Joseph Farah’s column yesterday, I do want acknowledge, especially to columbine, the double-edged sword of separate-but-equal high schools. It’s not an ideal solution and it has both practical and philosophical pitfalls. But I think, in this particular case and at this particular time, it’s important to remember these students were already at risk. They were […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
A look at Google News shows the worldwide spread of the announcement and I was initially going to leave it at that. But then I saw conservative columnist Joseph Farah bitching and moaning about the school and it got my hackles up. So let me answer a few of his arguments/guestions/comments. Welcome to the brave […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Penthouse is dead, but here in Connecticut, a different Penthouse headline is turning heads. Here, it’s the first-ever Penthouse-licensed erotic boutique. Penthouse Boutique will open its doors later today and because it’s located in a “gold coast” town that has more than its fair share of porn shops, it’s drawing protests. Now, the interesting thing […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Nowegians are too shy to buy erotica, making Norway’s most stolen book Pauline Reage’s Story of O. A charming piece of curiosity to start one’s week off with, eh? Personally, I’d like to see the demographics of of the thieves. Mostly women? Curious teenagers? Dirty old men? BDSM hopefuls? The mind just reels at the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
use that word. Pornographers and the “family values” right and I see little difference in the way they use it. Re: CNN transcripts from a recent Crossfire show.

such a nice day — dry air, low 80s, sunny, sunny, sunny. Who wants to blog on a day like that? A family day trip was a much better option to exercise. Today, however, I had a boatload of social services meetings surrounding my disabled son’s care, so the “single item” approach still makes sense. […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
has ended. I’m back on the mortal plane and Pursed Lips is www’d once again. (Thanks, Roger.) Because I’m not sure my RSS feed automatically updates itself for you (haven’t had time to inquire about that), you might want to check and see if you need to update the feed yourself. FYI: Diary to be […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
It started with my decision to move Pursed Lips over to JournURL.com, largely to take advantage of some blogging/publishing features that aren’t available at section12.com. No biggie; good friend Roger runs both and that transition has progressed just fine. At the same time, I finally got around to transferring my domain name to a less […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
