But age is no deterrent to the male libido. Everyone knows that. Apparently neither are some really fundamental modern social norms for certain ultra-orthodox Mormons. Primo quote, Steve.

These guys should have more confidence in your good judgment. (You are using good judgment here, right?) Anyways, I know it's hard to believe, but I once was doing a show in the Catskills and I told a joke about "The Pope, an iguana, and a prostitute walk into a bar..." - You know that one, right? It kills, right? - and nobody laughed. Nobody!! I had to check my own pulse to see if at least someone in the room was alive. I was...barely.

They're licking whipped cream from the top of Spat's head...oh, you mean they're <b><i>attractive</i></b>. Well yes, if like that sort of thing. Personally I'm a bit put off by the objectification of Spats as a sex object. I mean <i>whipped cream</i>!!? Really, how misandronous. I'm sure there is much more to him than a cute smile and bow tie.... or maybe not. :-) Gillian, neither of those womyn are smoking.

There we can agree.

I’m reminded of this recent item I found in Kevin Drum’s Political Animal blog:

During a fund-raiser in Denver, Obama –a former constitutional law professor at the University of Chicago Law School — was asked what he hoped to accomplish during his first 100 days in office.

“I would call my attorney general in and review every single executive order issued by George Bush and overturn those laws or executive decisions that I feel violate the constitution,” said Obama.

As guest blogger Hilzoy put it, “It makes me smile just thinking about it.“

She is much too dignified to ever look at this website, so I'm safe. The girl in the bikini - she's a little young, don't you think? Not to say she's innocent, but still. Plus, <em>my</em> hottie looks like she has had a cavity in one of her upper right molars, which makes her pre-fluoride-in-the-water, and, therefore, more mature and closer to my age.

OK, so I did a shoulder to thigh take, with special emphasis provided by Adam's right hand, or in faith-community terms, a Hebrew hand gesturing toward the universal non-sectarian Promised Land. Oh, and I'm sure no Felbernaut would dream of mentioning your comment to Heather. How do I contact her? gillian,

There was much to abhor, of course, most notably the Viet Nam War and the violent death throes of apartheid, something which should have ended much, much sooner in my beloved South. And there was the horror show called the Nixon administration. But I experienced much to be really energized by and excited about, and I got to participate in some successful moves against racist business policies. Of course, the 60s encompasses the early 70s, and that is when I got to participate in some anti-war activities organized by smart people who knew how not to be counterproductive, including VVAW, even though I was not a veteran (that's a whole other story). And the actual 60s were bookended by the demise of Richard Nixon's presidency. The thing to be depressed about, from my perspective, is that it reared its ugly head again in the Reagan and then the Bush/Bush Lesser years. But that is about to be bookended by a real first-Tuesday-in-November massacre of the neo-Republi-cons in Congress, along with the election of our first black president. I also think the neocon dream of endless war is about to get what it deserves. The horror, of course, is that none of what has happened because of those bastards can be undone. All we can hope to do is end the madness and try our damnedest from keeping it from ever happening again. You may say that I'm a dreamer, of course... If the assassinations of JFK, MLK, Jr., and RFK are what make nostalgia for the 60s hard to embrace, I understand that. I truly understand that, having been a junior in college when the first of those sacrileges against the civil body politic, not to mention horrifying personal tragedies for their families, occurred. Those assassinations set the commonweal back at least two generations. Imagine for a moment two terms of an RFK administration, with MLK, Jr. still alive and moving the poor people's agenda forward. And now imagine the spirits of MLK, Jr. and RFK having a seat at the table in the White House. President Barack Hussein Obama - it leaves a really pleasant aftertaste in the mind. Steve,
