Advice Goddess Free Swim
I've been working like mad on this op-ed, pretty much day and night, and must get to my column now, so feel free to post links of interest. (Please post only one per comment, lest you activate my spam filter.) More soon!
P.S. And thanks to everybody for all your messages of support vis a vis the TSA incident and suit, and thanks, especially, to Gregg, who brings me groceries when I decide to eat frozen hot dogs for a few days instead of stopping writing to go to the supermarket.
Where the hell is Crid? I miss the Twitter things he does.

"New York Jets convert emotion over 9/11 anniversary into passion, overcome Cowboys
GARY MYERS
Monday, September 12th 2011, 4:00 AM
Plaxico Burress and the Jets win for New York City on Sunday night, bringing joy on an otherwise solemn evening as people remember those tragically lost 10 years ago.
After a sad and reflective day in New York, the Jets were able to put a smile on a lot of faces Sunday night with what just may be the most dramatic and emotionally draining regular-season victory in their history.
The look on Rex Ryan's face after the Jets' sensational 27-24 comeback win over the Cowboys in the season opener not only showed how much he wanted to win this game, but how much pressure and responsibility the Jets felt to cheer up the city on the 10th anniversary of 9/11."
You see---The Jets won because they had to, to honor the 9/11 fallen. Hear the moving martial music in the background.
And our own Amy Alkon is fighting her personal 9/11, when her vagina and anus were raped by a mean TSA agent.
We shall overcome--oh wait, that's the wrong theme song. Kum-biy-yaaa.

@BOTU: 9/11 aside, anyone, ever beating the Cowboys is always enough to put a smile on my face and make me love America.

Please tell me you unfreeze the hot dogs before devouring them?

Actually, I R A Darth Aggie, sadly, that is a very good question.
The truth is, when I'm on a writing jag, I just chop one off of the frozen block of them, stick it in a paper towel, wet the paper towel, and throw it in the microwave. Taking out a pot and boiling water is too time-consuming!

Love fast food but can't fit into the White Castle booth any longer?

Microwaved frozen hot dogs? Oh Amy.....
I understand though. Writing jags don't contribute to me eating well (or at all) either. If I weren't on the other side of the country I'd bring you a pot of chili.

Sure you want to talk about hot dogs with BOTU on line?

That's so sweet. I tend to buy these roasts at Costco that you microwave and eat for a week and otherwise prepare for, well, being the person I am (as some of you know, "I don't cook; I heat). But, Gregg is really sweet about being my big, manly Sally Struthers.

And here's a story about French sluts, and about how their response to their own sluttiness it to convict people of "racially abusive statements."

Sorry, it was really early in the morning. I was distracted to think people overseas were already making money so fast.
