It's the new "I'm an ARTISTE! therefore anything I do can't be wrong or bad, it's just ART, which you obviously can't understand, not being a creative genius like myself".

It definitely speaks to a seeming undercurrent of desire for power in his creative outlets [for example, a condom on a gun pic he did here: [tinyurl.com]]

Read the link to the comments on the Oakland Post website. You don't have to take any of the other comments at face value (hearsay and anonymous web posting and all), but read Corlett's own letters. He refers to a meeting with the professor and her colleagues as a "hen party". Twice. He also is claiming martyrdom…

"Deranged Penis Wrangler" would make an awesome profession to put on your business card...

"OMG! Does this helmet make my butt look big?"

...and cue the horrified! outrage!, massive protests!, and mobilized resistance! against the disgusting! treatment . . . of lobsters. Thanks for keeping it in perspective, PETA...

thank u... "I love you" *whispered in your ear* :)

I thought it ironic the particular item of dirt happened showing at the time I posted was the particular dirtbag that is Chris Brown, therefore my delight in the pun :)

...and then the slightly smiling teenage girl whispered just 5 strange words into the ear of her non-indigenous teammate and a light came into the second girl's eyes, even though at first she did not understand. Later that day the second girl taught a friend of hers these new words she had learned, who had never heard…

Yes, yes, I know, thank you both for the "education"...

OOOPS! Did Jezebel post this in the wrong section? I see there's a story on Chris Brown over at the "Dirt Bag" section, and he didn't even kill his girlfriend...

Ah, I'm too quick on the trigger, sorry about the premature evisceration! You are very welcome to post your own version, as I'm sure I could have played a few lines a bit more cleverly... :)

Politicians need to make the money that they need to make. There needs to be a balance there. If you double what you're paying politics, you know what's going to happen? I've heard the comment many times, ‘Well, the quality of politics is going to go up.' That's never proven to happen, guys. It's a Biblical principle.…

I think my point was supposed to be that culture can mediate religious expression...

In places like Saudi Arabia (where I've lived), religion and culture are the same thing and it amounts to state-sanctioned and religion-approved misogyny. Remember, this is an "ally" and a powerful country, and is the home of Islam's most holiest sites (and the home nation of the majority of the 9/11 hijackers).

I've had to "train" my 68-year-old mother to close the bathroom to pee when I am at her house. She doesn't see the big deal with it, and will "forget" if I stop mentioning it, or straight out "test" me like the one time where she "didn't think I'd notice it"...

Abortion is a very personal matter, hence everyone's personal stories. Here is mine.

Yes, thank gawd the doctor was a Lebanese Christian! That he perhaps honed his skills as a medic back in the early 1980's at Sabra/Shatila in Beirut by ignoring the cries of the dying Palestinian refugees massacred by Christian Phalangists bent on revenge for the assassination of Bashir, is wholly irrelevant! Thank…

Well, according to Norman, "a boy's best friend is his mother", and Mother was really good at protecting her boy from that trollop Marion...
