What This Blog Needs is a Little Dada

One day I put a new phone message pad on the table next to our kitchen phone. It was a brown-paper square pad illustrated with a pen & ink portrait of a rabbit's derriere. Something about this design inspired every visitor to our kitchen to embroider the original to their...

Feelin' It

This is 10-year-old Micheal's audition at Motown. When he sang, it was the only time he could tell the truth and survive it. His songs always seemed to be about something else. MJ was not only denied childhood, but his gender feeling, his sexuality— everything real about him had to...

susie@susiebright.com (Susie Bright) — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 13:56:45 PDT

Goodie-gumdrops, my book X: The Erotic Treasury is now an audio-book... anyone need a bedtime story? I've fallen in love with the voice actors; they make all my favorites come alive in a new way. Here's a sample from "Parts for Wholes," by MonMouth: And a second, "Must Bite," by...

Who is Adrian Colesberry and Why Do I Want to Make Love To Him?

susie@susiebright.com (Susie Bright) — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 16:26:33 PDT

I get review copies of books all the time, especially sexual advice books. Sad to say, I don't enjoy 99.9% of them. Isn't that awful? I am picky and jaded. A few months ago, a book arrived with the most ludicrous title, and I had to flip to the first...

The Shuffle 15

Okay, you know I'm a sucker for music games like this. My friends Caitlin and Jeff posted the game on Facebook— "15 Songs Shuffled from my iPod." Here's how you play: 1. Turn on your MP3 player. 2. Go to "shuffle" songs mode. 3. Write down the first 15 songs...

Terrorism and the State: A Lesson, Again, for Right and Left by Al Giordano “Those who contemplate artificial terrorism with uncritical admiration, even attempting to practice it—either out of despair or because they are victims of the propaganda the regime propagates in favor of terrorism as the ne plus ultra...

George Tiller's Patients Speak

susie@susiebright.com (Susie Bright) — Sun, 31 May 2009 20:32:26 PDT

"In 1994 my wife and I found out that she was pregnant. The pregnancy was difficult and unusually uncomfortable but her doctor repeatedly told her things were fine. Sometime early in the 8th month my wife, an RN who at the time was working in an infertility clinic asked the...

Mary Kay's Night Out

susie@susiebright.com (Susie Bright) — Tue, 26 May 2009 15:48:15 PDT

Last week, I heard an outlandish announcement: the famous Seattle schoolteacher who ran away with her seventh grade student— and eventually bore his children in wedded chaos— was, after all these years, sponsoring a "Hot for Teacher" night at a local Seattle bar, featuring her husband as DJ. Mary Kay...

Ernie Conrick Does Not Spare You from Golden Hemorrhoids

susie@susiebright.com (Susie Bright) — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 08:40:50 PDT

There is no other way to watch the news today, without losing your integrity: someone's dick must be up your ass or yours up somebody else's— or the news will not make any sense. Ernie Conrick (aka Richard Connerney!) reads another of his Kerouac-opiated inspirations, an original story titled "Golden...

Dear Meghan McCain... Let's Understand Sex Even Further!

susie@susiebright.com (Susie Bright) — Fri, 08 May 2009 06:46:06 PDT

Dear Meghan McCain, You sure set the woods on fire, girl... I just read your blazing editorial for The Daily Beast: "The GOP Doesn't Understand Sex." Good golly. You demanded that conservatives get real and support birth control! It took ovarian nerve to do this. Congratulations! You're the first adult...
