Feministe’s entry about pornography got me thinking about human sexuality, which is a virgin (pun intended) frontier, untouched by the internet. I have three primary concerns: one is the seeming absurdity of sexuality, two is the change of tenor in pornography, and three is the presence of sexuality in the public discourse.

Despite initially labeling liberals “sore losers” for our weeping, gnashing of teeth, and self-flagellation on November 3rd, it didn’t take long for some ignoramus dye himself a “sore winner.” Not even a smart one, at that. I realize that things like these don’t speak for everyone, but I know people like Limbaugh would [...]
One of the funniest webcomics I have ever read. Click the image for the full version.
Microsoft Commercial, 1985 (Work Safe)
If you aren’t familiar with Steve Ballmer, the above video won’t be as funny. As a bit of explanation, Steve Ballmer is now the stony-faced, belligerent CEO of Microsoft, the technological powerhouse that likes to throw elbows whenever it can.

a breeze lifted the skirt of summer—
some dashing floral house-wife pattern, speckled
with amaranths and lilies.

Furthermore, this is fun reading: 50 Most Loathsome People in America, 2004. Some examples:
50. Ann Coulter
Crimes: Coulter plummets down the list as she slips into irrelevance. As her columns degenerate further into absurd, incoherent attacks against her own personal paranoid fantasy of fanged, drooling, Saddam-loving liberals who hate America and childish France-bashing, we find [...]
And so begins the long, grinding road to Summer, that magical point of spacetime where all our troubles will vanish except for sunburn and inadequate air conditioning in my car. Much of my preparations for the end of this damnable school year are foiled by the constrictions of schedule or my own shortcomings. [...]
Maybe because the software is unfinished, maybe because I haven’t configured it right, or maybe just because I was a horrible person in a former life, the spam-blocking software I installed eats ALL comments, no matter if they’re truly spam or actual feedback. For the time being, at least until I figure out how [...]
Allison turned seventeen yesterday. To celebrate the occasion, we went to see The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. In accordance with state and federal law, the theatre employees didn’t give her the satisfaction of a carding. I told her she should have whipped out her ID anyway.
The movie was decent. [...]
