before she was named the winner. "I was in a surrender moment...

November 27, 2009 Sasha Grey: From Porn Star To Leading Star [Pic in URL] Sasha Gray, the youngest person to win the Adult Video News Awards’ Female Performer of the Year award, goes mainstream The director Steven Soderbergh compared casting the 21-year-old porn actress Sasha Grey as the lead in his latest film to working with Brad Pitt. The interest in the sylph-slim, smoky-eyed actress, he explained, would be greater than the interest in the movie itself, a useful boost given that The Girlfriend Experience is firmly positioned at the defiantly uncommercial end of the Soderbergh spectrum. Grey’s might not...

In the scottish highlands lies a mountain where many have felt a dread quite unlike anything else they have ever experienced. As the fogs and mists roll across the cairns, they say there lurks a creature huge and terrifying. They call it ‘Am Fear Liath Mor’, or the ‘Big Grey Man’.

DEMOCRATS PEAK, THEN BEGIN A LONG SLIDE In 1992, shortly after Bill Clinton's stunning victory over incumbent George Bush gave Democrats control of the House, Senate, and White House, it seemed as if the Democratic Party had entered a new golden age of power and influence. As golden ages go, theirs was relatively short-lived. Just two years later, Democrats were tossed out of the House and Senate in record numbers, and Republicans took control. Shortly after, Republicans also won a majority of governorships in the US. Then, in 2000, George W. Bush defeated then V.P. Al Gore to become the...

As some of you know, I've launched ArnoldGovernor.net to highlight the merits of Arnold Schwarzenegger's candidacy for Governor of California in October's recall election. The site is active from my geography but I'm not sure if it takes some time for the DNS tables to be updated and if people in other parts of the country need to wait longer for the table replication to take place. If you'd click the link to ArnoldGovernor.net and reply here if it worked or not, it would be much appreciated. Please also list your city and state so I can get a sense...

CALLING ALL Arnold Schwarzenegger Supporters: I am announcing the creation of ArnoldGovernor.net . I have reserved the domain, but the site is up right now at a temporary URL which can be seen here (www.elephantparty.com). I am a Californian and a conservative - and I can say with certainty that Arnold represents the best chance we have of claiming California's governorship. I am posting this site for your review. First, the others in the race. Bill Simon and Tom McClintock are both fine men, but they have lost important statewide races in the past. Simon lost a race against Davis...
