    Weird connection

    This whole discussion of pubic hair, or lack thereof, is taking place on a web page that has a picture of Bin Laden in the top right corner. Bin Laden, complete with his huge, straggly-ass beard. It's part of an ad for a CNN special called "In the footsteps of Bin Laden".

    Joan Didion has a line about the Summer of Love that says something about how in that weird, jingly-jangly summer of 1968, seemingly random connections made as much sense, if not more, than a conventional narrative.

    Deja Vu!
