"It's Unamerican Not To Like Pussy"
I heart new LA Times owner Sam Zell, who reportedly said:
Some of my best friends go to gentlemen's clubs. It's unAmerican not to like pussy.
Maybe my column will actually run in my local paper one of these days.
Speaking as a blogging dog, I must agree with Mr. Zell despite the hideous cross-species implications that presents.

He's talking about going after gun ads and casino ads, along with ads for LiveNudeGirls. I sense that it's going to be a different LA Times!

Looks like you have a chance, Amy!!!
Lots of good stuff in that article.

Heh. I may have to start reading it. He's dead right. It's 10:30 in the morning and if I wanted to I can go play a few hands of blackjack, watch some LiveNudeGirls, and buy a gun by noon. What's more American than that?

Pussy is as American as apple pie or an apple tart, depending on your political leanings.

Amy, I forgot to ask: does your column run in the Dallas Morning News?
Jeff at February 9, 2008 8:45 AM
It used to. They now run Dear Matronly Amy, I believe (aka Amy Dickinson). If you miss my column in that paper, or would like to read it there (or anywhere else), write to the features editors, or if it's an alt weekly, write to the editor. You might mention how my column is based on actual data and is fair to men.

I got this last night from a Chicago reader (about Amy Dickinson and Cheryl Lavin, another advice columnist):

Well, actually, you can't "buy a gun by noon" - in California. What could be more American than a 15-day waiting period, after you identify yourself to the FBI and get permission?

I should see if he can talk to my wife...

Get a Utah CCW Permit and then buy your gun in UT and fly it back to CA with you.
austin at February 9, 2008 9:36 PM
Because you want to go to "gentleman's clubs" or have a threesome, fft5305? (Are you related to R2D2?)
If you need advice, feel free to write me at adviceamy at a o l dot com.

Consider it done.
Jeff at February 10, 2008 7:49 AM
Hey, thanks - truly appreciate that.
Amy Alkon at February 10, 2008 8:21 AM
No relation. No interest in a threesome, either, except strictly in the realm of fantasy. I do miss the occasional visit to the gentlemen's club, though.

Totally true, unless you're of the "canned ham" persuasion.

austin,
I hope you are not serious. There are at least 3 felony charges waiting for someone who follows your "advice."
You can't get a Utah CCW Permit unless you're a Utah resident.
You can't legally buy the gun in Utah unless you're a resident.
Flying with a gun? Not unless it is declared, checked baggage... I don't think you want to skip that one these days. TSA may be awake.
I'm pretty sure there are some California laws that would apply to posessing even if some "friend" "gave" you the gun in Utah. I'm sure there is some sort of interstate commerce angle that they would hit you with as well.

Einmal was Anderes. Nur weiter so.
