On What Books Make You Cringe To Remember?
Heyyyyyyy youse guyyyyyyys, do you know how stressful it is to read something like this at work, with the risk of someone coming up behind you by surprise while there's a HUGE image of an Ayn Rand book in the middle of the screen??
Also, for the life of me I can't think of any books I've loved that I'm ashamed of. Maybe someone else might be ashamed of them, but hey, the books I loved when I was 12-18 made me who I am today. I went nuts over Siddhartha when I was 13, and who we kiddin', I STILL love Siddhartha today! I loved Madame Bovary when I was 15, and I love Madame Bovary equally well right at this moment. Who knows, maybe I'm just an ol' pompous ass.

On Saul Bellow And The Malevolent Friend
@jfruh Well, for what it's worth, I used to have this awful friend who was a serial philanderer, and on the day that he discovered his girlfriend had finally gotten fed up and cheated on HIM, he went MENTAL, throwing stuff and breaking stuff and everything, with zero self-awareness about any of it. Some of these cheaters, they can dish it out but they just can't take it.

On Obama Still Hates Gay Marriage, No Matter What You Want to Think
Ehhhh, I always figured that Obama only pretends to be against gay marriage in an effort to pander to conservatives, AND that he pretends to be religious in an effort to pander to conservatives as well. The guy is way too smart to either be against gay marriage or to believe in Biblical fairy tales, but being honest about those subjects would never get anyone elected. But IF this is the case (obviously I don't know Obama personally, so I could be talking outta my ass), it still drives me up the wall that Obama could be so lacking in integrity that there could be such a world of difference between his public stances and his private stances. I'm actually not sure which would be more infuriating scenario, Obama publicly pretending to be more conservative than he is, or Obama ACTUALLY being that conservative. I guess maybe the pretending would be the more infuriating thing?
