    Good old Dan Savage. His previous meme was to create a definition for the word "Santorum" that would appropriately honour the senator of that name.

    If you haven't heard of that one, just Google "Santorum" -- it's the first result. However, it's not for the squeamish -- If you think you might be offended by it, then you probably will be.

    Oh yes, santorum. Disgusting, but well-deserved.

    I have my issues with some of Dan Savage's politics, though. He's a leader in the "blame Nader" camp, and feels anyone who doesn't support the Dems, no matter what, is a traitor.

    It's hard for me to understand that, given what little the Democrats have done for us.

    But I love his column, of course.

    Click on it? What a novel concept. I must have been really befuzzled yesterday.

    I clicked. Funny that I got the mf right but couldn't figure out the rest.

    I was telling my daughter J about this yesterday. She thinks the acronym is kind of lame. "No one will know what that means, and isn't the point to get people to think? " she said. Nope, not in this case. In this case, I get to be part of a really club and maybe I'll run into other people with ITMFA gear and we can wink and smile at each other.

    But I will never wear a santorum t-shirt. Just thinking about santorum actually makes me physically ill -- both the frothy mixture and the senator. OTOH, as you say, he deserves it.

    Amazingly, the senator nauseates me more than the substance. Although I must say your use of the word "frothy" gives it s special stomach-turning kick.

    Oh, I can't take credit for "frothy." I think that is Mr. Savage's word.

    You're right about Santorum; he's far more disgusting than any substance. Anyway, who am I to judge other people's substances? But Santorum? Him I'll judge.

poll: "this brings into very clear light how tenuous the support is for this" war

Canadians have had it with this pointless war in Aghanistan. Canadians' tepid support for the combat mission in Afghanistan would turn icy should the Afghan government proceed with a law allowing marital rape, a new poll suggests. A proposed family law code for Afghanistan's Shia minority would make it illegal for women to refuse to have sex with their husbands, and would require that they get approval from a male relative to leave the house. A survey by The Canadian Press/Harris-Decima suggests 40 per cent of Canadians support the Canadian military mission in Afghanistan. But should the family law code be enacted, the poll suggests opposition to the mission would rise to roughly 75 per cent. Jeff Walker, senior vice-president of Harris-Decima, said that at that level of opposition, it would be difficult for the Harper government to maintain its commitment to keep combat troops in Afghanistan until 2011. "This brings into very clear light exactly how tenuous the support i...

what i'm (also) reading: tween lit

Part of my assignment for the new Kids On Wheels magazine is writing serial fiction. I haven't written fiction in many years, and when I did, it was for teenagers; the KOW audience is 8-12 years old. I'm quietly freaking out, wondering how on earth I'm going to meet this challenge. I know I'll come up with something, but will it be anything anyone would ever want to read? To start my mind working along age-appropriate lines, I've been re-familiarizing myself with classic books for the reading level. I chose five: The Phantom Tollboth by Norton Juster, A Wrinkle In Time by Madeleine L'Engle (one of my favorites when I was that age), the incomparable Harriet The Spy by Louise Fitzhugh, From The Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler by E. L. Konigsburg, and the modern classic Holes by Louis Sachar. Everyone should read Holes , it is brilliant. It was also make into an excellent movie, with a screenplay written, thank goodness, by the author. All this r...
