After all, every American knows that if "fraud is in the culture" of anybody it is the United States Congress. That said, I would totally buy a Cottaging Machine. Every day I walk past the infamous tearoom downstairs from Yale's <a>Newberry Organ</a> (didn't the Clare kids play your Preludes on it?), so I can drop it off on my way to work! The dirty old men are sure to appreciate the gesture--as Derek Jarman demonstrated, a <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075177/" rel="nofollow">Brian Eno soundtrack</a> can turn an otherwise meaningless series of sexual encounters into high art--and wouldn't it be fun to have that great big organ upstairs and a tiny one lower down. Ooh, maybe arrange for simultaneous premieres? Like, duplex? If you Cottage half as well as you Pillage, I'm sure it will be a real toe-tapper--[insert scornful haw haw haw] I strongly suspect Officer Hotness’s “disappointment” was more Interrogation Tactics 101 than actual shock and, like, disillusionment at the soon-to-be-ex-Senator’s half-assed evasions.

I was obsessed a few years ago with the idea of having--the fantasy...--ANOTHER ROOM... but now I think I barely use the other room I have already, I am always in the bedroom, and my obsession runs along triathlon-oriented lines... It was living in Cambridge for the year that eradicated any last extra-room fantasies, I was so glad to be back in NY afterwards that I would have lived in a closet!

Dave Karsnia's potty patrol probably causes a lot of unnecessary misery to some sad, closeted dudes, most of whom are (probably) not Republican senators. Partition footsy? That's "lewd conduct"? It's not like Craig was cupping or exposing or even talking. A pretty easy advance for the reasonable man to reject and/or ignore. That said, Larry Craig certainly is a nasty little hypocritical creep and deserves all the scornful haw haw haws we can muster. He fell for the "you don't need a lawyer" line? Has he never seen a cop show, like ever? <em>Nico responds: Ong. It sounds like, though, it's not a sexual-offender style offense. It sounds like you pay, like, $500 and then it's on your record, but whatever. The only reason Favorite Officer got bothered is because he was being lied to by an elected official. DANNY! Don't you like my idea for the Cottaging Machine? Wouldn't you totally buy one and put them in places where people bad-touch each other by choice? </em> Well, I hate to think of all those dirty old men in Minnesota getting added to the Sex Offenders Registry for doing a little tearoom tapdance.
