Two Thoughts on Gender Presentation and Youth Sports — Andrew Wheeler on Little League and life.
McLaren & Meyer & Rotten & Vicious & me — Roger Ebert on the Sex Pistols.
Worlds without women — Maureen Dowd compares the Catholic Church to Saudi Arabia. I know, let's blame coverage of priestly pedophilia on the Jews! Also this: Connecticut bishops fight sex abuse bill. Because you, a little justice in Christ's church is a bad thing.
