And if that guy has had sex with a willing partner other than his right or left hand, I will be very surprised.

...precisely BECAUSE you're an American woman. The main thrust of the book and the review is about Western men with Asian women in Asia, and both conditions need to apply to trigger the sort of fetishization Laura Miller talks about, and Brightstar et al exemplify.

Go back in this thread and read the letters being posted by Not-So-Brightstar, something stinks (because he's smelling himself), Great White Male (in his own mind), and others. Their preference for Asian women -- and in the context, it's clear that they mean Asian women reared in Asia, NOT in the West -- is predicated mostly on their ideas of what Asian culture is like, and the role of women within it.

They are the People of the Lie.

Witness AF's blood brother (and likely sockpuppet) "farragut" spewing the long-since-debunked Republican lie that Kennedy 'stole' the 1960 election. http://www.slate.com/id/91350/

They whine and whine and whine about how nobody wuuuuvs them and everybody haaaaaates them -- and then run to their keyboards and talk about whiny liberals.

I'd call it "cognitive dissonance", but that would imply the presence of cognition.

One needn't go to a chain restaurant to eat affordable restaurant food. Try broadening your food horizons a bit and you might be pleasantly surprised.

The same phenomenon was noted in autopsies of soldiers killed in the Korean War, nearly twenty years earlier. Prolonged, extreme stress, such as that faced by combat troops, causes arteries to harden and eventually damages the heart.

Oh, and why hasn't Mark Kirk been brought up on treason charges? http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/06/rep-mark-kirk-r-il-i-told-china-not-to-believe-us-budget-numbers.php

For some reason Minnesota is home to boatloads of the zanier wingnuts, and not all of them live in Michele Bachmann's congressional district.

Yet again, the wingnuts show that their prime motivation is deeply tied to, if not indistinguishable from, totally unreasoning race-based fear. The Uighurs were and are innocent, but that cuts no ice over at Captain's Quarters.

...the next time he visits Israel:

Halbardier is one of the survivors of the Israeli's "accidental" attack on the USS Liberty in 1967:

The attack occurred in international waters off the coast of Gaza during the Arab-Israeli Six Day War. The Liberty, a navy intelligence ship, was there to monitor the war.

Instead, the ship was attacked by waves of Israeli fighters firing rockets, machine guns and napalm bomblets that dispersed a fiery jelly on the deck, according to some reports of the attack.

[...]

Survivors of that fateful day and other supporters maintain the attack was carried out by orders with the Israeli military and that it was deliberate.

Israeli officials, on the other hand, said the attack was accidental and have since apologized to the U.S. government.

Halbardier said survivors were told by the government officials to keep the attack to themselves and not tell anyone not even their spouses and family members upon returning home.

"I was told to forget it ever happened," he said.

Crew members were threatened with court martial and prison if they broke the silence.

Pretty much solely because Obama picked her. (He backed somebody else in the primaries -- somebody whose views are nearly identical to his, but who he pretends would have been soooooo much more liberal.)

Said lawyer would look at the very thing you and I see as a Good Thing and say: "LOOK! I told you she's a right-wing fascist!" Anything that could show her in a good light, such as her work for campaign finance reform, he pooh-poohs or twists around to make it an alleged negative.

Can't win for losing.

She watched him leave and later found pictures of him online

So why not publish his name and web pictures to the world? Why isn't this site linked in the article? If law enforcement is unresponsive, then these people need to be exposed before they commit horrific crimes in some other way. Let them know that there are millions of people who are watching, that they are not protected in their shadow world, and that if they "need to know where you live" then they will have to bear the world knowing where they live. These maggots abhor sunshine, so why not turn it on full bore?

Exactly! But -- before you do all that, document, document, document.

Don't just publish the website link -- copy all the pages that are there, so the creeps can't get away with scrubbing off all the evidence.

Make sure you document -- and save, preferably among many friends -- the evidence, both online and physical.

THEN publish, and dare them to either sue you or go away. They won't want to face a lawsuit because that turns a klieg light on them.

The old saying "if men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament" is true. Notice that condoms are one of the few birth-control devices that have been legal in most locales since their creation centuries ago? It's because when they were created, their primary purpose was NOT to prevent pregnancy, but to save the man from getting a venereal disease.
