greatest hits of the patriarchy, 2

“What, did you think this was a date?  Alright, look, sweetheart.  You look beautiful.  Afterwards I’ll take you out, throw a burger down your throat, we’ll have a great time.”—Ford Fairlane (c. 1990)

Nevermind, Cruel Godbags [Dan Collins]

Iowahawk’s already done it, and better than you would have, anyway. Good thought, though. Also, a disgusting public display of affection at Wuzzadem’s.  Don’t look.

HuffPo: Donohue’s Remarks Threaten Bloggers Lives [Dan Collins]

Although I am not personally a practitioner of the form of civility it would take to stop this, I do think that some of the reactions to Marcotte and McEwan are over the edge, judging by the emails that they post, and that it is disgusting that anyone would threaten them.  But today in the Huff, Lane Hudson urges readers to contact Donohue to retract what he’s said, as it

They have the retractables in both blue and black?  Score!

Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance, abridged 28

To apply the brakes convincingly, one must, in one’s own mind, be firmly committed to the idea of stopping.  Otherwise, all one is doing is squeezing levers while pretending to respect the immutable laws of physics—a state of being that oftentimes will manifest itself in loud and twisted wreckage.

A Modest Request [Dan Collins]

Hey!  Mind if I ride your Pwn3y?

In an admission of the international community’s failure to hold back Iran’s nuclear ambitions, the document –- compiled by the staff of Javier Solana, EU foreign policy chief –- says the atomic programme has been
