Sex, Lies, and Videotape 0

Well, no videotape.

There might be a major sex scandal brewing in Washington (as my ex would say, “Big whoop”).

Regular readers will know that, by and large, I stay away from sex scandals. I don’t think they reveal much except the existence of original sin (no, the original sin was not sexual–the original sin was weakness, and we all have it somewhere).

I might remark on a sex scandal if the scandal points out the hypocrisy of a public figure, because of the sin of hypocrisy, not because of the sexual (mis)conduct.

So why am I mentioning this?

Because Atrios had two very thoughtful posts on that same scandal and its implications here and here.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
