Sex-positive
This makes me think of film Café Flesh. "Would you like me to take a memo?"
You guys had a riot? On account of me? A real riot?

Spike's Bitches 22: You've got Angel breath
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
It's going to take the moderate Christians and moderate Republicans becoming more active & effecting change inside their party & churches.
Speaking of which, I read a nice piece in the LAT's Opinion section the other day on Black churches written by one of the AME pastors. All about the history of liberal activism in the Black church and all What the Heck? about the recent push to put Black churches at the forefront of the anti-gay marriage movement. Made me want to go to church.

I'm a fucking amazing catch!--Fiona Gallagher, Shameless(US)
That really is a beautiful book, Java. Informative, too. It is no "Poisonwood Bible" but we probably wouldn't want to mess around with that thing just now. And not just Europeans...I have a hard time dealing with religion in America, too. Because I don't really have one, but I can't really say I'm an atheist. There are parts of many kinds of spirituality I appreciate very much, but I can't imagine wanting to fight somebody over any of it, and I don't belong to the church I spent my childhood going to. I sometimes wish I could commit that way. Or say it's all dreck like when I was the eighteen yo Angry Atheist(not to say that is anyone else here, just me. I was an awful atheist...made y'all look bad.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Recovering this from the blur of commentary.
In a way, I think that being exposed to good, bawdy humor throughout one's life is probably the best way to gain a healthy attitude towards sex. Good bedroom farce can show that sex is fun, complicated, has consequences, etc. and make it seem like a natural part of life.
Loving Anne's suggestion that sex education be taught through Feydeau.

Holy hell, I meant Rabelais.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
No Baudelaire?
Dude, that's graduate work.

Also Rabelais (see above, re: edited post).

Yay, Daniel!
And for something completely different ... My boss is at flea's Looniversity nailing down details for a two-year-at-least project. I feel so espionage-y. Like I should have her tell him, "Your folks must work so hard, you should give them a raise."

If I only had a brain...
Baudelaire is all depressing and deathy. I don't want to make my kids into premature Goths.
