From today’s Media Notes column by Howard Kurtz:

The press goes nuts over undecideds every four years….

I have no quarrel with folks who are trying to make up their minds between Bush and Kerry. What drives me crazy is voters who are not undecided but willfully ignorant. That is, they can’t make up their minds because they pay so little attention to politics….

I thought about this after reading a Washington Post interview with Charlotte McFarland, an Arkansas woman who has lost a number of jobs. She said she’s definitely not voting for Bush. Fine. But then she said:

“I don’t know about Mr. Kerry. I just don’t know where he stands on the issues.”

Excuse me, but it’s not all that hard to find out. Pick up a newspaper, grab a magazine, turn on the television, listen to the radio. Kerry’s positions are out there. He repeats them every day….

Whether you like Kerry or he leaves you cold, whether you feel a Massachusetts senator with a wealthy wife can connect with the problems of average folks or not, is very much a gut-level individual decision. But to say you don’t know where he stands is just another way of saying you haven’t bothered to find out.

Amen. Ignorant people don’t deserve to have the press slavering all over them.

Via Mike, here is a MetaFilter post about autofellatio (safe for work, as it’s just text) that has evolved into an interesting discussion of whether autofellatio would be gay. Some choice quotes:

Imagine the visceral experience of A) holding your dick; B) having your dick in your mouth. A is very penis-centric in experience, I think; more on the having one’s dick held side than holding one’s dick side. In contrast, B is very mouth centric; more on the sucking a dick side than having one’s dick sucked side. Heterosexuals have their dicks held, and their dicks sucked, but they don’t primarily hold dicks or suck dicks. Autofellatio is more like cocksucking than it is like having one’s cock sucked.

Calling all autofellatio lawyers.

And:

Actually, I just got into a discussion about this with pips and I told that while the idea of sucking a dick (my own or anyone else’s) is a definite turn off (and she said the same for the female equivalent), I admitted that idea of another guy sucking my dick didn’t neccessarily turn me off, since, in the dark anyway, it’s just another wet hole.

This means I have the gay, dosen’t it?

Hee hee.
