She's so dirty

Angela K. Brown is an associated press reporter. Judging by the headline of this article, she's also a dirty girl.

She had several options for a title but chose "Captive Elephant Breeding Hard." Shame, shame. Why not use "difficult" or "problematic" of "Difficulty Breeding Capitive Elephants?"

How many of our readers remember the band Sugar Ray? You know, I just wanna fly.
Anyway, the lead singer of that band, Mark McGrath, was destined for fame with his rock star good looks. Even though his band's fame is over, he is moving along. Most recently he recorded a duet with Shania Twain, that has to be one of the worst songs ever recorded. At the moment, he is hosting the syndicated entertainment news show "Extra." Ouch! How they not-so-mighty have fallen. One day you're housing VH1's top 100 most controversial moments and the next day your co-hosting Extra.

And...for the small, yet strangely vocal, component of our readership that is heavily involved in the use and distribution of illicit substances, Dr. Mary Holley ,who runs a Mothers Against Methamphetamine ministry in Albertville, Ala., and has interviewed men and women addicted to meth, said sex is the No. 1 reason people use it.

"The effect of an IV hit of methamphetamine is the equivalent of 10 orgasms all on top of each other lasting for 30 minutes to an hour, with a feeling of arousal that lasts for another day and a half," she said.

But, before you run out and get some, you should all know that...

"After you have been using it about six months or so you can't have sex unless you are high," Holley said. "After you have been using it a little bit longer you can't have sex even when you're high. Nothing happens. It doesn't work."

AND

Use of the addictive drug can cause brain damage, violent behavior and hallucinations, and exposure to the potentially explosive vapors during the manufacture of meth can cause respiratory problems, headaches and nausea.

AND, after awhile...

"Hair falls out. Teeth fall out," Walters said. "That's not sexy."

One last thing. If you are awake at night, pondering your mortality, possibly thinking about terrorism, think of these comforting words from our president, George W. Bush.

"We're a large country, with all kinds of avenues where somebody could inflict harm."
"We've made a lot of progress in protecting our country, and there's more work to be done, and this administration is committed to doing it."

Meanwhile, in Iraq...
