Too creepy to comment on.

Where is the ogged of yesteryear?

Commenter: An earnest and unironic "what is your favorite porn" thread

ogged: Just about the worst idea ever, unless your plan is to kill the blog forever.

The title of the book is, "The Emerging Democratic Majority" so maybe a peepshow thing instead.

I'm going to continue with depressing political pornography in this thread. "Centrist" and flat-out racist Ron Fournier not happy that the White House Negro didn't get the message (not linking).

From all appearances Wednesday, the president won't change--not his policies, not his style, not his staff, not nothing. Defiant and begrudging, the president said he would meet with GOP leaders, seek their suggestions for common ground, and maybe grab a drink with Senate Majority Leader-to-Be Mitch McConnell.

And in the beyond-parody category Politico chimes in with "Wall Street has a good election. (no link to those dicks either). Finally! Was wondering when those guys would catch a break.

I think "gangbang" is pretty gender-neutral in most contexts. In any case the title is appropriate to the demographics, given certain physiological factors.

I admittedly have not encountered the term "gangbang" in very many context. I mostly said that to set up the second sentence in 25.

As SP notes, there's a book titled "The Emerging Democratic Majority" that was kind of a big deal in political geek circles a few years ago, and its thesis is roughly that (crude paraphrase) the browning of America will lead to an enduring majority for the Democrats. So, change "emerging" to "coming," make it interracial, and there's your joke. Don't ever make me do this again.

Some damn thing. I liked an awful lot of Dhalgren (including the Socratic dialogue between George Harrison and June, if that's what 27 recalls), but at some point all the play-by-play sex really got to be rrrgh. I said as much to an older Delany fan of my acquaintance, and he told me, "No, that's just naturalism. It was the seventies."

27 actually more generally recalls all the play-by-play sex, which it's easier to zoom through each time I reread. It's just good (for me) to have a familiar yet uncomfortable dystopia to go to when the weather gets colder and the world is awful.

This is like a running joke with him. Remember that speech to the press creche? "Some folks still don't think I spend enough time with Congress. 'Why don't you get a drink with Mitch McConnell?' they ask. Really? Why don't you get a drink with Mitch McConnell?"
