Okay, maybe. We’ll see.
I’ve been mulling over a lengthy response to the “Why didn’t Oprah take Bush’s ass to the woodshed instead?” argument I’ve seen several people make, including Lillet and, indirectly, A-Meg–both of whom I respect tremendously, even though I disagree wildly on this point.

Really. I do. Or at least, I have to stop reading Broadsheet every morning.
Today’s Article Up My Ass is here. Lynn Harris’s take on it piqued my interest and irritation, but it was the full article that really made me mental.

Okay, I’m really tempted to restrict my comments on James Frey to this link, ’cause it’s brill (and it’s from 2003), but that would mean shutting up. Still, I’m pretty sure I can’t ever top “Suck my cock tattoo that says suck my cock, James Frey, you whore.” I’m totally gonna tattoo my labia with [...]

The comments thread on this post is both awful and fascinating. (Note: Even if it looks like there are zero comments, there are a bunch.)
