The courts finally rule in favor of the file-sharing services. Wow. Maybe information really does want to be free (sorry, I've been noodling through a hypertext poem, "Revolution is not an AOL Keyword", to the tune of "The Revolution will not be televised."

Announcing publication of a book designed to solve sexual problems that frequently plague marriages called Real Foreplay: 8 Easy Steps for the Man who Wants to Be Closer and More Intimate with his Wife. Taking a lesson from Viagra, notes the press release, "At 83 pages, Luscher designed this book to be absorbed quickly." I'm thinking there may be a market for the companion volume "8 Easy Steps for the Man Who Wants to Be Closer and More Intimate with Someone Else's Wife." Google search of the day, by the way, is Lesbian Bed Death.

I am pleased to announce that as of yesterday (within an hour of my very first post, in fact), I was banned from the Something Awful forums. This doesn't bother me in the least. In fact, I was reminded, when confronted with the "You're banned, asshole!" pop-up employed by the web admin, of the single minded self-importance of a mall security guard.

My crime? Linking (without authorization, mind you) to the following picture:

A while back, Gene Weingarten of the Washington Post wrote a hilarious (and typically scathing) article on "the worst novel in the English language," The Great American Parade, by Robert Burrows.

As it turns out, Burrows is now a Lulu author. You can buy his opus here.
