Porn For Liberty!







Porn For Liberty!

Porn For Liberty! 08/10/2004 08:03 PM

You wanna be free? Accep t pornography. Or so says Salman Rushdie. He argues that a free and civilised society should be judged by its willingness to accept pornography. So which comes first, the liberty, or the boobies?

Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Porn


Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Porn 02/19/2004 06:06 AM
As Hustler magazine nears its 30-year anniversary, Larry Flint reflects on how technology has changed the adult entertainment business -- and how the Patriot Act relates to porn. Wired News interview by Xeni Jardin.

Wired -- Larry Flynt: Life, Liberty and
Pursuit of Porn
02/19/2004 11:34 AM
For today's edition of Wired News, I interview Larry Flynt. As Hustler magazine nears its 30-year anniversary, the adult entertainment magnate reflects on how technology has changed his business, the Justice Department's new "porn czar," the f irst major federal obscenity prosecution in over a decade, how the Patriot Act relates to porn, and why online anonymity matters. I also asked him about some recent allegations regarding George W. Bush that were attributed to Flynt, and published by New York Daily News. His response: a new book he's releasing on July 4 will document a year-long investigation into those claims. Snip:

Larry Flynt: [Technology has] had a dramatic effect. In the 1980s, publishing was 80 percent of my business. Now it's about 20 percent, and the rest is Internet or video. I don't think many people anticipated how the Internet was going to revolutionize the way we disseminate information. Now everybody does -- but some did in time, and some didn't. That's one of the reasons Penthouse filed for bankruptcy. They were relying totally on publishing. We knew in the early 1990s that we needed to diversify and branched out into a lot of different areas. Technology still has many surprises for us down the road, particularly in the wireless area. It's going to be absolutely phenomenal. In the next two to five years, you'll see the computer and your home television set merging. You'll have one remote control, and they'll effectively be one device.

WN: Do you ever get tired of having to answer for the actions of some of your more extreme colleagues in the industry?

Flynt: No. I let them do their thing and I do mine. I try to set an example for them. But I've been to prison, and I don't think some of them have. Let them try it, maybe it will change their attitude.

where skin porn and food porn collide


where skin porn and food porn collide 03/23/2005 10:09 AM

mmmm

It's fun to use google and see what it returns when searching for 'sticky buns' as, well, the imagination is a poor substitute for reality. When food and skin porn collide it gets fairly ugly pretty quickly. Sticky buns are likely the source of inspiration for the Finnish bostonkakku which are served like a pie rather than the individual buns. One of the guys at work quipped that it is served this way because you can feed 20 instead of 8 people.

I figured that since I was making dallaspulla that I'd make the inspiration for texaspulla and bostonkakku so that my test subjects would know just what they had been missing all these years. :) The dough is a snap to make even without a mixer and is much easier to work with than the pulla dough. The only drawback is the time spent waiting for the dough to rise. With a four-day weekend approaching where absolutely nothing will be open and we'll likely have crappy weather given that it's a holiday, what could be better than making a pan of sticky buns and eating them instead of chocolate eggs? These are, by far, the best cinnamon rolls I've ever made and my test subjects consumed them in a shark chum feeding frenzy. Two guys even asked me for the recipe.

Sticky Buns, a.k.a. caramel rolls or cinnamon rolls

Makes: 12 sticky buns
Time: ~30 minutes prep, 3 hours for dough rising
Source: Cook's Illustrated

This recipe has four components: the dough that is shaped into buns, the filling that creates the swirl in the shaped buns, the caramel glaze that bakes in the bottom of the baking dish along with the buns, and the pecan topping that garnishes the buns once baked. Although the ingredient list may look long, note that many ingredients are repeated. Leftover sticky buns can be wrapped in foil or plastic wrap and refrigerated for up to 3 days, but they should be warmed through before serving. They reheat quickly in a microwave oven (for 2 buns, about 2 minutes at 50 percent power works well); they can also be put into a 325F/175C-degree oven for about 8 minutes.

Dough

  • 3 large eggs at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk (2 dl piima) at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (.5 dl) granulated sugar 
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons table salt 
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast  (1 packet sunnuntai dry yeast)
  • 4 1/4 cups (10,5 dl) unbleached all-purpose flour, plus additional for dusting work surface
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled until warm
  1. In bowl of standing mixer, whisk eggs; add buttermilk and whisk to combine.
  2. Whisk in sugar, salt, and yeast.
  3. Add about 2 cups (5 dl) flour and butter; stir with wooden spoon or rubber spatula until evenly moistened and combined.
  4. Add all but about 1/4 cup (1/2 dl) remaining flour and knead with dough hook at low speed 5 minutes.
  5. Check consistency of dough (dough should feel soft and moist but should not be wet and sticky; add more flour, if necessary); knead at low speed 5 minutes longer (dough should clear sides of bowl but stick to bottom).
  6. Turn dough out onto lightly floured work surface; knead by hand about 1 minute to ensure that dough is uniform (dough should not stick to work surface during hand kneading; if it does stick, knead in additional flour 1 tablespoon at a time).
  7. Lightly spray large bowl or plastic container with nonstick cooking spray. Transfer dough to bowl, spray dough lightly with cooking spray, then cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap.
  8. Set in warm, draftfree spot until doubled in volume, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.

Caramel Glaze

  • 6 tablespoons or 85g unsalted butter 
  • 3/4 cup (1,75 dl) light brown sugar, packed
  • 3 tablespoons corn syrup, light or dark
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream 
  • 1 pinch table salt 
  1. Meanwhile, combine all ingredients for glaze in small saucepan.
  2. Cook over medium heat, whisking occasionally, until butter is melted and mixture is thoroughly combined.
  3. Pour mixture into nonstick metal 13- by 9-inch (33cm x 23cm) baking dish.
  4. Using rubber spatula, spread mixture to cover surface of baking dish.
  5. Set baking dish aside.

Cinnamon-Sugar Filling

  • 3/4 cup (1,75 dl) light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 
  • 1 pinch table salt 
  • 1 tablespoon or 15g unsalted butter, melted
  • Raisins (optional)
  1. Combine brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and salt in small bowl.
  2. Mix with a fork until thoroughly combined, using fingers to break up sugar lumps.
  3. Set aside.

To assemble and bake buns:

  1. Turn dough out onto lightly floured work surface.
  2. Gently shape dough into rough rectangle with long side nearest you.
  3. Lightly flour dough and roll to 16-inch x 12-inch (40cm x 30cm) rectangle.
  4. Brush dough with 1 tablespoon melted butter, leaving 1/2-inch border along top edge; with butter remaining on brush, brush sides of baking dish.
  5. Sprinkle filling mixture over dough, leaving 3/4-inch border along top edge; smooth filling in even layer with your hand, then gently press mixture into dough to adhere. Add rasins if you desire.
  6. Beginning with long edge nearest you, roll dough into taut cylinder.
  7. Firmly pinch seam to seal and roll cylinder seam-side down.
  8. Very gently stretch to cylinder of even diameter and 18-inch (45 cm) length; push ends in to create even thickness.
  9. Using a serrated knife and gentle sawing motion, slice cylinder in half, then slice each half in half again to create evenly sized quarters.
  10. Slice each quarter evenly into thirds, yielding 12 ~1.5 inch (3,75 cm) buns (end pieces may be slightly smaller).
  11. Arrange buns cut-side down in prepared baking dish.
  12. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and set in warm, draft-free spot until puffy and pressed against one another, about 1 hour.
  13. Meanwhile, adjust oven rack to lowest position, place pizza stone (if using) on rack, and heat oven to 350F/175C degrees.
  14. Place baking pan on pizza stone; bake until golden brown and center of dough registers about 180F/82C degrees on instant-read thermometer, 25 to 30 minutes.
  15. Cool on wire rack 10 minutes; invert onto rimmed baking sheet, large rectangular platter, or cutting board.
  16. With rubber spatula, scrape any glaze remaining in baking pan onto buns; let cool while making pecan topping.

Pecan Topping

  • 3 tablespoons or 50g unsalted butter 
  • 1/4 cup (.5 dl) light brown sugar, packed
  • 3 tablespoons corn syrup, light or dark
  • 1 pinch table salt 
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract  or vanilla sugar
  • 3/4 cup (1,75 dl) pecans or walnuts, toasted in a skillet over medium heat until fragrant and browned, about 5 minutes, then cooled and coarsely chopped
  1. Combine butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt in small saucepan and bring to simmer over medium heat, whisking occasionally to thoroughly combine.
  2. Off heat, stir in vanilla and pecans until pecans are evenly coated.
  3. Using soup spoon, pour heaping tablespoon of nuts and topping over center of each sticky bun.
  4. Continue to cool until sticky buns are warm, 15 to 20 minutes.
  5. Pull apart or use knife to cut apart sticky buns; serve.

Will Liberty Live?


Will Liberty Live? 04/29/2004 09:19 AM

  • NY Times: Court Hears Case on U.S. Detainees. The Bush administration yielded no ground before the Supreme Court on Wednesday in arguing that the open-ended military detention of United States citizens as enemy combatants, without criminal charges or access to lawyers, was justified both in law and as policy.
  • The administration's claim here -- that the president and his aides alone can decide to lock an American citizen away forever is a claim to their right, and that of future presidents', to be tyrants. It's incredible that this is even thinkable. But our collective fear from the Sept. 11 attacks, and Congress' absolute spinelessness in defending the Constitution it swore to uphold, has given Bush what he so plainly wants: the opportunity to be the president who asserts, and gets, absolute power. Absolute power is always abused. Always. This kind of absolute power -- making leaders the prosecutor, judge and jury -- is the lynchpin of tyranny. If the court upholds this abuse of liberty, it will be assisting in a crime: If this assault on the Constitution succeeds -- if the Constitution has truly become meaningless on something so fundamental -- then we will have destroyed America to save it. The stakes are that high. NOTE: Slate's coverage of the court arguments yesterday has a smart additional feature. There are inserts linking to the audio of specific exchanges.


    Liberty Still Alive


    Liberty Still Alive 06/28/2004 09:35 PM

  • NY Times: Supreme Court Affirms Detainees' Right to Use Courts. The Supreme Court ruled today that people being held by the United States as enemy combatants can challenge their detention in American courts — the court's most important statement in decades on the balance between personal liberties and national security.
  • There's still a scary deference to the executive branch in some of the language in these rulings. But there's also something to cheer: the president can't decide what the law is. The court punted on the Padilla case. He's an American citizen who was grabbed on U.S. soil and slammed indefinitely into a military brig. The court said his lawyer raised the case in the wrong court. Sheesh. But there's overall good news. As one justice wrote, the "War on Terror" does not give the president "a blank check" in defining the rights -- or lack of rights -- the Constitution grants.

    Two essays on liberty, freedom, and
    patriotism


    Two essays on liberty, freedom, and
    patriotism
    07/05/2004 04:17 PM
    On this American holiday, two pieces that merit considered reading -- both via Dan Gillmor's blog. The first from Pete McCloskey in the SFChron: Patriotism (and shame) on the Fourth of July. "The word patriot is too precious to allow it to be used by the thundering rhetoric of politicians that patriotism requires not only supporting the troops but also supporting the foreign policy that puts them at risk."

    The second, a Sunday column from Dan Gillmor in the SJMerc: "On Independence Day, 2004, how fares American liberty? Brilliantly, if you compare the United States with the tyrannies that still control the lives of countless people. Not badly, if liberty means the right to seek economic gain in a capitalist system -- especially if you're starting with the right connections and a privileged background. Not as well, when you look at growing pressures on longstanding freedoms."

    And when you're done with those, may I suggest down loading the United States Constitution for your iPod, inserting earplugs, cranking up the volume, and taking a walk out there in the fresh summer air.
