• Stealing Time: Gay marriage, Gloria, cadaver crash dummies

  By JUSTIN KENDALL Thoughts from Kansas' Joshua Rosenau challenges the notion that only people who can have children should be allowed to marry. If poppin' out babies were a pre-req, then Rosenau's widowed, 70-something grandmother wouldn't have been allowed to remarry. "Whenever I hear someone say that marriage is about procreation, I think of my grandmother," Rosenau writes. "Not just because she is a counterexample, but because her example of calm, quiet, and loving outreach to others is a g

• Chinese Democracy Is Really Here

  By ROBERT BISHOP   The plan was to go to Best Buy early to get a good spot in line for Guns N' Roses' Chinese Democracy. I assumed at least a few people would be as geeked for this as I was, but hardly anyone was there. C'mon, people! Guns N' Roses! Seventeen years since Use Your Illusion!   Then I saw a long-haired guy in a do-rag and a GNR T-shirt carrying a copy of the album back to his car -- a car with a baby shade mounted on one back window -- and I knew I wasn't al

• Stealing Time: Sexy Keith King protects sexy models from dune buggy selling photographer

  I'm moving S-L-O-W this morning. Thanks to bottle of wine, Shaun of the Dead and about three-and-a-half hours of sleep! That's my excuse. What's yours, Derek Donovan? The Star ombudsman misspelled Abu Ghraib -- he spelled it Abu Ghraid -- in this post about, uh, misspelling names. I've made the correction for Donovan following his handy dandy guide to correction writing: "An entry on Derek Donovan's blog on Nov. 26 misspelled Abu Ghraib." Feel free to use that, Derek. Not sure where my favorite

  Catching up on fancy East Coast reading: The November 23 issue of the New York Times Magazine, "The Screens Issue," was really cool. It was a theme issue dedicated to how people watch stuff: "On our HDTVs, Smart Phones, Laptops, Imax Screens, Computer Monitors, Nanos, Kindles, Bus Shelters, PDAs and Airplane Seat Backs." Extra cool: "Moments that Mattered," in which a dozen notable creative types wrote short essays on something they'd seen on a screen this year that moved them. It was an intrigu

• Was this an appropritate use of force?

  KSHB captured some disturbing video following a high-speed chase yesterday. The footage, shot from KSHB's Skytracker helicopter, shows a man surrendering, lying face down on the ground with his hands behind his head. An officer seems to have him subdued when another runs up and repeatedly punches the guy in the head. Other officers swarm the guy. An officer by the guy's legs elbows and punches him.

• New bar and aspiring music venue Coda finds footing in former Jilly's

  As a Westside dweller and Crossroads worker, I've been curious as to the progress of Coda, which announced itself with a "coming soon" sign in the window of the vacated Jilly's sometime last year. Yesterday while driving by, I noticed the "coming soon" had been updated to "now open," so I gathered up the Buckle Bunny for a drop-by. Here's one view of the inside. Jilly's had its own dingy appeal, but this place is vastly cleaner and more open. Coda's owners, married couple Dan and Annie Tutko

  PBS' NOVA program recently featured a segment on the much over-used (and evidently dead, according to Jay-Z) bit of computer software known as Auto-Tune. Thanks to the miracle of YouTube, you can find out all the science behind the whys and wherefores of how this miracle bit of coding has allowed the likes of Kanye and T-Pain to reach new heights of music sales. NPR has done two stories on the software, as well--one this past November, and another in 2004. Public broadcasting is bigger than hip
