“Tiger Woods going to Arizona for sex addiction rehab?”

I love this sort of headline.  You will notice ONLY rich men seem to worry about “sex addiction.”  One also notes, there are never any rich women going.

This is so bogus.  I like[d] sex.  I would have  done it with lots of women, but I never had enough money to be “attractive.”  I’m 70, and would become 25 in the eyes of 20ish something girls if I had $10 million to throw away on bimbos.  Money is ALWAYS  attractive to women.

If  a guy is famous [& even better rich], there will be no end of young and no so young women willing to approach them on their knees.

This is, of course, merely an observation as I’ve never been either famous enough or rich enough to be so lucky as to have a possible “sex addiction.”

The vanquished know war. They see through the empty jingoism of those who use the abstract words of glory, honor, and patriotism to mask the cries of the wounded, the senseless killing, war profiteering, and chest-pounding grief. -Chris Hedges, journalist, author, and war correspondent (b. 1956)

Commandment Number One for any truly civilized society is this: Let people be different. -David Grayson [pen name of Ray Stannard Baker], journalist, author (1870-1946)

An interesting article.   Seems a little bit like manufacturing the results one needs.  Tsk, tsk!

Amtrak is still in the 20th Century.  I was looking into a cross country train trip.  However, Amtrak does NOT support Wi-Fi.  Laptops would be off the net.  They need to deal with this.

I’m looking forward to moderating the panel on the Solar Updraft Tower at LOSCON on the weekend after Thanksgiving.  I have 2 PhDs & a novelist on the panel.  No fuel [well, there is the sun]/no waste, just energy.  Sounds good to me.
