I swear this is true...in Maureen Dowd's piece today, she mentions several gay sex websites that are likned to James Guckert, a k a Jeff Gannon, who the lefty bloggers outed recently. Earlier this morning when I read the piece, these sites were hotlinked - in other words if you clicked on the sitename you would go straight to an adult porn site. It seems like the Times fixed it, becuase the links aren't there anymore.

I also want to give the award to most obscure cultural reference to Ms. Dowd for the title of her op-ed - "Bush's Barberini Faun".

She is referring to a statue of a studly male figure in repose which can be seen here.

Hey, at least I learned something.
