Rodger Jacobs vs Nic Cramer

Rodger Jacobs is still waiting to collect his 1999 AVN Award for Best Screenplay Film (Looker for Pleasure Productions, directed by Nic Cramer). Of all the films he did with Cramer, Jacobs says it is the only one where he wrote the entire screenplay. Yet Cramer gets co-writer credit in the film and in the award.

"Looker was a true original," says Jacobs. "It came from me. It was my own concept. Nic had nothing to do with the writing of the physical screenplay. He may have deleted a scene or two, but it was my script."

Nic took the AVN award that night sixteen months ago, as Jacobs was not at the show. Rodger has yet to receive his award. AVN, through Gene Ross, duplicated an extra award after Rodger repeatedly bugged them for his award. But Ross gave the award to Cramer to give to Rodger. Jacobs says Cramer has yet to cough it up.

Nic Cramer responds: Hi Luke. This is my first time writing into you / responding to gossip. I felt I had to this time because Roger Jacobs / Martin Brimmer is on a smear campaign and he is spreading lies. Let me address what I read yesterday; Yes, Roger wrote the Looker screenplay for me and Yes it was an excellent script. I came up with the title before we even started the work. I gave him the storyline concept that I wanted, the noirish style concept, and I also did some very elaborate rewrites (not just shortening a scene here and there either). Therefore my editor (not me) at the time listed me as second writer on the movie which I still think is an appropriate screen credit. If this remains a dispute I'll be happy to let you (Luke) read both drafts and be the judge yourself.

As for the award/s, I collected all the movies awards (including Rogers) from Gene Ross in AUGUST! Nine months after the awards show. This, I was told, was because they didn't wanna engrave a couple each time so they were building up a batch first. Hence the loooong delay. I then tried to find Roger who had moved to San Francisco thru Jonathan Morgan. Instead I learned that Roger was talking s--- about me saying I f---ed him. Not exactly inspiration to track him down. But I called the number Morgan gave me several times, then it got disconnected. I told Jonathan that if he hears from Roger that I have his statue waiting for him. It's still waiting for him.

I like Roger (or, at least, used to) and think this is a tragic waste of his energy. He should focus on writing instead, that is something he is really good at. Give Roger my phone number, Luke, and tell him to call me. If he has more balls than the statue waiting for him has, it will be his!

Mark Kernes Undercover

AVN reporter and Free Speech Coalition board member Mark Kernes, who's lost about 70 pounds over the past year, writes on GeneRoss.com about infiltrating an anti-porn conference this past weekend. He writes: "I figure either the leaders thought they were avoiding a riot by not "outing" me, or (more likely) they didn't want the regular folks to know there was a pornographer in their midst - especially a well-behaved, well-spoken one who most definitely didn't fit the image they'd built up in their followers' minds over the years: short, fat, unshaven, Jewish (can't forget that part) and blowing cigar smoke in everyone's face."

Here are some photos from Halloween last year of Mark, who's 50 years old, just to disprove that stereotype about pornographers:

Luke: Oh well, not all of us can have Gene Ross's bulging biceps and whipcord thighs.

Luke Loves Lynne

I've decided to give in to my love for Lynne - the CNN Headline News anchor Lynne Russell. Here are some of my favorite Lynne links.

Lynne Russell Lynne and don't forget alt.fan.lynne-russell.

Larry King writes in the 1/24/00 USA Today: "Lynne Russell, the CNN Headline News anchor, has written a spunky book called How to Win Friends, Kick Ass & Influence People (St. Martin' s Press, $23.95). The wildly revealing picture on the back flap probably just got by the censors, and the book is as open as they come. This lady has a lot on the ball. What a good book this is."

Amazon.com: CNN's Lynne Russell is probably the only prime-time anchor with a second-degree black belt, and we're darn certain that she's the only one with multiple tattoos. Not to mention the only one who moonlights as a private investigator and bodyguard. In How to Win Friends, Kick Ass & Influence People, Russell--whose language gets awfully sassy and salty when the cameras aren't rolling--tells readers how she managed to overcome a disastrous first marriage and started a career in broadcast journalism that's now approaching its fourth decade. (The records show that Russell is in her early 50s, against all visible evidence suggesting otherwise.) She also has lots of advice for women, mostly encouraging her readers to "dare to be yourself" at work and play. But there are all sorts of interesting digressions, including tips on how to flirt in Paris (this section also reveals the usefulness of self-defense training; when a masher tried to get fresh at a movie theater, she silently took his hand in hers, then bent a finger back until she heard it snap). Edward R. Murrow might be spinning in his grave for all we care, but How to Win Friends, Kick Ass & Influence People is a fun, sexy read.

Andrew writes on Amazon.com: Russell's slim volume is a jaded, cynical whirlwind of hackneyed metaphors ("Isn't that what Xena would do?") and knee-jerk advice for those who want to reduce people to quick, sound-byte sized definitions. I don't believe that "all women are questioning the very definition of love" (p. 149), just those that have finished reading this book and want to pattern themselves on the author. And can anyone, male or female, take seriously Russell's pigeonholing of personality types? It seems she wants to encourage women to find a deep, lasting relationship by using shallow, witty-for-the-moment quips that will most likely be forgotten faster than last month's headline news.

Atlanta Journal 9/7/98:

Q: I think Lynne Russell of CNN Headline News is the most beautiful woman on television. What is her background? --- Pat Thomas, Atlanta

A: For more than a decade, Russell has been the prime-time weekday evening anchor on Headline News, CNN's sister service. Before that, she spent six years as co-host with Bob Cain on CNN's "The Week in Review." Russell attended the University of Colorado, where she majored in nursing. From 1971 to 1978, she was program director, as well as anchor and host, of a news and interview program at WKAT, a Miami talk radio station. In 1978 and '79, she anchored and reported at WTLV-TV in Jacksonville. After a year as a news anchor and military correspondent for KHON-TV in Honolulu, she joined KENS-TV in San Antonio as an evening news anchor and investigative and courthouse reporter. In 1983, she moved to CNN. She's a licensed private investigator who works part-time as a detective. She's a first-degree black belt in Choi Kwang-Do; a bodyguard to visiting celebrities; and a Fulton County deputy sheriff in the reserve division. She also is certified as an open-water scuba diver.

From www.TheOnion.com: ATLANTA--In an interview in the March issue of Brill's Content, CNN Headline News anchor Lynne Russell described herself as "committed to reporting the cold, hard factoids, no matter what the cost." In the candid interview, Russell is quoted as saying, "Americans eat 850 million pounds of cranberry sauce each Thanksgiving. You may not want to hear that, but it's an undeniable factoid, and I am going to report it." Russell came under fire last year for a controversial report alleging that the average pair of shoes is worn for 14 months.

From the alt.fan.lynne-russell FAQ

Unlike most anchorwomen, Lynne is known to change her hairstyle frequently. To quote Atlanta magazine, "Russell's may be the most carefully scrutinized television 'do' since Howard Cosell put on a rug. Even casual viewers note that one night Russell looks carefully coifed and the next as if she forgot to wear a shower cap -- which is what, in fact, sometimes happens. «Regarding my hair,» volunteers Russell, accustomed to comments, «I have no control over it. I'm just wearing it.» " Her color is primarily dark red, although even that is variable -- at one time during the 80's she even had a very brief stint as a blonde. Some have theorized that she may sometimes wear wigs on the air, but this has not been confirmed. Also, she sometimes wears (and always looks good in) glasses on-air, something that is seen on few other female anchors.

Luke: I have obtained a pair of Lynne Russell's panties. (These were "obtained" from her gym locker by a close personal friend of mine who trains in the same place Lynne does). I tried to open bidding on these on eBay, but their policy prohibits. What better Passover/Easter gift could one ask for? Bids anyone?

Lynne Russell writes in Playboy magazine: Because I'm on camera so much I'm very used to controlling my hand movements ­ so much so, that in my free time I don't use them the way I would if I were, say, a bubble dancer. I don't rest on my elbow when I talk, with my hand flopping around and one finger sticking lazily out. Someone might think it's a comment on the story I'm reading. It's interesting to see how other women use their hands. Some let them lie wherever they land, whether that space is their lap of somebody else's. I've seen women whose fingers seem to have gotten stuck on the top of their breast as they idly contemplate something that amuses them ­ or maybe they're just appreciating the fabric. This also has been known to drive a man nuts, especially if it happens during a staff meeting. Which brings to mind a woman I know who is in the habit of sucking on the end of her index finger when she does math. She's an accountant. She has a large clientele.

There are other things a woman does with her hands when she's concentrating ­ and some of them are legal, such as playing with her hair. If it's long, she can wind it around her fingers and there's a lot of action ­ a little caress here, a little curl there, pulling this, tugging and stretching that, and before you know it she has created, perhaps quite innocently, that unstudied, postcoital look guaranteed to send male imaginations spinning out of control.

The female of the species has the option of unleashing the Ultimate Secret Weapon that is so subtle yet so powerful that it is the most lethal of all mating calls when executed properly. This one is performed in one smooth motion, and it is never an accident: she raises her arm, running her slightly separated fingers up the side of her neck, elbow high and out, raising and showing off the line of her breast, head back. Her hand continues its ever so slow journey up her neck all the way to the ends. You watch this smoldering, universal message and wonder if there is some mistake. There isn't. And if she should happen to arch her back during this maneuver, you will swear your shoes are on fire.

Chaim Amalek writes: Yes, when watching her on CNN Luke often finds himself staring at the contours of her blouse, wondering what's doing underneath those clothes. If only she were young enough to have my children - and Jewish. I often think that I would have more respect for Mr. Bill Clinton if he had banged her to the exclusion of that silly fat secular jewish princess Monica Lewinsky. (By the way, is Monica at all active in the LA jewish community? Have I ever run into her say, in Beverley Hills or any of the other posh places we power jews hang out?) -Luke F-rd, writing to myself while sitting on a veritable Y2K stockpile of shmura matzos.

Luke Again: No, Monica is not a presence in the Jewish world of Los Angeles, outside of various up-market shops. Vegemite tastes really good on a matzah!

Alex writes: Luke, Do you think these are real? I suppose an Atlanta resident could confirm in a minute, since they supposedly come from local Atlanta publications. If they are, and I believe they are, then god has bestowed upon us yet another true goddess!!!!! How many women can pull off wearing glasses the way she does? Finally, WWF style, how bout them puppies?!?!?

Luke: I think her breasts are real. She's a real woman. At least in the first two pictures.

AVN Conference

Big porners are putting in long hours at conferences in Hawaii. Edward Wedelstedt has acted bizarrely. Some have speculated that he suffers from Tourettes Syndrome. He proclaimed loudly that he did not offer last year to have me whacked, though about six independent sources, including Rolling Stone, say he did. Adultery reigns near the top of AVN.

VCA Drops Controversial Segment of Holmes Documentary

I hear that VCA has dropped a controversial segment of its documentar Wadd, about the life of John Holmes.

In the segment, John's longtime manager and friend, Bill Amerson, calls John's widow Laurie a hooker. The statement precipitated a lawsuit by Laurie against VCA, director Cass Paley and Bill Amerson, as well as against me for republishing the statements.

Before I left for Australia, I completed the first round of the discovery phase in my XXX suit. I was asked to produce all evidence I have in relationship to my article in September, which stated that a skinny woman with an uncanny resemblance to Lake was caught on video having sex with a dog. I believe that the segment comes from the American Dog Pound series, which appears to be shot in an insurance office. Anyone with info about this series, or particular segment, should contact me. I want to get a better quality version of the original tape. And I'd love any information about the people who made the tape.

Who is this? Who? Who? Who? Who?

Luke: My lawyers need an expert, preferably around LA, who can look at the videotape I have of the incident, listen to the sound and examine the pictures, compare them with the plaintiff, XXX, and render a judgement whether the woman in the tape is Christi. Many experts in this area do not want to touch this particular case because of its tawdry overtones. Email Luke

XXX says the girl in the pictures is not her. She has never participated in bestiality and she is suing me for defamation for suggesting the possibility that it might be her.

Bud writes on RAME: It's not Christi and Luke can't show her face because nowhere in the video is her's, or anyone's, face ever shown. However, the girl in the video has a larger bust and wider hips than Christi. And the other girl in the tape is younger and more petite than Christi. If you've ever seen these series of tapes, you'll notice they seem to be video-taped in some kind of Insurance Office. I'd like to meet the guy that runs that office! I believe the pics are from the 'American Dog Pound' series of videos. (You've got to see the episode with the brunette that likes to take her Labrador's cock up her ass!) Kerri Downs, Kelli Giraffe, and Chessie Moore aren't the only bestialists. Some think it's Mona or Lisa but, I don't recognize the ladies, however the dog looks familiar. . . Lassie Cum Home! (Ain't it great? In one month on this ng, we've taken American Porn from pissing, to fisting, to bestiality. . .)

John writes on RAME: I have quite a collection of these type tapes and trade them frequently. This tape has been around for a while but I watched it again tonight (because I recognized the pics) and there is only one time in the whole 14 minute scene where this girl sort of makes her face visible (but not really visible). She also talks a bit right there. And there is one time where her pelvis is kind of displayed (but again, not really visible) and I couldn't find the heart on. In the whiffs of this girl that I had, I agree that she is not Lake (too bad). This and the other scenes on this tape are in English but were, obviously, recorded without revealing the girls.

Luke: Anyone with information on Laurie Holmes working as a hooker should also contact me.

Laurie lives with HIV positive Tony Montana who's been pimping her out the past eight months. Aside from flippping tricks, she's recently reentered porno.

When Laurie first saw a rough cut of the Wadd documentary, she flipped while watching a scene where Amerson talks about her flipping tricks. Laurie said she would sue if that scene was retained in the documentary. It initially was and she did.

In the documentary Wadd, Amerson says: "Laurie was known as the buttf---ing queen of the porn industry... She said that she really wanted to meet John and that she wanted all of that in her ass... John was amused but didn't think it was going to happen. So off camera they did that and it did happen. She fell in love with John... He had no respect for her whatsoever.

"She was a hooker. While she was making a movie, during the breaks, she'd get dressed... She always dressed as a little girl because she knew that she could make more money from men if she looked younger. She'd go hitchhike around the blocks and turn tricks in the car and come back in time for the scene.

"John asked if she could move in and be his housekeeper and maid and do all those things. There were times in the summer when I would hear voices from the bedroom saying, 'Bill, Bill,' and John was out swimming in the pool. And she would be lying there naked in the bedroom, tied up, and John had had an orgasm all over her face and walked off. That's how much John loved her.

"John tried to run over her with the car twice in the driveway. She had insurance. He wanted to collect the insurance money.

"John liked her because she was nasty. She would do anything. Anything."

Amerson's son: "She was like a gnat, bugging around all the time and trying to get in the middle of things. And John was really harsh to her."

Earl Slate Arraigned

While in the middle of preparing for Passover, which starts Wednesday night, I got a call from Metro contract girl Kianna Bradley.

She said Earl was being arraigned today to face charges relating to three outstanding warrants against him. He will be arraigned on April 25th to face charges of causing corporal injury (a more severe charge than domestic violence) to Kianna last Thursday, the 13th of April. (See this update Apr 16.)

Kianna: "I called the jail and they said they were not going to let him out.

"They said that corporal injury is worse than domestic violence... They took pictures of my injuries.

"My dumb ass is on his boat, cleaning it up, getting all the [drug] paraphenalia off of it. I'm such a dork."

Referring to her beating at the hands of her husband Earl Slate aka Tony Stearns, Kianna Bradley received this email from whitesluts@hotmail.com: "Re: beating Too bad Tony didn't kill you. Maybe next time."

Erotica LA Six Weeks Away

Luke: I snagged this from www.zeboray.com:

For those of you planning to attend Erotica LA, here is some important information for you:

1)Erotica LA 2000 will be held at the Los Angeles Convention Center, June 2nd, 3rd & 4th;

2) Talent signing with exhibitors/vendors will be on the talent list and provided arm bands at no charge;

3) All Talent, as always, is welcome and should contact Ron Miller directly (RonMiller@Erotica-LA.com) for admission information;

4) All Talent wanting their pictures posted on the Erotica LA website may submit images to Ron in jpeg format, and they will be posted;

5) There will be several "after parties" planned, including the FOXE awards (contact Bill Margold regarding the awards show), and Ron will have the information on these parties in approximately 30 days prior to the show. Once the party (or parties) information is known, it will posted here;

6) Tell all your fans that they will be allowed to bring their cameras and take pictures;

7) And remember, no flashing and/or nudity is permitted. Like any adult industry events, LAPD will be there in force (as always), so please obey the law. :)

Ron Miller is always available and please to respond to any and all question via e-mail (RonMiller@Erotica-LA.com) or pager (818-750-8570).

Ron Miller writes about the Family Medical Center (12629 Riverside Drive North, Hollywood, 818-487-1987) to Greg Zeboray:

I must say that both Brooke and I were VERY impressed and quite happy with the treatment we received. It is especially nice to visit a REAL medical office for our DNA testing, it made both of us feel more secure as we spoke with a doctor, (who also drew our blood, personally). Additionally, the professionalism made us feel that the adult industry is truly a business to be proud to be a member of.

I guess what I am trying to say is that Family Medical places the adult industry in the same positive light that I try to do with EROTICA LA. In addition to the DNA testing I had a complete blood panel drawn and was very pleased at the prompt and professional manner in which the result of those tests were obtained, explained and review with me, (once again by the doctor, personally).

Brooke and I are both planning to use Family Medical for our general medical needs, both because of the care, treatment and over all professional atmosphere and the fact that we don't feel that we have to explain what we do, business wise. I think that the fact that all talent should feel comfortable in disucussing their individual medical concerns directly with a doctor without the fear or apprehension of being "judged" is the biggest plus Family Medical offers. While I will still be supplying a booth to AIM at EROTICA LA this year I will also be supplying a booth to Family Medical but, for health care and testing Family Medical is our choice of providers.

Once again, Greg, thanks for taking the time to follow-up, it is personally appreciated and underscores the professionalism of the facility and all involved. Regards, Ron & Brooke

P.S.: Please feel free to pass along any of my comments to talent and/or other interested parties. While I don't want to become involved in the obvious power struggle between AIM and Family Medical I am compelled to support what I believe is in the best interest of all the people active in our industry.

Gossip

Luke: As I call around the porn industry after my return from Australia, it seems that business is good. Many people are shooting. Sin City is shooting a bunch of movies. Nic Cramer is directing two of them this week. They had a hiatus while their temporary contract girl Kameryn had her ups and downs before leaving the company.

Editors and duplicators and sales folks all report business is good. I hear that VCA's Russ Hampshire did not go to the AVN Conference, which is unusual.

Rob Spallone and James DiGiorgio just shot four gonzos for VCA and will soon shoot Sopornos 2. DiGiorgio just finished shooting Plaid 2.

For the first time, Spallone will no longer return Luke's phone calls. And neither will Kendra Jade, who lives at Rob's house.

Financial difficulties have caused Rodger Jacobs to return to writing porno screenplays. He's penned them for Wicked, VCA and his old nemesis Craig Vasiloff, who pays promptly when its his own money. Rodger will probably write for Craig's new mainstream magazine Razor.

Durango writes: lukey, theres this girl named Sophia that was in "anal adventures of max hardcore, sunset blvd." When i asked Max at ces about her he got crazy and red and said he had to pull the movie from the shelves cause she threatened legal actions on him. whats the scoop on this? you cant find this vid anywhere and supposedly the masters have been destroyed. whats up luke? something happened.

I hear that Vivid girl Taylor Hayes, an alcoholic, had a dance booking cancelled in South Florida because she was drunk. They sent her home.

Las Vegas's Venetian Hotel has sold out for the early July AVN Expo.

Den writes: Did shay sweet retire or is she coming back again? What is going on with Jenna Jameson is she with wicked or what?

Luke: Shay has left Sin City but she's still making movies. Jenna may sign with Vivid Video.

Meanwhile, at the AVN Conference in Hawaii, love is in the air. I've heard about various adulterous affairs going on among leading executives, including one at AVN.

PAQ writes: "LOVE??? COMMITMENT??? VOWS??? PROMISES??? These things don't truly exist in PORNLAND. Anyone who believes these things is only accepting a lie. They tell themselves this everyday in hopes of making themselves feel that they can f--- on film and yet still have a family at home with dinner on the table and a good conversation about a day at work while the kids watch Johnny Bravo on the Cartoon Network. Few understand the love, loyalty, understanding, patience, and work involved in making a marriage last. You can't ask an industry filled with viagra, "X", drugs, orgies and every deviant sexual act imaginable to produce individuals with strong moral fiber. Especially the fiber that holds a marriage sacred and valued as the day a couple said their vows. Affairs happen in the "real world" with limited temptations so this AVN affair can't be of any surprise to anyone in this type of industry which has a vast array of sexual temptations. f---ing goes on in the Valley...both literally and emotionally. If people get hurt....Well it's their own fault. Dignity isn't found here. Pointing fingers is funny. All of us in the industry are in an affair to one extreme or another. From the newly arrived porn starlet and her illustrious suitcase pimp to the head of some porn company sweeping some veteran pornstar off to Cancun. THIS IS PORNLAND. ENJOY!!"

Nick Adams writes on RAME: Dave Cummings had a brief run-in with the law over a weekend shoot recently. If I remember correctly, he and and a certain lady were shooting at an office building. Someone pulled into the parking lot to let their dog take a leak, noticed all the cars in the parking lot of a closed building and called the cops. Nobody got in trouble, though. The cop just wanted to know what was up. But, yeah, if you want to borrow someone's place of business to use as a set, weekends are good times to find it empty. Most guys would rather have you shoot on Sunday than to have to explain you to their receptionists.

Is Haider a Homo - Or Just Semitic Smear?

From The Guardian:

Jörg Haider, the de facto leader of the far-right Freedom party in Austria, has been "outed" by German and Austrian newspapers who claim he is a homosexual.

But, say the newspapers, it has been reluctant to release the evidence, fearing an outburst of hate towards the gay community "that would overtake the hatred towards foreigners", according to the owner of one of Vienna's well-known gay bars.

According to Taz, many members of Vienna's gay scene are ready to confirm the reports. They claim he regularly has sex with young men below the age of consent - 18 for homosexuals. As a result, says Taz: "These days he prefers to meet with boys from nearby Slovakia" (where the age of consent is 15). The paper also refers to Mr Haider's alleged cocaine habit.

Chaim Amalek writes: Haider a homosexual? Well, if this is true, and if it has been known to the Austrians for ten years, then certainly it was known to our media elite for about as long. And given their hatred of his politics, they would have unloaded with every spec of dirt on this guy that they knew of, including that of the fecal kind - unless an even stronger force presented itself. A very, VERY strong force. Again, very interesting, IF true. Otherwise, just a political attack.

As a footnote to this, while gays often declare themselves to have been victims of Nazi hatred just like jews, some of them were quite prominent among the earliest backers of Hitler. For example, I believe that Ernst Roehm, the leader of the SA (STURMABTEILUNG, or BROWNSHIRTS) preferred the male rectum to the female vagina. Given the misinformation and disinformation on the topic of Nazis then and homosexuals now, it is tough to find a contemporary source of information that deals honestly with this. Anyway, he and his cohorts proved to be too radical for the regular German army, so Adolf had his old friend killed in the so-called "Night of the Long Knives," along with the rest of the SA leadership.

As a further aside, the strength of homosexual power in American politics is one of the great untold stories of the age. I am aware of at least one generally conservative - centrist state that had both a very prominent gay mayor and a gay governor at the same time. But none of the working press ever made mention of this. (The gayness of each was widely assumed among those in the political know. To be fair, each was a decent enough leader of his respective party, and I am unaware of any evidence that their sexual orientation had any affect on their politics or programs. But this was a while back. Were such a story to be written with honesty and candor about the lesbians in the Clinton administration, a very different story would emerge.)

So how about it, all you Austrian fans of l-keford.Com, any truth to this? Or is this just a semitic homophobic smear to sully sodomy? (Over to you, Arnold S.)

And to be doubly fair to the gays (see how even Chaim Amalek bends over backwards - but never forwards - to be fair to gays?), if the guy were 100% hetero, would any of us point to his sexuality as something that informed his politics? Still, if he is gay, the fact that the media have kept this a secret is still further evidence of the power of homosexuals. Seems that the only institution to which one is permitted to point out the presence of gays is the Roman Catholic Church. (Of course, what else can you expect from a group of men who live together and officially forbid vaginal intercourse?)

Chaim Amalek, Liberal Upper West Side Jew

PS Luke, I re-read some of the reports. If any hetero politician were known to be having sex with 15 or 16 year old girls, there is no scenario under which the press would hold back. Not even Clinton would be able to get away with that. Which, again, is NOT to say that the reports about Haider are correct.

Steve Neece writes Luke: Your column over the last week has become increasingly paranoid,schizophrenic and posessed of religious mania . As for sexual ideals,it all depends on the group. To an intelligent,rational and non violent group that has not been exposed to the virus of religion most any sane sexual code that is non exploitive and non coercive will be successful.On the other hand,and sexual code,no matter how permissive or repressive,will be a dismal failure when practiced by low I.Q. disfunctional populaces.

May I remind you that during the time ancient Greek civilization was at its zenith homosexuality was the social ideal,especially among the higher classes.As for brother/sister intercourse,the royal lines of Pharoanic Egypt,ancient Hawaii,and the Inca civilization of South America were all perpetuated by brother/sister marriages as only royal blood was thought to be acceptable for breeding.When Alexander the Great conquered Egypt his lieutenant Ptolemy ruled after his death and adopted the custom of brother/sister marriage to his descendants,the last of which,the famed Cleopatra,was a product of 3 centuries of such matings.She was a Macedonian Greek and not an Egyptian.

To Chaim Amalek,your contempt is becoming ever more apparent and is overriding your former rationality.Your contempt and patronizing of Lynne and Laura is especially odious.Likewise your observations of Annie Sprinkle.As for your observation that there must be easier ways for Stacy Valentine to make a living.If you mean legally and making the same money the answer is an obvious NO! As for her stepmother, I think porn is a better alternative than drug abuse,child abuse,being abused by a spouse ,being an activist for any number of repressive political or religious causes,filling your offsprings head with mind numbing religious brain rot etc.Why is sex the sole measure of a womans morality and dignity ? That in itself is an incredibly demeaning concept,as if nothing else matters.Think about it Chaim!

To Lynne,you are on target,re.looksism.Not to mention that the most physically attractive people are hardly ever good lovers.As for Curious,you have no one to blame but yourself for your shallowness.Quit blaming others for your inadequacies and try and correct them.Lynne,for the record your observations and postings reveal a highly developed consciousness that seems to be ever expanding.You are certainly the infinite moral superior of your detractors and its a shame the porn industry never appreciated you.I hope you can pull Luke up to your level of enlightenment and morality but I don't think he has the necessary strength of character.Just don't let him drag YOU down.

To Cob.You are a subhuman piece of s---.You probably jack off envisioning the murder of Jon Benet Ramsey or something equally odious.I do hope that you never breed though I know there are millions of females out there that are slavish and subhuman enough to do so with you.

Speaking of slavish,has Kianna Bradley seen the error of her ways?Does she see the connection between "Rough Sex" and her current predicament? It is the theory put into practice.What made you hate it this time ? Was he putting the words in your mouth when you defended "Rough Sex" saying this was what got you off and you were fortunate to have people that would indulge this bent.? Did you change your mind or were you fibbing before?

As for porn marriages,I think Nina Hartleys has lasted far longer than most non porn marriages and I am sure there are others. Luke,do you think you are more ethical and moral than Veronica Hart,Candida Royalle,Kay Parker or Nina Hartley? If so,give me the reasons. Porn as art? The top 1 or 2% of all the vids ever made qualify. The people responsible have every right to be proud.Veronica,Annette,Kay,Hyapatia etc. have probably done more good for humanity than most of the big name Hollywood stars,past and present.They not only entertained,they enlightened. Speaking of which,you seem to be attracting a growing number of mysogynistic sexual cripples . You need to ask yourself why that is. Awaiting your reply.

SexAddict replies to Chaim: 'Chaim', you may amuse with your shocker-semite material but you do not pay attention to your genetics. No it is not absolutely necessary for whites to mate with blacks. Yes there are advantages to both keeping relatively pure white, black or whatever strains (for feeding those genes back in) AND to white-black mixes.

The operative genetic principle here is hybrid vigor or heterosis- the combination of two distinct strains of a species yields greater size, disease-resistance, and other desirable traits than if the strains maintain their separation. The boost does not last for more than two generations . This does occur in humans as well as animals- not surprising, DNA is DNA. To be able to gain the most value genetically, we have to be able to identify the various genetic groupings, keep certain lines pure without recessives, and mix in to strengthen positive traits.

Miscegenation, or mongrelization as the racists style it, would be bad if theoretically EVERYONE ended up with the same genetic baseline, some mix proportionate to the various racial strains with the same immune system. Then we would have a final biodiversity problem during which we humans could potentially be vulnerable to a species-fatal disease. Genetic drift would eventually solve that problem but that would take several generations. A darn good reason to forego cloning, too.

Were eugenics practiced in a dispassionate fashion, we would maintain all strains and breed for both specialized humans and the maximum amount of mixes for optimal biodiversity. Since we humans are not keen on being told who to have babies with by genetic overlords, I say go wild and let the mysterious nature of lust and the human heart take it's course without racial limits. We will get many who will stay within the comfort zone of their own racial grouping, and others who will taste of exotic fruit, so the results will be reasonably close to biodiversity's aims.

The problem I have with Pierce, Duke, et. al. arguing that blacks are inferior is that these gentlemen do not take circumstance and culture into account. There are behavioral traits that a given people have and some may well be genetic in nature. We see that in animals, it would be impudent to assume humans are not the same. That possibility does not mean that behaviors are determined simply on the basis of melanin count.

For instance, the Irish are famous for drinking, moodiness, poetry and combative personalities. Does that mean that ALL white people are that way, or that Irish behavior is not cultural in nature? I think it more likely that a given tribe (whether Bavarian or Hutu) has certain behavioral predispositions which are brought out by cultural background and familial upbringing. It will take a great deal of scientific work and maturity on the part of humanity before we can sort this all out and get to the truth of race, behavior and society.

I have not read the Bell Curve, but I do wonder if he factored in quality of the schools and financial circumstances of the family the test subjects were from. I have never heard of "The Wealth and Poverty of Nations"- I will have to check it out.

Luke: Here's my position on racism. I oppose racism when the word is understood to mean hurtful behavior towards an innocent person on the basis of the person's race. Such as not hiring someone solely because he is black or Jewish or asian or whatever. Or making racial slurs to the person to put him down and make him feel bad. Or beating someone up because of their skin color or sexual orientation. I regard those behaviors as disgusting.

But I don't have a problem with what people think. If people believe that Jews are exploitive or blacks are this or that, so long as the person with the racist thoughts acts in a decent way, I have no problem. Nor do I have a problem with ethnic jokes, so long as they are not made to ridicule or put down someone present (or hurt specific persons not present). I have no problem with John Rocker's general comments about New Yorkers, young mothers and "queers with AIDS." If he made those comments to put down specific people (as opposed to New Yorkers or homosexuals in general), or used those words to hurt and embarrass specific persons, then I think that is wrong.

It is similar to my position on gossip and many other questionable practices. When gossip is used to hurt an innocent person, and the sum total of the gossip is needless suffering, I think the gossip is wrong. When gossip is used to warn people about unethical people, or is the harmless sharing of personal information, then I think it is harmless.

That I publish something on my website, like the evil racist rantings of Dr. William Pierce, does not mean that I support them.

I love to capture reality, even when it is messy and unpleasant. Here's an example. A few years ago, I attended a class by a black hatted Orthodox rabbi who'd been raised in Munsie, a Jewish ghetto in New York state. The class was specifically for members of my liberal temple.

While illustrating a point, the Orthodox rabbi said something like this. "It's like the old question of why blacks are less intelligent. Is it genetics or socio-economic conditions." A liberal Jew at the table took such great offense at the supposition that blacks might be less intelligent, that he never returned to the class. The Orthodox rabbi later apologized.

Such comments by the Orthodox rabbi are common in Orthodox life, which tends to be much more insular, conservative than non-Orthodox Jewish life, let alone American life. Liberal Jews tend to be very liberal in racial matters. Much of the funding for the NAACP over the years has come from liberal Jews. These Jews tend to drop the specific observances of Judaism, and transfer that religious fervor into liberal politics. Instead of seeking to rid the world of personal sin, they seek to rid it of racism and environmental degradation.

On totally another subject, I read with interest the latest Time magazine cover story on testosterone. In my decade long struggle with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, at various times, I tried supplementary injections of testosterone, which tended to make me feel stronger and better. I've thought of returning to these injections, as I've been feeling particularly apathetic the last few months. I have no drive and ambition. I have no sex drive.

Lynne writes: Stay away from testosterone shots if you can -- hormone supplements seem to exacerbate various types of cancer. Did they run an endocrine blood study on you along with the psychological tests? If you have a hormonal deficiency of some kind you would want regular supplements, rather than occasional massive infusions of whatever substance.

Taking crystal meth or heroin will also give you a false sense of strength and energy, but you know better than to get involved with hard drugs.

And I still suggest you try Prozac. It takes about six weeks to start having a beneficial effect and it's very subtle, but it works to rearrange your brain chemistry if you suffer from serotonin problems. And you absolutely cannot get high on it. Believe me, I'd know.

But ultimately I suspect you don't want to feel better -- you might be expected to accomplish something and you won't have your favorite cop-out excuse. And don't you deliberately try to suppress your sex drive? So why complain about not having one? If you had one, you'd be wanting to tarnish me with it and that you can't handle. No, seriously, you keep reporting major signs of depression and refuse to consider treating it with the most obvious antidote.

I've been thinking about my need for physical contact rather than sexual contact, and why I want a human rather than a Labrador. (Sorry, Tobi.) Last night I glanced into the bedroom and saw Tobi with her head on the pillow, stretched out like a sleeping human. When she noticed me looking, she returned to dog posture. She wants to be a human, but she can't be. For example, she can't rationalize that something that hurts could be good for her. Her doggie self comes out. It took three of us to hold her down to take a little blood for a test yesterday, and we had to muzzle her.

It reminds me of you -- you pretend that you are acting normal by going through the motions, but you know it's for appearance, and that really you're hollow inside. Being full scares you, because your emotions scare you. When, as a child, you acted them out, you were suspected of being crazy.

When I react to your feelings of sadness by wanting to hold you, it's healthy and normal. When you react to my desire to comfort you by pushing me away, it's just the opposite. A symptom of illness. I'm not in Portland for any reason having to do with you, but it's to your benefit that I am. It makes it easier for you to listen.

Lynne addresses Steve Neece's comments about Luke and Morality: As we learn in Anarchy 101, basing one's moral code on an the institution of religion leads to an inability to develop a true sense of morality. I've always posited that I'm more moral than Luke, because I base my decision-making on the effects of my actions, rather than on some external framework based on any organized religion. Luke is like a rudderless ship on a cloudy night -- he is continually searching for guidance, but instead gets tossed around by the waves of the external world because he doesn't have the tools for navigation.

He relies on inadequate systems and, when he doesn't get what he needs, blames his apathy on himself, or on some hypothetical physiological problem that can be "cured." But he was socialized to take this path by his family, which he loves despite the way they condemn his every attempt to find himself. I don't worry about "sinking to Luke's level," because I love him too much to do anything which would damage my ability to serve as a role model, for example adopting a moral code based on religious delusion. When I talk to myself, I know who answers back, and it's that same person I have to face in the mirror each morning. (And she's very cute, thank you very much.)

Luke, my love for you energizes me, but your love for me paralyzes you. (And it's not because I'm not cute enough, gentlemen.) That's one way we can tell that you're f---ed up, Luke, and I'm not.

Luke: I've just finished reading "The Keys to the Kingdom: How Michael Eisner Lost His Grip", which I found tiresome. It's a real disappointment compared to Kim Masters' last book "Hit and Run," about Guber and Peters taking Sony for a ride. But I mesmerized by the book "Dish" by Jeannette Walls. It gives the inside story on the world of gossip since Walter Winchell.

Luke: I found this interesting article by George Gilder (a hero of mine) in today's Wall Street Journal about insider trading:

The law for information disclosure by public companies and those aspiring to go public prohibits the release of materially significant news unless it is published simultaneously to the world. This well-meaning rule is supposed to create a level playing field, so that no investors have the advantage of inside knowledge. But the result is to reduce the amount of real information reflected in stock prices.

Under the existing regime, information does not bubble up from firms spontaneously in raw and ambiguous form, with executives and engineers freely expressing their views and even investing on the basis of them. It emerges instead as various forms of processed public relations, administered by lawyers. Intended to prevent fraud and insider trading, this rule does not prevent criminals from manipulating markets. Criminals, after all, observe the law only in order to break it more ingeniously. The idea of stopping them by reducing information for everyone else makes as much sense as trying to stop terrorists by making all travelers lie at airports about the complete control of their luggage.

i agree that any "non-forcible", to paraphrase, system of sexual mores is acceptable to most societies but are you also claiming that the greeks were more sexually grounded because they had "...not been exposed to the virus of religion"? - the f---ing greeks? don't blame me for getting the wrong idea; i'm just reading what you wrote.

likewise, you assert that one Stacy Valentine is incapable of actually getting equal pay in a less controversial occupation - apparently because she is some sort of power-affirming icon for having the guts to f--- for money instead of actually pursuing an education and aspiring to greater things - whereas we are all just "mysoginistic, sexual cripples" of "low I.Q. populaces". maybe kianna bradley should be cleaning your f---ing boat... "Why is sex the sole measure of a woman's dignity and morality?" - are you reading the same f---ing column i am?: "what i do is art... i believe in what i do... i've got 17846 degrees in everything except quantum physics (i was sick that day) and i still f--- for money... that bitch did a mountain of coke and blew everyone on the set and i hate her and i'm gonna kick her ass and she blows fish - i've got pictures!..." whatever."

Lynne...your observations and postings reveal a highly developed consciousness that seems to be ever expanding.You are certainly the infinite moral superior of your detractors and its a shame the porn industry never appreciated you.I hope you can pull Luke up to your level of enlightenment and morality..." now, i actually agree that ms. L-patin is an intelligent woman but the only thing expanding here is her asshole; you tongued it so hard that she couldn't even write her daily, 50,000 word essay on why luke won't f--- her! lynne has some intelligent things to say but i hardly get to see them, as they are crouched in some endless diatribe about dreams of luke's dick, i dropped my f---ing keyboard, and i'm looking at my goddamned dog!... it's kind of sad to be called a mysoginist by people who have stars in their eyes about pornography... get a suitcase, tie your hair in pigtails, and take a bus to max hardcore's house; i'm sure he'd love to discuss the finer merits of this business with you.

Dennis Prager Show

Luke: In the first hour of his nationally syndicated radio show, Dennis Prager condemned Antioch College in Philadelphia for using convicted cop killer Mumia as its graduation keynote speaker (in a prerecorded address from jail).

In his second hour, Prager talked Passover and freedom. Prager said that God was necessary for freedom.

P talked about a cabdriver he met in the South who said that he was a drug addict before finding Jesus. P totally believed that by finding the Lord through Jesus, this man was able to extricate himself from drugs. The most successful programs to get people out of addictions depend on God - a Higher Power.

Prager says you need access to a higher power to break powerful addictions.

What are you enslaved to? TV, emotional dependences, workaholicism?

Chaim Amalek writes: What were you doing up so early - hunting down chometz? (By the way, suppose a piece of chometz is tracked in by a mouse, insect or other vermin that dwells in your home? Since this would be a bad thing, it follows that in preparing for Passover, one should hunt down such vermin as zealously as jewish mythology asserts God hunted down the first born sons of Egypt.)

Regarding the posts by putative black man MK, since he has admitted that he is a SubGenius, perhaps his writings are the intended rants of a "Wigger", a Caucasian attempting to sound and read black by assuming as many of the negative stereotypes white liberals have of black men as can be conveyed via email (REALLY bad spelling, shaky command of the facts, lots of threats and bluster masking an argument that would better have been made by someone else). Worse yet, he might even be some pale, pitiful yeshiva boy in some in-bred Jewish ghetto, trying to sound the way he imagines a Jegroe should, based on listening to hip-hop music (furtively, of course).

THE NEXT FEW PARAGRAPHS ARE FOR YOUR EYES ONLY

Regarding that other set of posts you mentioned, look - they belong with discussions of "The American Dog Kennel" series of videos. Real discussion assumes a minimal, irreducible set of assumptions about the manner in which people should live their lives that are taken as axioms. I mean, even wild animals know not to do that sort of crap. This is not good for you. Suppose you meet a nice jewish or gentile girl who can stomach most of your web site. (Praise Allah!) Once she hits stuff like that, she will lose her lunch and put a caller block on your telephone number. She might even go gay; who knows what evil might follow?

And speaking again of things that it does not profit you to publish or print - "The American Dog Kennel" series of videos? Honest to s---, I know that you need the info for your defense, but most normal people do not ever think about stuff like that. Hell, even most statistical outlyers do not ever consider the meaning you intend when reading those words. What sort of woman would associate with a man who casually accuses a woman of such conduct? Or with a man who owns a video that concerns horse-play of a most unsportsman-like sort? Better to stick to lobsters and other arthropods. (Have you ever seen the "American Ant-Hill" series of videos? Me neither.)

OK, enough of the lecture from this stooped little old jew. Best wishes to you Luke and to all the yearning yapping yids in LukeLand (and Happy Easter to the Goyim who do not hate them) for a happy Passover.

PPS Can you imagine what a mess Passover would be if the holiday were celebrated by the Irish (a people with many good and wonderful traits, a cultural inclination towards sobriety not being one of them)? Rav Chaim Amalek, Liberal Jew
