The 44 Most Metrosexual Presidents of All Time.
On Thursday, the New York Times reported on the efforts of a new super-PAC, backed by TD Ameritrade founder Joe Ricketts, dedicated to exposing President Obama as a radical, no-good “metrosexual, black Abraham Lincoln.”
But Barack Obama isn’t our first metrosexual president. He’s not even our first metrosexual Abraham Lincoln
From this month’s Rolling Stone:
Some people criticize the “sexposition on the show—but your books have plenty of sex. Do you ever take heat for that?
I get letters about that fairly regularly. It’s a uniquely American prudishness. You can write the most detailed, vivid description of an ax entering a skull, and nobody will say a word in protest.

Penises entering vaginas bring a lot more joy into the world than axes entering skulls.
Isn’t that precisely what gets our puritan instincts so riled?

From Benny Morris’ Righteous Victims, a history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict:

Happy Birthday Israel. Not every Zionist is your friend.
