Angering the internet overlords
Becky C., a self-described conservative (or at least libertarian) lesbian and the author of "Just a Girl in Short Shorts", has found herself flagged for "content" by Google, which owns the Blogspot domain. Her traffic is off 80%, which must be very disheartening.
Now, I've read Becky's blog off and on for months (you can click through the link in my blogroll below), and I think -- treading carefully here -- that Google's judgment is, well, wrong. Her blog has a little sexy edge, but it is PG-13 or at worst a soft "R." So here is my question: Who among Becky's readers hit the "Flag Blog" button? Conservatives who do not like lesbians, or liberals who do not like conservative lesbians?

Hmph...the only thing I disagree with her about is liking grunge music (I don't)...other wise it's a cool site and I RSS linked it. I wish her luck.
I'm hetero, but how do I know I'm not a lesbian trapped in a man's body??

I've sent you an email on this topic that might be enlightening. It has a couple of hyperlinks in it, so if you don't see it you might want to check your spam folder.

"I love circular logic"
If I were a lesbian trapped in a man's body...and my wife was a transexual, would we have a gay marriage?
I should run with this because there HAS TO be Stimulus money out there for situations like this.

I had a boss who had been married and had a child, but then came out as a lesbian and got a girlfriend. But the girlfriend, it turned out, was a genetic and somatic male who identified as a woman but had not yet gone through the sex-change operation. Upon reflection, it appeared that they were "normal." But I boggled at imagining how they did it. Doubtless there was a stimulus for them, too, but I don't exactly quite figure what it would be.

"Conservatives who do not like lesbians, or liberals who do not like conservative lesbians?"
Only guessing here, but given the decades of hate spewed at conservatives by liberals, I would say the later.
Tammy Bruce left the liberals behind when one of her friends admitted he had a bottle of champagne chilling to be uncorked when President Reagan died. Some liberals are as mean and full of hate as they imagine conservative to be.

Hey folks. Those "Liberals" ain't liberal. They're Facists.
Stop calling them Liberal.
