"Anti-feminist" asserts rape acceptable equalizer: "I'm also wondering now if the fact that we've got our oh-so-sensitive testicles dangling gently in a place just ripe for a savage kick isn't an example of cosmic justice, after all."

Dana Milbank - Republicans' new Web site not exactly what they hoped it would be
Quote of the day: "'A 'teacher' told my child in class that dolphins were mammals and not fish!' a third complains. 'And the same thing about whales! We need TRADITIONAL VALUES in all areas of education. If it swims in the water, it is a FISH. Period! End of Story.'"

If today were a symphony
If today were a symphony:
The first movement would be a lilting, bucolic scherzo of songbirds starting at 5AM;
the 2nd movement would be a long discordant adagio starting @ 7AM, featuring heavy machinery w/ jackhammer riffs;
& the final movement, starting sometime after dinner, would be an odd trio of indistinct dialogue from my roommate's TV, the murmur of airplanes flying in & out of airport a half-hour away, & the plaintive caterwauling of a feline companion whose appetite consistently exceeds her alloted portion.

Jian Ghomeshi interviews Al Green (archive)
qpodcast_20080901_7217.mp3 (audio/mpeg Object)
I listened to this interview yesterday, and it really intrigued me. I especially like the portion that begins around the 28-minute mark, where he talks about his job being to "tell all the lonely people that there's LOVE in the world." Beautiful, really - how many people feel that they've been given this kind of mission in life? What would our world be like if more of us truly believed and trusted in this kind of a message?
Why ‘hooking up’ has become so prevalent on campus - thestar.com
Why ‘hooking up’ has become so prevalent on campus - thestar.com: "The new study, published in March, also helps explain why hooking up has become so prevalent. Trying to actually date seems too risky — put yourself out there, and you might get hurt.
'Men talk most about rejection,' Kahn says. 'When you're hooking up you're not going to get rejected, 'cause you're probably wasted anyway.' (Previous studies have shown that most hookups are preceded by alcohol consumption.)
Both genders said the potential for a broken heart is one of the biggest drawbacks to traditional dating."

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: Sex, Lies and Oil Spills
The Bush/Cheney legacy lives on.
This makes me want to swear, but there is no profanity that will scale to the level of this destruction and waste.
Tactical error
This conversation just happened:
Telehassler [with thick accent]: Hello, may I please speak with [my full name].
Me: Yes, speaking.
Telehassler: blah blah blah Mr. [last name] blah blah blah I should let you know, Mr. [last name], that this call is being recorded for quality control purposes.
Me [politely]: Oh, will they tell you that because I am female, you shouldn't refer to me as Mister?
