Dan Savage on Rick Santorum on Sarah Palin
“She will learn and she will, she will learn at uh, you know, with uh, with a, with a firehose attached to her mouth. I mean with she’s, uh, it’s gonna be pretty tough.”
Well, that depends, uh, on how fast the woman can swallow, Rick.
Via Slog. Thank you once again, Aaron.
Beauty Question
I keep hearing people say that Sarah Palin is good looking. Do they mean now? And compared to what–John McCain? Jesus, maybe I need new lenses, but she doesn’t do it for me. I just can’t get past thoughts of dog sleds I guess. And here’s another question: how much of the way a person is (voice, laugh, intellect, and so on) tends to interfere in a serious way with what your eyes are telling you about a person’s beauty? I have to say that sort of thing comes into play for me big time. I have a really hard time thinking, for instance, that anybody who decided to be a Republican could be beautiful. When I think of Laura Bush, for instance, I think of those standing signs with a slot that one rests one’s chin in for the purposes of picture taking….

kinky or what……
A question for the ladies.
If you found out that your husband had a thing for wearing women’s underwear what would you do?
A question for the men.
If you found out your mate was a bit of a cross dresser what would you do?
hyper-heterosexuals
Italian researchers have suggested a link between genes that make women more interested in men, and thus more reproductively successful, and the homosexuality or bisexuality of their offspring.
Andrea Camperio Ciani and colleagues at the University of Padua, Italy, showed that the female relatives of homosexual men tend to have more children, suggesting that genes on the X chromosome are responsible. Now the team have shown that the same is true for bisexuality.
“It helps to answer a perplexing question - how can there be ‘gay genes’ given that gay sex doesn’t lead to procreation?” says Dean Hamer of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, who was not involved in the work. “The answer is remarkably simple: the same gene that causes men to like men also causes women to like men, and as a result to have more children.”
Mudhoney - “You Got It”
Erotic Magic Workshop
There’ll be workshops, after a fashion, at clusterflockstock, and this is by way of “drumming up” interest in a “workshop” I plan to offer.
“Content” is still “in development”, but I have privately shared with a couple of my fellow ‘flockers a description of my newly invented “Gettin’ It On Ritual” (the core of my Erotic Magic Workshop), and responses have been positive. To share the details in a public forum would only cheapen and coarsen something already crude and vulgar, so I invite those of you planning to attend clusterflockstock to “pencil in” my Erotic Magic Workshop.
Exact time and location will be announced at the event itself when I holler, “Hey, y’all, I’m fixin’ to show my Gettin’ It On Ritual! . . . (Yeah, that’s okay. If you’re still workin’ on your barbecue, just bring it with you.)”
Blue Eyes
If you have blue eyes then, apparently, you should give me a call:
Both blue-eyed and brown-eyed women showed no difference in their preferences for male models of either eye color. Similarly, brown-eyed men showed no preference for either blue-eyed or brown-eyed female models. However, blue-eyed men rated blue-eyed female models as more attractive than brown-eyed models.
In a second study, a group of 443 young adults of both sexes and different eye colors were asked to report the eye color of their romantic partners. Blue-eyed men were the group with the largest proportion of partners of the same eye color.
According to Bruno Laeng and colleagues, “It is remarkable that blue-eyed men showed such a clear preference for women with the same eye color, given that the present experiment did not request participants to choose prospective sexual mates, but only to provide their aesthetic or attractiveness responses…based on face close-up photographs.” Blue-eyed men may have unconsciously learned to value a physical trait that can facilitate recognition of own kin.

farting armpit girl has two daddies
I’m posting this article about whether two Swedish publishing houses are too politically correct simply because I enjoyed this paragraph.
Together the two small publishers have so far only released about a dozen titles, including a book about a boy who wears pink sandals, and a story about a girl who likes to make farting sounds using her armpits, who just happens to have two dads.
A brief history of the mile high club
It all started in November 1916, albeit at a much lower altitude, when Lawrence Sperry, reportedly engaged in sexual activity with a woman, crashed his Curtiss flying boat into the water.

brain scans reveal similarities in gay men and straight women as well as straight men and gay women
Gay men and straight women share some characteristics in the area of the brain responsible for emotion, mood and anxiety, researchers said on Monday in a study highlighting the potential biological underpinning of sexuality.
Brain scans also showed the same symmetry among lesbians and straight men, the researchers wrote in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Regrets (I’ve Had a Few)

What is Marriage?
According to California Supreme Court Chief Justice, Ronald M. George, Marriage is:
The most socially productive and individually fulfilling relationship that one can enjoy in the course of a lifetime
The court also says the State has no ‘compelling reason’ to ban gays from such a relationship.
Even better:
Although he could have decided the case on this basis alone, the Chief Justice kept going. He explicitly found that discrimination against gays, on the basis of their sexual orientation, was equivalent under the California state constitution to discrimination against racial minorities. To my knowledge, California’s is the only state high court to have come to this conclusion (the federal Supreme Court has not weighed in). For gays, this pronouncement is critical because it is portable—that is, gays can now challenge any California state policy that discriminates on the basis of sexual orientation. As Marty Lederman points out elsewhere in Slate, this in its own right is a signal advance for gay people.
In case I haven’t said it before, I love California.
