Read it.

Read it and learn how closed-minded and terrified we Americans really are.

Starring Matthew Perry and Bradley Whitford.
Chandler and Josh. Wow. That’s weird.

And here’s a quick ad (that ran during the closing episode of West Wing).

If I were a bear,
And a big bear too,
I shouldn’t much care If it froze or snew;
I shouldn’t much mind If it snowed or friz–
I’d be all fur-lined With a coat like his!

For I’d have fur boots and a brown fur wrap,
And brown fur knickers and a big fur cap.
I’d have a fur muffle-ruff to cover my jaws.
And brown fur mittens on my big brown paws.
With a big brown furry-down up to my head,
I’d sleep all the winter in a big fur bed.

— A.A. Milne

“For more than a century, Alice, Wendy and Dorothy have been our guides through the Wonderland, Neverland and Land of Oz of our childhoods. Now like us, these three lost girls have grown up and are ready to guide us again, this time through the realms of our sexual awakening and fulfillment. Through their familiar fairytales they share with us their most intimate revelations of desire in its many forms, revelations that shine out radiantly through the dark clouds of war gathering around a luxury Austrian hotel. Drawing on the rich heritage of erotica, Lost Girls is the rediscovery of the power of ecstatic writing and art in a sublime union that only the medium of comics can achieve. Exquisite, thoughtful, and human, Lost Girls is a work of breathtaking scope that challenges the very notion of art fettered by convention. This is erotic fiction at its finest.”

I have three books to layout and my productivity has come to a crashing halt because I cannot make heads nor tails of InDesign. I learned layout on Quark Express and the whole thing is just driving me mad.

I need a crash course in InDesign. Can anybody teach me?

Even Rick Santorum deserves accurate criticism.

From FactCheck.org:

Summary

A TV ad by the Association of Trial Lawyers of America (ATLA) PAC portrays Republican Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania as being “out-of-this-world” on women’s issues.

The ad shows him cruising through space and accuses him of saying he “questions why some women work.” In fact, Santorum was defending women who give up careers to care for children.

The ad also says he sponsored a bill that “restricts the rights of women injured by medical errors.” The bill was actually an attempt to address soaring malpractice insurance rates for obstetricians and gynecologists, and would have limited awards for non-economic “pain and suffering” to $250,000 per doctor or hospital. Not mentioned in the ad is that the bill also would have capped lawyer’s contingency fees.

Mr. Ward, I must ask for mercy. Please, Mr. Ward. Please stop proving that I am a worthless turd. You have won. You have made a fool of me.

The last straw came when I read his comments about me in his journal:

“And I think Wick is just jealous that I’m getting to work on the new Chill RPG… and that I date attractive intelligent women… and that I have the respect of my peers… and that my life is moving ever-forward… and that I choose to surround myself with positive influences…”

Yes, Mr. Ward. You are absolutely correct. I am so jealous of your professional accomplishments. My own work on the CHILL roleplaying game–writing the history of SAVE section and assisting in the design of the basic system–is completely overshadowed by your own work on the book. You are correct: it is as if I didn’t work on the book at all.

And I, myself, have never been seen with attractive, intelligent women. Not a single one. Not ever.

And, of course, I have no respect from any peers. And, I must admit, I do surround myself with negative influences. Negative influences like all my fellow game design professionals on my mutual friends list.

Thank you for demonstrating my weaknesses, Mr. Ward. I am humbled by your superior wisdom.

I will trouble you no more.
