Wow, bboing is particularly backwards today. People who actually like women usually don't have to tell anonymous strangers how much they do by being as brutish and course as possible.

Hey guys, I really like breathing. You have no fucking clue how hot breathing is. I get so turned on by pictures of clouds. Especially when those clouds are being treated poorly. Hot. The air, that is. I totally like air. Honest.

One of the few things worse than watching men use women's bodies as a medium to impress other men is knowing the history of sexual harassment. Twofer, bboing posters. Twofer.

Hmm, there seem to be odd posting issues. The -ization was supposed to say Ryan White-ization.

I don't know what the and was standing in for. But given an and, I'll say this.

And the bottom line is this: if people didn't see the war on drugs as something to worry about until it affected them, our goal should be to disenfranchise them and not get them on our side, as they are not any part of a long-term solution.

Cory, you disappoint me. The drug war is tragic whether or not middle class white people can identify with "innocent victims" or not. This is nothing more than the -ization of the drug war, which has been devestating Black and hispanic communities for so long that it hurts. These individuals are no less innocent than the apparently harmless white victims of this story.

Making this palpatable to white people by making it seem close to home, as though they could be victims, is not the path forward. This is the kind of thinking that made Cindy Sheehan a cause celebre (and ultimately killed the antiwar movement). The war on drugs has been a disaster regardless of whether mainstream America can identify with its victims. Pandering to the people who are part of the problem will get us nowhere. Be part of the solution, recognize who got us in this mess (the kind of people to whom you are appealing).

Don't whitewash history. It's the Chicago 8.

This is one of the very many ways that the right-wing press inflates its circulation numbers and spreads its views through non-market mechanisms. Quite simply, these books (like much of the Murdoch/Richard Mellon Scaife) empire would not survive if not heavily subsidized by a small group of rich wackjobs.

Metafilter had a fairly solid discussion on this topic with a remarkable variety of viewpoints. People here just want to rag on Cory. Night and day.

there should be a word for this: thinking you're getting away with something on the sly while the world laughs at you, anticipating your inevitable demise.

I would recommend that this be known as an inepthft. It's even more fun to write out than it is to say.
