"FREMONT, Calif. -- Once upon a time, before Steven Brill knew Jim Romenesko's e-mail address, before The New Yorker discovered Weblogs, the best source for information about what journalists were doing on the Web sites was Tom Mangan, a full-time copy editor for the Peoria Journal Star."

"IT seems likely masturbation has always been the most common and universal of human sexual experiences — but only in recent decades have attitudes toward sexuality in general, and masturbation in particular, begun to improve. There never has been a "golden age" of sexual freedom and tolerance, though specific taboos have always varied widely. The frequent condemnation of masturbation apparently stems from a suprisingly simple mandate: there's safety in numbers. For centuries, all forms of sexual pleasure unlikely to result in population increase have routinely been denounced as wrong."

"HAVANA (Reuters) - Barely touched since the colonial era of piracy and shipwrecks, sea bottoms around Cuba are an underwater fantasy world promising treasure-laden sunken ships, insights into times gone by -- and maybe even a lost city."

molemen

occasionally i listen to the tony kornheiser show over the internet. hes a sportswriter for the washington post. ostensibly the show is about sports but much of the patter is general in concern. for instance, he was just ranting about how he didnt fit into an off the rack suit and was disturbed by the clerks lack of concern. now, someone from the store has called him to service him better. but one thing thats drawn me in lately is that they are having some contract dispute for the online advertising. and believe me, the ads are enough to turn the stream off. sometimes they can span for more than 10 minutes. but during this outage, instead of dead air, they occasionally leave the mics open and have a show within a show. they are aware that the internet listeners can hear and sometimes they address us specifically. an interesting porthole into sportsradio at work.
