Letters From Johns

Susannah Breslin's Letters From Johns is fascinating - a series of letters written by the patrons of prostitutes.

Some of them are interesting. Some of them reveal *far* more about the misogynist Nice Guy(tm) writing it than he probably wants you to know. And some are just kind of blah - but it's fascinating to watch, anyway.

It's text-only, so it's work-safe if that's work-safe for you.

Putting the cute back into "electrocute"!

Shorter Ron Paul campaign: He's incompetent, not racist!

The New Republic, of all places, puts it best:

In other words, Paul's campaign wants to depict its candidate as a naïve, absentee overseer, with minimal knowledge of what his underlings were doing on his behalf. This portrayal might be more believable if extremist views had cropped up in the newsletters only sporadically--or if the newsletters had just been published for a short time. But it is difficult to imagine how Paul could allow material consistently saturated in racism, homophobia, anti-Semitism, and conspiracy-mongering to be printed under his name for so long if he did not share these views. In that respect, whether or not Paul personally wrote the most offensive passages is almost beside the point. If he disagreed with what was being written under his name, you would think that at some point--over the course of decades--he would have done something about it.

I have only one thing to say about American election dumbness.

I don't *work* with The Topper. It's worse that way.
