Update: It’s now April 10 and Yahoo has apparently not yet taken down adult profile photos or eliminated adult profiles. Nor have they said if they changed their minds. Though they have issued a clarification of their original clarification, neither of which clarified anything …
And … April 11. They did it. Rachel’s photo is [...]

This almost sounds as though it is an e-mail hoax, but it is not. And I wonder if the brainiacs at Yahoo have really thought all the way through about what they just told me they’re going to do.
From my inbox, two minutes ago:
“We’re making some changes that will affect one of your Yahoo! profiles. [...]

For the record, I’ve never talked to anyone from this website that’s quoting me. (Update 3/25: The article is no longer there … but I’ll leave this post alone otherwise.)
It’s a pretty harmless quote. I might have said it to someone. It might even be directly from Beauty from Afar.
They don’t say anything about why [...]

Pick the quote from the autumn of 2002 and tell me who you think has a better grasp of world affairs:
“I am very certain that this military engagement will not be very difficult.”
– John McCain on CNN, September 12, 2002.
or:
“I know that even a successful war against Iraq will require a US occupation of [...]

I’ve yet to seriously attempt writing science fiction/fantasy for publication and I don’t know if I ever will, despite my love for the genre and the existence of a couple of plot sketches in the “ideas” folder on my computer. I haven’t really kept up with what is being done, even to the extent of [...]

… can manage to shunt the latest prostitution ring news off its front page, I certainly can’t leave it at the top of my blog, huh?
Nothing to see here about the governor of New York anymore. Nope. Or CYT (Cute Young Thing) “Kristin,” whose MySpace Page now has more than 7 million page views. One [...]

The Times is a paper I love to hate. I read it. I expect greatness from it, since it is, after all, The New York Times. I am disappointed far too often and far more than I was years ago.
Maybe my standards keep going up. It is possible. I mean, *I* expect to keep [...]

So the New York governor who was once the squeaky-clean white-knight attorney general, the scourge of Wall Street, is going to resign for being outed for paying for sex with gorgeous young escorts.
I get that. It’s really hard to muster up any sympathy. It’s difficult for me to think of him now other than as [...]

I’m getting a little more suspicious of everybody as events unfold. That’s normal for anyone who’s ever done time as a reporter …
So, Gov. Spitzer was “nabbed,” to use the technical word, because he was identified on a federal wiretap, making arrangements to meet a high-priced sex worker, who allegedly traveled from New York [...]

As I type, New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer is holding a news conference to confess his involvement in a prostitution ring. The New York Times apparently had the scoop and I expect it will be a least a couple of days before this particular story falls off the front page.
As do most politico-sex scandals, this [...]
