Viva Viagra

Self-fulfilling prophecy or deliberate emasculation..?

I do not have ED! (Already, I sound defensive.) But I see these ads for Viagra and Levitra on television, populated by middle-age hunks who look a good ten years younger than I am, and I start to worry.

Worry! Now there's a shortcut to erectile dysfunction. If you worry that you might have it, or be getting it, it won't be long before your friend won't be able to stand up for himself. Is that what they are trying to do?

Hey, remember that old joke..? And the answer is... two Popsicle sticks and a band aid.


Thai girl watches Fahrenheit 451 and doesn't get it

Our exchange student was puzzled after viewing that old favorite of mine from the 60s. I should have known better from someone from a country where the King's image is posted everywhere, where a man was jailed for not rising for the traditional showing of a photo of the King in a movie theater, where Anna and the King was banned, and where police roadblocks every few miles are the norm.

I tried to explain it to her. She laughed and said, "Oh..." not really getting it. What was I thinking?


Hillary suspends campaign

The key word here is "suspends." She is obviously keeping open to the possibility that someone will assassinate the apparent Democratic nominee.

As for Bill... Viva Viagra!


Sex and the City

I really wanted to vent on all the pre-movie hype for this chick flick. It certainly seemed like more than for any movie in recent memory. But, you know what..? It worked. They had the highest opening gross ever. I'd just look like a fool for arguing with success.

I still love this country, where we can say things about our President that would get you locked up in most other countries.
