Fear And Loathing In The Ether...

Perhaps he sought me out, but mostly, it is accident.

We talk of love and religion, of ideas and books and songs, of the human condition. We talk of heaven and hell, of g-d and man and of the filthy sacred horror in between. The sublime and the mundane. We type our words and they appear an ocean away.

We have never met. My skin has never touched his, nor his mine.

Only our words. Our words are everything.

And then, silently, he disappears. Into a cloud of terror and culpability. For weeks, perhaps, or months, there is silence. I am the slut, the whore, the mirage, the wet rapacious cunt, the nothing, lilith with a keyboard and I must be erased.

And then, one day, a flashing tab on the computer screen. And the cycle begins again.

Perhaps this time he has turned away for good. And perhaps I should shrug, or even laugh a little, condescendingly. I can't keep track of each fallen robin...

And yet I know a part of me will go on waiting. Waiting for more words on a screen one drizzly afternoon, out of the blue. Hoping that I'm not the only one who's lost in the desert. Hoping that he too knows that being loved is hollow without being understood.

Cool Thing I Saw And Decided To Plagiarise

Sexual Assault Prevention Tips Guaranteed to Work!


1. Don’t put drugs in people’s drinks in order to control their behavior.

2. When you see someone walking by themselves, leave them alone!

3. If you pull over to help someone with car problems, remember not to assault them!

4. NEVER open an unlocked door or window uninvited.

5. If you are in an elevator and someone else gets in, DON’T ASSAULT THEM!

6. Remember, people go to laundry to do their laundry, do not attempt to molest someone who is alone in a laundry room.

7. USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM! If you are not able to stop yourself from assaulting people, ask a friend to stay with you while you are in public.

8. Always be honest with people! Don’t pretend to be a caring friend in order to gain the trust of someone you want to assault. Consider telling them you plan to assault them. If you don’t communicate your intentions, the other person may take that as a sign that you do not plan to rape them.

9. Don’t forget: you can’t have sex with someone unless they are awake!

10. Carry a whistle! If you are worried you might assault someone “on accident” you can hand it to the person you are with, so they can blow it if you do.

Science Is Neutral, But People Aren't

So, apparently we will soon have an at-home test that tells you the gender of your unborn bub.

We knew it had to happen sometime, right?

Please, people, just try to remember that the more you abort your unborn daughters, the more likely it is that your heterosexual sons will end up driven to fucking goats. Thank you.

This week we love.........

GOP Can't Stop Digging

G Gordon Liddy on Supreme Court Justice nominee, Sonia Sotomayor:

"Let’s hope that the key conferences aren’t when she’s menstruating or something, or just before she’s going to menstruate. That would really be bad. Lord knows what we would get then."

Shouldn't this asshat still be in jail or something?
