Federal court overturns Texas ban on sex toys

http://www.statesman.com/news/content/news/stories/local/02/14/0214sextoys.html

One hopes that this will make life better for all our friends in the Glorious People's Republic of Tejas.

And I certainly expect it to improve the already excellent quality of programming at FenCon. Someone let Tim Miller know.

Thanks for the Memeories

From Bev Hale, an interesting set of questions.

They are after the jump, for the sake of teh kittehs.

( Cut, because that's what they did to baby boys back then. )

Feel free to tell me all about yourself. Well, maybe not that one thing. No, that one. Ewww.

But Katie Couric Said It All the Time!*

Jane Fonda discusses how she came to love "The Vagina Monologues" on the Today Show. Oddly enough, words are involved.

Oops! I guess one can't call a spade a fucking shovel on "Today" either.

The amount of fatuous hyperventilating over this has been amazing. That Meredith Viera was made to "apologize" is even more pathetic. "Cunt" is the name of the portion of the play Fonda was originally asked to read. I'm sure there wil be a ludicrous fine proposed by the FCC (Fucking Cunt Commission) for this violation of decency. At least she only said it, and didn't pull a Janet Jackson . . .

* Stolen from Letterman's "Top 10" last night

Post-Valentine's Random 10+

I slept late, ran a bunch of errands, got the kind of haircut one would expect for $5 at a school, with interpersonal drama added at no extra charge. Will go see Jumper Sunday.

1) The Killing Jar, Siouxsie & The Banshees

2) A taste Of Honey, Stef Meeder Grand Hammond Medley

3) Don't Renege On Our Love, Richard & Linda Thompson

4) Bongo Avenger, Eric & Ryan Kilkenny

5) Cliffs of Dover, Eric Johnson

6) Do It Again, Steely Dan

7) Mister Kingdom, ELO

8) Motion Picture, Asthmaboy

9) Season Of The Witch, Al Kooper, Mike Bloomfield, Stephen Stills

10) Dead Horse, Robin Holcomb

And then there was more . . .

11) The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite, R.E.M.

12) One After 909, The Beatles

13) T-Bone, Neil Young & Crazy Horse


So if you want the best collection of songs about love ever, I recommend without reservation 69 Love Songs, by The Magnetic Fields. From the heights to the depths, in more musical styles than you can shake a stick at (if that's your idea of a good time), Stephen Merritt delivers the goods. And the man can write. Anyone who can rhyme "Louvre," "manoeuvre" and "Hoovre (up the gold dust)" is a genius, period.
