Isn’t it about time someone in the Palestinian leadership told Hassan Nasrallah to fuck off? The bloodthirsty terrorist organization he heads has nothing to do with any future Palestine. It lives off war and hatred. Lebanon is a free country—or rather, it could be had it not been for the Iran-controlled Hezbollah fighters that occupies southern half of the country.

So, it comes as no surprise that Nasrallah dismisses a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians.

According to the Guardian, both parties seem to agree that it’s possible.

If you want to get married to your same-sex partner on a flight from Stockholm to New York on 6 December, this is something for you.

Orwellian—or something. Well, sort of. Whatever it is—it’s funny.

Stephen Hawking talks about the beginning of the world as we know it. He says, “It is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper and set the universe going.”

His idea is not new. The theory of nothingness being unstable is a version of his theory of gravity. The religious philosopher will of course say that gravity is that first cause that Thomas Aquinas and other advocates of the cosmological argument hold as a proof of God’s existence.

I just want to say that I love “Hung”, the TV series about a well-endowed male prostitute in Detroit. I learned tonight that it now airs on Swedish state television. I encourage everyone to watch it. The greatness of the show is not so much the acting or the plot as the concept—it’s all about one man’s big penis.

I wonder when there will be show about a woman with a very small vagina who gives men that dream orgasm they always sought. Maybe they could add such a character to “Hung”? Nah, I guess that would be considered sexist and inappropriate since it objectifies women in a sexual way.

Apple today announced that it drops the CD logo in iTunes because it no longer represents the main source of music.

It was eight years ago I bought a CD last. I buy all my music on iTunes Store. So, in my opinion, Apple is right on. The CD belongs in a museum.

The new iTunes 10 is out now.

It’s a real slap in Brown’s face Blair delivers in his autobiography. Not that anyone would say Blair is wrong, nor would any sensible person disagree with him when he urges the Labour Party not to shift to the left. Dear God, spare us the socialist madness of pre-“New Labour” Labour! Europe has enough of it from France.

I think someone wants to ruin Barack Obama’s peace talks.

The Local writes, “Assange’s application was submitted shortly before rape and molestation allegations against him by two Swedish women were made public.”

Perhaps the idea of making Sweden his new base is not that attractive anymore?

I’m one of them. QX has made a list of us all.

Perhaps it is because the two personify the internalized homophobia that eats into so many gay men? These are the type of men bigoted people refer to when they excuse their illiberal ideas by saying they have friends who are gay.

I’m just helping Megan McArdle by answering her question. Monogamy is not unnatural in the sense that it goes against nature—as if nature had an opinion on anything—but it is obvious to me that our ideas about sexual relationships are linked to the religious civilization we are part of. This has nothing to do with belief in God; it is strictly a matter of culture.

“Someone who tries to define Jews by a genetic make-up is consumed by a racist mania,” says Stephan Kramer of the Central Council of Jews in Germany. He is right.

Not exactly the poverty-stricken streets and houses we are fed in mainstream media.

A new study on Swedish prostitution was presented at a press conference today. (The link goes to a video where the study is presented in Swedish.)

Swedish liberal Fredrick Federley makes an excellent case against the racist Sweden Democrats. The party tries to gain support from the gay community by accusing Muslims of queer bashing. It is true that Muslim men have caused many violent incidents, but as Federley points out, the Christian Swedes that make up the Sweden Democrats established the tradition.

He is now 24 years old, and still kept a prisoner by Hamas.

The only thing the three parties in the opposition agree on is that successful people must be punished with an extra-heavy tax burden somehow. In a socialist society there’s no room for people who make money by doing things other people are willing to pay for—unless those people are politicians.
