    Sodomy is any sex that isn't for procreation (anal and oral copulation according to Webster's), so how do we know Mr. Mayer isn't just talking about a lively, consensual face fucking?

    This quote sounds more closet gay than rapist to me:

    "It's crazy to me that in my head, that being 32 and dating women is going to get me in trouble," he said, talking faster as he went along. "I can't even explain to you how terrible that feels, that I equate dating a woman with punishment, shame, guilt, disappointment, reproach, reprimand, persecution. It's a nightmare."

    Just wondering: Are there popular "guitar gods" lamer than John Mayer out there? I've often tried to compile a Top Three Guitarists Lamer Than John Mayer, but I inevitably get stuck after number 2.

    @snugbug: Well... I assume you want people from his generation? There are far more awful "guitar gods" from decades past. His only really competition in his age bracket that I can think of (at least as far as shitty frat-blooze playing goes) is Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Of course, I had to look him up to even remember his name, so he's a distant second at best.

    @MyNameIsChris: I bow to your expertise on lame guitarists.

    I entertained the notion that both Tom Morello and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez (that cute prog wizard from The Mars Volta) are significantly nerdier than Mayer, but I take it back. I find their respective signature styles super-geeky, but upon closer consideration, they themselves are in no way John Mayer-lame. This competition yields a landslide win for "the frat blooz preacher."

    OH. I guess I should note that there's also the possibility that John Mayer just hates his publicist. In which case: awesome.

    Furthermore, I have it on good authority that this is one of John Mayer's favorite songs of all time.

    (warning: This song is really fucked-up and offensive, although kind of catchy!)

    I know a girl who met John Mayer at a bar and he told her that she looked like she could give really good head. What made me believe her is that she didn't sound happy about it when she told the story.

    I thought "pocketbooks" was such an odd choice of verbage for Glenn Beck until I realized the alternative was "...pretty much raping the purses of the rich to give to the poor," which was probably too titillating for the Fox News audience as deemed by their overlords.

    You could legalize rape and call it the consumer something and it would pass?

    You could legalize rape and call it the Civil Rights Act of 2009, and it would probably pass?

    Um, what? Rush isn't just obsessed with rape, he thinks it should be legal. This is probably to get his friend Becky out of trouble for that now-famous 1990 incident.

    @naugahydeinplainsight: Bachmann did say that allowing the UAW to have a role in running GM was like forcing a rape victim to marry her rapist. It's not quite up to Rush's level, but you can't say she isn't trying.

    Here's the quote:
    "The UAW was a major reason why the companies hit the wall, and now the UAW will be rewarded with major control and ownership. It is as if a rape victim were forced to marry her rapist."

    Not screamy enough, really. I'm sure she'll figure it out in time.
