  Feud Fight
In The New Republic, Alan Dershowitz explains his "feud" with Norman Finkelstein.

Suddenly I'm the Nazi? And a masturbating one to boot! I'm not shy about entering arguments, but I can't help feeling like I walked into a trap. How could I not argue against Finkelstein? But, when I raise my voice, I know that I'm supplying essential ammunition. I guess when you've got no scholarship to make your tenure case, you need all the outside interference you can get.

With two such contentious people, one is tempted to wish a pox on both their houses, but such an abdication of judgment is probably unfair to Dershowitz. He actually sounds pretty reasonable here.

Is Dershowitz saying he doesn't masturbate?

some people really seem to like attention, but to masturbate in public --or to discuss your masturbatory habits-- is too much...

the love of attention is to vicious that on occasion some people have been known to walk over to places concentrating journalists, just to be interviewed, under the pretense that they were just 'passing by'.

If this pathology continues to progress they may get to really masturbate in front of journalists so they can be interviewed about it...

The Jan 29 thread on this blog 'Monday Morning Zen' with the picture of a tortoise is most informative... suggests someone knew then what the outcome of the Presidential search would be.

I'm not sure what would nauseate me more: Alan Dershowitz masturbating or Larry Summers. Of course, now that Reality TV is in fact the template for our social relations in this country, I expect to see a sperm-off between any day now....

who'd have a higher count?

It isn't the count that matters for this purpose, it's the splatter factor.
