Baseball as a political predictor?  
Last Tuesday’s Major League Baseball All-star game ended the 13-year
losing streak for the National League team—they pulled out a 3-1 victory
over the American League. 
According to Politico writer David Strauss, the game is a
consistent predictor for the midterm election results: “According to an
analysis by University of Minnesota professor Eric J. Ostermeier, who
writes the Smart Politics blog, a National League victory in the
Mid-Season Classic has preceded every election with double-digit GOP
House gains since 1950.”  A similar pattern can be seen in Senate
numbers as well.

It
is a curious correlation, but we’ll have to wait for the poll results
to confirm if this year’s National League win predicted a GOP power
surge.

News on LiLo and Lesbian gangs.   According to Fox News , Lindsay Lohan will receive a
not-so-welcome gift from her future cell block peers.

She told a
reporter, “Everyone will want a piece of her. It will make them famous
if they hurt Lindsay Lohan.  Or if you get her to cry, the whole ward
will laugh and people will love it—even the guards.”
Haley also
warned of “lesbian gangs” that wear their shirts inside out as a sign of
their same-sex availability, saying, “if Lindsay doesn’t want someone
to grab her ass she’d better keep her shirt on straight.”

Marital
Woes. Last week, 365gay reported that Popular costar Tammy
Lynn Michaels filed for the dissolution of her marriage with singer
Melissa Etheridge. This week, an LA Superior Court judge has denied
Michael’s request for full physical custody of the couples two children
and $25,000 in spousal support.
According to TMZ , “Tammy’s lawyer wanted the judge to order
Melissa to immediately pay 25k to his client, whom he claims is
destitute. The lawyer wanted another 25k from Melissa for legal fees,
but Melissa’s attorney, Neal Hersh, convinced the judge Melissa was
paying for everything — housing, food, schools, the works — so Tammy’s
claim that she can’t afford to live is bogus.”
The couple is
expected to return to court in September.

XY Magaizine goes bankrupt. “XY Magazine”
filed for bankruptcy earlier this year. Now, the gay teen mag is looking
to sell its database of one million users to creditors.
The
Federal Trade Commision is concerned that the sale of the database
“could violate federal law,” BBC reports. Other opponents argue that the sale of
the database would violate the privacy of thousands of young gay men.
“The
selling off of private information, gathered under the supposition of
privacy, is bad enough,” wrote Curt Hopkins, a in an article for
technology blog ReadWriteWeb . “And positively untenable when the
information is connected to kids who are dealing with a dawning sexual
reality that in some instances is even more fraught than what straight
kids go through.”
