Apparently. I mean, the guy looks pretty rough.

So much for aging gracefully.

Emmy-winning actor Rip Torn was arrested Saturday for allegedly breaking into a bank in Salisbury, Conn., where he's a resident.

Police described the incident as a booze-inspired bank job. In a statement, cops say they responded to an alarm at 9:40 p.m. Friday and found Torn "with a loaded revolver, and was highly intoxicated."

The many charges against the 78-year-old Men in Black star include carrying a firearm while intoxicated, carrying a pistol without a permit, first-degree criminal trespass, first-degree burglary, and third-degree criminal mischief.

Torn has had several brushes with the law over the past few years, including a dismissed 2004 drunken driving charge and a 2007 guilty plea of being "ability impaired" while operating a vehicle.

He is currently being held on a $100,000 cash bond and is set to appear in court Monday.

He looks very sober, you have to admit.

Presenting When You Marry, a 1962 textbook for...health class? Sex ed? Home economics? Relationships & Traditional Gender Roles 101? Some unholy (but Jesus-based-religions-approved!) combination of all of the above?

As far as I can tell, this book was intended for a high school course in "Family Life Education," a White-House-encouraged initiative to strengthen future American families against the corrupting forces of communism, feminism, interracial dating and heavy petting. We're going beyond the flour-sack baby, here, people, we're going to bring down the national divorce rate through our ability to make high school students squirm in their seats. It's outdated! It's offensive! It's adorable! It's all this, and more. Much, much more.

Just print the PDF version onto full-sheet sticker paper, then cut out disclaimers and apply to books. Give some to your kids to take to school. Leave some next to the appropriate books at your local bookstore. And for extra good fun, sticker your friends' books when they're not looking.

In case you're curious, wording for the top left disclaimer is taken verbatim from the sticker (view) designed by Georgia's Cobb County School District ("A community with a passion for learning" is their motto). Really! Their school board actually plagiarized Alabama's evolution disclaimer (view). The other disclaimers are my variants that explore the real the motivations of the delusional, anti-science folks who tend to migrate to positions of power on school boards across the country. My naive hope is that the above stickers might deter other school districts from using disclaimers to shield children from developing a science-based view of reality. It's at least worth a try. More

Interesting article about how women are portrayed in films

Excerpt:

There's not much that's more irksome than clichés -- the flesh-eating fungus of Hollywood, the virus that makes Tinseltown's already rampant repetition all the more tiresome. They're completely trite and overused, but the cinematic machine clings to them like they're energy-giving oil.

Oh yes. Men have many secrets, some of which are disgusting. Actually, all of them are disgusting. Actually, all of them are pretty gross. Gay men have the edge on us. They tend to be tidier, in better shape, better dancers, more focussed. This may be an illusion, but frankly it always seems they are doing better with women than me.
