The problem with that strategy is that many people are exhibitionists, especially, in my experience, men and their erect penises (penii?) My boyfriend is absolutely an exhibitionist (and I am absolutely not, which can occasionally be a source of tension), so he wouldn't care if the internet saw his dong. In fact, he'd…

My boyfriend desperately wanted nekkid pics, but I refuse to create a digital image of my naked body in anyway, since that stuff is far too easily shared and saved, so we compromised and used a disposable film camera. In two years, he still hasn't summoned up the wherewithal to get the pictures developed, so we both…

Ooooh, *some*body gets cranky when popular golf stereotypes are invoked! Next time we talk about the minivan/soccer mom connection, I hope you are there to point out that not *every* mom is a soccer mom and not *every* minivan is owned by a mom. Keep fighting the good fight against ignorance!

The Supreme Court just decided that all Americans are just "pre-criminals" and thus subject to be strip-searched on the whims of their jurisdictional police's errant computerized records, so why shouldn't all American women be declared to be in a constant state of "pre-fucked"? Altho, with all this "It Ain't YOUR…

This guy doesn't seem to realize that Planned Parenthood could give less than two shits about a "win" for Mr. Max's PR or his tax burden. That he's trumpeting this all around the internet is plenty of proof that his goals were personal gain, not philanthropic. He could have achieved the exact same tax write-off with…

I don't think Michelle's choices are good or healthy, but they are hers to make. What I can't stand is the choices she's making on behalf of her children that will define their entire lives. No college, for instance. All female children as substitute-mothers and caretakers while Michelle goes on the…

Even if you could fit everyone on earth into their own little square-yard box, Michelle is deliberately misunderstanding the question, to wit: How many square yards of earth, plus water, plus energy, plus raw materials, does it take to *support* that many people? Pro-tip, Mrs. Duggar: It is not within the city limits…

Yup. This, tragically, isn't really news. In fact, the boom (and subsequent bust when abuses were uncovered) in international adoption corresponds roughly with the decline in stealing/shaming infants away from their unwed mothers and the rise in legal abortion services in the US. Now that most overseas adoptions are…

I don't get it... is it somehow *hard* to fuck not-married men in New York? Cause where I'm at, it is falling-of-a-chair easy. Why bother with all the nonsense, idiocy, selfishness and self-centeredness of the married-guy when you could be fucking a (slightly) less neurotic not-married guy, if fucking is your goal?…

While I sincerely hope that Zimmerman is arrested, tried, and rightfully convicted, my first thought upon seeing this story was, "Well, even if that never happens, at the very least the internet will have its pound of flesh." I usually cringe when the internet rakes every detail of someone's life over the coals, in…

I've more often seen the Belle/Cinderella/Aurora trio. I think it has to do with the pleasing blend of pastel yellow, blue, and pink. And those three are definitely the most proto-typically "princessy" princesses: long flowing locks, tiaras, and ballgowns. Frankly, the Disney marketing of their princesses is about as…

"the Perfect is the Enemy of the Good" seems to apply in abundance here. Some people mistreat animals! Some dogs live boring, unsatisfying lives! Better they don't live at all!!!

Okay, common misconception, but seriously: chimps and macaques aren't "behind" humans in evolution. Our common ancestors diverged that long ago. Macaques, rhesus monkeys and chimps continued to evolve and mutate at the same rate that humans did. Evolutionary descent isn't a pyramid with "more evolved" creatures at the…

You guys, don't forget about Christian Science! Or the Black Hebrew Israelites!

Oh, don't even worry yourselves about treatable, curable Hep-C. What we should really be freaking out about is *Totally Drug Resistant Tuberculosis*. Yes, this is a thing. And it is coming from India to kill you: [www.wired.com]

Nope! Amendment says "born in" and as the anti-choicers are fond of reminding us, these fetus-people are "unborn".

There is absolutely nothing you can do to human children to "turn them into" sex addicts. There is a booming industry of religious repression trying to make them *not* sex addicts.

I refuse every time. I am neither confident enough in the technology's totally-doesn't-give-you-cancer! propaganda nor stupid enough to believe that any digital picture of anything, anywhere, ever can be truly, completely deleted. And every time I refuse, I'm told both that the machines are "completely safe" and that…

Books-a-Million? Pfft! Anyone who's anyone in DC knows that people with class have their Dupont Circle book signings at Kramerbooks.

In terms of protocol, it is always appropriate to refer to someone as the highest-ranking office they've ever held, whether current or not. This is why Newt Gingrich is still "Mr. Speaker." And Brinker was the State Dept. Chief of Protocol during the Bush administration. (Why do we even *have* one of those? They can't…
