  • Hard News: Need to Know,

    Might be a douche but can be pretty funny at times...

    Gareth, there's good linguistic change afoot. Consider reconsidering.

  • Cracker: Being there is everything.…,

    Theres an upside to all this of course. In most cases (boom-boom) it does us no harm at all to lose a bunch of things we think we need. It can open a portal to things like emancipation from those pesky possessions, sanguinity in the face of farce and even, if it's the third time in three years, moments of Zen.

  • Hard News: A plot point is reached,

    Well if everyone else is claiming an industry portfolio I want to be Minister for Marijuana. That kind of cash makes the racing industry look like small potatoes. Mmmmm....potatoes......

    Now where did I put that white paper...

  • Up Front: They Have the Best Rides,

    You wouldn't believe the stuff they'd have playing in the background on their TVs while someone was trying to explain the architecture of their new system.

    I was once a hair's breadth from being employed there. The last few candidates did a trial viewing of some "typical" material and we were asked to write down how we thought they should be rated. There were 5 short clips: 3 pron, 2 violent. Harsh, harsh work. I got cocky and flunked the interview and thank fuck for that.

  • Up Front: They Have the Best Rides,

    I can appreciate that it is possible for women to use their sexuality in an empowering way.

    Me too. But isn't it implicit that someone else (for argument's sake, a man) in turn becomes a victim of that power? And that, because of the flaws in the underlying narrative, nothing has really been gained?
