Just call him Gay Davis

It appears beleaguered California Gov. Gray Davis is trying hard to bring liberal Democrats into his camp in time to help boost his poll numbers before he’s recalled by a landslide.

Just last month Davis signed a bill guaranteeing equal rights for transgenders, and now, with his approval rating hovering in the same vicinity as a pre-resignation Richard Nixon’s, the governor has announced his support for AB 205, a domestic partners’ rights bill which has yet to pass the state Senate.

Pundits call the move desperate, since Davis has usually kept quiet about whether he’ll sign a bill before it gets to his desk, let alone before it’s even passed both houses of the legislature.

"As governor, I will continue to do everything within my power to honor the dignity, humanity and privacy of every Californian, regardless of their ethnicity, religion, national origin, gender or sexual orientation," Davis stated.

According to The Sacramento Bee, an opponent of the bill has accused Davis of pandering to gay groups and liberals.

"Davis is desperately trying to get liberal groups to help him stay in office," said Randy Thomasson, executive director of Campaign for California Families. "His eye is obviously not on what makes good policy, but on doing anything and everything to retain political power."

A spokesman for Davis denied this, saying that the governor is merely holding to his long-standing belief in equal rights for all Californians.

Even if they do wanna kick his ass out of office.

The sultan of sexy

Since our armed forces and covert ops have so far failed to nab that most wanted of Muslims, Saddam Hussein, with bombs, missiles, and playing cards, they’re now resorting to desperate measures.

Pin-ups, that is. Yes, in a tradition that stretches from Betty Grable to Pam Anderson, U.S. forces have decided on their newest pin-up girl… Saddam.

According to Reuters, in a campaign set to start this week, U.S. forces plan to put up posters around Saddam's hometown of Tikrit showing his face superimposed on Hollywood heroines and other stars in an attempt to "enrage his followers and draw them out."

Couldn’t they just taunt him playground-style?

Anna and the Kingdom

So you’re a sexy tennis star whose won more Maxim readers’ polls than tournaments, so you need to find income where you can get it. What to do?

Well, in the case of Anna Kournikova, you act as the new tourism ambassador of a SARS-stricken Southeast Asian town whose prime industry is, appropriately enough, sex.

Bangkok’s The Nation is reporting that the Tourism Authority of Thailand has hired the luscious Kournikova to appear in a promotional video for the Kingdom in general, and the town of Pattaya, in which she will conveniently enough be playing at the Volvo Women’s Open during the filming of the video, in specific.

The whole area has been hit hard by SARS, especially in the tourism industry upon which it thrives. Pattaya, a major resort city, is as famous for its multimillion-dollar sex industry as Kournikova is for her… well, not tennis skills, that’s for sure.
