Excerpt from \"Say Yes To War\" by Dan Savage October 2002

\"War may be bad for children and other living things, but there are times when peace is worse for children and other living things, and this is one of those times. Saying no to war in Iraq means saying yes to the continued oppression of the Iraqi people.\"

\"War may be bad for children and other living things, but there are times when peace is worse for children and other living things, and this is one of those times. Saying no to war in Iraq means saying yes to the continued oppression of the Iraqi people.\"

So instead of just moving on why don\'t we apportion Dan Savage his fair share of the carnage. Let\'s arbitrarily assign him responsibility for the death of, say, an eight year old Iraqi girl. That sounds about right doesn\'t it? That still leaves 649,999 dead Iraqis to be apportioned out to Bush and the neo-cons and other war supporters.

The spate of recent U.S. deaths -- 19 so far in August -- seems certain to intensify the debate over U.S. progress to calm Iraq and gain ground against militants before a key September report to Congress.

U.S. deaths dropped slightly in July to 79 -- the lowest monthly tally since 70 were killed in November. Before July, more than 100 American forces died each month in the April-to-June period as the U.S. military struck out at insurgents on dangerous streets and in dangerous cities across Iraq.

Also, I sure hope it was consensual, as Murphy claims, and not sexual assault, for the 22 year-old's sake. My sympathies go out to him.

Also, ahahahahahahahah.

"'This was a pretty stocky black guy, and there was nothing but other black guys around in the park,' Allen, who is white, told police in a taped statement after his arrest. Allen said he feared he 'was about to be a statistic' and would have said anything just to get away."

Despicable, that he thinks his constituents are dumb and racist enough to buy this. But also genuinely hilarious.

Thank you!!!!

In John Waters' film "A Dirty Shame," Tracey Ullman's character wakes from a concussion to find that she can think of little else than getting her box eaten out. All day long. When she describes her sex addiction, she puts it this way:

"Oh, Ursula, ever since my concussion, I've learned so much about eros. I'm a sex addict, too. I'm a cunnilingus bottom, and I'm your mother."

I found this utterly baffling. A cunnilingus bottom should be the person PERFORMING the cunnilingus, not the person RECEIVING it. Of course, maybe it's different with cunnilingus, as opposed to fellatio, but I just don't think so.

Still, I was willing to defer to John Waters, one of the truly great pervs of our era, on the matter.

Thanks, Dan, for clearing this controversy up in my favor. Tracey Ullman is definitely a top.

Of course, that is the basis for a legal defense. There is no defense for this man for using gay marriage as a wedge issue.
