Passion Parties is a direct-sales organization based in Brisbane, Calif., that specializes in sex toys, and for the last seven years in a row, Brewer, a high-school dropout who lives in a dry county in the heart of the Bible Belt, has been the top seller in its sales force of 5,000. Roughly four times a week, she drives to the homes of friends and strangers, the Escalade stuffed to the rafters with edible lotions, sex manuals, erotic games, lingerie and, above all, ''power tools'': vibrators with 10 speeds and vibrators with 1; vibrators that hula-hoop and vibrators that glow; vibrators that run underwater and vibrators that run by remote control -- vibrators, in short, that do everything except sort your laundry and file your tax returns.

I should have applied for a so-called I (for information) visa. Because I had not, I was interrogated for four hours, body searched, fingerprinted, photographed, handcuffed and forced to spend the night in a cell in a detention facility in central Los Angeles, and another day as a detainee at the airport before flying back to London. My humiliating and physically very uncomfortable detention lasted 26 hours.

Der erfundene und gegen die Erkenntnisse der UN-Waffeninspektoren durchgedrückte Kriegsgrund soll nun, wie schon gehabt, der CIA als Sündebock angelastet werden. Das Weiße Haus hat demnach im besten, wenn auch falschen Wissen gehandelt.

Gender-theory superstar Judith Butler takes on 9/11 and its aftermath in a new book -- written in clear English! But the task of postmodern theory, she argues, is more crucial now than ever.

Just before Christmas, my 2-year-old son, London, started saying the word "pussy." As the father of two, I understand that new words stick to 2- and 3-year-olds like toilet paper to the bottom of your shoe, yet this ideogramic discovery struck me as different from the others.

A proposed law would make it illegal to "induce" copyright infringement by doing things like building CD burners, P2P networks and iPods.
