Judge Alex Kozinski, from the Ninth Circuit, is presiding over an obscenity trial, and it is reveled that he had a person website with pictures of naked women painted like cows, a man with a sexually excited farm animal, masturbation, and some transsexuals.

"Is it prurient? I don't know what to tell you," he said. "I think it's odd and interesting. It's part of life."

He defended an image of two women exposing their crotches in a café before a sign reading "Bush for President", saying, "That is a funny joke."

"There is a ton of stuff on there," Kozinski told the New York Times. "It's not a porn site. There's some funny stuff on there."

"I guess I should be more careful about access and all," he said. "I didn't put anything on there I think would be embarrassing."
