SCOOTER LIBBY WRITES BEAR PORN

This is so great. The New Yorker looking at Scooter's weird novel "The Apprentice":

Other sex scenes are less conventional. Where his Republican predecessors can seem embarrassingly awkward—the written equivalent of trying to cop a feel while pinning on a corsage—Libby is unabashed:

At age ten the madam put the child in a cage with a bear trained to couple with young girls so the girls would be frigid and not fall in love with their patrons. They fed her through the bars and aroused the bear with a stick when it seemed to lose interest.

And, finally:

He asked if they should fuck the deer.

The answer, reader, is yes.

This sheds some light on why it is Republicans always say that gay marriage leads to hot man/bear lovin'. Seriously, how fucking typical of these conservatives who claim to be the "moral majority" and then go home and write FUCKING BEAR PORN.

Other fun things:

Marijuana now legal in Denver! (well, not entirely, but a nice gesture anyway)

Beastie Boys concert film coming! (love that poster)

Professor Salt's advice for getting the best BBQ in LA: Look for bullet-proof glass.

Second-hand music pimping: Jason in Japan directs me toward DJ Food's "Raiding the 20th Century" mega-mix. Jason in America directs me to the spazz-punk of Lightning Bolt! And Dave in Milwaukee has a new band, The Engine Room, with some very strong songs in the, I dunno, REM/Replacements mode, maybe? Good stuff, anyway.

Ian Masters' radio shows Background Briefing and Live from the Left Coast are always great listens (and available as podcasts from his sight). He's got an interview with Noam Chomsky up this week that's especially good listening.
