"Stupid" Definied
MONICA NOVOTNY: John, what about this controversy over opposition to Obama’s speech to school children? JOHN HARWOOD: I gotta’ tell you Monica, I’ve been watching politics for a long time, and this one is really over-the-top.

Yawn, More idiocy in Polk County, Flori-duh
Honestly, do my readers need any more evidence that there really wouldn’t be anything wrong with putting a wall around Polk County, Flori-duh, and just filling the entire place with liquified pig shit? I mean, not much would change. Latest evidence, a kid tried to take photographs of a traffic light in a school zone, and a dumb as fuck

Indianapolis Adult Entertainment Ordinance Struck Down – Annex Books v. City of Indianapolis
The City of Indianapolis has a long and shameful history of treading on the Constitution in its own little private war on sexual free expression. Back in the 1980s, religious fundamentalists on the Indianapolis City Council teamed up with Catharine MacKinnon and passed a ludicrous anti-pornography ordinance designed to creatively outlaw adult entertainment altogether. Under that law, not only was

DHS Issues New Border Search Rules for Electronic Media
by Jason Fischer The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects “[t]he right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures . . . (source).” Since 9/11, a good number of feathers have been ruffled, debating what constitutes an “unreasonable search.” Pundits a plenty have been ranting about “privacy this”
Twitter is Stupid, Give Up
I have been thinking about composing a piece on why Twitter is stupid, but making money got in the way of that. And, in the meantime, someone else wrote the perfect piece. See Devin Coldeway, Why I Don’t Use Twitter. In your face, Fischer!
Mexican Pole Dancing
by Tatiana von Tauber A Facebook friend of mine posted this very sexy pole dancing video. I have yet to find any vulgarity in the dancer’s moves. Not only does this particular interpretation of pole dancing show off the beautiful female body in movement but oozes with sensuality and eroticism. I’d hand her some hard earned cash for the performance.

By: Zac Papantoniou While en route to check-off another item on my epic list of neglected errands thrown to the wayside while studying for the state bar exam I just took, I happened to catch a story being discussed on a local talk-radio station (yes, I listen to talk radio while driving . . . obsessively). They mid-morning show (The
Women Take the Helm in the Market for Porn
As my co-blogger, Tatiana, often proves to us – modern, third-wave feminism isn’t about wearing birkenstocks and not shaving. It looks like ABC News finally caught up to Tatiana. See ‘Adults-Only’ Businesses Find Growing Market Among Women.

Some Religious People Actually Get It
I can forgive any confusion that anyone might have held about the teachings of Jesus Christ or any other “prophet,” as long as that confusion occurred before 1989. In 1989, we received the word from Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure. “Be Excellent to Each Other” It looks like there are some religious leaders in California who saw the film.
