C'mon
[Read the article: The best-laid plans]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]She's doing it because she's romanticized one-night stands as an integral part of the hip, post-modern women's experience, much the way girls in the past would romanticize aspects of the traditional white wedding.
C'mon! This is light-hearted fictionalized biography a la Bridget Jones. She uses the idea of a hunt for a one-night stand as a device for telling some amusing tales, like giving herself to a Christian rapper who can't go all the way. This is more humor than autobiography, and no more historical than Chaucer's pilgrimage.
Compare the coy remarks about doing everything but with a back out and a neck out--which gives us a pretty good idea without going into too much anatomy with the grim reality of the best selling sex story of our time about a woman who can't get laid.
While the President continued talking on the phone (Ms. Lewinsky understood that the caller was a Member of Congress or a Senator), she performed oral sex on him. He finished his call, and, a moment later, told Ms. Lewinsky to stop. In her recollection: "I told him that I wanted . . . to complete that. And he said . . . that he needed to wait until he trusted me more. And then I think he made a joke . . . that he hadn't had that in a long time."
I guess most Salon readers would rather read Kenneth Starr or an instructional sex manual any day.

Ma'am your daughter is a prodigy. Clearly the apple did not fall far from the tree.
No but there are lots of programs for learning typing, which is the same as learning spelling, because if the word is spelled wrong you are gonged.
I would be happy to design a computer game to assist correct spelling for kiddies. Mistakes would be rewarded with punishments of increasing intensity for refractory errors, such as writing out the word 500 times.
Three strikes and you have to hand copy Psalm 119 with no errors.
It works. I am living evidence.
