New Site: Matrimonials for Same-sex Marriages

Dear Friend,

I have developed a site entitled "Matrimonials for
Same-sex Marriages"

http://k.domaindlx.com/pg22/ss_matrimonials.html

You can use this site if you are looking for a
same-sex life-partner and you are an Indian or a
native of one of India's neighbouring countries, i.e.,
Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal,
Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Myanmar(Burma). You can also
use this site if you are a national of any other
country who wants to have an Indian as his/her life
partner.

The site has provision for publishing your matrimonial
and searching the database depending upon the choice
of your partner.

While publishing your matrimonial on the site, you can
choose your marital status from the following three
options:

1. Un-entangled (Un-married, Widow/Widower, Divorcee,
Separated)
2. Entangled in a Hetero-Marriage but can take divorce
after getting partner
3. Entangled in a Hetero-Marriage and cannot take
divorce, want a family friend

If you want to know who is a 'family friend', please
see the following web-page:

http://k.domaindlx.com/pg22/family_friend.html

Please give as much publicity to this site as
possible. Inform all your friends about it.

They are giving us extreme pain by continuously
refusing us our right to marriage. Let us reduce this
pain from the earth as much as possible by arranging
marriages even without this right. Please wipe tears
from the eternally weeping eyes of crores of Indian
men, women, and children.

Your suggestions, comments, opinion all are acceptable
and solicited.

Regards and thanks.

Yours

Prashant

Jane Fonda Slips Up and Uses the "C" Word

Jane Fonda Gets in Trouble at the Today Show

Ms. Fonda is at it again :)

‘Today’ show apologizes for Jane Fonda’s use of vulgar slang on the air

By Associated Press | Thursday, February 14, 2008

NEW YORK - NBC News is apologizing again — this time for Jane Fonda.

The 70-year-old actress used a vulgar slang term on the "Today" show Thursday while talking about the play "The Vagina Monologues." Fonda is appearing in a 10th-anniversary performance and was on "Today" with author Eve Ensler.

Fonda told co-host Meredith Vieira that she was asked to perform a monologue with a slang term for vagina as the title — and Fonda used the term itself on the air in explaining why she said "no."

"I said, ’I don’t think so, I’ve got enough problems,’" Fonda said.

About 10 minutes later, Vieira told viewers that Fonda had used a word from the play that normally isn’t used on television.

"It was a slip and obviously she apologizes and so do we," Vieira said. "We would do nothing to offend the audience, so please accept that apology."

"Today" moved quickly to silence the word and cover up Fonda’s face with a still photo when the show was aired in the Midwest, Mountain and West Coast feeds.

It’s been a month’s worth of apologies for NBC News, owned by General Electric Co. MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews said he was sorry for suggesting that the reason Hillary Clinton was a presidential candidate was because of her husband’s infidelities. MSNBC correspondent David Shuster was suspended for two weeks for saying the Clintons had "pimped out" daughter Chelsea for presidential campaigning.

Drivers report seeing belly dancer shimmying across I-880

Drivers report seeing belly dancer shimmying across I-880

Nothing beats a shimmy and shake to stop traffic.

When commuters spotted a woman in a belly dancing getup getting her groove on with a road sign, they called 911. It's more than you might expect to see along the side of Interstate 880 in San Leandro on a Monday afternoon.

The first call described a woman belly dancing along the right side of the road at 3:07 p.m. A minute later, drivers reported that she was using a light pole as a dancing prop and then a highway sign for a pole dance.

It wasn't until she ran across the interstate that things got nasty, CHP officer Oscar Johnson said. The woman in a black halter top and black pants began screaming obscenities at drivers who nearly hit her as she dangerously shimmied across the highway, he said.

By the time officers arrived at the scene, the woman had ducked into the brush near a homeless encampment and run away, Johnson said.

Clinton looks for votes, gets marriage proposal

Posted: 11:02 PM ET

Hillary Clinton looked shocked by one young man's question Friday.

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Voters ask a lot of the nation's White House hopefuls, but Democrat Hillary Clinton looked particularly taken aback by a request from one attendee at a Friday campaign event in the Los Angeles area.

"Hillary, marry me, baby," a man yelled at the New York senator as she finished her economic address and prepared to take questions.

The crowd erupted in laughter, and Clinton looked genuinely shocked as she turned to face the questioner.

"That is certainly the kindest offer I've had in a while," Clinton said to loud cheers.

But she added immediately, "I'd probably be arrested."

Clinton visited delegate-rich California — one of the more than two dozen states to vote February 5 — to lay her economic stimulus package.

The shouted proposal was markedly friendlier than an incident in New Hampshire Monday, when a man yelled at her to "Iron my shirt."

"Ah, the remnants of sexism — alive and well," Clinton responded then.
