In 2003, I was an avid reader of the East Bay Express and had even written a very popular, 7,500 word cover story for them.
My secret pleasure was reading the sex column in the back pages written by Dan Savage.
Wow, did I learn things! Savage was so outre, so bold, so progressive in his sexual advice. I simply had no idea...
I recall clearly the day I read the answer to the question about what Santorum really means. And as most of you know by now, the answer wasn't pretty. Little did I know that sitting there in that cafe, I was looking a phrase that would go viral and enter our modern lexicon.
To this day, I don't know how I feel about this definition. Don't misunderstand me: Rick Santorum's position on gays is repulsive. Bestiality? Excuse me?
My husband thinks the new definition of the man's name is hilarious and justified. I don't know. I just don't find my self laughing out loud about it. Santorum's political positions are insane. His character is creepy, as are some of his past actions, in my opinion.
But the word. Really, must we? How do you feel about "santorum"?
