Last week in Los Angeles, I produced a new sex-ed movie with porn star Penny Flame, all about how to get people off with your hands.

In one scene, she started giving a hand job to a guy, and I was mesmerized. She used her hands in such creative ways, culminating in this technique where she stroked his shaft with one hand while using her other hand to work his head.

She started out with a flat palm pressing and twisting against his head, then cupped her fingers and turned her wrist like she was juicing a lemon.

Lying on his back, the male performer—who, I'm pretty sure, has had plenty of pairs of hands on his dick during his career—snapped his (other) head up and actually said, "Oh my God, what are you doing to me?"   more »

Rather, Obama advisers and critics of the Iraq war like Zbigniew Brzezinski are seeking to make US imperialist policy more effective.   more »

The prince's role is a sideshow in a conflict where the prospects look grim. The US-led action is on the edge of failure. American intelligence suggests Kabul controls no more than a third of the country.

That raises profound questions about the purpose and strategy of the six-year-old mission. Glorified images of the warrior prince are no substitute for answering them.

The army will use Harry's tour of duty to win popularity for the Afghan mission. But his story provides - at most - a temporary distraction from the troubles on the ground.

Just as the prince is meant to lend legitimacy to the war, so the royals may hope the war will lend legitimacy to the prince.   more »
