If You Happen To Live in Dayton:

We made the lead story on every station in Dayton tonight. Channel 45 the local Sinclair owned station ran some sound bites of an interview with me, including clips of me saying “We don’t strip in your church, don’t preach in our clubs”.

Thats yours truly counter-protesting.

This, not too bright protestor agreed to have a picture made with me and Fifi….Now she is famous….

I love Dayton, when I go to the clubs here people recognize me, they come up and say hello, they are genuinely nice.

Credit Where It’s Due:

You all know that I have been hard on the Free Speech Coalition in past years, and I am still hard on them in certain areas, but they deserve some credit for standing up to the Department of (no) Justice in preparing motions to challenege the coming revisions to the Record Keeping Act. It is the right thing to do and I applaud them for doing it. Hopefully they can use the to springboard the organization into what it should be.

And Last But Not Least Carmen Luvana and I :

Will be co-hosting a huge Halloween Bash Friday night in Toronto. We’d love to have you there with us! Its a bargain!

Hey Mike! First of all…GODDAMN IT! I try to hate you and you keep printing shit that keeps me coming back to your site. Fuck you for that. LOL

Anyway, about a year ago I talked to a friend of mine who is the daughter of a former assistant FBI director. I’m not going to mention names. Regardless, she said that her father believes they have had Bin Laden in custody for quite some time and the gov’t has been holding him for the “right time” to announce that we got him.

She states that her father doesn’t know this to be true but has said that when he was assistant FBI director, they handled business in that fashion all the time.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s right and just before election time, Bush declares another victory on terrorism by announcing the capture of Osama.

Later Hick,

Wank

This crossed my mind as well, and if it’s true, turn out the lights, the party is over, Bush will win in a landslide, even though many people have predicted that this will happen, myself included. But I also predicted Bush would engineer the price of gas back to about a dollar a gallon and that hasnt happened. This ones gonna be interesting but I believe my source, something will happen.

YOU READ IT HERE!:

Something Is Going To Happen This Weekend That John Kerry Will NOT Like:

I don’t know exactly what, but I have it from a very high level and trusted source that Bush is going to pull another surprise, like his surprise visit to Iraq. It may even be another visit to Iraq.

With the election a virtual dead heat in at least 2 states that could tip the scales to one candidate or the other (OH, FL), every little thing that either candidate can do to eek out a few more votes helps.

I have made it pretty clear who I am voting for, or more importantly who I am NOT voting for. I will NOT lay my freedom at the feet of the Imperial Federal Government so that they may “protect me”.

George Bush has not done one thing worthy of re-election with the possible exception of standing up to the UN and Iraq, though the focus certainly has shifted from Al-Queda to Saddam.

Anyhow If you are reading this in Ohio, Florida, Rennsylvania, or Wisconsin, you are in a position to make this election go either way. Encourage your friends to get out and VOTE, preferably for Kerry….

Congrats to My Buddy RobbyD Who Won:

Best American Director at the Venus Awards, and to Jesse Jane for winning Best American Acress.

I am in the porn industry sort of ( damn near bout to be camel balled..lol) i wrote this email to you because you and a hand full of others are the only ones who stuck up for my family when George Bush invaded my country and did not allow the soldiers who fought for America to enjoy porn. This is my list of things about the porn biz i noticed over time:

1. if you have head lice and work for top comapanies or have certain contracts they will let you keep towel on.

2.girls who can’t get work for top name comapanies turn tricks with other Iraqi men in sleezy Vegas hotel rooms.

3.most white boy porn studs named Lockwood who don’t own their own company or videos tend to act like bitches.

4.IR is not an abbreviation for Iraqi Racial scenes

5. a pornstar and a hooker are not the same thing…hookers fuck cheaper..(lol)

6. modeling agencies don’t want to represent Iraqi porn stars but we get lots of bachelor party requests with donkeys involved

7. ACTING IN COVERED FACE IS STILL ALIVE AND WELL IN 2004 except for young men who do anal sex in Lumberjack movies

8. people who have an Iraqi accent on a plane tend to be taken very seriously(i am from Baghdad..wink)

9.the new turn on for porn girls is anthrax and beheadings.

10.a 35 year old virgin porn iraqi girl can definitely be considered fucking ugly as hell.

Mike:

I am knee deep in the adult film industry, and I’ve noticed that no one, and I repeat NO ONE, ever gets “black balled” in porn, regardless of what some people may think — although I have had “blue balls” for years now.

I write this email to you because you, along with a handful of others ( Luke Ford, Jimmy D.) are not scared to tell the truth about things in the porn biz. This is my list of things about the adult film industry that I have noticed:

1. If you can’t spell, write legibly and have no grasp of syntax or grammar, no one is surprised that you somehow would up sucking dicks for money.

2. “Girls who can’t get work for top name comapanies turn to gross out porn as a career booster”…onviously, since they can’t get any other work. Either that, or they find work in other professions, such as the food service industry. “Do you want fries with that?”

3. “Most porn studs…” (forgive me, HAHAHAHAHAHA) “…who don’t own their own company or videos tend to act like bitches.” Which is not to say that the ones who do wind up owning companies act any differently, of course.

4. “IR only means black male/whitefemale”. It can also mean “Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited Bermuda”, for those who’ve heard of the stock market.

5. “a pornstar and a hooker are not the same thing..(lol)” I agree that, to your average housewife, there is no difference between what an escort does, what a porn star does, what a house dancing stripper does, etc. But, then again, does anyone really care what the average housewife thinks?

6. “You have sit in a “modeling agency” for hours ,EAT LUNCH,sit for more hours so you can get booked for work.”

Only if you book through World Modelling, sweetie.

7. “ACTING IN BLACK FACE IS STILL ALIVE AND WELL IN 2004″

The only possible response to this can be… Whatthefuck???

8. “people who have a Southern Accent tend to not be taken seriously(i am from midwest..wink)”

Y’all come.

“9.the new turn on for porn girls is throwup and piss.” Now, I don’t know what turns on porn girls in their private lives — obviously, since I never get laid by any — but I do know that bodily fluids went out of vogue years ago, and have since been replaced by fecal material.

“10.a 35 year old virgin porn message board user can get a company director to do anything they want.”

Let me reiterate: Whatthefuck???

On that one she is referring to how a guy on adultdvdtalk can convince a director to shoot whatever he wants him to.

“keep up the goodwork here a picture of me, Tim Case, or as the “industry” folk refer to me: that angry drunk white dude

Just Damn Y’all…..

A Reflection:

I am in the process of archiving all my raw footage to DVD. Thats a LOT of raw footage. I didn’t really start in any particular order. Today, among others I archived the first scene I did with Melisaa Hill. this was 10 years ago. I was new to the biz and had shot less than half a dozen scenes. I met Melissa at the CES show and brought her to Atlanta to shoot. I didn’t really know it then but Melissa was special. To this day she is the only porn chick I have ever known who could really, and I mean really act. Melissa had to play a character, no matter what. It was how she transformed from the shy, quiet and reserved Texas girl that she really was.

As I am I archiving the footage I am doing other things, working on websites and stuff but I can’t help but watch some of it, I am drawn to it. I knew the cardinal rule in porn, you never fall in love with a co-star, but in all honestly I fell hard for Melissa. She never knew it and I never let it out but I did. Melissa and I stayed friends for a long time, I guess a very long time in porn standards. She went on to win lots of AVN Awards, including Best Actress, which was what she really always wanted.

In her best years she worked almost exclusively for Vivid, she should have been a Vivid Girl really but they never signed her.

We eventually fell out of touch, the world moved on. I have no idea what became of her, last I heard she was dating the webmaster of California Pimps sites, right after he bought lukeford.com, she called me, then I never heard from her again.

Wherever she may be I hope she is well.

Kid Rock Vs Tommy Lee the Battle For Jesse Jane:

I see it finally broke today, I have been hip to it for a while but out of respect to my friendship with Jesse I have kept quiet. I hear Tommy ain’t takin it too well either.

But lets face it…he is a geek all over again…Tommy has gone back to school…last week he was shown on TV playing drums in the marching band…THE MARCHING BAND! Come on guys we all know…marching band guys DO NOT get hot porn chicks. It’s no wonder she moved on to Kid Rock. I mean he could have at least started a garage band.

Now for todays Trivia question…Jesse Jane is NOT the first person to date Me and then Kid Rock….who was the first?

Winner gets a Motley Crue CD or something

A Different Steve Writes:

Hi Mike,

I view your website ocassionally for the gossip. I also think you have great insight and common sense about things, so I would like to ask you a question and get your opinion.

It might also be a good topic to talk about on your website, because it’s an issue that IS coming and will have to be dealt with by the industry, or the industry will end.

My question is this: Given the fact that there have been AIDS outbreaks in the industry already with more benign strains of HIV, what will the industry do when the AIDS situation is really serious. Right now, the HIV strain that is predominant in the United States is HIV-1B. As far as heterosexual transmission, this strain is pretty benign compared to the other strains of HIV.

The problem is, right now, in the larger cities due to immigration of infected individuals, military personnel and American’s who have never traveled abroad, but have become infected with new strains (this is a VERY small number right now) there are now strains in the United States that are far more deadly in respect to heterosexual transmission than HIV-1B. I do not have all of the facts in front of me right now, but to the best of my knowledge, we now have HIV-1A, HIV-1B (the current variant dominant in the United States), HIV-1C, HIV-1D(?), HIV-1E, HIV-1F(?), HIV-1G, HIV-1J, and several recombinant strains. With immigration from Africa, Asia and Latin America, plus military personnel stationed abroad, these variants will continue to increase in the United States. The big two to worry about are HIV-1C and HIV-1E, HIV-1C is what is ravaging Southern Africa and HIV-1E is what is ravaging Southeast Asia. These two variants are far more lethal as far as heterosexual transmission than HIV-1B and they are ALREADY here in the United States (some of the strains I’m not sure about, I put a question mark, but HIV-1C and HIV-1E ARE here). They are primarily heterosexual in transmission and female to male are far more likely with these variants also. First, these variants must reach a rate of critical mass in a subgroup of people in the nation and then they will begin to enter the mainstream. They will QUICKLY replace HIV-1B as the main strain and will be very infective heterosexually. When there was an AIDS scare among heterosexuals in the 80’s, it didn’t really happen because HIV-1B is pretty tough to transmit heterosexually, but I believe that the real epidemic IS on the horizon with these deadly and easily transmittable strains, it’s just a matter of time.

The second part of this is a question for you, because this is something that I’m not sure about. The “safe-sex” people aren’t telling the whole truth about HIV and condoms in my opinion, but I’m not sure. In semen, HIV is present as intracellular infection (which pro-condom people talk about), but it’s also present as free-floating virus (which they don’t talk about). It is actually the free-floating virus that causes the vast majority of infection (I believe it’s infectivity is several thousand times greater). The free-floating virus is also much smaller in particle size. Condoms by their nature are porous. The intra-cellular virus can not get through the condom, but free-floating particles are theoretically small enough to pass through. When you add in friction, natural variance in condoms, etc. it doesn’t sound like such a sure bet. A sample of semen unregisterable by current condom testing can have up to 80,000 copies of free-floating HIV particles. How effective do you think condoms will be with the highly-transmittable heterosexual variants of HIV? I’m not saying condoms don’t work, I’m just saying that the margin of error is very low because of the free-floating particles.

No offense, but pornstars are not the most intelligent or responsible people on Earth. Given what they do on-set (it keeps getting more suicidal) and what they do off-set (probably just as scary), how will the industry survive in the face of a serious HIV challenge and a likely low margin of error even with condoms?

Thanks for your time,

“STEVE”

He brings up valid questions, but lets face it, NOBODY in this industry plans ahead and nobody in this industry acknowledges a problem untill it is sitting on someones desk in the form of a fine, an indictment or a lawsuit.

But truth is these same problems face more than just the porn community but the community at large. The saving grace may be that we are very close to a cure, a vaccine or both. The different clades of the HIV virus (he refers to them as strains) are closely related in that replication is pretty much the same and existing protease inhibitor and other drug therapies will buy the victim time…potentially lots of it.

Finally intelligence and responsible behavior don’t necessarily go hand in hand, there are some very intelligent people I know who do very irresponsible things, and as for the industry’s survival…Darwin will take care of that, one way or the other.

Mark Kernes Writes:

What’s fascinated me is, I get Religious Right “news” screeds every day, and every one has at least some shit about gays — and recently, they’ve been touting some video they made about people who *were* gay but were “cured” (which as far as I can tell never happens; either the “cured” ones are bi and have just decided to avoid fucking the same sex for a while, or they’re gay and have just decided to stop having sex with their preferred sex. And then there’s their “ex-gay” poster boy, John Paulos, who was caught a couple of years ago trying to pick up guys in a gay bar in D.C.) (The RRs claimed he just went in there to use the bathroom. Yeah, right!) Anyway, the point is, if the RRs are so sure they can cure gays, why wouldn’t the Cheneys have signed up Mary for the treatment, or even talked about how she should sign herself up for the treatment?

As for your point about the RRs following the Bible regarding their treatment of homosexuals and homosexuality, that simply isn’t the case. I quote Leviticus 20:13:

“If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.”

Seems pretty clear to me: If a gay man has sex, you’ve got to kill him; God said so. But to be fair, verses 10 and 11 of the same chapter require Bible believers to kill adulterers (verse 11 is particularly cool since it specifies motherfuckers); verse 12 requires the same with regard to guys who fuck their daughters-in-law — and for all those farm boys who’ve fucked chickens and heifers, there’s verse 15.

See? Religion CAN be fun!

Kernes

BT Writes:

One hates to bring up politics on a porn site, but here’s the hypocrisy:

Mary Cheney is an adult. She ought to be able to take care of herself. After all, she is a paid employee of the Cheney campaign.

More importantly, she has been part of the public debate about gay rights, and particularly gay marriage for four years. Who put her there? Her father.

In the 2000 vice presidential debate with Sen. Lieberman, Cheney was asked what he thought about gay marriage. He said he had a gay daughter. He said he believed that gay people ought to be allowed to enter into any kind of relationship they choose, including civil unions (which the right opposes in, say, Vermont where they’re legal). As to gay marriage, it was a state issue not a federal issue. Again, 2004.

About a month ago, after the constitutional amendment failed in both the House and the Senate, Cheney and his wife, were giving a speech during a visit to one of the swing states. He was asked what he thought of gay marriage. He and his wife — both of them — said they had a gay daughter. They believed she ought to be able to enter into any relationship she chose. They were against they gay amendment, but the president sets the agenda. And, I believe, their daughter was on the stage with them.

At this year’s presidential debate, Cheney was asked about gay marraige. He said he had a gay daughter. She was in the audience. The camera showed her. He said he was against gay marriage.

In at least three very public events, two of them being nationally-televised vice presidential debates, Cheney has linked the fact that he has a gay daughter with his understanding and views on gay rights.

And yet Kerry is supposed to be a man who will sink to a new low by linking gay rights to someone else’s kid?

If the vice president hadn’t put it in play, it wouldn’t have been out there.

He used it for political advantage then, and he’s using it for political advantage now.

I feel better now.

BT

And Steve Writes:

Well said Mike. Bush didn’t have a good debate. He’s trailing in OH and PA. If Kerry wins those 2 states and Bush’s done. So they have to make Kerry look like a bigot. It is imperative that people not be lazy on Nov 2nd. Get out and vote. Heck, many states have early voting which starts today. There’s no excuse and anybody that bitches after Nov 2nd, I want to see their voting receipt. As an aside, it is very important that it doesn’t come down to Florida.

And Asmodeus Writes:

Hypocrisy is pandering to the gay community in the first place, making us their special little pets they can parade around to show everybody how tolerant they are, then use us to throw shit at Bush and Cheney.

And note the pronoun.

 

October 15th, 2004

Hypocrisy

Hypocrisy is the necessary burden of villainy. –Rambler.

Hypocrisy is the homage vice pays to virtue. –La Rochefoucauld

The dictionary Defines it as:
The act or practice of a hypocrite; a feigning to be what one is not, or to feel what one does not feel; a dissimulation, or a concealment of one’s real character, disposition, or motives; especially, the assuming of false appearance of virtue or religion; a simulation of goodness.

As I sit here listening to the radio talk show hosts and the rest of the political pundits wallowing in the aftermath of the third (and final, thank God) debate, I can’t help but to shake my head and wonder where the substance has gone in the American Polity.

The big issue is John kerry bringing up the fact that Dick Cheney’s daughter is gay. The right wing supporters say it was a low blow.

Dick Cheney said
“You saw a man who will do and say anything to get elected, and I am not just speaking as a father here, although I am a pretty angry father.”

Lynne Cheney said:
“Now, you know, I did have a chance to assess John Kerry once more and now the only thing I could conclude: This is not a good man. Of course, I am speaking as a mom, and a pretty indignant mom. This is not a good man. What a cheap and tawdry political trick.”

Elizabeth Edward’s said:

” the Cheney’s were ashamed of their lesbian daughter. “

And Kerry Himself reclarified stating:

“I love my daughters. They love their daughter. I was trying to say something positive about the way strong families deal with this issue.”

Now I know why Kerry did it and so do you, he mentioned the fact that Dick and Lynne Cheney had a lesbian daughter in an attempt to drive a wedge between Bush and his hard-core Christian conservative supporters.

But it really does bring up a very valid issue. The Republicans are dead set against homosexuality, so much so they made a lot of noise about a constitutional amendment outlawing same sex marriages. It will never happen, but if they had their way it would. Hell John Ashcroft, given his way would have the Cheney’s daughter incarcerated for it. Now ask yourself why it is that they even care? Why is this even an issue? The reason is simple, the religious right which Cheney, Bush and Ashcroft are so beholden to thinks its a SIN. God forbid (pardon the pun) that anyone actually be allowed to make up his or her own mind about this. For them the bible says it so they believe it. But this country is not a theocracy, our laws are not based on biblical law but on the ideology that you have certain “inalienable rights” and that they may not be transgressed. Sure there are laws against murder and the bible clearly states “Thou shalt not kill”, unless of course its in the name of Jesus or God or apparently oil, but I digress. You have a right to your life, that is one of those “inalienable rights” so that law isn’t biblically based.

The point that should be apparent here is the hypocrisy of the Republicans in this issue. They want to ban homosexuality but bringing up the fact that the Vice President’s own daughter is homosexual is a low blow? Sure it may lack a certain amount of tact but I think it drives home a point, and a damn good one at that.

Interesting that everyone made a lot of noise about this but apparently Vice President Cheney’s Daughter, who deserves to be heard more than anyone else, hasn’t said anything…Maybe it is she who is ashamed.

Ashamed of her parents.

That’s the way I see it

After The Debate Last Night I asked Myself a Few Simple Questions:

Am I better off as a result of Bush Being in Office?

The answer is no.

I asked myself the question that Bush wants us all to ask ourselves…Am I safer as a result of Bush being in office?

While I wouldn’t have wanted to have Gore in office on 9/11 I had to honestly answer no, I am not safer, and I have lost a lot of liberty to boot. That is unacceptable to me, be sure you get out and vote and let’s show this guy the door.

Mary Carey Divorces No Neck:

She personally emailed me to let me know that she has filed and its going to happen. Suits me he was a prick to me last year at Expo. Hell he was a prtick to everyone. I know I speak for most in the biz when I say good riddance. You go Mary!

Hi Mike,

I was told by the management at Club Risque that they will never book Devon again. They agreed she was hot and they had tons of calls and were expecting a very large turnout.

Is Devon trying to compete with Leeanna Heart for most no-shows? Who gets the award for biggest flake anyway?

Jeff

I dunno Leanna but I know more than one club chain that refuse to book Devon for that very reason.
