Can readers forgive my one sock puppet?
2006-09-25 09:03:00
Cathy Youngll regret if I communicate with them again. I have ambition. I wish to be taken seriously as an independent scholar of pop culture. Although Young thinks that transgressors have been punished too severely, she gives good reasons why sock puppet ry is unacceptable behavior for those seeking credibility and intellectual respect. My first sock puppet will therefore be my last. A related

Greetings to my readers in the Sultanate of Brunei
2006-09-07 18:47:00
Thanks to LiveBlogStats, I know that someone in the southeast Asian nation of Brunei Darussalam visited my site yesterday morning. I like to think of that hit as a microscopic footnote in the difficult, sometimes bloody, dialogue between the Islamic world and the liberal-democratic West. The Playboy Philosophy [not work-safe] is certainly not compatible with the officially Islamic,

Want to go to the Playboy Mansion? Start saving your money.

On March 30 of this year, I attended a benefit party for the Marijuana Policy Project at the Mansion in Los Angeles. If I recall correctly, I got an early-bird discount and paid $500 for admission. Also, I seem to remember reading in a letter from the MPP that it will be a recurring event. Bookmark the MPP site and check it regularly for the next Mansion fundraiser.

With a beautiful bare midriff on the cover, Reason returns Playboy’s favor
2006-08-25 02:59:00
Look for a sexy cover in the political section of the magazine aisles soon. The October Reason shocks the biotech busybodies with a cover story called in its October 2005 issue (the one with naked-but-for-paint Sara Jean Underwood on the cover). This post was modified on August 28, 2006, at 8:29 a.m. I replaced the vague word well-toned with the word taut.

File this under “No such thing as bad publicity”
2006-08-15 08:14:00
This review of my blog is not at all flattering. But I dont universally admire. And I think the other libertarian blogger they mock on that page is rather charming in her unorthodox way of talking about herself as a potential mate. For self-described liberals, these people tolerate very little nonconformity. A related subsequent post: Playboy can no longer tell friend from foe

This blog is not stealth marketing
2006-08-03 23:41:00
And shame on you if you assumed it was. If you thought this must be stealth marketing, your misunderstanding of the cause-and-effect relationships between production and consumption has made you paranoid about marketers and their work. Like the rest of us, corporate bigwigs put their hopes in many things beyond their control. Like the rest of us, they cope by rubbing their worry beads. Thus will
