Moral Majority?
October 23, 2004 12:54 PM
I was just thinking about how bizarre it is that while we have a religious zealot as our president and his administration is promoting sexual responsibility in the form of abstinence (piety?), we find ourselves increasingly surrounded and bombarded by soft porn as marketing.

September 3, 2004 06:51 AM
Political content. From this article, an excerpt of Norman Mailer's comments. I couldn't agree with him more. It could be that the most incisive personal crime committed by George Bush is that he probably never said to himself, “I don’t deserve to be president.” You just can’t trust a man...
