Something tells me that if Santorum loses his seat, The Sci-Fi Channel will get a ratings bump while he and his staff figure out what to do next. I’m just hoping I catch him at Chiller Theater this year. Hot Air has the whole story of how the Senator outed himself as a Tolkien geek.

A lot of conservatives are coming down on the guy, but I say a man who can understand the universal genius of Tolkien and apply it to foreign policy is just what we need in Washington. Besides, how much more fanciful is a Tolkien based foreign policy then Jimmy Carter’s “Communist can be trusted” North Korean policy?

Halloween, the greatest holiday ever invented, is just around the corner. How will you celebrate? Here’s a suggestion:

Check out their website and just like everyone else they have a MySpace page.

If I lived in Florida, I’d go there, just to see my favorite non-wrestling model Syn Devil.

Tara Bush that is.

You didn’t think a week would go by without mentioning are favorite Indy wrestler/model did you? Especially when she’s got big news. Tara will be a spokes model for Pravda brand vodka, which has a certain irony that fans of the “hardcore schoolgirl” will no doubt pick up on.

We hope this doesn’t interfere with her wrestling schedule, but it seems like modeling is her bread and butter these days. Just some of her work as a spokes model includes:

Whip Cream

Canned soup (with some friends)

Even traffic safety

Either that or she’s a Democrat (get it? Stop Bush)

The more we see of her, the more we’d like to see her in ECW. And when we say more of her we mean:

Now that’s modeling. Anyway she’s got a Balloon Fetish sight if you like the weird stuff and don’t forget to visit her at her home on the web.

O.K. I know this will shock you, but there are apparently gay wrestlers. I know, I know it’s a surprise, nobody would expect that a sport that requires participants to hang around gyms,wear colorful costumes and “grapple” with each other would be appealing to gays but I swear it’s true.

Case in point, not to long ago, Chris Kanyon, a.k.a. Mortis, a.k.a. Chris “Champagne” Kanyon, came out of the closet recently. Not really big news in and of itself, Kanyon upped the ante by doing what any self-respecting homosexual would do after announcing his orientation. He started raising hell.

I’ve got two words: Love. It.

First he supposedly got himself ejected from a WWE show by ambushing DX as they made their entrance, running up the ramp with a sign that accused WWE of firing him due to his orientation, and best of all on the reverse side it read “Shawn Pray for my gay soul”.

Hilarious. Especially since if you ask me, H.B.K.’s new found faith, and his older behavior both have as Ann Coulter might say “a whiff of the bath house” about it.

I’ve heard he also posted some sort of hate filled screed on good ‘ol J.R.’s blog, but I couldn’t find it. What I did find was that wrestling fans are not happy about Chris making all kinds of accusations of “racism” (?) and are buzzing like angry, sexless hornets who live in their parent’s basements and search the net for nude photos of Ariel and Kelly Kelly.

He’s hitting the circuit, putting the bad mouth on some people and outing others and generally being as entertaining as hell. He’s got his schedule on his official site, and he’s got a MySpace account, which gives his side of the DX story.

This B@#$* gives all us heteros a bad name by calling Kanyon a “Faggit” and making some sort of round about death threat. Be sure to drop by her MySpace page and tell her how you feel.

Good luck Chris!

According to a statement released by the Australia Zoo, “Crocodile Hunter” Steve Irwin was tragically lost while filming off the Great Barrier Reef. It was reported that Irwin was killed when swimming over a stingray, which subsequently stung him in the chest inducing cardiac arrest. His wife Terri and children Bindi Sue and Bob Clarence Irwin survive him. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family in this difficult time.

In an era of rabid anthropomorphism, where wild animals are depicted as Disneyesque characters waiting for a chance to interact peacefully with humans, Irwin showed us that you could love nature without sugarcoating it. The Crocodile Hunter taught viewers that while they may love animals, those feelings are not reciprocated, that wildlife is just that: wild. Steve Irwin showed the world that we could love nature as it is, untamed, dangerous and terrifying, and not as we’d like it to be: safe.

For ECW fans, myself included, Steve Irwin will be missed because though he was not a wrestler, he was “hardcore.” For all his fans, we can only say goodbye, and thank you.
