Kentucky state pol resigns in wake of sex scandal
(CNN)On Sunday, Kentucky's House Speaker Jeff Hoover (R) resigned his leadership post under pressure -- following revelations that he and several other legislators had settled a sexual harassment complaint with a woman.

Florida state politician caught in sex accusations
TALLAHASSEE — Six women who work in Florida’s Capitol say the state Senate’s powerful budget chairman, Republican gubernatorial candidate Jack Latvala, has inappropriately touched them without their consent or uttered demeaning remarks about their bodies.

The women, who include Senate staff and lobbyists affiliated with both major parties, told POLITICO Florida they did not want to be identified for fear of losing their jobs, getting a bad reputation in the male-dominated Capitol or running afoul of an influential politician who can kill their clients’ issues. The incidents, they said, occurred over a period of several years, happening in the privacy of Latvala’s Senate office or in public places like the Capitol rotunda, a bar or an elevator.

Weinstein tried to get ahead of coming avalanche of accusations
In the fall of 2016, Harvey Weinstein set out to suppress allegations that he had sexually harassed or assaulted numerous women. He began to hire private security agencies to collect information on the women and the journalists trying to expose the allegations. According to dozens of pages of documents, and seven people directly involved in the effort, the firms that Weinstein hired included Kroll, which is one of the world’s largest corporate-intelligence companies, and Black Cube, an enterprise run largely by former officers of Mossad and other Israeli intelligence agencies. Black Cube, which has branches in Tel Aviv, London, and Paris, offers its clients the skills of operatives “highly experienced and trained in Israel’s elite military and governmental intelligence units,” according to its literature.

Spacey blames abusive childhood for sex problems
Today Spacey's reputation lies in tatters. He has announced he will seek psychological help to tackle his demons, but his career is effectively finished.

His award-winning Netflix series House Of Cards has been abruptly terminated amid reports that eight members of the show's crew have accused him of sexual misconduct.

And the man who single-handedly saved London's Old Vic theatre during his 11 years as the famous playhouse's artistic director has been dumped by his agent.

Fotos emerged detailing one of Spacey's gay encounters
As Oscar-winner Kevin Spacey is facing growing allegations of sexually assaulting teenage boys, DailyMailTV has uncovered nearly two-decades-old pictures of the House of Cards star cuddling and massaging a young man in a public park

They were taken the day before Spacey won his Best Actor award for the 1999 movie American Beauty and years before he came out as gay on October 29.

The intimate pictures show Spacey, then 41, taking the unidentified 21-year-old male model into the hills above Topanga, California, close to where the star grew up.

#5 Harv's been into the Vet meds:

Our new Angus Bull

We recently spent $2500 on a young Black Angus bull. We put him out with the herd but he just ate grass and wouldn't even look at a cow. I was beginning to suspect he was gay, if that's possible for a bull.

Anyhow, I had the Vet come have a look at him. He said the bull was very healthy, but possibly a little young, so he gave me some pills to feed him once a day.

Holy crap! The bull started to service the cows within two days. All of my cows! Hell, he even broke through the fence and bred all my neighbor's cows! He's on his way to servicing every cow in the county. It's incredible - He's been breeding just about everything in sight. He's like a machine!

I don't know what in hell was in the pills the Vet gave him but they kind of taste like peppermint.
