Dear Blowhards --

* Hot for teacher?

* Henry Chappell's visit to the Texas branch of the Tallgrass Prairie is a gem of nature writing: a satisfying, vivid blend of poetry, precision, evocation, and knowledge. It's the kind of thing that I always hope to read when I open a copy of Sierra magazine or Natural History. Fun to see that Henry is a Townes fan too.

* Mencius Moldbug and Larry Auster trade blows over the Civil War and the right to secede. TGGP adds his thoughts.

* Balance gets to be a challenge. (Link thanks to Charlton Griffin.)

* Agnostic has a theory about why it is many Asian guys are such lousy pickup artists. Then he considers the ballet world -- and finds it pretty sexy. Sadly I have no personal experience to draw on here. But I can report that dancers are widely rumored to be the world's best lays.

* Robert Sibley points out that one of the lessons of the great Michael Oakeshott is that we should be wary of losing our heads politically.

* Diet Coke and Mentos changed their lives.

* Steve Sailer gives a lot of thought to Michelle Obama. Fun to learn that "a couple of months after her husband was sworn in as U.S. Senator, Michelle's salary at the [University of Chicago's] Medical Center was raised from $121,910 to $316,962."

* Anonymous confesses that she was always suspicious of her hubby's sexual orientation. "I wanted to have sex every day," she writes, "but he told me I was a nymphomaniac."

Best,

Michael

Funny to see the stories and photos in Co-ed Magazine, especially after MB's last 2 posts. Does anyone else see the double standard, given the sentences these women received? Does anyone have any guess as to what would happen to a 34-year old male teacher having sex with a 13-year old girl?

Of course, this may be because there are quite a few men, maybe even a majority, that don't believe the a 16-year old banging his cute 26-year old teacher is any sort of crime, but a dream come true!

Your link to the msn article ("Anonymous confesses that...") seems to be broken.

The "anonymous" link appears to be broken.

Fixed now, thanks.

...female school teachers are the new male Catholic priests.

Er...I kinda doubt the "victims" of their "abuse" would be traumatized by the experience.

Actually, Ricpic, I had a buddy who was, uh, indoctrinated by a senior girl when he was a freshman. He said later that while of course it was fun at the time, it kind of messed him up getting it that young and not entirely by his choice.

(She basically got him to her house for some other reason, gave him a tour of the house 'cause the 'rents were gone, when they got to her bedroom, she stepped out to pee and came back nekkid and jumped him.)

But I take your point. If you have something happen that's traumatic, getting jumped by an older girl would be on my list of things I'd be willing to try to get over.

Let's hear it for trauma! Yeah, mama!

Larry didn't post my last couple emails on the Civil War thread. I suspect he's still thinking them over. He so wants to be a Unionist. He so doesn't want to hear Horace Greeley's New York Tribune described, ">in 1850, as a "socialist organ..."

Why couldn't I have had such teachers, or such seniors when I was a freshman as Yahmdallah describes? :(
