Reno and Beyond: I Want You All Over Me
- Glen Greenwald provides a very helpful guide to (in the non-gardening sense of the word) today in his Salon blog, and had another excellent analysis of last week. That is as close to the Patreus testimony I’m prepared to get. Get a free Salon day pass if you don’t subscribe.
- The New York Times has gone plural marriage crazy over the last few days as evidenced by not just one, but two whole articles on growing up as a polygamist in America (that’s polygamy to you gentiles). The refugee boys from Fundamentalist LDS church settlement () are finally thanks to some non-profit groups. Remember, the FLDS is totally in now way affiliated with the actual LDS church. Salon originally wrote about this more than a year ago and I highlighted it in this post. The lost boys, as they’re known, are a serious problem in the state of Utah (even though Colorado City is in Arizona) and it seems as though the state is finally waking up to that fact. As regular readers know, I spent some time in St. George, Utah known to the “plygs” as a “citadel of sin” apparently (a laughable idea indeed if you’ve ever been to St. George). The NYTimes’ second article highlights the living in southern Utah due largely to population growth. I never understood why the Amish are a tourist attraction in Pennsylvania while the polygamists never seems to attract anyone but poor young women. It must have something to do with one group arming themselves.
- I find it bizarre that was featured in the RGJs daily headlines email for several days. Uh, really? Does Mr. Drake’s, um, brave attempt at irony deserve such exposure over and over and over and over? If so, I’ll be fat, dumb, and happy once again too.
- And they say nobody sends thank you cards anymore. Dear Abby would be .
- You’ll have to forgive the minx over the next couple of days. Its hard enough to concentrate on anything knowing that is coming out this weekend (meow), but Bjorn the Houseboy caught on TV last night and is now completely obsessed with learning to Lindy Hop no matter how many times I tell him its just him, his friends at the senior center, and Brian Setzer that are keeping that fad going. Ooh, wasn’t mancake Vince Vaughn in Swingers? Time for Tivo.
- Okay, I’m obviously biased, but has anyone else noticed that for her new perfume (I refuse to write the name) is pretty much a rip-off of two different Chanel commercials? and the one where the woman rises out of the perfume box. The yellow and black striped packaging even reminds me of . Is there nothing original about Gwenihana? Notice I’m ignoring the much too literal catch phrase altogether. is also one of my favorites thanks to the Nina Simone soundtrack and modern aesthetic. It definitely hearkens back to the as well which I woshipped as a kid.

After reading Greenwald, I think I have it figured out: Bushies are like those kids who spend too much time playing EverQuest of World of Warcraft, and their online personae have overwhelmed them to the point where they can no longer see reality for what it is, and what works for them in their fantasy worlds has no effect in the real world.
