Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

(You need a piano. Especially if someone's selling it on craigslist for a crazy deal. However you should take a piano tuner over with you to look at it first and make sure you have checked the price of a good piano mover.)

DJ, I'm hip. One time, I made Gloria Steinem laugh by suggesting Paglia's book as toilet reading. I might have to upgrade that a bit as it was like '95 and I hadn't heard of Ann Coulter yet. But not by much.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

I think with both Paglia and Coulter, toilet *reading* is still giving them too much credit. "I sit in the smallest room in the house. Your work is before me, but will soon be behind me."

I think with both Paglia and Coulter, toilet *reading* is still giving them too much credit.

And imagine if they blocked up the toilet. Unless your plumber is Joe, do you really want him to know you read Paglia and/or Coulter? I'd rather have him find the toilet blocked with necrophiliac mallard porn.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I also don't get Paglia's rep as a liberal who goes against the grain. When every article you write is "Man, I may dislike conservatives, but you know who really gets it wrong..." you are not voicing thoughtful dissent. You are a contrarian, which takes no thought at all.

This is her column, if you care [link]

What's the word for when a change, say, in a web page, has to spread around the web? I am having a total brain fart.
