Manha Manha started as pr0n!

One of my favorite-all time Muppets bits is the "Manha Manha" song: Well, today I found out (courtesy of wikipedia): "Mah Na Mah Na" is a well-known song, written in 1968 by Piero Umiliani as a soundtrack for the Italian softcore-pornography pseudo-documentary film Svezia, Inferno e Paradiso (Sweden, Hell and Heaven) about sexual activity in Sweden, and was played under a portrayal of lesbian BDSM." See why porn is cool?

John Tierney is my new hero

Up until today, I had never heard of Lou Dobbs, who from now on shall be referred to as “The Schmuck”—I don't watch TV, remember? Let alone that poor excuse for a journalistic news channel they call CNN. On the bus ride heading for work this morning, I got a chance to hear the audio version of a New York Times Op-Ed piece by John Tierney called “Border of Insanity”. I almost wanted to get off immediately and run to a newsstand to buy a copy of the Times for my archives. It is one of the funniest and most intelligent pieces I’ve heard on the whole (Mexican) illegal immigration schpiel that is going on right now in the U. S. Not only did he manage to poke fun at The Schmuck—who has spued racist crap like this—but he hit the exact idea of things to come if immigration extremists get what they want: a border between two nations not unlike that between North and South Korea. And we’re the South.

So do yourself a favor and check out a copy of today’s NY Times at your public library or something. You’ll get lots of good laugs and food for thought.

(Geez, I’d wish this piece of NY Times Op-Ed online content wasn’t subscriber-only so I could share.)
