Men looking for casual sex are most likely to hit on girls called Kelly, according to a new survey.

Kelly topped a list of girls names that men reckoned were most up for sex with Tanya coming second, Debs or Debbie third, Becky fourth and Steph fifth.

Michelle, Tina, Lisa, Carly and Nicky also make the top ten of names boys think are most up for sex.

Well, what can I say? My father wanted to name me Gina.

Reading the news, you’d think that Rudy is the only presidential contender who once had a contract out on his poorly coiffed head.

Not so!

Dennis Kucinich also inspired at least one murder plot - almost a decade earlier than the reported ‘86 Gambino hit on Guiliani, to boot.

And no, it wasn’t all just an elaborate plan some middle-schoolers hatched to get their grubby paws on Kucinich’s uncommonly good cookies.

In 1977, Kucinich was elected Mayor of Cleveland and served in that position until 1979. At 31, he was the youngest mayor of a major city in the United States. Kucinich’s tenure as mayor is often regarded as one of the most tumultuous in Cleveland’s history. After Kucinich refused to sell Muny Light, Cleveland’s publicly-owned electric utility, the Cleveland mafia put a hit on Kucinich. A hitman from Maryland planned to shoot him in the head during the Columbus Day Parade, but the plot fell apart when Kucinich got sick and missed the event. When the city fell into default shortly thereafter, the mafia leaders called off the contract killer.

Where’s the love, msm?

UPDATE, 10/25/07:

So here’s the transcript of the show I saw:

BRIANNA KEILAR, CNN CORRESPONDENT: And also here’s Vice President Dick Cheney apparently nodding off during a cabinet meeting as President Bush was being briefed about the California wildfires. A Cheney spokeswoman just laughed it off, saying quote, “the vice president is taking up meditation” — a funny response there, Wolf.

BLITZER: Very funny, indeed. All right, thanks very much, Brianna Keilar.

I’m starting to think that these talking heads yapyapyap not to actually report on any real news, but just because they like the sound of their own gums flapping in the vacuum they create. “Very funny indeed”? Did you even listen to your correspondent, Wolf? So not funny, is what that was.

——————————

Yawn.

BLITZER: We will get back to Southern California and the fires in a moment.

But, on our Political Ticker this Wednesday, the vice president, Dick Cheney, caught on videotape. The video was taken during a Cabinet meeting over at the White House today. The president was being briefed on the California wildfires. But check it out. Cheney appears appears — appears — to be nodding off, albeit briefly.

Wish I had the video to share, but alas, no luck.

This is actually transcript from the 4PM edition of the show; when I watched during the 7PM hour, Wolf also reported on Cheney’s secretary’s (?) reaction when a journalist pointed out Cheney’s seeming boredom at what has become a national disaster. (Paraphrasing, of course.)

He’s taken up meditation during meetings.

Ha-fucking-ha.

Really, is this their idea of a joke? A million people evacuated, 1,500 homes destroyed, 434,000 acres scorched, and you douchebags are making a funny out of Cheney’s inability to stay awake during a discussion of this very important issue?

And what really gets me is that she had a great out. Several, really. Cheney’s an old guy jacked up on who knows how many meds. Blame it on his age, blame it on the heart pills, heck, blame it on dick pills for all I care. Just don’t make a fucking joke out of what will for many people be the single worst week of their lives. That’s just evil.

Not that I should be surprised, though. Those fuckers don’t usually pretend to care, so at least they’re sticking to what they know best.

You know, I — I think it’s hard to judge how their conversations went from a picture. Generally leaders don’t like to be photographed scowling at each other or making bad gestures at each other. So I’m not surprised that there was a nice picture of them walking along. I try to make sure that when I’m with foreign leaders, there’s a pretty picture of the two of us walking down the colonnades, or something like that, to send a good message.

Straight from whitehouse.gov.

Well, OK, so maybe there is. Just don’t tell Peedee that.

I’m part of the hippie generation.

SEN. TOM COBURN (R), OKLAHOMA, dissing on a $1 million earmark to build a Woodstock (’69, not ‘94, or so one would hope) museum in NY.

You know, the woman-hating, slut-shaming, homosexual-bashing, eugenicist and True Believer ™ Tom Coburn. Yeah, that one.
