Free The Ladies: Legalize Prostitution

Yes, we can! (or should, anyway)
I’ve barely cracked the new book SuperFreakonomics, and I’m already running to my computer to bitch. Not about the book; I was a big fan of the first Freakonomics book, and thus far have been enjoying the sequel. But right there in chapter one they bring up some research done [...]

Cheap Meats at The Meatist

Now in print, too.
So my new Meatist column went live today, about cheap meats (specifically cube steaks and pot roast).  You can read it at the New Times Food Blog, here.
And those of you that live down hear and like the feel of actual paper in your actual hands, you can now (ocassionally) read my [...]

Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell

Now with double meaning.
Like Razzles (both a candy and a gum) the phrase “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” now serves double duty.   More than just a discriminatory policy, it’s also apparently the answer to the question of when, exactly, it will be chucked.
Sure President Obama told the crowd at the annual Human Rights Campaign dinner this [...]

I’d Rather Smoke Pot In A Malibu Than Huff Aerosol In A Matrix

Or: the decline of civilization (this time it’s real)
Complaints about “young people today” probably go back to the Australopithecus complaining about “those damn kids, what with their evolving, and their using tools to do things, and that whole standing erect thing…”  For the most part, these sorts of comments seem to come from a generation [...]

Beauty Is Pain (And It Hurts So Good)

Just ask my new soap.
I know what you’re thinking: that I’m going to start whinging about exfoliating soap again.  I’ve done that post though, and that’s not this.
I did find yet another exfoliating soap in my shower though, and it calls itself Cocoa Java.  Or Mr. Cocoa Java if you’d care to show the respect [...]

My Windows 7 Launch Party Pack Arrived Today

Microsoft gives it to me good (thanks to House Party).
So dig it: I’ve been jumping back and forth between Apples and PCs (some with Windows, some with Linux, some with FreeBSD) since the early 90’s, and right now I’m smack in the middle of a “Apple Bites Ass” phase.  I’m actually planning a post explaining [...]
