Ms. McMillan, like millions before her, fell for a young piece of ass and assumed this young piece of ass would adore every bit of her just as much as she adored the ass on this young piece of ass. [If you follow.] The price she paid is far smaller than many others, so she can count herself lucky. And although "How Stella Got Her Groove Back" is target of many obvious jokes, I doubt most of Ms. McMillan's fans will care that she's a ranting homophobe with considerable anger-management issues. Heck, maybe she can get another book and movie deal out of all this.

...Ney and several of his staffers' names are all over it. I wouldn't be surprised if Ney and other GOPers in the House suddenly decide to spend more time with their families.

The last sentence in the post is very appropriate. No animal can give consent to any such union so the union is not only illegal, it is also unethical. By extension, it's also impossible for any decent person to regard it as unethical and a form of abuse.

is that this story isn't such a big deal there. Nobody is worked up over it. Not even The New York Post can gin up any real outrage.

And lots of college guys having sex with middle aged women? Willingly? I recall most college guys thinking sex with women in their late 20s and early 30s a good way to go because they were considered easy targets, but women in their 40s or more? Only if they'd had enough cosmetic surgery to look like Demi Moore. And I think that applies to slightly less than one-billionth of one percent of all middle aged women in America.

As preposterous as the premise is, I don't see a problem with it. Women deserve their fantasies, too. It's not like the media is ignoring male fantasies, after all.

I'm sure California Girls are crushed to read that.

Those of us who live in Maryland, next door to Virginia, are used to reading about this sort of thing in the Old Dominion. It's the home of Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell, after all. [And if any Virginians read this and think I'm engaging in a bit of typical Marylander snobbery, I cheerfully plead guilty. Stop making it so easy for us to be snobs re Virginia and we'll stop. That's a promise.]

"As women's earnings have increased, men may have begun to compete for high-earning, highly educated women as women have traditionally competed for high-earning men."

Gee, is it finally time to bury that old slur "gold-digger?" Or, at least apply it gender-neutrally?

---------

I've heard the term used in a gender-neutral fashion before. In any case, how can you be a gold-digger if you're marrying someone in the same educational and economic class? Is there a double secret probation definition of gold-digger that I'm not aware of?

Even if Alito is confirmed the Supreme Court is going to strike down any law with that language.

Her writing does not reveal her to be particularly clever or curious. She's ignorant of public policy and proud of it. She has great natural talent as a writer, but has pissed almost all of it away on pop-psych analysis in her crappy columns. I don't get it. Maureen Dowd just isn't worthy of great respect or great oppobrium. She's a disappointment only to the extent that she has failed to reach her potential and settled for dull mediocrity. How anyone can love or hate her is beyond rational comprehension.

That's about how well the 'test your swimmers' kit will sell. I've never had nor heard of a single real-life discussion among males about how well their sperm swim. Never. And I don't think my life has been atypical of the average, educated, middle class white male in America. This subject just isn't one we discuss. I don't think the subject makes most men uncomfortable, it's just that there simply MUST be something better to discuss. There's got to be. If not, you need to read more.

That's got to be one of the most idiotic things I've ever read on the Internet. And that's really saying something.

They aren't and I've never heard or read anything about that. Until I read Broadsheet. Which leads me to the question: Is this really a problem or does Broadsheet just wish it to be a problem?

...anyone who has Jimmy Eat World on her playlist still has a thing or two to learn. Fortunately, she's young enough to do it. Good on her.

...for reading Jonah Goldberg. There are a number of good conservative columnists, but none of them are named Jonah Goldberg.

Sadly, it's just not working for me. Ms. Wuhrer can take solace in the knowledge that a place at the "Dancing with D-List Stars" studio has been set aside for her. Just ABC's way of making it all right.

Did the author of that op-ed ever actually watch "Seinfeld"? Never dated a self-identified Jewish woman? Of course he did. On more than one occasion, though the most famous was when he was forced to stop dating a Jewish girl because her parents learned that they'd been making out during a screening of "Schindler's List."

Are these self-appointed ethnic guardians getting dumber or just louder?
