Iraq's porn dealers risk wrath of religious right

Islamic militants threatened to kill him for it, but Abu Mustafa says it was the only way he knew to make a living in the chaos that is Baghdad today.

The pornographic video salesman is among many traders caught between two faces of the new Iraq, one liberated from the state censorship of Saddam Hussein, the other gripped by religious zeal.

"I am scared but what else can I do? I tried lots of other jobs. I worked in a factory, but you just can't make any money in Iraq. It's the only way to support my son," he said on Wednesday.

"There is no way I am going to join the police or army because the insurgents are killing many of them every day."

Relentless guerrilla violence has killed thousands of Iraqis, ravaged the economy and pushed up unemployment, forcing people like Abu Mustafa to scramble for a job.

But like the tens of thousands signing up for the new, U.S. -trained police and army, selling pornography has become an especially high-risk profession in Iraq, where a religious Shi'ite-led government swept to power in January, raising fears in some quarters of an Islamic state modeled after Iran.

Rolling Stones: George W full of shit!

On their new album A Bigger Bang, the Rolling Stones are diving into the kind of political waters they usually avoid. They've recorded a song called "Sweet Neo Con" that seemingly attacks the current leadership in Washington, DC, with lines like, "You call yourself a Christian, I call you a hypocrite/You call yourself a patriot, well I think you're full of shit."

Lead singer Mick Jagger intended the song to be taken exactly the way it sounds. He told Newsweek, "It is direct. (Singer-guitarist) Keith (Richards) said, 'It's not really metaphorical.' I think he's a bit worried because he lives in the US. But I don't."

Also in the article, Richards and Jagger insist that they're not just going through the motions with their new album and world tour. Richards said, "I could see why some people may think we're phoning it in after all this time. But playing the music we do, and playing it with these guys, 'Jumpin' Jack Flash' can be a new song to me every night. I mean, we don't need to do it to feed our families. We don't need to do it to prove anything. And nobody wants to be the first one to get off a moving bus. You end up in the dust." He added, "It's that fascination with music that is still the core of the band. (Drummer) Charlie (Watts) sits around and talks about this fantastic (John) Coltrane solo. Thank God, it's the one thing that hasn't left us. You can get disillusioned with the state of the world, but the music's still OK."

Jagger said, "Sometimes you might feel, 'Here we go again.' Feel a little cynical about it. But you get out there and it takes over."

The Stones hit the road for their A Bigger Bang world tour on August 21st in Boston. The A Bigger Bang album comes out September 6th.

BUSH'S SHOCKING SECRET TATTOO
'He got it in the pot-smoking '60s'

By CAL RANIER

PRESIDENT George Bush is hiding a shameful secret that he believes would have lost him the election if his family-values followers found out about it.

The Prez is hiding a tattoo on his upper right buttock that praises pot smoking, reveals a source who was pals with young George in the wild hippie days of the 1960s and early 1970s.

"It's a small tattoo of a marijuana leaf with the words, 'I love Mary Jane,' " reveals the source. 'Mary Jane' was a popular slang term for pot in the '60s."
