You go Vlad! Not sure if you’ve seen these pictures or not, but Russia’s President Vladimir Putin has been launching a publicity campaign to show himself in various shirtless photos in cowboy-like activities.

If you’re thinking the photos bare not just his chest, but an uncanny resemblance to Brokeback Mountain, you may be right. Many bloggers are speculating that Russia is trying to tame down the flames of homophobia. After all, having your country seen as the bigots of Europe can’t be good for business.

I think Vlad looks fab! Work that hot muscular Russian body.

Somebody else is bringing sexy back, but it’s not you and me, it’s the nation’s senior citizens. A new study by the New England Journal of medicine shows that gramps and grandma are getting their groove on.

Americans age 57-85 were interviewed in person about their sexual activities revealing that at least half of them give or receive oral sex two to three times a month.

The biggest problem for men was erection trouble (37%) and in women lack of desire (43%) or vaginal dryness (39%). One of out seven men use Viagra to get an erection. Ouch.

Potatoes! The grow them in the ground. The flesh is white but the skin is brown.

The croatian town of Belica has announced plans to build a theme park dedicated to the delicious, glorious potato.

Beating out plans to dedicate the park to War Veterans, the powerful local farmers’ union pushed the potato theme as a way to praise their favorite starchy vegetable.

Local mayor Zvonimir Taradi praised the vegetable for it’s role in supplying food and wealth for locals for generations.

The park will include a potato themed playground for kids with swings and slides shaped like potatoes, informational plaques extolling the virtues and fun facts on potatoes, and many potato plant flower beds. No plans have been announced yet to sell french fries.

Sal-E joins us today to talk about the “super fan” (I thought he was a homeless guy but it turns out he lives in an apartment in Uptown.) that ran up on stage at Northalsted Street Market Days and almost stole the show. Click here to see Rick’s YouTube Video of him.

Why do people insist on handing drag queens dollar bills when they perform? I’m all for paying performers well and it’s a shame if the venue doesn’t compensate their talent. So why hand out the cash? If you count how much they are tipped, it usually comes to be no more than the price of one cocktail at the bar. I know people want to show their love, but it can be so distracting sometimes, and I just know they don’t like begging for dollars.
