Any regular reader of Dan's who paid attention could have guessed how he would respond. The chance of his saying something regrettable was nil. Unless he was drunk advising, maybe.

I read this first at SL (it posts while I'm still awake) and half the comments have a depressing trend toward "I'm going to ignore everything Dan wrote, because if people are sex positive why wouldn't they be delighted to provide porn videos and underwear to random strangers? If the strangers ask nicely."

As with everything else in a relationship, it's highly individual.

Some grow up together, and some grow apart.

On woman-decade-older pairs, second-hand:

I'll defend WaPo. They've been a refreshing beacon of "So when a candidate gives a speech, our job is to tell you what things they say are true and which are ridiculous. With links."

That the universal response to his comment was "Wait, I want a taco truck on my corner" gives me some hope for the country."

Every once in a while my husband will pass through as dramatic music pours from my laptop. He'll peer over my shoulder, and people are pouring mirror glaze.

Or Minnesota.

I think 5 the strongest factor at this point. The straight-up "He says nice things about me, and that's all I look for in foreign policy decisions: does the leader of this country call me a genius of astonishing talent?" (Though I'm with Romo that all five are true.)

Never underestimate spite as a voter turnout mechanism.

Bill O'Reilly analyzes the death of culture via Gangnam Style, failing to understand that he can't understand the lyrics because they are in Korean.

It's amusing to watch Nate go off a minor edge whenever reminded of the Times. Yard signs!

Actually Roger Stone has linked her to 40 murders. He is vague on the reasons he can't bring all this evidence to the police BUT is confident that talking about it won't get him murdered, too. Which definitely logically follows.

Excellent point made at The Fix yesterday: You know the glowy box on which you are reading this? You can use it to find out the candidates' positions on the issues! All the detail that is out there, every policy speech. And yet people complain about how they don't care about the insults, they want the candidates to…

Clinton has allergies. I mean, I knew this—not that it's an interesting thing, but it was a thing last summer when she gave speeches. Lots of people have summer allergies—the idea that we should all be ushered into terminal care when we cough is just wacked.

I've noted this before, but Trump wants to change the libel laws so people will not be allowed to criticize him. (Unfairly. He'd be okay with criticism he thought fair.) It is a big domestic policy issue for him.

The one piece I read trying to put forward an "I talked to my Algerian lesbian girlfriend who as a girl was gradually ushered off the beach as religious laws tightened and now I sort of get the burkini ban" (and credit to writer and publisher for trying) cited how her girlfriend was uncomfortable being on a beach with…

He's been running for president for over a year now, and a majority of his answers on policy amount to "I'll decide it later".

This week he's covering the entire map on immigration. Again. His signature issue for more than a year, and he STILL doesn't know what his position is.
